she smiles.
    “I only wish I had that kind of time.”
    “I’ll tell you everything, but be forewarned, you may not believe half of it.”
    “I’ve believed some fairly strange stuff in twenty seven years of life. You really think you got something I haven’t dealt with before?” He raises his glass. “Although, you must be serious, I mean, to get into my room like that,” he takes another long tug almost emptying the glass.
    She grows quiet then looks him in the eye. “I an agent employed by the United States government.” She shows him her identification. “I know why you’ve come to America.”
    “Oh, you do?”
    “Yes, in fact I’ve been waiting for you. I’m surprised it took so long.”
    “You seem to know quite a bit about me.”
    She smiles coldly. “Maybe.”
    “While I always enjoying having a drink with an attractive lady you’ll understand if I don’t jump for joy. In fact you frighten me. What do you really know and why.”
    “So many questions!” She says.
    “Go ahead,” he says with a blank expression.
    “A few days ago a young woman went to the police claiming to have been held against her will, by as she puts it ‘a nut wagon religious group.’ Anyway, they want to pay her a large sum of money to be artificially impregnated. In fact, apparently the leadership of this group believes that she is actually carrying now but the process was faked by the scientist who she claims they killed. She also believes the scientist was helped by someone within the group a member who has turned against them but she doesn’t know his identity. Since they believe her to be carrying they were holding her against her will. If she speaks to anyone about it they’ve promised to kill her, which at the moment is a big problem for her since she has escaped from them.”
    “So? There are all kinds of religious nuts out there. That can’t be anything new to American intelligence,” he says.
    “Of course we’ve seen all types but there’s something a little more disturbing about this one.”
    “Really?”
    “We believe they are a firmly established and elaborate operation. We’re not sure of their ultimate intentions but we don’t want to find out the hard way.”
    “I imagine not,” he says picking up his drink.
    “Our insiders tell us that The Church itself is very much aware of them and is possibly working to destroy them. We want to know why.”
    “And you think I can tell you this?”
    “I’m sure you can tell us a great deal,” she says.
    “And why should I?” He tilts back his head and the glass of beer.
    “You’re on American soil now. I can have you locked up on a farm in West Virginia in twenty minutes, a high price to pay for a simple set of answers.”
    “Yes, a high price.”
    “I know you’re a representative of The Church and you’ve come to America to make contact with a scientist, one crucial to the group’s agenda somehow.”
    “You do understand my superiors don’t tell me everything. I am mostly a pawn maybe slightly higher but a pawn mostly.”
    “But you know more than we do and that’s why we’re here. I can’t let you go until you fill me in on a few things,” she says.
    “Sounds like you already know a good deal. That I work for The Church, an agent if you will. It’s true that I’m here to contact a scientist who we believe is unknowingly working for the group.
    “Unknowingly?”
    “Yes, that is why I’m here, to expose the group to him and convince him to work for the church.”
    “In destroying them?”
    “Well, basically yes that is the desire of the church,” he says.
    “What do you know of the young woman that has come to us seeking help?”
    “I’m not aware of her but it wouldn’t surprise me. The Elite has been known to go pretty far to obtain their objectives.”
    “I must admit that our research is weak concerning their history although we do know that they are an old group spanning back generations.”
    “Oh yes they go back
