The Prince of Whales

Chapter nineteen

We have enough proofs

At exactly 5.30 Boris, Joan, Sam, Detective Bermann, Shea, Matthew and the other Thalmulic guys arrived at the Island airport and occupied their rooms. They refreshed and refilled themselves and started their official businesses. Detective Bermann's new resort boulevard office is well equipped with all the modern communicative devices, intercom connections and highly professional e-staff. He can contact anyone in the Islands or mainland within no time. He is gathering proofs from all sources to arrest all the mafia guys. The Island satellite province is at his e-service round the clock.

The only goal for the staff to reach within three days is to gather all proofs and solid evidences to book the first batch of the bad guys. He checked with all his detective friends in the Islands and mainland. He exchanged the needful information with them. But he personally checked Mr. Dukhobors' dealings and his movements.

The US private detectives association has voluntarily taken up this fresh challenge to book all the mafia networks after the nine eleven incident. Detective Bermann is just doing his part.

They got their inspirations and green signals directly from the US Marine Corps to go ahead with all their amphibious operations. Detective Bermann got his training for land, sea and aerial combat and trained most of the private detectives along these lines.

He contacted Boris and Shea through the intercom and said, 'we must clear the cavities'. Boris said, 'the drama is not over yet. Let Dr. Cree and Mr. Stelepeg first prepare special rooms for Dr. Chad, Captain Roger Felix and the other cave guests. Then they can clear the cavities. Put on your costumes and let's go and meet the girls first'.

The make up session began. Boris is the Kuwait Sheikh Mr. Jihad Zorrilla. Shea is the Moor from Northwest Africa Mr. Berber Alhambra and Detective Bermann is the Canadian Sikh Mr. Rajah Malay Singha with his black stallion.

Matthew, Sam and Joan are still the translators. The good ninja guys are the special security guards. All the Thalmulic folks are the financial secretaries. They all met at the new dinning hall. A special message has been sent to the girls.

They returned from their brief resort tour knowing the arrival of the great Sheikh. Eliza saw the Sheikh and said, 'is this the Island you bought for me? Now tell me where is Boris. I cannot wait to see him'.

The Sheikh greeted all the girls and said, 'yes Mem! This is the Island I have bought for you. I have invited my friend and your husband Boris and your beloved son Shea for the wedding of my grand children. You will see them on the third day'. He introduced Joan as his grand daughter Nurzahan the bride and Sam as his grandson Zahangir the groom.

Eliza blessed Joan and said, 'may HaShem bless you like Sarah, Rivca, Leah and Rachel'. Then she blessed Sam and said, 'may HaShem bless you like Ephraim and Manasseh'.

As she blessed both of them Feggy and Lillian burst into tears for Sam and Joan. The Sheikh quickly realized that he had forgotten to tell them about Sam, Joan and Matthew.

He immediately said, 'Mem! I forgot to tell you that your husband Boris is coming with your grandson Sam and your grand daughter Joan for the wedding. And I forgot to tell you that your grandson Sam is recovered and he is able to speak'. Cathy asked the Sheikh in tears, 'Sir! Did Sam say any thing about Matthew?'

Boris said, 'you mean the computer teacher Matthew? I forgot to tell you. He invited me for his wedding here on this very Island. He is going to marry my brother's granddaughter Aikaterinc. This is their wedding card'. The Sheikh gave her the wedding card. Cathy took the card but she did not know how to react. She was extremely happy to know that Matthew is alive. On the other hand she is hurt to realize that Matthew had cheated her. She left the card there and ran to her room to cry. She did not look at her picture and Matthew's picture on the wedding card.

Eliza looked at the card and blessed the groom and the bride. The girls looked at the card and saw that Cathy is the bride. They looked for Cathy the bride but she is not around.

Matthew went to Cathy's room and said, 'mem! The great Sheikh wanted you to come for the special breakfast. He wanted to introduce you to his friends. They are waiting in the dinning hall. They wanted to see you'. Cathy said, 'go away. I don't want to see anybody. Why should I see them?' Matthew said, 'but his relatives wanted to see the bride'. He then left her alone and returned to the dinning hall. Cathy wanted to say to him that she is not the bride. But she looked at the wedding card again. She realized that she is the bride. She came out and ran towards the dinning hall. Boris saw her and introduced her as the bride to all the guests. They appreciated the Sheikh for introducing Cathy as his brother's granddaughter.

Cathy said to herself, 'how dare you creep to marry me without asking my permission? She forgot that she typed a message to Matthew at Sam's bookroom saying that she will wait for him and she will marry him.

Eliza sat next to Boris the Kuwait Sheikh Mr. Jihad Zorrilla. Feggy sat next to Shea the Moor from Northwest Africa Mr. Berber Alhambra and Cathy sat next to Matthew the translator Mr. Kimchi. Lillian sat next to Rajah Malay Singha. Bermann noticed that Lillian is very shallow and not enjoying the talk very much. He called Michael and handed over the cell phone to Lillian. Michael is in sound sleep. But Dr. Moshe told, 'Lillian! Your husband is sleeping. I don't want to disturb him. He was telling all good things about you. We will be there in one hour'. Lillian felt very happy.

The aristocratic breakfast session has been inaugurated with the good old ritualistic introductions and traditional exchanges of the senses of humor in the new dinning hall.

Feggy is thinking about Shea and Sam and she is not able to laugh. Shea quoted Edgar Watson's proverb and said, 'if you don't laugh at trouble you don't have any thing to laugh at when you become old'. After breakfast Boris said, 'listen everybody. We have some special cavemen arriving from the underwater cavity. Let's go and receive them'. They all proceeded towards the Westside area.

Joan and Mr. Stelepeg showed the underwater cavities to Sheikh on the monitor screen. The Sheikh has pointed to a spot. Stelepeg gave instructions to his workers. They started the rig and bore a hole.

Stelepeg signaled the crane guy. The crane's movable projecting arm went down and picked up all the cavity men. Dr. Chad and the scientists saw the light and screamed with joy. Captain Roger Felix and his crewmembers got into the lift and came out. They smelled like the devil's coach horses. Detective Bermann received all the cave guests and showed them a big hall.

It looked like a big gas chamber. But it's only a big open bathroom where the snorkelers can wash themselves again. The cavemen washed themselves. The Island resort security guards gave them special clothing and took them into custody and led them to special rooms.

Dr. Chad and Captain Roger Felix tried to explain that they were scientists and researchers. But the Island resort security guard asked them for personal identities and never understood the other pleas. These Thalmulic guards don't speak any language other than Thalmulic.

They supplied breakfast to the cavemen. They gave special number codes to all the cavemen. Dr. Chad pleaded for his lucky number 13. But they gave him number seven, which he always feared and hated. They gave Captain Roger Felix number six.

The guards told the cavemen that they would come to the door and call the numbers and deliver them the breakfast, lunch and dinner at scheduled times. The cavemen felt that they had enjoyed more freedom in the underwater cavity than in these special rooms in spite of the guaranteed 3-time meals per day.

Sometimes the human beings prefer freedom to the food. The Thalmulic guards noted this point as they looked at the cavemen as subjects for their historic 'freewill yes but freedom no' study program among the life patterns. The aim of this special program is to study the criminals and their nature in different angles in different circumstances.

The workers have sent the crane's arm to clear the rocks in the other cavity. Joan hooked the communication device when they removed the big rocks from the other cavity. The whale was set free and slowly crawled into the lake.

Joan continued to send encouraging messages to the whale. They made another hole in the wall of the cavity. The seawater flowed into the lake giving enough water to the whale to swim. The whale easily swam back into the ocean from the lake.

Boris observed every thing in the monitor screen and said goodbye to his whale friend. Joan asked the whale to go to the whale cave and invite the whale family to the Island. The whale seemed to understand the concept of wedding to certain extent.

The whale byebyed Joan and Boris and dived into the deep ocean and proceeded towards the whale cave promising to bring the family of the Prince of Whales to the Island area. The workers then covered the cavities with metal plates and connected the sewage pipelines to the cavities. Mr. Stelepeg completed the last item in his contract and came to the Sheikh for payment.

