A story we all write.

Carolyne is going to show you all more things you can do with these little machines. They are esoteric in nature and they enhance your spiritual essence. You girls need to get some sleep, we will be leaving in a few hours. I want to drive during the night so we have less chance of being spotted and searched. I have outfitted the jeep with infrared lighting so we can drive without bright lights. We will take some rough back roads to reach Jim and should take no more than 5 hours by the way we are going.

Evelyne and Eryne shuffled off to their room, both feeling wide awake and very excited. Eve touched Eryne’s mind and both became one again. Hava communicated to Luun that they did not need the esoteric machines so much but they did help to open up blocks that had been placed upon them when they re- incarnated back to this existence. Hava wanted to touch her fathers mind and comfort him by letting him know they were coming for him. Luun agreed and the one’s essence reached out and touched Jim as he lay down in a soft bed of grass. Hava/Luun downloaded their thoughts and Jim became more relaxed. He took the little esoteric machine from his pocket and managed to produce an apple in his hand. As he ate he heard the helicopters flying low over the main road that was about mile to his south. He knew they would be circling in greater maneuvers as they continued to search. He also knew that they were using their infrared heat seekers. This is why he was using the esoteric machine to block his heat signature. While he was munching the apple, two deer approached him. Even though they could not see him they sensed him and became weary as they approached. He kept very still and thought it would be good to give them an apple. He brought two into his hand and set them on the ground. Both deer sniffed the air and came up to him and ate the apples. They moved away and bedded down in a thicket. Jim then fell asleep with Hava/Luun giving him comfort

Sergeant Polistate stared at the yellow scrammer as it moved along state route 63, he turned to his co-pilot and told him to get the crew ready to search and interrogate the car and its occupants. He was looking for answers and it did not set well with him that Lieutenant Braintwist had yelled at him and had given no clear answers to his questions. This had only served to make his ugly self more inflamed. He needed to release the pent up energy that was building and his anger was going to be released on someone, he did not necessarily want to release it on his men so this car which was the only one they had seen on the road since the search had begun was the perfect target at the moment. He pushed the helicopter forward to get in front of the car and dropped down to be in front. He placed his finger on the mini-gun trigger and spoke into the loudspeaker. “This is the police, you will pull over and stop or you will be destroyed for disobeying”.

Sam looked over at Karen and turned the car into the side lane and brought it to a stop. The copter landed in front of them and 3 men jumped out and headed towards them. The first one to reach them told Sam to roll down his window. Sam obeyed and as soon as the window was down the man reached into the car and grabbed him by the neck and pulled his pistol out and pointed it at Karen and told both of them to get out. Once out side of the car the other two opened all the doors and began tearing the car apart. Sam began to ask the the first one Why and what was going on? The policeman punched him and told him to shut up. Karen screamed and one of the two that were tearing the car apart grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Sam tried to intervene but was knocked to the ground also. At this time Sam heard the copter’s engine shut down.

Sergeant Polistate jumped out and walked over to the scene. He looked at Sam and to his men and told them to get him up. Sam was dragged to a standing position and two of the men were holding him. Polistate looked at him and asked, where have you come from and where are you going? Sam looked up and said, “we have come from Jacksonville Mississippi and we are headed for Cokeville West Virginia. Polistate then asked how long it had been since they had left Mississippi. Sam then said since yesterday. Polistate then asked, have you picked up anyone or have you seen anyone along the road? Sam said, no, we have not picked up anyone but we did stop at a café awhile back and talked with a gentleman there to ask for directions. His place was closed but he seemed to be working on something late and gave us directions. Polistate asked what this gentleman looked like and Sam told him that he appeared to look old, he had gray hair and could possible be in his 80’s. Polistate looked at his men and told them to get back to the copter. He then turned to Sam and said “we are sorry to have detained you.” You and your friend may continue on your way”. Oh and we are sorry for the condition of your car. As the sergeant walked back to his helicopter, Sam heard the rotor start up, he moved over and helped Karen get up and had a bad feeling. He and Karen moved to the side of the car away from the road. He whispered to Karen to get off the side and into the brush. Just as they jumped into a ditch the helicopter’s mini-gun opened up and blew the car into pieces. The helicopter then flew back the way they had come. Sam and Karen looked in amazement and both wondered what had just happened.

