Susan and now Fatima told of the plans for Kevin. They wanted him to take a two year
leave of absence from the Station. He is a good talker and he has the perfect voice to attract
peoples attention. He also believes in the ideas of Alex Close. He has read some of the books
and is very familiar with the Bible of ATOM. Susan and Fatima spoke in unison, we want
him to be the first Atomminister of the Church of Atom. He will be supplied with guards all
the time and everyone will accept them as members.
Nan looked at Nate, 'What do you think of the scenario so far?'
He laughed, my boy a television preacher?
Nan laughed and then started to talk again. Remember Nate the time span of all these
happenings. Those people finished their drinks and went downstairs to a cab to take them
to restaurant to eat. When they exited the elevator on the first floor, Fatima let out a gasp,
there was Margaret Smyth's assistant.
She nodded at Fatima and said the boss, Margaret had asked her to get some clean note
paper as they had spilled tea.
Fatima did not know what to do. She was going to rush out to the garden and give
Margaret you know what. She had given her key to the assistant which is against all rules.
She looked out at Margaret sitting in her high chair facing the River and decided better
when she returned she would talk to her and have the assistant fired at once.
Dinner was a loss, Fatima could not get her mind off of Margaret and finally they left the
restaurant and caught a cab back to the quarters. Susan grabbed Fatima and told her
something was wrong, she did not know what though. Fatima told Susan to call some of the
guards on her phone and she was going to enter. Do not enter she told the two. Fatima went
through the delivery door entrance. Her master key fit all of the electronic locks. The
building was as quiet as a mouse in cheese. She went up to the first level that looked out
into the garden. Margaret Smyth was there sitting in her chair, it looked like she had not
moved since they left before. Fatima felt around the darkened room and in the half light of
Ireland she knew the room to be empty. She dropped caution and entered the Garden area
and found no one there except Margaret and she was dead. A knife was still stuck in her
Breast and the blood had dried on her clean white blouse.
Fatima went through the building up and down and no sign of the assistant. Two of the
woman guards had arrived and Susan and Mohammed entered with them.
The police were called and it looked like a robbery and they were satisfied. The two guards
stayed as the trio went up to the sleeping quarters. Susan was quiet and then she turned to
Fatima and told her they may have trouble.
The assistant was in the house alone, do you think she could have overheard our
conversations? If so then she knows about the two scholars working on the Jewish and
King James Bibles. She also knows of our plans for Kevin. The only thing not mentioned
was the Rome Connection.
'Nate, the attack on Kevin was by a religious group not the Brill group.
The trouble in Ireland, the murder of the women of our organization was by the same
group. Fatima told Kevin some of our members are spies and we do nothing about it. The
reason we do nothing is we do not know why they are spies and who are they spying for.
Some may be from Brill but the numbers are too many to be from him alone. 'Nate we
believe there is an organized religion or religions who have determined to eliminate our
organization. Somehow they have discovered the time of ATOM has come.'
'Go back to Kevin and stay with him tonight and let me know if I should proceed to
Ireland or France. If you have free time from your nursing duties please give some thought
about Kevin and you.'
She smiled at him and then said.
' I forgot to tell you we picture you as the Second Atomminister and you will be stationed
in Haifa. All I have told you was faxed to the Plane in code, have no fear I told you no one
can beat this plane.'