The Sheikh appreciated Mr. Stelepeg for his personal service. Mr. Stelepeg had managed to bring some 10000 tons of material to the Island and fixed all the rooms, suites, homes, halls, International Island Reserve Bank house, security offices, Detective Bermann's office, children's park, children's swimming pool, big screen auditoriums, helipads, runways, dockyards, airplane parking facilities, seaplane parking facilities, satellite stations, watchtowers on all sides of the resort, dinning halls, conference halls big and small, gymnasium, mini zoo park, open air movie screens, motor vehicles, trucks, mini buses, hanging cars, criminology study facility center with all amenities, library and the super specialty health center within twelve hours.

The Sheikh appreciated him again and said, 'you must go to the Guinness Book record for this job'. He also asked him to stay in the resort suite and attend the wedding. Mr. Stelepeg felt very honored.

He smiled and agreed to stay for the wedding. The Sheikh looked at him and asked him to see Rajah Malay Singha for the payment. Detective Bermann came to know that the name of the owner of the mobile home delivery company is in Ibtos member list. He has transferred his secret Swiss bank amount to the Sheikh's accounts.

Detective Bermann told Stelepeg, 'look Mr. Stelepeg. We will give you the check in your name. We have a slight problem with your owner. We will deal with him directly if he has any problem with this check. We know you are a nice guy and you don't want to accept the check in your name. But as far as our policy is concerned we will give you the check in your name. You take it now and let us know if you have a problem with your boss. Or else you can wait here until the problem is cleared with your boss. Its up to you decide'.

Mr. Stelepeg innocently looked at the check. It's a billion dollar check in his name with the 15% tip included. He quickly took the check into his trembling hands and said with a quivery voice, 'thank you for the tip. I hope my boss will accept this check without any problem. I don't see any problem except that I don't have an international e-account and I don't know how to operate it'.

Detective Bermann said, 'you can open an international e-account in the Island Reserve Bank here if you want to. I will call the Bank manager Mr. Jamboree if you want to'.

Mr. Stelepeg immediately nodded and went to the Island Reserve Bank and immediately opened an international e-account in his name and deposited the check in his personal account. The Bank manager Mr. Jamboree gave him a special device and said, 'welcome to the Island Reserve Bank international e-account services. Now you can avail this facility from anywhere on the globe. Just hook this thing to any telephone and punch your code and follow the directions. That's all'. Stelepeg tried to give some amount and send all his company workers back to the company. But they said, 'the Sheikh wanted us to attend the wedding'. Stelepeg said, 'let us stay and enjoy for these two more days in the new world and attend the heavenly wedding'.

He quickly went to Mr. Remus the manager of the Island resort and booked the special suite for him and special rooms for his workers in the resort for two days to begin with.

Remus welcomed Stelepeg and his crew and personally showed him his revolving suite. It's the first of its kind in the history of resort hotels. He also gave special rooms for his team members. The bellhops brought their personal belongings and the wedding gifts from the Sheikh.

Mr. Stelepeg has been serving as the general manager of the company for seven years. His boss never told him that he was getting such huge tips from the customers on his behalf. He muttered in his heart, 'all bosses cheat'. Stelepeg began to play with his calculator explaining his team members how much did the company owe to them.

At 8 am the US naval air-ambulance landed on the Island helipad with Michael, Dr. Moshe and his assistants. The Island resort super specialty health center doctors and the staff members are waiting to receive Dr. Moshe and Michael. They already prepared his room and the operation theatre for Michael.

The aircrew rushed him to the health center. Detective Bermann came with his staff and personally recorded Michael's statements and his side story. According to him Rodrigo was their limousine driver.

Fifteen years ago on one occasion Michael was taking his nephew Sam to the Spring Valley in Monsey. The brakes failed and he fell in the valley. Some one somehow took him to the hospital. He was under prolonged coma since then. Dr. Moshe was visiting his relatives at Monsey at that time. He somehow came to know about this special case of coma combined with a persistently dogged priapism. He took him to San Francisco to his private hospital with all legal papers and permits. Dr. Moshe received no claims from anyone for Michael since then.

Rodrigo has managed to convince Lillian that Michael was dead without leaving his body. There are no personal identity cards, driver licenses, photo ID, Bankcards or any thing with Michael. Dr. Moshe treated him for all these fifteen years. He has been taking very good care of Michael. He gave him a new name and began to call him as Dicky all these fifteen years. After fifteen years' sleep Dicky woke up and told that his name is Michael.

Sam was a little boy at that time and he became speechless since then. The by passers brought Sam to the nearby police station and Sam wrote the address on a piece of paper and the police brought him home in Hawaii. Detective Bermann recorded all the versions and then allowed Lillian to see Michael.

Lillian came into his special bedroom and saw Michael with hysterical excitement. They began to kiss each other. Dr. Moshe prophetically asked all the visitors and the staff to leave them alone. He closed the doors. As a laywoman Lillian has no idea about the pathological problem of her husband. But as his beloved wife she figured out what to do as a hungry wolf. She began to actively make dinosaurian wild love to him.

At the same hour the outside observers and the medical personnel began to feel a slight earthquake on the Island. But Mr. Stelepeg assuredly told everyone that all the heavy metal plated wooden structures on the Island were not only typhoon proofed but also quakeproofed.

All the pathognomonic problems connected to his condition seemed to obey to the immunity systems of Michael's body. Lillian coolly opened the door and invited everybody into the room again. Dr. Moshe came into the room and noticed the change in Michael's body. The observers and the medical staff members are eagerly waiting outside the room. Dr. Moshe rechecked the change in Michael's body and gave a loud Archimedean cry and said 'I knew it'.

He noted down the latest developments in the last pages of his thesis, which he started fifteen years ago. He opened the doors and asked Michael to get up and go out and see everybody.

Lillian and Michael victoriously came out from the room in their robes and waved at everybody like the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus the Son of God with his wife. The Sheikh requested Dr. Moshe, his staff members and the ambulance personnel to stay there for two days and to attend the wedding.

Mr. Remus the manager of the Island resort showed them both double and single rooms according to their kooky hooky nooky requirements.

The Island security personnel guarded the Island and the resort round the clock. They can watch the whole Island from their office monitor screens and from the watchtowers. If any unidentified thing approaches the Island either by sea, air or land they can find it and stop it right away.

They have separate security staff quarters to live with their families. The resort staff has their separate quarters. Boris rehired all these staff members. Detective Bermann's staff has separate quarters and offices. They are patiently waiting to record the conversations between Dukhobors and Nick. The Island resort can accommodate some 1000 resorters and vacationers along with their families at a time providing all the needed amenities.

The word about the Sheikh's Island resort somehow reached the filmmakers in the Kiritimati Island. One new guy came with his writers, production controllers and directors of all departments to buy the story from the Sheikh. The Island security men stopped the filmmaker's helicopter until every thing is cleared. No one is allowed to come to the Island with weapons of destruction.

The security personnel scanned the whole helicopter. When the filmmaker Akirosawa agreed to all security conditions he got permission to land. The security men received the filmmaker Akirosawa and his crew with due respect and checked every thing. The filmmaker Akirosawa and his crew should leave all the camera equipment, PCs, cell phones and all the other restricted items in the helicopter. They can carry the money cards and identity cards. According to the Sheikh's personal invitation on arrival the filmmaker Akirosawa and his crew agreed to stay in the resort and attend the wedding. Remus showed them their special rooms. They got excited to see all the specialties in the Island resort. They said to themselves, 'this place is perfect for the story treatment, screenplay writing, budgeting and all the other paperwork'.

Matthew gave the conditions pro forma to the filmmaker Akirosawa. The filmmaker Akirosawa read all the conditions to buy the story as following:

There should be no night scenes, underwater scenes, camera shivering, too much talking, scene dragging, visual violence, open sex scenes, birthday suits, terror or horror scenes, flip-flop scenes or bloody killings.

The audience may get all those feelings in their minds without directly seeing those scenes. Like the famous drama of Mahanaim the scenes must bring peace and repentance in the hearts of the bad guys. This film must be basically targeted for the children and the adolescent youth. But all the mass and class should be allowed to enjoy.

One per cent of the approximate B class budget, which is about $200 million, in this case should be paid as advance at the time of initial agreements.

