CHILDREN OF SATAN

Walking up the steps to the Capitol Abrams felt calm; his demeanor was that of a five-star General and he carried himself as a person fully in control of the situation. Walking through the metal detector, he first emptied his pockets and placed them in a plastic bowl. Alderman stood at the door and said to Abrams, "I am sorry, sir; but I must ask you if you are carrying any type of metal objects, or have a weapon of any kind on your body?"

"No, what is in the bowl is all, except for my service metals I wear on my chest...I am not removing them for any reason."

"Go ahead, General and walk through." The detector sounded an alarm, and the security man scanned him with a hand held detector. The alarms sounded again, but only over his medals.

FBI Director Walter Morgan said, "Come with me and I'll escort you to your seat, General. I will join you later." Seated near the front, Morgan joined him after a couple of minutes, and he sat to his right.

Morgan said, "What do you suppose is in the big present, which the Secret Service is guarding?"

Elijah Abrams answered, "I have no idea, perhaps two creatures of Biblical proportions."

Morgan answered, "After what we have been through, I would say you are exactly correct. I've have had to deal with what NASA's Alicia's Santos really discovered orbiting Jupiter, the earthquakes and floods of Biblical proportion that she predicted...hell...I am becoming a believer. We are losing control...this just might be the final battle predicted in Revelations. If it is, just get it over with once and for all, I say, why the fucking delays and drawing it all out."

"I hope you are wrong. I never read the New Testament; I am a Jew. To me religion is just a crutch for people, and a tool for governments to control the masses."

"What happened to our agents, who we sent to infiltrate the SDL?"

"I have no idea. Perhaps dead, killed in the earthquake. Two of our best, one from the FBI and the other from the CIA; they never showed for lunch with the President. We went to their house from where they were to infiltrate the SDL, and found it flooded, but they may be alive, and are currently brainwashed members of the SDL. The last financial action at their banks showed they gave all their money to them. I doubt we ever see or hear from them again."

"I regret that, Walter. This country has overcome many disasters in the past. We will overcome this one, too, with the right leadership, but McDowell is not that leader. Maybe, I am under estimating her power, but we can't take that chance.

"Well, General, let's hope she does have the power to right this nation, otherwise we will have a terrible couple of years until the next election."

Alderman joined them and sat on the left of Abrams and said, "Well, gentlemen are you ready for the show?"

Homeland Security Chief, Alderman said, "I think this will go down in history as one of the most extraordinary events ever." FBI Director Morgan did not like Alderman's tone. It seemed sarcastic to him and he felt his senses tingle, alerting him to danger. He looked around the chambers and saw Secret Security Agents, Homeland Security and his FBI agents posted everywhere. He hoped what he sensed would not come true. He got up, went to his agents, and told them to be on guard for anything. Particularly, to watch for a move from Homeland Security officers against the President, he then returned to his seat, just in time to stand up as the new President walked down the central aisle. Loud applause greeted her as she entered, and the Sergeant of Arms introduced her. The members of Congress wanted to show a unified support for the President in this dire time for the country, and everyone stood as they gave her a long and sustained ovation.

Claire felt power flowing through her veins. She had dreamt of becoming President ever since Levi prophesied of this day. Everything seemed a blur as she stepped up to the podium to give her speech to the nation. Alinda, her spirit guide, whispered, "I am with you, forever."

She paused as she reached her chair behind the podium. In her hand was her hand written speech, and she waited until the congress stop their applause and took their seats. She thought, Alinda, I feel your presence, and your will.

Alinda replied, "I know your thoughts and I am here to advise, and protect you. I will be with you the remainder of your life, and tonight I will speak to the nation. You are not as powerful as you think and there are those who would kill you. People are staring, Claire, I must address the nation for you."

Claire stood up and in plain sight tore up her speech, and addressed the nation. "Distinguished Congress, and the people of this great nation, I thought I knew what I was going to say tonight, but considering the circumstances I believe we should begin with a prayer for the soul of our murder President, and then for the nation as we mourn or loss. I am not concerned with what faith you practice or whether or not you believe in God. But please, stand while we observe a minute of silent prayer." After the moment of prayer she continued, "Please be seated. In the short history of our nation, we have not been to this crossroad. Not since the Civil War have we faced such dire circumstances and we...will survive this! I will govern with love, compassion and an iron will! No longer will you have to doubt our politician's ability to make decisions, for I will work hard to bring hope and joy back to the citizens of the United States of America! At a time like this, only one way exists to resolve terrible situations.

As you have noticed, I brought two presents for you from the military. This secret project has been under development for nearly two decades, just for times like these. It will be able to bring stability and security to the homeland. It will be able once again to bring the nation the power to secure peace. The people are shouting with one voice: Give us a leader who will lead us out of this living hell! I am that leader, a leader selected by fate! I am leader by the will of God! I will not allow this nation to fall apart, not on my watch! If we cannot unite...we will surely fall. General Abrams this is your project, please open the gift so the nation might understand we have things under control and no one will stand against us."

Inside the carrier, Victor said to Six, "something is wrong. That is not the thought pattern of the President. Someone or something else is controlling her."

Six replied, "Yes, you are right my brother, but this mind also is off limits to my probing. She is too powerful a being, and it is not of this world."

"What if we cannot stop Claire?"