Sergeant Polistate told his crew that they were going back to that roadside station they had passed awhile back. He had relieved some of his anger by using the mini-gun on the car but he was still angry and needed some more release so it would be interesting to see what was at the café/station

Bill woke the girls and told them it was time to go. Evelyne woke and had a very bad feeling in her essence, she touched Eryne and both sensed a foreboding. Bill felt the evil closing in from the north and east. “We seemed to have another immediate task that must be handled before we can retrieve Jim. Bill sounded an alarm in the compound and all the folks came running. Evelyne and Eryne both stood in the garden and began to explain that a very bad evil was approaching the café/station. Bill was fiddling with a device and all the folks were beginning to grap each others hands. Christine, Maria and Mark appeared to be confused but Carolyne approached them and told them that they must all make the café/station disappear temporarily and they also must make the evil people believe that they have destroyed something so they will think they have done there job and move on.

All of the folks in the compound stood in a big circle and connected with each other. Light formed in their hearts and lit each in a circle. Evelyne and Eryne stood in the center and the light connected them to the outer ring. Hava/Luun placed the shield over the real café/station and created an illusionary café/station further up the road to the east.

As the helicopter rounded a curve in the road, sergeant Polistate saw the lights of the café/station just ahead. He then witnessed the escaped prisoner entering the café and activated his mini-gun. He brought the helicopter to a hoover just in front of the café windows and saw a dozen people inside. He told his crew to witness the escaped prison and what he was going to do. He them pressed the trigger on the mini-gun and strafed the café blowing it to pieces. As the bullets ripped into the building a large explosion occurred and he had to move the copter back. The entire building exploded and the station dissolved into a giant fireball. Polistate moved the helicopter back and sat it down. They watched as the buildings burned and waited for the fires to die down before they all climbed out of the copter and approached the devastation. Once they approached they all saw the burned bodies and the total destruction of the café/station. Sergeant Polistate told his crew to get aboard and that this issue was over. Once aboard and back in the air they were headed back to Mississippi. Sergeant Polistate called into headquarters and reported that the prisoner had been eliminated and they were headed back. Lieutenant Braintwist told him to divert and head south to capture another prisoner that had escaped, Polistate acknowledged and banked to the south

Hava/Luun disconnected and the lights of hearts settled back into each individual. Evelyne and Eryne both sank to the ground and gathered energy back. All the folks in the circle were sitting down and/or looking for a place to rest. A great weakness had overtaken the folks as soon as the lights were extinguished. Bill and Carolyne appeared from nowhere it seemed with drinks and little bisquits. Evelyne looked at Eryne and both girls new that what had been accomplished had taken a tremendous amount of energy. Evelyne knew that doing what they all did would soon become easier for all with time and experience and the more awakened souls that understood and learned how to gather the energy of the universe the easier it was going to be to heal the world.

Bill walked over to the girls and said, “I think you both need some more rest at the moment, now that the military/police have given up the search for Jim’. We can leave in a few hours and still get to Jim by mid afternoon” The girls nodded and stood, shakily, but all the same stood. Evelyne hooked arms with Eryne and they both headed off to their room. Christine sat next to Mark and Maria and asked Mark how the work on the plane was going, Mark said that he had just looked it over just before they were all called to take care of the problem with the Police, but from what he had seen, the work should not take more than a few days. Carolyne approached and sat down next to all of them and asked how they were all feeling. They all nodded and said that they were all a bit tired but nothing a little rest could not cure. Christine new that Bill and the girls were going to get Jim but she couldn’t help being worried. Even though they all had created an illusion and chased the police off by making them think that they had killed Jim. She knew that in this topsy turvey world of madness and how it had become a complete police state run by tyrants, there was always a “Murphy’s Law” in play. She would feel on edge until they retrieved Jim and got him back here to safety.

Jim woke up and was startled by the two deer feeding on the grass next to him. He remained very still but knew that sooner or later he was going to have to move. He didn’t have to wait long as the deer began to move away towards to north. He watched them walk and stop and sniff the air and move again being very weary and then both took off running. Jim heard the noise of the engine before he saw the old truck coming from the North on the old road, it came to a skidding stop and a younger looking man jumped from the passenger side and took aim with a rifle and let off a shot towards the North West. Jim knew the man was shooting at the deer that had been next to him. He started to yell at the man but didn’t for the same reason that the deer had run off. Jim knew that hunting in today’s world was against the law and carried a death penalty if caught. This had become another way to steal peoples self defense. First firearms were banned and then hunting was banned. The police knew they could not just outright collect all the weapons in the country but by doing a little at a time they would be able get as much as possible without starting a complete civil war. The cowards were totally afraid of the greater populace but still resorted to murder by one or two most of the time.