After the preview show to the area buyers nine percent of the anticipated income should be paid. After the release the remaining ten per cent of the total income should be paid.

We are talking about 20% of the total income. If the income exceeds the guaranteed target, which is $ one billion in this case all the exceeding income goes to the Island thirteen charity account.

All this will be used to establish the confederation of the State of Eretz Ephraim for all the diaspora communities as a sister nation to Israel for the sake of the world peace.

The international distributing area should be divided into one thousand zones and the film should be made only one thousand copies and be sold for $ one million each copy.

 

The filmmaker Akirosawa quickly read and agreed to the conditions to buy the story and said, 'I may be a religio-commercial filmmaker. But I do believe that one should first carry on his duty sincerely without dreaming for utopian profits. I always liked the seaman's life. A seaman is always my hero. His life is full of adventure, thrill and drama unmatched by any other career. I know it's not an easy task for him to monitor the waters. So many times he has to encounter death at close quarters. The seagulls faithfully indicate that he is approaching some land. People are terrified of the sea but there is nothing scary about it. Single mindedness is always a supreme quality of a true seaman. I do agree to open my account and deposit the entire film budget here in the International Island Reserve Bank. And I am prepared to buy the story'.

Matthew introduced the filmmaker Akirosawa to the International Island Reserve Bank manager Mr. Jamboree. The amount has been transferred from his Swiss Bank account to his new account in the International Island Reserve Bank.

Matthew then introduced the filmmaker Akirosawa to Sheikh's finance department to complete all the legal paperwork to buy the story. The paper work is completed and the filmmaker Akirosawa and his companions began to check out the locations for their future B class feature film.

Slowly but surely all the wedding guests, banquet caterers, special cooks, symphony orchestra bands, singers, private media guys of Jacobsons Foundation, chief guests, officials from various government and private departments, friends, workers, relatives, board of trustee members, chairman, undercover cops, high-ranked brasses, seamen, fishermen, whalers, scientists, good ninjas, celebrities and Senators began to show up one by one with their families and children.

Joan has already hooked her talking device to the underwater machine and continued her taped message inviting all the whales. The regional whale communities furthered the message to the other whale communities. And the whales began to come towards the Island.

The diaspora communities got the wedding invitation and they came to the Island. Island thirteen was filled with colorful boats, seaplanes, helicopters and airplanes of different models.

Mr. Remus the manager of the Island resort quickly promoted the bellhops as receptionists and promoted himself as the general manager. Tomorrow he is going to promote himself as the Chief General manager of the Island resort or as the Managing Director.

Island thirteen is getting ready to receive all the young and old folks of all nationalities from all Islands and mainland. Boris has rededicated his resurrected social life to promote his latest idea of world peace through the confederation of the State of Eretz Ephraim for all the diaspora communities. Boris lived on the Island for twenty years. When he came back into the modern society he was terribly impaled and shocked to know about all the wars, suicide bombers, poverty, hunger, sicknesses, mafia gangbangs, drug trafficking, terrorism, lawlessness, illiteracy, racism, anti-Semitism, color-caste cancer and mobocratic hegemony. To err might be human but to take life just like that seemed quite diabolic to his humane understanding.

He pacifically thought that the confederation of the State of Eretz Ephraim for the diaspora communities is the only way for achieving world peace starting with the Middle East.

He wanted to introduce his new idea to all the diaspora communities and all the nations in a quiet and peaceful way without politicizing the issue. He started the lone fight against all those odds and gave an open call to the intelligentsia. The world peace possibly starts when we work for the Middle East peace. The Middle East peace starts when we establish the confederation of the State of Eretz Ephraim. This is what Boris believed.

 

Chapter twenty

What's going on?

Mr. Dukhobors possessed every thing to live long in his narcissistic politics as the proverb said: a hide of rhino, memory of an elephant, persistence of a female beaver, friendliness of hybrid mongrel pup, heart of a Barbary lioness, stomach of a three-toed ostrich and the devout stubbornness of an army mule.

He thought that his stars are very favorable to make him the luckiest zillionaire this year. In him his public service and his private politics went hand in hand. He coherently sees no dividing line between reason and revelation.

He synthetically gives place to every school of thought. He tolerantly recognizes sects rejecting sectarianism. He is temporarily all-powerful to legally sell the deluge-affected Pacific Islands in his own style. He does not deal with the IRS but only with the IMF. The concerned state officials received him at the Hawaii international airport and posh housed him in the state guesthouse near the hula-hula beach. He came to Hawaii to take care of his unfinished official auction business.

He has to collect the remaining amounts from the successful bidders tomorrow. He has spent all evening enjoying the Hawaiian luau feast and the hula dance. He then rendezvoused the call girls and the kneaders. They are his surreptitious news hawks. He had furtively gathered all news all night from them.

He learned that the landladies of Jacobsons Foundation had been kidnapped. The police suspected the great Sheikh that he should know about the kidnap. But the police cleared him right away. The police then doubted Rodrigo but they cleared him after the check. Then the only family member the most honest Rodrigo Mexicali had become the legal heir and the sole owner of Jacobsons Empire just like that. The Jacobsons Foundation board of trustees has been dissolved. All the managers of their companies, estates, industrial plants, colonies and factories have been dismissed. New employees have been appointed.

All the previous public and private contracts have been cleared and cancelled. All resources, funds and bank accounts have been transferred to Rodrigo Mexicali the uncrowned monarch of the Jacobsons Empire within a couple of hours. The official name of the Jacobsons Foundation has been legally changed to MexSp Foundation.

In spite of all these legitimate and sudden changes Rodrigo the Just has outright refused to accept the ownership of MexSp Foundation and said to his lawyers and solicitors, 'first things must be first. I have to wait until Feggy, Eliza and Lillian are found. I must continue to search for Shea and Sam and the other missing persons. I request the police officers to please take the assistance of the Interpol and uprise the search. Let me be a watchdog and serve Jacobsons. I personally went to the Kiritimati Island to see whether the girls are with the Sheikh. But they are not with him. Until I return the chairman of the Jacobsons Foundation board of trustees will be looking after all these things as before'.

Rodrigo is in the Kiritimati Island personally searching for the girls. The kidnap is still an unsolved mystery for the police. He is such a nice and lucky guy. God blessed Rodrigo for his honest service to Jacobsons Foundation.

The call girls summarized the news, rumors and gossips of the Hawaiian Island. Mr. Dukhobors said, 'really a saintly guy'.

The call girls continued, 'the Kuwait Sheikh has bought the Island for Eliza Jacobson the landlady of the Jacobsons Foundation. He is the dearest friend of the late husband of Eliza Jacobsons. The Sheikh is even nicer to spend that kind of money in memory of his dead friend. He has invited one and all for his grand kids' wedding on the island tomorrow. After the wedding the great Sheikh will hand over the Island to Rodrigo the only legal heir since Eliza Jacobson was kidnapped and wouldn't be around. So far no terrorist organization had claimed responsibility for the kidnap'.

These are the main news of the Hawaiian call girls' chitchat newscast. The headlines once again: first of all the Sheikh did not know about Mrs. Eliza Jacobsons kidnap. Second of all Mr. Sheikh may or may not change his mind to transfer the Island to Rodrigo tomorrow. Last but not least of all, the saintly Rodrigo may not accept the transfer of the Island to him at all.

Mr. Dukhobors is slightly shocked to know that Mrs. Eliza Jacobson is the widow of her late husband Mr. Boris Jacobson and not the American wife of the Sheikh. He immediately got up, took his cell phone and went into the bathroom and dialed Nick and said, 'hi Nicky! It's me. The Sheikh did not know about the kidnap of the girls. And we may have a slight problem with the transfer of the Island tomorrow. We need to meet here tonight. You can go to the Island tomorrow afternoon from here for the Island transfer. You guys start immediately. We need to talk'.

