Anna gives me a look, "Do they think we are with Will, since we carace is that I came in twice, for whatever reason, only uard who let the four of us in, didn’t record us He only recorded when I cao, after I went and took Star and everyone home"

It seems too perfect It feels like it breaks one of et out of here It’s too convenient We need to go Me and Anna will stay up here You go find the address for Marshall’s and then we all leave"

He shakes his head, "I can get it in the apartment I have a computer that is linked, I work fro in uts that I have learned to trust, "Wait"

He looks back, "What?" He’s getting annoyed

I point, not really at hiht Will in twice now, saved Anna once, and brought me in a few ti watched Why would they trust you?"

His eyes look scary for the first time ever He bites his lip, "Trust me, they just do"

I shake my head, "I want answers This is too easy"

Anna looks confused

He looks at her and then down, "This place wouldn’t be possible without me I knew exactly what they had planned fro and stupid, and the idea made sense I helped them make this place The scientific proof was there The UN was right, erethe world sick We were the problem I was nineteen and it all made sense The first paper I ever wrote in university was based on the UN’s belief that the five-percent plan was the only way to save the world Only I didn’t stop there, I went on to help plan exactly hoould be i only the best of the best survived to help weed out the imperfections I was fourteen at the time I went to university early"

I take a step back froet sick

He nods, "I’ nineteen I had a double doctorate I didn’t know that some of my teachers were members of the special cohs, "I saw the Georgia Guidestones as a kid I saw them and I believed that they were correct The science was there So when they explained as about to happen, I believed"

I give Anna a look and then hiets a glea an alias coia The h It’s got an inscription on it that’s translated into eight es and four ancient ones The inscription is ten principles or guides to a successful future"

I sit down on the ledge of the roof, "This is about to get creepy, isn’t it?"

He nods, "It is Rule one, maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature Rule two, guide reproduction wisely--i fitness and diversity Rule three, unite hue Rule four, rule passion--faith--tradition--and all things with tempered reason Rule five, protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts Rule six, let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court Rule seven, avoid petty laws and useless officials Rule eight, balance personal rights with social duties Rule nine, prize truth--beauty--love--seeking harmony with the infinite Rule ten, be not a cancer on the earth--leave room for nature--leave room for nature"

Anna whispers, "You repeated the last part"

He nods, "Yup That’s exactly as it’s stated on the guidestones So the plan was implemented, all nations would adhere to this but keep their countries pure to whatever they were initially Blacks were sent to Africa, South Americans to South America, Chinese to China, and so forth"

I point at his face, "There were Americans and Canadians ere born here and white people ere born in Europe, how did you sort that out?"

He shakes his head, "We didn’t--are you kidding? We lost total control The infection was based on soht people, genetically-superior people It didn’t work It mutated We had to build the city, try to keep the people ere breeding alive, and Michael was slowly getting crazier and crazier"

I wave e ives Anna a defeated look, "I’ht?"

She shrugs and looks down I can see the fury on her and she’s unstable enough to act out on it I point to the door, "Let’s go find Marshall’s plan and end this shit"

He looks sickened, but not nearly as much as we are I kneorked, essentially, but not to this degree One language and prizing beauty with truth and love, that’s crazy Beauty is nothing, compared to truth and love

I walk down the stairs, unsure of Bernie’s true feelings I know Anna feels the sa close toback He leads us to the door to his place
