Evelina The Omega

CHAPTER ONE Continued from Evelina The Alpha. A nude woman in a micro-bikini oiled her body before climbing the steps to an elevated platform. Two men lay down, side by side in man’s thongs, talking. “Where is Kirsty?” Asked Barnaby an old man but probably one of the richest men in the city. He had a well-shaven face with dark hair. That if it wasn’t for the white eyebrows. His looks could easily fool one to think that he was young. Hair implants and a training regime that was demanding had seen his testosterone level. Remain at the same level as when it was in his youth. Sauna and massage sessions had become so routine that he frequented this place often. That had earned him his mistress in Kirsty. She had become more than just a massage therapist or masseuse. Barnaby had insisted on the micro-bikinis tripling the money he paid and always left loads of tips for her. The arrival of Hudson the military man had seen a new setting and a change in Kirsty. Once Barnaby’s favorite, Kirsty had fallen for the hot-headed, no-nonsense man in Hudson. A young, handsome man, and strong as a horse. A man ready for action. Barnaby had misunderstood her. She was not materialistic. She was as wild and untamed as a horse too, just like Hudson. That made them click. That was what she craved. Barnaby had confused her with a money-oriented girl but having grown up in the remote plains of the Baltic region, a camping tent and a stubborn wild horse was what she was accustomed to. Honestly, the only thing she needed. Barnaby had seen a pattern emerging. Whenever he had a meeting with Hudson, Kirsty for all the excuses he had heard would not show up. That ate his heart the most, especially now that his wife was never home. The money he had and the power over Hudson. Kept him quiet from asking if Hudson had decided to eat his cake as well. No one was as good as her. Pure like a virgin and wild at heart, so passionate and caring. “Whenever I have a meeting with you. My girl does not show up. Are you eating my food as well Hudson?” Asked Barnaby after gathering his strength while choking with rage. Hudson laughed. “I think if you think about how many men, she had given a massage or more up to now. Surely, you would not even ask me that question. Above all, the fact that I am here with you when she is not here. That alone means that she might be with another person. Above all, I want to believe that what is yours is mine as well,” said Hudson, patting Barnaby. “How can it be mine if you lock it away from me?” “We can share it. It is not like she is your wife. By the way, how is Yolanda? I know it would be wrong if I was to go after Yolanda, your wife,” explained Hudson. “She is q. She recently opened a wedding gown shop. She is never home,” he said. “Oh, I see,” said Hudson. “So, what is eating you? Surely it can’t be Kirsty. I would not think that you requested this meeting just to talk about her. Did you?” Lisa instantly jumped on his back and with her oiled body rubbed herself on his back. “The bank asked me to talk to you about the loan application you made,” he said. “Correct! I am listening,” said Hudson. He sighed as she massaged him. “You know we have new management. Right?” “Of course!” “Their issues are that the amount is too high. You know that as a listed member the loan will be written off right?” Hudson raised his head first looking at the topless Lisa wriggling on Barnaby's back. “If it wasn’t for us. I mean for our forefathers. The bank could not have even existed. You are rich today because of the gold scriptures. When they said knowledge is power this is exactly what they had in mind. Having said that. I was expecting you to even double the amount. Especially now that you know I am the new leader of the cult. When I made the loan application I was just in the army; as the general. But surely things have changed since then!” explained Hudson. “Exactly! What I am saying. In the beginning, the system was fair because it benefited a lot of people. Empowering a lot of them. Mostly the poor and the orphans. Giving them a new life, you know? Surely even now the bank is still doing the same and would not hesitate to sponsor these. Money that is easily approved by the board of directors and shareholders. Nowadays this money is used to make digital weapons and digital watermarks. The ones destroying the very people it is supposed to help. These are things destroying humanity and bringing untold suffering to all. Surely no one want to be associated with these. Hence the recent objections,” said Barnaby. “But Barnaby, what we do with the money is not your bloody business. Pardon my French,” said Hudson. “On the shoulders!” Requested Barnaby to Lisa. “Yes there!” “You must understand