Nicky said, 'it's all our fault Dukh! We should have mentioned to Rodrigo that the Sheikh had registered the Island in Eliza's name. But we didn't know then. The kidnap is really a mystery. I am getting a bad feeling about the transfer of the Island tomorrow. But the Sheikh is a very nice guy. I trust him. Anyway we are on our way. We will decide it tonight'. Mr. Dukhobors said, 'say hi to the uncrowned monarch of the MexSp Foundation. I can't wait to see you guys. Take shuttle airliner. See you soon. Bye'. Rodrigo, Willy and Nick booked the fastest airliner. Suddenly the phone rang from nowhere. Nick picked up the receiver. Mr. Sheikh from the other side said, 'Mr. Nicky! This is the Sheikh. I read the news about the kidnap of the girls. I am calling you to tell you that there will be no problem whatsoever tomorrow to transfer the Island to your Ibtos. See you all tomorrow at the wedding. Bye'.

Nick appreciated the Sheikh in his heart for his timely information and the wedding invitation. He shared the good news to Dukh from the shuttle and said, 'the Island transfer problem is secured. The sheikh agreed to do it even without Eliza Jacobson. We are on the way. See you. Bye'.

Rodrigo teased Willy and said, 'my wife is kidnapped and your wife is Mars-napped with her ex. You and I were born on the thirteenth. You and I have lost our jobs and regained in a different way. I am the watchdog of MexSp Foundation and you are the watchdog of Ibtos Foundation. Your real mother's name and my real mother's name start with b and ends with h. But your last name Mitropoulou ends with u and mine Mexicali ends with i. Therefore I am luckier than you in all respects'.

Rodrigo laughed with Nick. Willy ignored Rodrigo and homiletically said to the airhostess, 'why did you choose this job?' She turned towards Willy and said, 'are you talking to me? What's your question again? Okay, it's a long story. My ex challenged me that nobody would marry me because of my machismo. I took it as a challenge and got this job. I met my husband in the air. Isn't it some thing bro!'

Willy pedantically looked at her and sycophantishly said, 'so you are married. It's good that you are married. But it's not good for you to wear man's dress and work like this. You must take care of your kids and the house'. She laughed and said, 'you sound like my les-husband. She likes me to stay home. But I like this job. Nobody can tell me what to do even my picky les-husband'.

Willy gushingly excused himself and quickly raced to the bathroom to perform his ritual washing. He has to wash his face and hands thrice every time he happens to face a woman in man's attire and fails to convince her with his homily that it is wrong for a woman to wear men's clothes and work like a man and vice versa. He does the same thing if he happens to see a man doing woman's job.

His counselor prescribed this naturopathic ritual for his obsessive-compulsive neurosis. While he was doing his ritual he heard the pilot announcing about the seat belts and transfiguratively returned to his seat. They heard that they are approaching Hawaiian airport. Nick, Rodrigo and Willy the geekiest triad of the decade mentally prepared themselves to meet their anointed bigheaded underhanded godling Mr. Dukhobors who is psychopathically enjoying his heavenly hallucinogenic bliss.

The plane landed and the airport taxicab dropped them at the state guesthouse. The security personnel walked them in. Mr. Dukhobors received them with a cool aloha and a nude feministic hug. The call girls were gone already.

Mr. Dukhobors introduced Mr. Zuloaga the Hawaiian chief of police to Nick, Rodrigo and Willy. Mr. Zuloaga announced the good news to Rodrigo and Willy that they were cleared and the complaints were withdrawn.

Rodrigo blew up into laughter like a suicide bomber and said to Willy, 'that means your wife is not dead. She must be with her ex. Right!' Willy thanked the chief and said, 'I did not mean to kill her. I miss her but I don't want to be with her. I think I lovehated her'. The guesthouse attendants served hot drinks to everybody. Mr. Dukhobors settled down on the sofa and said, 'the bad news first and the good news later is always better for us. You guys don't need to see the Sheikh for the Island transfer tomorrow. Every thing will be done through his attorney here. Island thirteen will be ours in few hours. The UN has granted the self-governing status to all these thirteen Islands under the nominal US supervisory commissioner'.

Mr. Zuloaga interrupted and said, 'The Federal government has directly appointed Mr. Dukh as the commissioner'. Nick, Rodrigo and Willy congratulated Dukh. But they wanted to ask him how Mr. Zuloaga the chief of police suddenly came into the scene. They are not certain whether he is in or out. Mr. Dukh noticed that they are in a dilemma about the police chief and said, 'guys! Mr. Zuloaga is with us. He is the new member of Ibtos. You don't need to doubt him. He is our man in top brass. Tomorrow he is coming with us to the Ibtos. I will take care of the auction business by 10 am tomorrow and we will proceed to Ibtos. You guys get some sleep. Remember! Don't tell any of your friends about our Ibtos visit'.

Nick, Rodrigo and Willy understood that their road is clear and the their lucky stars are favorable to them. They made a toast for the health and longevity of the new member Mr. Zuloaga the police chief and for the successful life of Mr. Dukh the new commissioner of the deluge-affected Islands.

They were already the members of Ibtos. But they never visited Ibtos. Every thing was done through the Internet. The computers have been taking care of all their e-business transactions. They are excited about visiting the Ibtos.

They began to mentally prepare themselves for the rare occasion they have been looking for all these years. Nick is a senior member of Ibtos. Even he was never invited to visit Ibtos. He once expressed his willingness to go there but it turned out to be a death wish for him. Nobody is allowed so far to see Ibtos. Nobody knows whence and how it is operated.

The members can only contact through the website of Ibtos. On the surface it's an asylum for the mentally retorted with no public attraction and situated right in the middle of Hawaiian Island.

Mr. Dukh received the surprise message from Ibtos to pay a visit along with Nick, Zuloaga, Rodrigo and Willy. They must be ready by noon and wait at Waikiki beach resort near Chinaman's seal hat observing point for further instructions. That's all He knows for now. They talked and talked about Ibtos and its death cap mushroom operations all night. They were filled with an outrageously intoxicated excitement without knowing that they got the death warrant to go into a death trap. They are like the stupefied childish kids who decided to play kittenish hide-and-seek games under the attractive shades of the carnivorous thicket.

They didn't know that the steersmen and the master cyberpunk hackers Matthew and Sam were recording all their conversations from Island thirteen at that very hour.

This is the luckiest hour for Detective Bermann to get such elaborated and freshly revealed information about Ibtos and its highly safeguarded secret bootlegging buccaneer activities.

The red cool sun is sniffing like the bloodhound and rushing towards Hawaiian Islands to bring this well organized crime Empire to its full exposure. The Hawaiian state guesthouse kitchen attendants prepared every thing and rang the first bell for breakfast. In twenty minutes everybody is present in the dinning room.

Willy has spent the whole night trying to come to a decision whether to call his wife now or later. Rodrigo has suggested, 'it would be better to call your resurrected black widow only after visiting Ibtos'.

Willy did not like the mind readers at all. He yelled at Rodrigo and said, 'nobody asked your suggestion. I am not thinking about my wife at all. I am only debating whether it is good or bad to call someone after midnight'.

They finished the breakfast and rushed to finish their business at the auction hall. At 10 am the attorney Mr. Bartholdi came to the auction hall. He paid the balance amount to Mr. Dukh and got all the official registration papers from him. And he looked around and introduced himself to Zuloaga the Honolulu chief of police in mufti. He shook Zuloaga's hand and hugged him hard and transferred the bug into his hand saying, 'hello Mr. Rodrigo! I am Bartholdi the attorney. The Sheikh has sent these property transfer papers to you'.

Zuloaga politely corrected him and introduced Rodrigo to the attorney. Bartholdi shyly smiled and said, 'I am sorry. I looked at your berserker personality and thought that you must be the boss'. Zuloaga naively smiled and said, 'I am really flattered. I am still the Honolulu chief of police. I am on vacation. This is my man you are looking for'.

Rodrigo quickly opened the envelope and countersigned all the papers and thanked the attorney and the Sheikh for the transfer of Island thirteen to Ibtos. Bartholdi took the signatures of Nick and Willy as witnessing members of Ibtos. Nick, Rodrigo and Willy v-signaled Mr. Dukh. The attorney left with all the signatures and the papers. Dukh handed over all the balance amounts and copies of the registration papers of all the deluge-affected Islands to the concerned state officials and left the podium. Zuloaga and the state government officials showed the new office of the commissioner to Dukh. Zuloaga introduced Dukh to the new office personnel. Dukh invited Zuloaga into his new office. They sat there and waited for Nick, Rodrigo and Willy.