The man jumped back in the truck and the driver turned around and took what appeared to be an old logging road headed in the Northwest direction. Jim watched them bounce over the road as they disappeared over a rise. He hoped that the deer had escaped this time but knew that folks had come to rely on wild game to feed them selves. It was just that he had bedded down with these deer and did not wish for them to be destroyed. Once he could not here the trucks motor anymore he decided to turn the little machine off but not before moving deeper into the woods. As he reached a secluded area that could not be seen from any road, he stopped thinking about invisibility and turned the machine off then sat down. He was hungry so he turned the machine on and thought about fruit. A clump of grapes materialize into his hand and he began to eat. While he was munching away he heard the faint sound of a helicopter. This gave him pause and he stood up and moved towards a very dense clump of brush. As he was walking toward what he thought may be better cover, the helicopter sound kept getting louder and louder. He then knew that he was going to have to use the machine to hide his heat signature once again, so he moved into the brush and found a nice clear area within to sit down and brought his mind to the thought of no heat emanation. The little machine erased him from any heat seeking radar and he sat very quiet

[Lost N Found]

Captain Axe banked his chopper to the left and headed up the old road towards what looked like a large group of trees. He was following the lead of gunshots that had shown up on his resonator screen 30 minutes ago. All choppers had been outfitted with these resonators when the laws had made hunting illegal and had a distance perimeter of 200 miles. As the gunship approached the forest and the origin of the shot, Axe asked his co-pilot “which direction did the residue of heat move” Lieutenant Molet said that it showed on his screen that the heat signature had moved towards the Northwest and it looked as if a large signature such as a car or truck might make was heading in that direction also. Captain Axe followed his gage and swung the chopper to the Northwest over an old logging road. As he came up on a small pond he saw the truck sitting in the road with both doors wide open and the heat signature of the bullet ended in an old stump close to the truck The chopper hovered over the truck and Axe turned the heat signature on for humans. The resonator shifted as if an eyelid closed and opened and the radar picked up two body signatures heading off around the pond, one on each side. Captain Axe knew that this was going to be a bright spot in his day as he would eliminate some more hunters as well as gun owners. So far since he had gained this command and had been flying this chopper he had racked up 5087 eliminations. Capture and taking prisoners was not an option in his book, It was to expensive and to messy. Killing was all he knew. Lieutenant Molet said that one of targets was 200 yards to the Southwest and the other one appeared to be on the Northwest side of the pond holding steady at 300 yards. Captain Axe smiled and activated his mini-guns on both sides of the chopper, this was going to fun. He calculated the moving target first and would take him out then go for the static target and then double back and clean the truck up also.

Jock laster had heard the chopper before they stopped the truck and new what was coming next. He looked at his son Jacob and told him what they were going to do. As soon as the truck stopped, Jacob jumped out with his rifle and headed towards the south side of the pond. He knew his dad would not let him get captured and had done this so many times before. Jock got out and opened the box in the bed. He pulled out the RPG and the four rockets that were next to it. He then loaded one and put the others in a backpack and headed towards the North side of the pond. Once he got to the spot he wanted he set a heat beacon on automatic and put his suit on that erased his heat signature. The pond was going to be the perfect place to hide the destruction of the chopper. Jock moved off toward the west side of the pond and kept moving until he would be in the right place as he figured to down the chopper. He knew that Jacob would be rounding the south side when he heard the chopper stop and hover over the truck and then start moving towards the south side.

Captain Axe closed on the moving target slowly savoring the moment. He thought that the best position to eliminate this target would be for him to maneuver over the pond and then open fire as the subject entered the clearing coming up just his south. Bringing the chopper out over the water, he brought it to a hover position and aimed both mini-guns at the clearing as he watched the target continue to advance toward the clearing. He was thinking to himself, how stupid these people have become since we completely took over. He was smiling and began to laugh as he started to squeeze the trigger on the mini-gun when he noticed a flash from his right and thought to himself, these rotten criminals just as the RPG blew the entire chopper into bits.

Jock watched as the remains of the chopper fell quickly into the pond and disappeared. Jacob ran up to him and said that was amazing now can we go? Jock said to wait “we have to make sure this is covered up first” As the water covered up the flames Jock began moving back towards the North side to retrieve his beacon. Once they both reached the truck and turned it around they headed back out. Jock told Jacob that they were going to have to move towards the north and cover their tracks for a few weeks. The missing chopper is going to stir up some manhunt situations as you know so we have to cover the heat signatures and ditch the truck and carry on foot to the cabin up the long creek. Jacob new the routine and just shook his head.