that, years back, yes! But now with this Tomorrow’s World Order’s crackdown on digital pathogens and watermarks, the board of directors and shareholders will beg to differ. Nowadays it is viewed the same as funding terrorists. No one would want to be served with the Ultima-Talionis order by Tomorrow’s World Order,” explained Barnaby. “But we made you who you are. So, to hell with these shareholders!” “It is not just the shareholders. This Tomorrow’s World Order is going to put us out of business. Their new system will ban loans from banks. Will ban the bailing-out of banks. In fact, it will stop banks from operating as they intend to establish the Global Reserve Bank,” said Barnaby briefly looking at Hudson. “Damn it! You know for a fact you still owe us! Your forefathers understood that without the gold scriptures where would you be? We made you rich. Teaching you everything from scratch. Now you talk to me about ethics? I can understand if you don’t want to do business with me because of this Kirsty. Surely the bank can assign someone else. Surely don’t tell me this is about Kirsty?” He looked at him. “Okay. I am humping her. All-day and all night. In actual fact, she is at my hotel flat as we speak!” Barnaby’s heart tore apart as he felt betrayed as well as being cheated upon. “You have Lisa. After all. All women are the same. You still have Yolanda on top of that. I think it will be a mistake to break such a good relationship over a woman, a massage mistress for that matter. Please tell me it is not about a bloody hooker?” Said Hudson now upset. “Of course not. The board of directors and the shareholders are now saying that they might have paid the full value of the gold scriptures. Looking at the written-off loans over the centuries they reckon that even the gold scriptures now belonged to the bank!” Hudson laughed in disbelief. “You don’t get it! Do you? You and your bloody directors don’t know that the gold scriptures are not for sale? They are the oldest of any written scriptures. Older than the bible. Older than this world. They existed even before this world was created. That means its value is the value of all this world. Saying that you have paid as the value of this world is therefore nonsense. Honestly, I would not want to take a different path than the one we have for now. The cult would do very bad things to anyone who even threatens to take the gold scriptures from us. The very reason this cult still exists today,” said Hudson now shaking with rage. Barnaby instantly pushed Lisa off and sent her away. He sat down. “That sounds like a threat,” said Barnaby. “I just took the words out of your mouth. You are suggesting that the gold scriptures now belong to the bank. That my friend is a threat to us in itself. If this Kirsty is so important to you then you can have her back. Surely the cult’s rules won’t allow such stupid immature thinking. You must understand that banks come and go. So as money. It comes and goes. People come and go too. The women also come and go but I tell you this. That even a million years from now the cult and the gold scriptures will still be here and I swear not in your hands or the bank’s but still with the cult. That means now, as the leader. I will do anything to make sure that the gold scriptures stay with the cult. Even if that means sacrificing all of you and all your children, your cats, and dogs as well. Do you understand?” He pointed at his chest and simulated slicing him open. “It is that serious right?” “Don’t get me wrong. Nothing personal. The cult is still here today because it takes people like you seriously. If I call for help today, then you are all finished. Don’t even think you are secure. My men can open all of you. One by one until you are all dead. Even worse if it’s me. I can perform an autopsy on all of you. Considering that I am a doctor as well nevertheless a military one. So again, what did you say about the loan?” Asked Hudson, twitching with rage. “I. I. I think. I have to check with the board of directors,” he murmured. Instantly Hudson made a phone call. “You can have your Kirsty back,” he said, handing him his phone as someone answered. “Kirsty Darling it is me, Barnaby. I miss you so much. I thought what we had was for real?” A familiar voice interrupted him. “Barnaby Darling? Who is Kirsty? It is Yolanda!” “You son of a b***h! What are you playing at?” Roared Barnaby folding a fist. Hudson quickly grabbed his throat and squeezed. “You, worthless piss of s**t! I am not all these bastards you threaten and get rid of! You mess up with me. I will ruin not just your life but of everyone you care about. I will bring hell to you. You are going to process the loan now three times the amount I requested by tomorrow!” He