Rodrigo took Nick and Willy to show his MexSp Foundation office. He introduced the new chairman of the MexSp Foundation board of trustees to Nick and Willy and appreciated for all his sincere voluntary services. He encouraged him to continue to investigate the kidnapped girls case and gave him all the necessary instructions.

He introduced Willy to the chairman and said, 'this is Willy the new finance officer of the MexSp Foundation. He is the best person to handle the finances. He thinks thrice before taking any step in dealing with the finances. I trust him'. Willy is shocked and surprised for this sudden introduction. He began to think and tried to say some thing but Rodrigo told the limou driver, 'take us to the Waikiki beach resort. We must see the new commissioner at his office which is opposite to the resort'.

The driver nodded and started the limousine. Nick congratulated Willy for his new job. They came to the new commissioner's office. Rodrigo asked the driver to leave.

Nick, Rodrigo and Willy walked into Dukh's new office with big applause. Dukh introduced all his new staff members to Nick, Rodrigo and Willy.

Zuloaga looked at his watch and said, 'we must make a move'. They came to elevator and to the terrace and saw a small autogiro coming towards them.

The pilot landed the autogiro and took them in. The gyrator took them around the Chinaman's seal hat area. The pilot looked at his countdown watch and said in Nippon English, 'you can fasten your seat belts or if you are strong enough to hold the seat hands tight enough you can take off your seat belts'.

Three of them unhooked their seat belts and relaxed while the other two tightened their seat belts. The pilot gyrated the aircraft around the seal rock and levered the latch and suddenly ejected their double-seater chairs down over the seal rock.

They dreadfully looked down and saw the seals all over the seal rock. They could not see any thing but the elephant seals. They thought that they were going to fall on the rock among those elephant seals. They were terribly shocked and began to scream like the howler monkeys and the sea lions.

There were already flying upside down in the water. Like the carabao, white-lipped babirusa and tailless capybara the other three began to swim downwards very fast to escape the notice of the seals.

They seemed like the three supermen pushing the seats down. The seals looked at them going down and began to chase them. The underwater submarine has opened its mouth and quickly sucked them in.

The submarine crewmembers took them in and the chief submariner said, 'sorry! We are three seconds late to receive you in. But don't you worry that you became wet. We will put in a drier. I mean in sauna'.

They were sucked further downwards in the submarine elementary canal and had their sauna bath. They became fresh again and the crewmembers received them into the belly. They introduced themselves and greeted them in their ninja style. They began to taste the special kind of Ibtos style of operation. The chief submariner asked them, 'are you ready?'

This time they all fastened their seat belts. The submarine torpedoed like an underwater rocket and took them towards the Diamond Head the extinct volcanic crater of the Island of Oahu.

The Ibtos security men opened the underwater elevator and received the submarine and brought it to the sea floor basement. The ninja guys received and checked the guests in the ninja style and walked them to the main waiting hall.

They were wonder stricken and looked around the central waiting hall of the gigantic six-petaled white lotus hexagonal building. Dr. Bran Ramses Ritz personally came in the tramcar to receive the distinguished guests. He dressed like a spaceman and said, 'welcome to Ibtos and welcome aboard'. They got into the tramcar. Dr. Bran took them to the reception lab and signaled the staff to clean them. The staff walked the gusts into the lab and took their blood samples and gave them a vapor spray shower and brought them back. The ninja girls garlanded them with the bleeding hearts and a greeted them with aloha.

Dr. Bran took off his spaceman dress and began to show them the first five Ibtos projects in those six petals. He brought them to the sixth one. They felt that they already knew him. They tried to remember.

Zuloaga finally recalled that he briefly saw Dr. Bran in the famous Hawaiian Redlamb madhouse in central Honolulu. At that time he was introduced as the visiting professor and the internationally known Behavior Therapist of the Boston Redlamb Hospital. He did not reveal this to the others but kept in his heart. He thought that Bran and the Doctor might be twins. Dr. Bran finally introduced himself as the chief of the Ibtos cloning project and showed them his lab in his underwater hexagon the sixth petal building. The scientists are already working on their blood samples. Dr. Bran showed the guests how the latest cloning project works.

As soon as he finished his lecture the scientists brought five live Clones that looked exactly like themselves. They thought that they were affected by double vision. Dr. Bran introduced those five submissive Clones to the five skeptic Originals.

The Clones are programmed and fully equipped with the needed information of the Originals. Dr. Bran thought that the girls were kidnapped. So he did not give any information to the Clones about the girls. He also thought that Boris was dead. So he did not give any information to the Clones about Boris. He also thought that Willy and Wilma were separated. So he did not give any information to the Clones about Wilma. He gave them other needful information to go and take over the Island thirteen.

Dr. Bran said to the Originals, 'this is my behavior therapy. These very Clones of you will behave as better individuals than you in every sense. They will go out into the world and efficiently handle and accomplish all the assignments while you stay with us and relax here. They can know every thing that you can know. They are the better copies of yours. They are going to live your lives in the world in a better way while you live the rest of your lives here trying to learn and understand yourselves. This is my 'Socratic know thyself project' to bring peace into my Ibtos world. I hope you will understand what I meant and what I have achieved in the field of live sciences. I am the victorious Alamgir like the Mogul emperor Aurangzeb. Those who obey me live in the clonal lives forever. Those who disobey me will die here like mice. I have power to kill you and resurrect you'. Dr. Bran finished his self-anointed homily. The Originals looked at their Clones and were petrified and stood like the Egyptian mummies. Dr. Bran thanked the guests for the transfer of Island thirteen and the other twelve islets to Ibtos.

He finally said, 'after all your obedient behavior is thousand times better than all the gold you wanted to possess for yourselves from Island thirteen. Don't think that I am trying to preach you a sermon under this Diamond Head crater. We need Island thirteen and the other islets not only for gold but also for other evolutionary projects. Those who learn from me will do more miracles than these. Our new project is to make the humans as Milton's angels. You will have some additional powers. You will be suffused with some divine glory. You can contract or expand your size and you can change your gender at will'. The berserker ninja guys praised Dr. Bran for his intelligence and garrulous speech. The ninja guys finally came and began to lead the Originals to their special glass room cells in a most ritualistic manner. Dr. Bran conducted the black mass. The ninja devotees made loud noises saying to the Originals, 'you are worthy to be praised for you are giving your lives to the Clones. You will live forever and in them'.

The ninja guys then slightly pierced and peeled the Originals and licked their fresh blood and ate the tiny pieces of flesh. They further shouted and declared, 'this is the original blood shed for you and the original body died for you. You will live in them and they in you'.

Then they brought five naked ninja sexpots and sirens and asked the Originals to make love to them saying, 'these are the holy Echidnas. They will bring forth your Holy Clones'. The berserker ninja guys and ninja gals chanted the blasphemous hymns during the ritual communion ceremony.

Rodrigo fiercely shouted like a giant white drongo. Nick began his dithyramb in a high pitch and began to call for his wine god to send strong cognac.

Willy got enough enlightenment to rely on reason and experience rather than on dogma and traditional ritual and publicly declared, 'it is better for me to peacefully separate from my wife ex-wife. But if I see her with any other man I will kill her. I still love her even though I hate her and separated from her'.

Dukh became pensive like a monk-crane and strongly decided to wait for the opportunity. Zuloaga began to cry like a penitent sinner and begged his clone to act as the informer. Dr. Bran said to the Clones, 'this is your first assignment. You must go and see what is going on Island thirteen. Take all the assistance needed and possess Island thirteen and all the other islets. Take out the pictures of gold ore and prepare the project report. And come back'.

The Clones and berserkers humbly received the instructions and prepared to leave for Island thirteen. After the black mass the Clones finally said to the exhausted Originals, 'thank you for giving your lives for us. We will live your lives for you in this first assignment. We will put on you and live in you as you live in us. We are one. The world will also think that we are one. We will never let you down. Whether you live or die in these glass rooms please be assured that you will live in us forever. We will see you soon'.