Jim heard the truck motor once again and could just see the old logging road from where he was sitting. The truck came over the rise and hit the main old road to the North and continued to move off in that direction. Jim had heard the explosions and wondered what may have happened. He was waiting for the chopper sounds but did not here them. It was late in the morning and he was wondering also where Bill and the girls were.

[Lost N Found]

Bill had gathered the girls and loaded the jeep with whatever would be needed is they had to stay the night and the necessary tools needed for mechanical work. He placed spar tires on the top rack and spare fuel cans in the rear. They had driven on the old road towards the north for about an hour before they turned on another old road towards the west. Bill said that they would travel this old road for about 3 hours before they had to take a series of roads to the south and west and then cross a river. They would hopefully come to a low water crossing to get across the river but if the water was running to deep the would have to wait or find another crossing which may take them hours. Two hours into travel on the old west road they came to a washed out portion of the road and had to stop to survey a way around it. As they climbed out of the Jeep a flock of birds rose from the gully and flew off towards the North. Bill pulled some binoculars from the Jeep and began surveying the south and the north areas. He lowered the binoculars and looked at the girls and shook his head, “I was afraid of this but did not want any one to get worried yet. It looks as it this wash keeps on going to the south and I can’t see how far it is to the north due to the bend around the hill. With the four wheel drive we can travel across the terrain until we come to a crossing that we can possibly traverse. That is all we can do at this moment.

Eryne looked at her father and asked if the little machines could be any help? Bill looked at the gully and guessed the depth and distance across, he turned to the girls and said, “it looks to be about 20 feet deep and around a hundred feet to the other bank. I am not sure we could make something that would span across at this point. Evelyne touched Eryne and both girls entered the universal spirit. Bill watched in wonder as the Jeep appeared to lift off the ground and float through the air towards the west side of the gully. Hava/Luun gathered the material into energy and moved it to another location and brought it to a new place. It was easy to just grasp the electrical energy and form it into a ball and then move it through the universe to another place. Bill watched the Jeep dissolve into the ball of energy and float across the gully to the other side and then reform into the Jeep as it set down on the old road. Bill turned to the girls as they separated into each other. Evelyne and Eryne both looked at him and smiled. Bill said, and just when were you going to tell me you both could do that? Eryne looked at her Father and said, we thought you already knew we did not need the little machines to move matter through time. Bill chuckled as he turned and jumped down the bank and began to laugh. Come we must get across this gully and resume our travels.

The girls giggled as they levitated them selves across the gully and set down next to the Jeep. Bill watched and broke out into a hilarious fit of laughter. The girls continued to giggle as they raised Bill and brought him to the Jeep.

Jim knew he could not stay in his current location much longer, word would soon get out that the helicopter had crashed and would soon be swarming with police. As tired as he was he started to jog to the north, and then turned it into a sprint. He imagined himself as a deer and lept through the thick dark forest with no hesitation. He ran for over 2 hours with no rest, but became startled when he saw headlights up ahead. He ducked into the bushes on the side of the old logging road and once again hid his heat signature.

As the vehicle apporached he was suprised by how loud it was, an old petrol vehicle perhaps he thought. As the vehicle passed by him he could just barely make out the occupants, he saw Evelyne! He immediatley uncloked himself and went running after the vehicle, it came to a screaching halt. Evelyne popped open the door and ran out to jump in her fathers arms. Jim was so exhausted they both fell to the ground in delight.

Bill stepped out of the vehicle, "I'm sorry to rush you, but we must leave now, it is crucial we get home before night fall."

Jim picked up Evelyne once again and spun them in a circle, and headed towards the car. "Everyone buckle up," said Bill.

Evelyne instructed Bill that they must not go back the way they came. So Bill continued on straight ahead, "I am pretty sure this will connect us with the main highway 40 miles up ahead." Eryne smiled looking out the window, while Bill drove and Jim and Eve held each other.

Bill pulled over just before they got to the main road to refill the gas tank, and then the bumpy forest road turned into a paved one and the road home appeared smooth and hopeful....

[Lost N Found]

As they approached the main road to go east to the turn off of the old road that led to the café/station Bill asked Eryne if she sensed anything that might be dangerous for them. Eryne started to say that she did not think, when Evelyne interrupted her by grabbing her arm and then gently touching her face. Both girls showed shock on their faces and Eryne told Bill to turn into a small stand of trees just before the main road. “Hurry, Eryne said with urgency that maid Bill and Jim both be very concerned.

