A Warning from someone who
knows...
“We all like to believe we are
masters of our fate. However, usually it isn’t true. Somewhere, a person
exists, sometimes completely unknown to you, whose slightest action impacts
your life.”
Blurb
Jason Connors, the head of the
FBI, becomes involved in a simple immigration case in which a doctor from
Africa has married an American woman so he can enter the United States. Some
claim the doctor is not human, but rather a cat-like alien species that can
mimic the human form. Determined to discover what is really going on, he sends
his brightest agent, Carmella Ginkabo, to Africa, to uncover the facts.
Courageously, she travels deep into the jungle to learn the truth from the
first of this species who originally landed on Earth two hundred years prior.
Her discovery alters the future of Earth forever.
EXCERPT
“Sometimes, fate is like that,
bringing together people who need each other,” the doctor said.
“Need each other?” Catina
repeated. “In this case the need appears to have been all on my part.”
Schuler coughed. “Yeah, well,
actually I promised the doctor a favor in return. Except it ain’t me that’s got
to do the favor. It’s you.”
Catina didn’t like the worried look on
Schuler’s face.
“Maybe we should wait until she’s
stronger,” Dr. Tiburon suggested.
“No,” Schuler replied. “I better
tell her now while she’s weak and can’t kill me.”
“Schuler,” Catina glared at her
tracker, “What have you done?”
“Well you gotta understand the
situation. You were almost dead when I got you to the village. The doctor had
one vial of antiserum in his case, and that weren’t near enough to counteract
the amount of venom in your blood. So we needed to get you to the hospital
quick.”
“And?”
“When I radioed, I was told no
chopper would be available for at least two days, at which time, I’ll be
carrying out a corpse. However, the doctor got a copter there in two hours. So
just remember, I was negotiating for your life.”
Catina turned to the handsome
doctor. “So how much do I owe you?”
“It is not money, Ms. Nelson. To
get the helicopter, I had to barter away something very important. I only ask you
to replace what I lost in the trade.”
“Of course. And that was?”
“American citizenship.”
Catina blinked. “Pardon?”
“I had paid a woman considerable
money to marry me, so I could enter the States as her husband. Now she has
married the man who sent the helicopter to save you.”
Catina was stunned. “You want me
to marry you, so you can become an American citizen?”
“That is what I bartered away to
save your life. That is what your tracker promised in your behalf to replace.”