The berserker ninjas began to close the cells with soundproof glasses and the Originals began to scream with the ventriloquial voices. They cursed Dr. Bran and said to him, 'you notorious blue beard! Megalomaniac! You think that you would rule the world as god-king of the Islands. One day your head will be severed and buried like the legendary god-king Bran's head. But some King Arthur the leader of the knights will definitely come and rescue us from your black birding Redlamb black hole project. You vicious diamondback and the son of the ectopic pregnancy! Some Frankenstein's monster will eternally clone you and eat you forever. You son of the toothless Echidna monster! You have brought forth the buccaneers and berserker ninja guys. You have made them believe that a new paradise will be heralded by the miraculous arrival of a supernatural cargo of goods brought by gods. And you have kidnapped and killed our wives. You have kidnapped us now. You have decided to kidnap all the heads of the nations. You have invented this Ibtos, which is nothing but a black hole to imprison and kill all the Originals. But one day you will taste your own medicine. This is our curse'.

Dr. Bran coolly smiled and said, 'goodbye forever my dear one time friends and partners! Learn the art of transmigration of your parthenogenetic lives and relive your clonal lives forever and ever towards perfection'.

The Clones and the berserkers came into the outer world to live their programmed assignment. They were excited to see the real world. They called the Sheikh and thanked him for every thing. The Sheikh invited them for his grand kids' wedding. The Clones and the berserkers prepared every thing to attend the wedding and to prepare the project report soon after the wedding.

The jet aircraft preceded with those five dumb Clones and other twenty-berserker ninja guys and gals towards Island thirteen. The Clones were excited to take their first ride in the air. Dr. Bran did not realize that Boris had invited hundreds of people to the Island.

Chapter twenty one

We are your soul mates

Detective Bermann watched the screen and listened to all the conversations for the third time. He confirmed that Ibtos supremacist Dr. Bran the masochist has imprisoned Rodrigo, Nick, Willy, Dukh and Zuloaga in the Diamond Head crater near the Waikiki Beach. Matthew and Sam locked the area in the computer screen and pinpointed the spot.

Detective Bermann asked his cybernetic staff to continuously watch the movements of those five bugged prisoners. It seemed that the prisoners are screaming, cursing and yelling at the imprisoners from whom there was no response. That means the prisoners are in the soundproof glass rooms. The movements of the prisoners are very brief. The location is quite certainly under the Diamond Head crater near the Waikiki Beach. Bermann called his detective friends and explained the new situation. The detectives' association from the mainland got the nod from the navy sea lion commando force to prosecute the operation. They have alerted the regional Hawaiian naval sea lion commando forces and gave them the plan of operation.

Every thing is confidentially planned and prepared. The navy sea lion commandos are ready to strike Dr. Bran's Ibtos underwater Crime Empire near the Diamond Head crater any time. They are waiting for Bermann's final word. They have posted themselves near the Waikiki Beach with full alert.

They employed the skilled dowsers to estimate the depth and flow of underground streams and activities. They are fully equipped to go ahead. Bermann said, 'the bugged prisoners are still in the glass room cells. But the Sheikh received the phone call from Rodrigo thanking him for the transfer of the Islands to Ibtos. The Sheikh invited them to attend the wedding and take over the Island. They said they are on the way. It seems Dr. Bran is sending the dupes or Clones to Island thirteen to attend the wedding'.

He continued and said, 'Boris is suspecting that they must be the Clones of Rodrigo, Willy, Nick, Dukh and Zuloaga. In any case we have to wait for the dupes or Clones and the berserkers. It may take further half hour for them to arrive here. When they arrive we will see who the hell they are and let you know'.

Boris recalled the name of Bran. Boris had a classmate whose name was Bran. Bran always hated Boris for his intelligence. He envied Boris when the British Academy gave the astounding Fellowship Award to Boris for his outstanding studies in the field of Bionics. Boris moved to Hawaii and won the Hawaiian Cup in the single canoe race. Boris won many awards in science. Bran became a behavior therapist in Boston. Bran married and divorced many women many times.

Some say that he became a masochist and had sadistically killed his wives. He used to visit Hawaiian medical colleges and madhouses as a visiting professor and the behavior therapist.

He was invited to participate in the Mohole project as a special member. The project was unsuccessful and it was closed for several technical reasons.

Afterwards he illegally enslaved some Africans and blackbirded some Polynesians and made inhuman experiments on them. He introduced the cargo cult among them and conducted the black mass for them. He turned the slaves as buccaneers, berserkers and ninjas and began bootlegging with their help to make money for his inhuman experiments and monstrous projects. He used Nick and Rodrigo to kill Boris and Michael. He hedonistically started kidnapping the rich people and replaced them with his submissive robotic Clones.

He had placed many such robotic Clones in San Francisco and in Hawaii. They have been quietly working for him. They did all sorts of humanoid works for him and gave him money for all his cloning projects.

He had gradually hypnotized himself and became a self-anointed hedonistic Heimdall. He had built the underwater lotus building Ibtos as the Bifrost Bridge between his Asgard and the Midgard. He had installed the humanoid Clones even in the government circles.

Boris gave the possibly reasonable gist about Dr. Bran's Ibtos operations and warned Detective Bermann to act accordingly. He gave a suggestion and said, 'it seems that Bran is sending his Clones and professional berserkers to attend the wedding and then prepare the project report. In the mean time we have to finish the drama and the weddings. We must receive those Clones and the berserkers and confuse them with our simple tests to see whether they are Clones or the Originals'.

Detective Bermann gave the necessary instructions to his staff, to the security men and to the good ninja guys. The professional wedding party beauticians began to prepare the groom and the bride for the historic wedding. They also prepared Cathy as bride.

All the guests are waiting for the other groom Mr. Matthew the famous cybernetician of the decade. Cathy impatiently looked at the Sheikh with a question mark face. The Sheikh signaled her to be patient. Detective Bermann looked at his watch and gave a signal to the Sheikh. The Sheikh came to the dais and said to the guests, 'dear friends! I have a confession and a proposal to make to the girls before all of you. Boris, Shea and Matthew are not alive. They were dead. I lied to the girls because I wanted them to forget the tragedy for a while and feel happy'.

Eliza, Feggy and Cathy were shocked to hear the tragic news. All the wedding guests tried to console the girls.

The Sheikh continued and said, 'now I have a suggestion and a decent proposal for the girls. If it is okay to everybody, I am willing to marry Eliza. My friend Mr. Alhambra expressed his willingness to marry Feggy. And my translator Mr. Kimchi is also ready to marry Cathy'.

The Hawaiian maids dressed like the Naiads and Nereids have quickly brought the wedding rings and wreaths. Eliza sat next to Boris the Kuwait Sheikh Mr. Jihad Zorrilla. Feggy sat next to Shea the Moor from Northwest Africa Mr. Berber Alhambra and Cathy sat next to Matthew the translator Mr. Kimchi.

The girls coolly looked at them, slowly stood up and began to slap them for such indecent proposal. The costumes, wigs and make-up covers fell apart. All the guests were puzzled to see the Sheikh's unfolding drama.

The girls slowly and surely recognized their partners and quickly agreed to marry them. Like Shakespearian Merchant of Venice post court scene drama every thing slowly became clear to the wedding guests. The big girls were twice excited to remarry their lost and found partners. Joan and Sam are still in the dress of Nurzahan and Zahangir.

Detective Bermann came to the podium and introduced Sam and Joan. Lillian and Michael rushed to the podium. Joan hugged her father Michael. Feggy is happy to see her son Sam alive. Eliza and Boris blessed their grand kids.

Bermann looked at his watch and said, 'listen everybody! Our distinguished guests have arrived just now. As soon as they occupy their seats the wedding ceremonies will begin'.

The jet aircraft landed on the Island. The Clones and the berserkers came and occupied their seats. They started looking for the Sheikh. They never saw Boris before. They utterly failed to recognize Boris.

Detective Bermann surprisingly brought Wilma to the dais. She gave her gift to the newly wedded couples and sat next to the Clones. They did not know any thing about Wilma at all. She talked with Willy-Clone but he did not recognize her.

Boris also talked with Rodrigo-Clone but he did not recognize Boris. Lillian and Michael came and talk to Rodrigo-Clone. But he did not recognize them either. The Clones are dumb creatures. They know what they know. Dr. Bran told them nothing about Boris, Wilma, Michael and Lillian.