The Jeep was just entering the stand of trees and moving through a large thicket of brush when Jim noticed a light emanating from Evelyne’s heart. The light traveled up her arm and into Erynes face. Just as the Jeep came to a stop, Bill and Jim both thought they heard the sound of a helicopter, but the light from both girls consumed them all and all was quiet.

Captain Luftwaft was flying just above the main road to the east looking at his radar GPS when he noticed a very strange signal. He asked his copilot, lieutenant flowant if she knew what that signal might be? She studied it for just a moment and said, “That looks like one of those old time gas powered vehicles, I remember in training that they showed us what they looked like. Man! I can’t believe people still use those dinosaurs. Captain Luftwaft was following the signal as they flew down the road. Something flashed up ahead and he saw it for just a moment. When he looked back at the GPS tracker it was clear and showed nothing. Lieutenant flowant said, “Did you see that?” The Captain said “Yea I saw something but it isn’t there now. He pulled the helicopter up and continued toward the east.

[Lost N Found]

As the Captain banked the chopper to the north and swung around back towards the west, the lieutenant mentioned that their search pattern must expand out at 10 mile increments. The Captain gritted his teeth but kept a calm demeanor as he nodded to the lieutenant. “It is totally unlike Captain Axe to not report in and give at least a location where he might be having some mechanical trouble or something”. The last message we received was that he was in pursuit of some hunters somewhere in this area. We were given no coordinates which in itself is very suspicious. The lieutenant shook her head and kept her eyes on the scope to hopefully find a beacon signal of the downed chopper.

The Captain was so intent on scoping the ground out and simultaneously looking at his GPS monitor that he almost missed the washed out ravine in the old logging road. He brought the chopper to a hover and looked through his binoculars at the ground, what he saw gave him pause for a few minutes. He handed the binoculars to the lieutenant and asked her what she saw. As she scoped the ground below she saw fresh vehicle tracks on the east side of the ravine and also on the west side of the ravine. “Looks like a vehicle of some sort may have crossed here but for the life of me I can’t figure how it got across that ravine without leaving some sort of sign of where it crossed”. That lieutenant is the same thought I had. We are going to land on the east side first to see what more we can find out and then we will go to the west side for verification.

The chopper landed well away from the old road so as not to disturb the tracks. Captain Luftwaft told the lieutenant to grab the forensic kit and follow him. Once they approached the site< lieutenant flowant started scanning the tracks. The Captain said, “well lookie here, looks like we have 1 adult and two children with this vehicle. I am going to cross the ravine and check that out”. You continue to gather as much evidence as possible here, I will be back shortly”. The lieutenant scanned what she could and then sat down in some shade under a nearby tree. Just as she was about to get comfortable, the Captain showed back up. She jumped up and asked if he had found anything different? He said that it all seemed very strange. The adult tracks were there along with the children’s tracks but he only found the adults tracks at the bottom of the ravine on this side however, the vehicle tracks led away towards the west on the old logging road. Lieutenant flowant told him that the tracks for the vehicle showed that they belonged to an old gas powered car and isn’t that what was on the tracker when we were on the main road earlier?

Captain Mike Luftwaft was thinking to himself that this was getting more and more strange. First Captain Axe and his chopper go missing without a signal or location and now this vehicle that is apparently an old time gas powered car with one adult and two children seems to levitate itself across a hundred foot wide, 20 foot deep ravine and continues going. He turned toward the lieutenant and said “get aboard; we are going to track this vehicle till we find it and then maybe we’ll get some answers. The lieutenant shook her head and boarded the chopper. She turned on the systems as Luftwaft spun the rotor and started to lift off. Flowant said, “I am picking up the infrared signature of the vehicle and it shows that it headed on this course for awhile then turned onto a road that heads south towards the main road. Luftwaft smiled and said, it is about 40 or 50 miles from here the way the road goes so we can cut across and shorten that distance. We may run into sooner than expected. As they flew south, the lieutenant picked up another signature that appeared to be headed north but was older than the first signature. She mentioned this to the Captain and said that this older signature continued north and then disappeared. The Captain noted this and thought that this was probably the hunters that Captain Axe was tracking before he disappeared. The disappearance of that signal could be that Axe had destroyed it. He told the lieutenant that they would follow the latest signature

Jim had so many questions to ask and reached into his pocket to comment on the machine that had so many wondrous abilities and he couldn't find it. He began to panic and realized he had left it behind in the clump of bushes where he turned off his heat signature and sat enjoying the manifested grapes. Murphy's Law had tossed its curve ball!!

