Before heading for Pal ular con?tact It&039;s a promise we keep to each other I have left hiht without explanation and have prohter, Kalika, still walks the streets, and it is iain Seymour and I, we cover each other&039;s backs But I feel in ain A part ofconstantly for him I have to wonder if my intuition about her is attached to the psychic thread that connects all mothers to their children
Dr Seter and Jas They have an old white Volvo, I a brand-new red Porsche James is behind the wheel I keep only fifty feet behind, just off to their right in the fast lane They would be surprised to know that I can hear them as they speak Yet it is only e have been on the road an hour that they finally begin to talk Before then Dr Seter had bees slipping in and out of sleep
Ja this?"
Dr Seter: "Do you think we should just ignore her?"
James: "Not at all I&039;m as curious about her as you Re But I think we should investigate her background before totting her see the scripture"
Dr Seter: "What harm can she do to it? She will not be able to translate a fraction of the hieroglyph?ics without hours of time I don&039;t care hoell versed she is in the field" A pause "She must be older than she looks It takes years to learn to read the way she did"
James: "I&039;m sure she&039;s older than she looks Notice she didn&039;t actually tell you her age?"
Dr Seter: "What are you saying? That she has ed to re-verse her age?"
Jah initiation"
Dr Seter: "That&039;s what startled roup who know about that" A pause "Shethe truth She ree But she&039;s evasive I don&039;t trust her I want full security e show her the papyrus"
Dr Seter: "Of course You&039;ve called ahead? They knoe&039;re coroup will be there"
Dr Seter: "Really? Why? We don&039;t need all of them there The others should be on their way to San Francisco"
Jairl" A pause "But I have another reason"
Dr Seter "What?"
Jae about the child"
Dr Seter: "Now you&039;re speculating"
James: "I&039;m not so sure She see harmed" A pause "Maybe I say that backward I wonder if she already knows about the Dark Mother"
I al about Kalika
My daughter? Did Suzao?
Dr Seter: "I didn&039;t get that i really off the wall?"
Dr Seter: "It&039;s a long drive We may as well discuss every possibility"
Ja for the Black Mother?"
Dr Seter laughs: "She hardly seems, the type, do you think?"
James: "Consider She looks like a twenty-year-old, but she appears to have the education of someone who has studied for thirty years Also, her manner is curious Notice the way she catches your eye, and then says things you have trouble re?sisting"
Dr Seter laughs some more: "I never noticed that I think you are the one who is having trouble resisting her"
Ja her to the child by letting her study the scripture"
Dr Seter :"But there&039;s nothing in the scripture that points to where the child is at this time, except perhaps still in California"
James: "To us maybe But she may find clues in the text we haveto endanger the child further From the descriptions I have read of the Dark Mother, I wouldn&039;t want anyone, friend or foe, to run into her I think that kind of evil lives to kill"
Dr Seter: "But you know, son, we have spent the last ten years preparing to meet her" A pause "It&039;s inevitable, if we&039;re to believe half of e&039;ve read"
James: "Do you really think we&039;re the ones chosen to defend the child?"
Dr Seter: "I wouldn&039;t have bought so h "I&039;overn?ment than that she represents the Dark Mother"
Ja?"
Dr Seter "As I said, it can cause no harm She will not have time to translate the portions of the scripture we don&039;t want her to translate And she will find nothing in our center the governht" A pause "She is incredibly beautiful"
Dr Seter: "I noticed"
I find their private conversation fascinating
The center they have referred to is a large house in an area clearly zoned for both business and residential properties There arethe street as we pull up Like Dr Seter, I aroup here, especially when they have a lecture the fol-lowing night in San Francisco Yet Jaly accurate He won?ders if the Dark Mother has sent me Hoould he feel if he knew I am the Dark Mother&039;shi I have learned by eavesdrop?ping is that the Suzama Society is there to protect the child, not harm it Still, the reference to auto?ht couns in the hands of true believers seldoht time
What is the source of James&039;s excellent intuition? Perhaps it is a result of following Suzama&039;sintriguing Is Ja that aging is a product of lower consciousness, and ihest consciousness
Dr Seter and James welcome me warmly as I climb from my car
"Did you have a pleasant drive?" Seter asks
"I listened to loudto all the cars "Is there another lecture here tonight?"
Dr Seter glances at Jaroup have returned here to collect supplies for the re-mainder of my tour," the doctor explains "I have to fly to the East Coast after estures to the house "Please come in Would you like some coffee?"
"Thank you, no I a up behind us "You&039;re a night person"
Inside there are two dozen navy blue suits, half and half, pants and skirts, et the unifor, especially around Dr Seter, who seeh he seeroup studies e house The place is orderly, the furniture traditional, every corner clean and dust free There is a faint odor of fried chicken in the air, etarians, even though Suza at the innocent faces, I wonder if they practice using their automatic weapons deep in the desert when no one is around Sie, jail tio to such extree? He has not fed the eneht just to get her to stop crying My dear daughter-- She can kick ht That, I know from experience
The memory of Eric Hawkins, Kalika&039;s personal snack bar, is never far
"Oh God, I&039; out! Help me!"
But I could not help hi woe steps forward to shake my hand "My name is Lisa," she says "You&039;re Alisa?"
"Yes"
"We hear you can read hieroglyphics?"
"Hieroglyphics and comic books have always been favorites of hter "Where are you from, Lisa?"
"North Dakota I met Dr Seter there last year--"
"Lisa is our accountant," Dr Seter interrupts "I call her boss"
The group laughs They obviously love the man