Therefore they did not register any thing about them. The wedding ceremony began with the traditional Jewish songs and melodies. The Eretz Ephraim Rabbi has conducted the two weddings in an orthodoxly sweet and simpler way. Every one appreciated the Rabbi.

The Clones and the berserker ninja guys and the ninja girls thought that after this, the wedding of the grand kids of the Sheikh would commence.

They were programmed to attend the wedding of the grand kid's of the Sheikh only. They don't have the common sense to ask anyone whether this was the Sheikh's grand kids' wedding or not. However the main ceremony is over. The newly wedded couples went to the deck and greeted the whale family. The whales greeted them and said, 'their grandpa the Prince of whales invited the newly wedded couples to the Diamond Head'.

The guests began to give the wedding gifts to the newly wedded couples. The Clones and the berserkers did not know whether they should give the wedding gifts or to wait.

After the guests gave their gifts the wedding party began with a kosher buffet dinner. The Clones are still looking for the Sheikh. They were programmed to call Dr. Bran only after accomplishing the assignment and not before that. They were programmed not to use their mind at all. They can concentrate only on the programmed things and nothing else.

Boris told them, 'friends! There is time for every thing. This is the time for the wedding feast. Enjoy the dinner'. The Clones and the berserkers were in dilemma but they involuntarily began to enjoy the wedding delicacies and drinks. As they drank the forbidden hot drinks they slowly forgot to look for the Sheikh. The wedding banquet has so many attractions like eating, meeting, dating, mating, singing and dancing.

The Clones and the berserker ninja guys and ninja gals drank and ate too much. They were supposed to drink and eat only at certain times and certain drinks and foods. They were supposed to contact the head office only from the jet aircraft after the wedding of the grand kids' of the Sheikh.

Their bodies were conditioned to do certain predestined and preprogrammed things. If the course of action is changed they don't know how to return from there.

They were cloned and developed with no common sense at all. They began to like the hot drinks and slowly became intoxicated and fell asleep. Detective Bermann then explained every thing to the Island security men about the special functions and the cadres of the Clones and the berserkers. The Island security men brought all of them to the special rooms on the Westside of the Island.

There they were detained in the special rooms along with Dr. Chad, Captain roger Felix and others. Those special rooms have special features to help the detainees to stay there comfortably. Each person has separate room.

They can see and talk with each other but they cannot leave their room and go to the other room. They have intercom connections in the room. If they need any thing the security men will bring it immediately.

Those special rooms are known as living rooms with folding door. When someone gets the thought in his mind to escape and tries to open the door and succeeds the iron walls quickly form into another tiny room around the inmate, which automatically blocks and locks the intruder or the escaper.

The inmate who tries to escape will thus end up in an uncomfortably folded room. He has to call the security men to be able to get back to the room's original condition.

Dr. Chad and his scientists tried to escape and ended up in the most unexpectedly choking positions. The inmates had learned that those special rooms could act on their own according to the inmate's mental conditions.

If the inmate decides to stay in the room, the room gives him or her all sorts of comforts. The inmates do not feel that they were imprisoned if they obey the security requirements. If they become rebellious then the room recognizes them and act accordingly. Dr. Chad wanted to talk to the newly arrived guests. He could look at them from his room and recognized Rodrigo and Willy. He did not know that they are the Clones and not the Originals. He said, 'the wedding of the Sheikh's grand kids is over. I hope they will let us go free'.

When the Clones and berserkers heard that the wedding of the Sheikh's grand kids was over they suddenly came to the senses. The lady chief of the berserker ninjas suddenly remembered that she should call the head quarters. She tried and opened the door of her special room. The room suddenly contracted and locked her and choked her.

Dr. Chad watched the scene and explained to her about the special room system. She looked at him like a she wolf and gnashed her teeth. Dr. Chad imitated her.

She is programmed to treat the imitator as her enemy. She closed her eyes and hypnotized herself. She became like Hecate the ruler of the underworld and said, 'I am the fertility goddess'. Dr. Chad laughed and said, 'oh yeh! Then let me see how you can make me fertile'. She tried again and became Hel the daughter of giant Loki.

The other berserker ninjas looked at her and began the black mass. The Island security personnel tightened the security measures and informed Detective Bermann about the black mass. Bermann and Boris asked the good ninjas about the black mass and its effects.

The good ninja told them, 'the berserker ninja girl will soon become a she wolf. She will easily get out of the room. She will go to the jet aircraft and call the head quarters'.

Boris said to the security men, 'let her out. Let her call the boss'. Bermann signaled the security men to open the door for her. The security men activated her room door. She noticed that the door is open. She signaled the berserkers to conclude the mass. She looked at Dr. Chad like the howler monkey and said, 'next time you imitate me I will eat you alive'.

She ran to the jet aircraft. She called the boss and said, 'Dr. Bran! This is Berserker Lady Ninja Leader Operation One. Here every thing is fine. The wedding is over. We are taking rest. Tomorrow we will start the survey. We will prepare the survey report and return to the base by tomorrow evening at six'. Dr. Bran said, 'listen number One! Kill all the Clones tonight and report. Repeat!'

The ninja girl repeated and said, 'berserker lady ninja leader operation one will kill all the Clones tonight and report'. Dr. Bran said, 'you are the marabou. You will eat the Clones. Repeat!' The ninja girl repeated and said, 'I am marabou. I will eat all the Clones tonight and report'. The echolalia conversation ended there. The Island security personnel reported the matter to Bermann. Matthew echolocated and pinpointed Dr. Bran's exact location. Bermann immediately called the navy sea lion commandos and gave them the exact topographical details of Ibtos.

He told them to surround the area and arrest Dr. Bran and all the bad guys. The navy sea lion commandos received the message and alerted all their units to surround the Diamond Head crater.

The good ninja guys introduced themselves to the berserker ninja girl and said, 'Marabou! Your assignment is over. You are a good white stork. You will treat the Clones as your own children. Repeat!' The ninja girl repeated and said, 'I am a good white stork. I will not kill the Clones. I will love them as my own children and report'.

The ninja girl went back to her room and began to treat the Clones as her new born babies. She sang the serenade to lull the Clones. As programmed the berserkers joined her and sang all the cradlesongs they knew. They praised the ninja girl as Gaea and the Clones as her first five titanic tellurian children. She compared those five Clones to the five human senses.

She began the homily and said to the Clones, 'my beloved hominid babies! I am Gaea your mother. I have seven senses. I gave my five senses to you alone. I will give you more when you wake up tomorrow. You are my own'.

She looked at the Clones. They are in sound sleep. The ninja girl slowly closed her eyes and slept. All the berserker ninjas slept as little kids.

Detective Bermann called the navy sea lion commando lieutenant commander Mr. Boer and asked him the latest developments. He directly hooked the live operation to Bermann's computer. The navy sea lion commandos surrounded the Diamond Head crater and found their way down to the Ibtos underwater lotus building.

Dr. Bran was shocked to see the navy sea lion commandos and smelled the danger right away. He quickly escaped through his secret door leaving all the berserker ninjas, staff members, Clone scientist workers, prisoners and his own Clone without any instructions.

The navy sea lion commandos took all the good and the bad guys into their custody. The navy sea lion commando lieutenant Boer called Bermann and said, 'that's it. You can now come and prove your case'.

Detective Bermann said, 'thanks lieutenant Boer. You keep them under your custody in the old palace of King Kamehameha the Great. I am on my way'. Boris said to Bermann, 'it looks like your friends got Dr. Clone-Bran and missed the real Dr. Bran. You go and see whether he is a Clone-Bran or the Original-Bran. We will catch you later'.

The honeymooners and all the wedding guests expressed their willingness and said, 'we will stay in the Island resort for some more days'.

They all wished Detective Bermann and his staff good luck. Detective Bermann gave all necessary instructions to the security men. They took Dr. Chad, Captain Roger Felix, the scientists, the crewmembers, Clones and the berserker ninjas into custody and brought them to old palace prison camp in Hawaii.

The UN guards checked every thing and admitted all the prisoners in the prison camp. They only allow Detective Bermann and nobody else. Every one must come through him for the purpose of identifying their clients.