roared letting go of him. “If I wanted. I would argue that all the money you have belongs to the cult. Simply because without the information you took in the gold scriptures. You will not have made all this money!” He pushed him away. He kneeled and touched his throat breathing hard. “One other thing! If you touch my Kirsty. Surely I am going to perform an autopsy on your fat body!” He instantly walked away but he stopped and looked at him. “Get rid of that Lisa! She overheard everything!” Barnaby looked shocked and scared. “Where is my Kirsty? Tell me you didn’t kill her?” “Leaving loose ends wherever you go! You fool. I am not the last leader you used to bully. I mean business. All that money. You made it. Only because of the gold scriptures. So technically it belongs to us. If I have my way you will all be finished by tomorrow. You better process that loan fast!” Miles away. “Make sure you don’t double, or even worse, treble the digital keys. One key for every twelve recipients,” she read aloud. Mark got up and paced. “Now I understand your fears. It’s like you have signed your death certificate,” he said. “Very high stakes. The risks are unbelievably high. It’s a matter of life and death. I can’t just think of a way. One can pull this out without paying a heavy price. The guys we are after have in the past been getting $billions from these digital weapons. Serious money to do anything to defend that. High risks. And I bet I would do whatever it takes to continue destroying everyone else. David sounded like it was either us but more likely them. As it stands the odds are against us. Big time,” she said. She frowned with anger. “Damn it! You can’t walk away now,” shouted Mark as Carolina slammed the door on her way out. Mark ran after her and held her shoulder. “I am just saying. That if you pull it off. You have massive rewards. Think about it,” he said. “It’s suicidal. And how did you know about the rewards? I never mentioned it to you!” “Sorry I read your diary,” replied Mark. “Mark. It’s a bloody diary of a person. Who goes through someone else’s diary?” “Don’t give that! Damn it! Caro. It’s my life too, on the line. If you don’t even know what is coming and the diary is your only source. Then I have to read it too!” Protested Mark. “I apologize. Maybe you are right. I am scared, you know. How do we deal with code five and six? You read it; we can’t split the keys?” “Give me that diary again?” “Failure to save even one recipient after eliminating all the assassins means a system shutdown is impossible. Unfortunately, the loss is irreplaceable. There is a great danger of death. As that system will keep triggering the sending of assassins. To eliminate all recipients of digital currency. People who will have collected evidence of the existence of these digital weapons. Once eliminated the system shuts down and reboots and that stops triggering the alarms. Complete protection of all your recipients means that the wave is closed and can be deactivated to stop the further sending of assassins!” “You can’t be serious. Are you saying that if one or more dies, that system remains open? It is f****d up. The odds of achieving this are just impossible,” said Mark. She got up and started crying. “What the hell did I get myself into?” Mark for the first time saw a fragile woman. It was just unbelievable to see the other side of her. This caused great pains of fear and anxiety in him. “My boyfriend tried to talk me out of this. But then again, you know me being me. Stubborn and taking stupid challenges. The odds are stacked against us!” She sobbed profusely. “You know what is worse? We must protect all twelve as a failure on one level will only mean they send even more lethal bloody piranha-like-hungry-assassins thirsty for blood,” she told him. Mark felt like his heart tore apart. The pounding was so strong that he felt his chest moving back and forth. He looked at Carolina and saw fear written all over her face. “Are you serious?” “This is what we are up against. One recipient dies. That system remains open, meaning twelve deadly assassins to be sent until that system is closed?” Mark breathed fast and thought fast. “Okay, how do we close that phase then?” “At the end of all phases?” Mark cursed that it didn’t sound good. How many are the phases?” Carolina sobbed for a while. “Twelve or more. David never said anything about this. I only found this information from a video he left for Evelina,” she said upset. “I don’t get it. He assigns you this task but doesn’t give you any info. Then give it to someone else? Who is Evelina?” “Damn it. You know. This is what I am saying. You withhold info, but I told you we are in this together. That look tells me you are hiding something,” said Mark.