[Zionbrion]

Evenlyne felt the thoughts of the personell in the chopter, she told everyone that it would be best if they ditched the vehicle and continued the rest of the way home on foot. It was only a mere 30 miles, but as the helicopter could fly as a crow it would locate them quicker then they could arrive home, and it would also create a good decoy.

Bill pulled the car over and Eve instructed him to leave it running, and she used to device to remove their DNA and fingerprints from the vehicle. They gathered themselves and headed out on foot, back to the old gas station. Evelyne knew her mother and the others would be worried at their delayed arrival, so she did her best to send the message that they would be a day or two late. Bill asked why they couldn't just use the the devices to bring them home quicker somehow. Eve explained that they military somehow had means to track the energy signature and it would lead them straight to home.

It was getting late, but there was still plenty of light so they all agreed to go and hide a short distance from the vehicle until night fall, when they should be able to traverse at least 15 of the miles home.

They watched as the helicopter approached and landed near the vehicle and soon many armored vehicles arrives on the scene. Eve and Eryne used their abilities to be sure they wouldn't be spotted, because they knew they would be looking for whomever was driving that vehicle. It appeared the military had done all it could, and loaded the vehicle onto a trailer and drove off.

As the waning sliver of a moon lingered on the horizon they started their trek home...

[Lost N Found]

As the waning sliver of a moon lingered on the horizon they started their trek home. Bill had a basic idea of which way to go but was not sure of the terrain ahead. Eve took hold of Eryne and told Bill and Jim wait a few minutes. Bill looked at Jim and started to ask Eve what she had in mind when all of sudden both girls levitated straight up and then began to move towards the North east. Jim looked on in amazement and Bill just snickered.

Bill was telling Jim that the two girls appeared to have powers that went way beyond his invention of the machines and they didn’t even have to use them anymore. Jim nodded at Bill and in his thoughts, began to understand all of the things that Evelyne did in her younger years that totally amazed him. He was musing these thoughts when the two girls dropped from the air into their mist. Evelyne pointed towards the due north direction and said…….

[Zionbrion]

"This way wil give us safe passage tonight"

[Constance]

And with that, Evelyne and Eryne grabbed Bills and Jims hands and took off into the luminous dusk sky...

[Constance]

The air felt cool and soft against their faces as they winged their way into the deep velvety night skies.

It was eerily quiet apart from the gentle winds.

They had been travelling for some time, each deep in their own thoughts, modern Peter Pans, when all at once, they saw a light shimmering in the distance.

It was unlike any other light they had ever seen before.

They felt drawn to it, moths to a flame.

Colonel Molester knew that something was wrong with the scene where the old fashion Jeep was found by the police chopper. By the time he and his men had arrived the police had totally botched the scene up with all their incompetent searching methods. He approached Captain Luftwaft and asked if he and his team had found any footprints around the vehicle or perhaps leading away from it. The Captain had said that they did not find any and that the vehicle was still running when they had landed. That is why they did not pick up any infrared heat signatures of humans, the damn vehicle’s motor still running had blocked everything else out. The Colonel shook his head and thanked the Captain. He then called over two of his officers and told them to search the perimeter for any signs of humans other than the stupid police that had trampled the immediate site. As the two officers left to do as they were told, Captain Luftwaft approached again and mentioned that there had been no DNA evidence found and it was as if there had been no humans in the vehicle.

Colonel Molester looked at the Captain with an increasing heat building up in his face and raised his voice so all around the scene could here him. “What in hell do you mean, someone had to drive this vehicle here so you had better come up with something to give me a better explanation than that”. As he was looking at the Captain with a very red face his two officers walked up and told him that they had found no extraneous foot prints within a 50 yard radius but the light was waning and the police had trampled the ground so badly they would have to come back tomorrow to do a thorough forensic investigation. The Colonel turned and told Captain Luftwaft to get his people out of here NOW, and told his men to load the vehicle on the empty trailer. He headed for his command car and told everyone to load up and they would come back tomarrow. He turned towards the Captain and said, you will patrol this area tonight and by god you had better not let anyone disturb this site until I get back here in the morning. The Captain said “yes sir” but thought to himself that this bloated, egotistical crude was just another desk jockey that had to much power.

As the military vehicles and troops left the scene, Captain Luftwaft climbed into his chopper and dug around for something to eat in the chest located on the storage rack at the back of the compartment. He was in a foul mood and thought that he could just locate these people he would annihilate them just for the fun of it. This whole thing had been such a mystery and he still had no idea of where Captain Axe and his chopper had gotten to.. He vowed to get the answers even if he disobeyed the military pukes…

[Lost N Found]

The Captain awoke suddenly and looked at the time piece, it registered 2 am. He turned towards lieutenant Flowant and shook her awake. Flowant shook herself from a deep sleep and asked, What? The Captain said turn your systems on we are going to get airborne and do a little searching of our own. Flowant said, “ aren’t we suppose to stay here and watch this site? Luftwaft growled and said, “I don’t care what that idiot colonel said I am going to find some answers right now”. Flowant shook her head and started the systems. The Captain spun the rotors and waited a few minutes before lifting off. He had decided to back track on that other old signal they had come across yesterday, so flipping the chopper around towards the North west, he told Flowant to bring that signal back up on the scope and they were going to check out where it had come from.

As they tracked back they came to a fork in the road below and swung due north and came across a stand of forest. As they flew over this the Captain brought the chopper to a hover above an old signal of the vehicle they were re-tracking. It appeared that the signal had came from the northwest before it had turned toward the due North. He moved the chopper in that direction at a slow crawl. While they were flying this direction a very faint heat signature appeared on the scope of a gunshot and as they kept on moving two more faint signatures showed up of gunshots. “Now we are getting somewhere, said Captain Luftwaft”. The chopper came up over a rise and directly in front of them was a semi-large pond or lake. Lieutenant Flowant stared at her equipment and then told the Captain that the vehicle signature had stopped just below them. There was also two faint signatures of humans, one went to the north and the other went to the south. She could not tell where they ended at the moment but mentioned to the Captain that they should set down and scout around. The Captain agreed and set the chopper down on an old road.

Climbing out of the chopper, Luftwaft immediately saw the tire tracks. He walked over to the end of them and then noticed where they had turned around. “Lieutenant, do you see any human tracks around here”. The Lieutenant said, “yes they are all around here and one set leads off in this direction while the other leads off in that direction. The Captain went back to the chopper and retrieved to powerful search lights, they already had built in infrared goggles on their helmets but he wanted to check the ground out more thoroughly. Besides, the heat signatures were to weak to use just their helmet goggles. Lieutenant, we are going to follow these foot prints to find out where they ended around this lake do you understand? Yes sir said the lieutenant. Okay I want you to follow the ones that go south around the lake, I will follow the ones that go to the North. Turn you communicator on and keep your weapon at the ready. I will contact you every 10 minutes.

Captain Luftwaft started walking towards the North, The footprints he followed showed them also coming back, this was a mystery to him at first but he realized that whoever had come this way made there way back to a vehicle. He was heading west when he came upon a peculiar indentation in the ground. It looked like the shape of a box or something. He took a picture with his helmet cam and continued to follow the footprints.

Lieutanant Flowant checked in and said that the footprints she was following entered into a large opening next to the lake and appeared to stop. She called back a few minutes later and said that she found them again moving towards the West. Luftwaft had already found the end of the lake or pond and had turned towards the South when he heard Flowant coming towards him from the south. He stopped all of a sudden and waited for her to meet up. When she did, he said be careful, I have found something that you will want to record. As the lieutenant approached she saw the remains of a RPG shell lying in the grass. The Captain was taking pictures with his helmet cam and looking out towards the lake. The lieutenant took her backpack off and pulled out a meter that could register underwater signals of machines. She walked over to the edge of the lake, bent down and stuck the meter into the water. When she pulled it back out, she turned to the Captain and her face was ashen. “There are remains of one of our choppers in there”. The Captain acknowledged and swore to himself. Lieutenant, you have this recorded? Lets get back to the chopper, I want to see this on the screen. They both headed back and within 30 minutes they were climbing into the chopper.

Lieutenant Flowant fed the info into the computer and on the monitor a picture of the chopper popped up. The entire side was blasted open and they could see two bodies still strapped into the seats, they appeared to be burnt beyond recognition but all the same it was clear that this was Captain Axe’s Chopper. Luftwaft swore again but this time he was very vocal. We must get back to the old Jeep site before the Military arrives this morning. You will say nothing of this to that egotistical piece of crap. This report will go to our commander only and we will handle what has to be done, do you understand? Flowant shook her head and said yes sir.

The old gas powered Jeep had been thoroughly searched and nothing had been found to tell them anything other than somehow this old vehicle had wound up parked where they found it with the damn motor still running. Colonel Molester was not happy with these results so going back to the site was the only hope of discovery of a mystery that just did not set right with him. This was only the second field assignment he had been on. His career had mostly consisted of desk jobs. His commissions had been due to knowing the right people and even that had been due to his wife being a relation to a general. The first field assignment, he had botched so bad that his wife had decided to move out and had told him that she needed to be away from him for some time. His house and all the other materialistic stuff he had was in jeopardy of being lost. He knew that this was his only chance to redeem himself to his wife and the command structure. He was up for promotion this year and he really needed it to survive. All these things were going through his mind when his driver told him that they were approaching the site. Damn he thought, if only those stupid police had not trampled the site. He saw the chopper and the two imbeciles standing around as they approached. When the command car came to a stop he jumped out and waited for the rest of his men to show up.

Captain Luftwaft walked over and said, “Good morning Colonel, did you have a good night of rest sir? The Colonel turned and barked orders to his men as they began to spread out and search for new evidence. I want to be informed immediately if anything is found. He then turned back to the Captain and said, “What I do in my rest is none of your concern Captain, did anything unusual happen here during the night”? The Captain said, “No sir all was quiet”. The Colonel said good, is there anything more that you may wish to tell me about this incident? Captain Luftwaft thought to himself that he would love to pop this a hole in the mouth but said no sir. The colonel then told him to gather his personnel and get back to his headquarters. Me and my men will handle this from here. The Captain turned and nodded at the Lieutenant to get aboard the chopper. As they climbed into the chopper and lit up the systems Captain Luftwaft turned the rotor over and thought about lighting up both mini-guns and blowing this rotten piece of crap into next week. Instead he lifted off and turned the chopper towards the west to get back to headquarters. His mind was racing to tell his commander about what they had found during the night.

Staff sergeant Meany and private Lock approached the Colonel and saluted him. The Colonel said, “report”. Staff Sergeant Meany said, “we found some footprints about 200 yards to the east. There was none leading up to that point and there was none leading away from that point but it appears there may have been two adults and two children’ kinda hard to tell but near as we figure that is what it looks like”. Colonel Molester said “good job men, lets wait to see what the others may find. He thought to himself well this may explain the people that drove that vehicle here but it sure is damn funny that we can’t explain how and why they disappeared. He called out for Sergeant Cruelly to come over. The Sergeant came over and the Colonel gave him orders to take 4 men and widen the search for footprints and possible capture of two adults and two children. The rest of us will be going back to the base for now. Call me immediately if you find anything additional.

[Constance]

As they drew closer, hands gripped tighter.

Like birds of a feather, they all descended in a graceful flutter to the soft ground.

A tree stood before them. But it didn't really stand. It was more like a thousand branches were sparkling and flashing.

If you could describe the light, it was as if the light of love throughout all the ages had been lit.

One by one, they dropped to their knees.

It was like being hit with an electric bolt of lightening...

But the feeling was more like being gripped by a most powerful wave of unconditional love. It vibrated outwardly with each and every heartbeat.

Such were the divine forces that emanated through and all around them .... So bathed were Evelyne, Eryne, Bill and Jim by that tremulous incandescence that shook them to their cores... It took a while to register that what appeared to be a little old man, was sitting underneath that tree.

And then a quiet voice softly spoke to them.

The voice said. "The path to peace is purity".

And with that, another wave of pure energy shook them with such a force that their heads reeled and their hearts exploded with love.

[Zionbrion]

None were exactly sure if this man from from this dimension or another. He sat there and appeared to be timeless, civilizationless--Evelyne was the first to sit right in front of him. The other joined forming a semi circle around the man. In all the joy they had felt in their life, none was quite like being in the presense of this mysterious man.

Eryne was not shy and she spoke to the man, "Where have you come from?"

A few seconds pass and the little old man opened his eyes and spoke;

"I am from a land
Between time and space
You'd never know it
But I guard the human race

Silence

Long ago
When I held form
The spirit world and yours
Were not torn

There came a foe
Who created seperation
To make each soul
Feel its isolation

The first cities were built
The first governments formed
The land of endless possibilties
Became a set in stone reality

Preoccupied the human mind became
lost in purpouse
The ego of mind swelled
And thats how Eden fell

The Path to purity is peace
The path to peace is purity

My gift to you: Now you know what is possible

Everyone sat their enjoying the poetic words of this mysterious man. When they opened their eyes the man had vanished. Evenlyne began to cry both tears of joy and sorrow. Jim put his arm around his sweet daughter and Bill around Eryne.

It was on the brink of dawn, but there was still 5 or so miles to home. Evelyne saw in her minds eye an abanded cabin a short distance away where they could rest for the day light hours. As they were able to speak again they made their plan to head to the cabin. Eve and Eryne picked wild edibles along the way to nourish everyone while they rested.