Chapter twenty two

But I am a Matriot

The UN special guard forces are taking very good care of all the unidentified prisoners. The prisoners belonged to different independent UN trust territories of Pacific Islands. Until the authorities sort out the identities of all the prisoners they will stay under the UN special guard control at the old palace lawn of King Kamehameha the Great.

The palace lawn is temporarily prepared for the purpose with minimum facilities for the prisoners. The UN Special Forces and the old English mastiffs are guarding the prisoners round the clock.

The different government officials, the police from all the Pacific Islands and the international media men are anxiously waiting for Detective Bermann and lieutenant Boer out side the regional UN office building near Mauna Loa in Honolulu. Detective Bermann and lieutenant Boer are submitting all the evidences and the needed papers to the UN officials in their regional office.

A special UN representative team from New York came to Hawaii for this purpose. They are carefully checking all the papers, audio-video tapes, psychedelic and narcotic drug samples, other documentations and the latest information of cloning dynamics from Bermann and Boer.

The UN representatives received every thing and gave their nod. They introduced Bermann and Boer to the UN special guard in charge. He gave them all green signal permission to be the middlemen between the prisoners and the public claimants. The UN chief representative said to Bermann and Boer, 'this prison camp is in the UN custody now. I have appointed both of you as the public relation officers to this prison camp. Nobody can visit this camp except through you. Take the local police assistance if and when needed. Do not leak the story to the news agencies until further instructions'. Bermann gave them all assurance and they left for New York.

Bermann and Boer took deep breath and prepared themselves to meet the different governmental and police authorities of the Pacific Islands. The details of the prisoners' location were classified.

Bermann and Boer gave reasonable answers to all the other rational questions. All the different self-government officials and the police personnel of the trust territories of the Pacific Islands have brought the detailed identities of their citizens.

Detective Bermann and Boer checked the credentials of the claimants. They further arrested the litigant claimants and issued special permit cards to the genuine ones to visit the prisoners. The genuine claimants rushed to the location and began to identify their citizens. But they technically failed to satisfy the UN guard officials in facing the prisoner's genetic code tests and in other identity details. There are Originals and Clones in the prisoners. The claimants' descriptions are suited to the Originals and the Clones as well.

The prisoners have fake identity cards and social security numbers. Som of the prisoners said, 'we have paid money to Miss. Carlotta in Baltimore and got those genuine identity cards and social security numbers'.

The Civil Liberties Unions of the UN trust territories of Pacific Islands also claimed that some of the prisoners were legal green card holders and genuine US citizens by all definitions. But the claimants could not genuinely identify their clients in spite of all legal documentations. There are about sixty Originals and sixty-one Clones in the prison camp. The UN special guards have run all the additional tests and prepared individual files of all the Originals and the Clones.

Detective Bermann and lieutenant Boer took the assistance of the local police department and further arrested the other bad guys related to the prisoners in one way or other.

The media men are dying to see Bermann and Boer. They assured the media men and said, 'you can wait for another week until we figure out a way to identify the genuine ones. Or you have choice. You can arrange an international press conference at the most secured place in the town at your own risk and responsibility. And we will try our level best and present one Original and one Clone just to introduce the new problem in the identifying process. Moreover this is the matter of huge money and high risks and security as well. Make up your minds and let me know'. The media men agreed to bear the expenses and responsibilities of security and rushed to make advance arrangements for the international press conference at Pearl Harbor Dome the most secured meeting place.

Detective Bermann and lieutenant Boer took a deep breath again and started their further activity. They ceased all the bank accounts and assets of all the convicted criminals including the MexSp Foundation new board of trustee new members and the new chairman.

While the judicatory process is in its snail-paced acceleration Detective Bermann and lieutenant Boer started serious thinking about Dr. Bran's identity. They questioned Dr. Bran-Clone several times but failed to get the answers. Dr. Bran-Clone was programmed to give all confusing answers to the questions. He was programmed to answer the questions by irrational questions in a pseudo-Socratic bigot method. All the available identity details and descriptions including the genetic code history scientifically suited Dr. Bran-Clone. Bermann and Boer thought that he is the Dr. Bran the original.

Bermann and Boer finally called Boris and explained every thing about the prisoners and especially about Dr. Bran-Clone and his confusing answers.

Boris is particularly sharing his resurrected life with all the Island resorters. He is giving instructions to the filmmaker's team. He is wholeheartedly enjoying his third honeymoon with Eliza on Island thirteen as he promised her twenty years ago.

They maintained the custom of celebrating the honeymoon once in every twenty years. Boris is in his sixties but existentially looks like a forty-year youth. He said to Bermann and Boer, 'it seems to me that Dr. Bran's stream of consciousness is flowing in all the Ibtos body members. But the fullness of Bran's mind is made flesh in his Clone. You have to ask him about Dr. Bran's Norns: the three females past, present and future who had shaped his life. I think I have a plan. We must take the matter of my resurrection to the Hawaiian newspapers first. Then we must arrange a press meet and give the other shocking news to see the reactions. Anyway we will see you before noon. Bye'.

Bermann said to Boris, 'in that case we have to personally see all the Hawaiian newsagents when you come. We will wait for you at the Famous Thai Restaurant and we can decide what to do about this dilemma. See you soon'.

Bermann and Boer went to the prison camp and started the questioning session with new vigor. They asked Dr. Bran-Clone all the details about his birth, childhood, education, boy friends, girl friends, parents, love affairs, marriage, children and nature of his job, his scientific achievements and all the past incidents of his life.

Dr. Bran-Clone started telling his story like a digital audiotape with the following details.

You human beings are always amazing. You are time bound and interested in keeping your monocle history. But I acknowledge the dilatational space-time continuum process and yet have no time consciousness at all.

Before the evolution of the conscious world my father and I are one. I am in my father and he is in me. Therefore I said I am from the beginning of the world.

The entire outside world is only in my mind. I am incompatible and irrefutable. I am solipsistic and idealistic. I am the everlasting pistil of the united Ibtos carpels.

I am the great legendary King Bran. I am the omnificent Creator Brahma Fowl. I am Semiramis the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent mother of all life.

I am the gynandrous Hermaphrodite the holy gay-divine. I became flesh in order to save the flesh from thanatophobia. I am all in all and I live in all. What else you want to know about me? I am the alpha and omega of life.

Like the floating water in the river I keep on dying and living at the same time. You think you see me now but you don't'.

 

Bermann helplessly looked at Boer and said to Dr. Bran-Clone, 'who is your father and where is he now and how to contact him? Can you take us to him? We immediately need him to treat a mental patient. You are the only one to help us. You can call your father now'.

Dr. Bran-Clone continued his theosophical homily and said, 'my father is always with me. I told you that he lives in me. You are looking at him right now. He lives in me and works through me. But I must take the patient's blood sample to Ibtos. There I can clone him or her right away. Then the patient can continue his life in the clone. If a single original dies it can live on in the infinite clone children forever. Without any further delay let's take his blood samples to Ibtos before the original dies. When the original's blood sample cries out to my father, he will surely give it an abundant life. And it can't die any more. We have seen it with our own eyes. We have been seeing the father giving lives to thousands every day'.

Boer asked Dr. Bran-Clone, 'did you do this recently? How many Clones are there altogether? Where are they now? Can you take us to them?'

Dr. Bran-Clone said, 'only my father knows about certain things. No one in Ibtos not even me knows such classified details except my father'. Bermann asked him, 'do you guys believe in lycanthropy? Can you become a wolf now? Did your father become a wolf and leave you without giving you any further instructions? If you cooperate with us we will help you to get out of these charges'.

Dr. Bran-Clone sharply stared at them like an angry dhole and coolly said to them, 'I can see many wolfhounds and the newfoundlands in you guys'.

Bermann and Boer finished their session with Dr. Bran-Clone and briefly checked with the prison camp in charge. The claimants are still submitting their documentations and trying to convince him about the prisoners somehow related to them.

Bermann and Boer left the prison camp and rushed to the local Police Chief's office as they have received an urgent message from him. The FBI guys are patiently waiting for them in the Police Chief's office. Bermann and Boar went inside and the Chief handed over the sealed covers to them after the brief introductions and explanations.

Bermann and Boer understood that the FBI has taken over the case and that they are released from their public relations office duty. They opened the sealed envelopes and signed the acknowledgment copies and said goodbye to the chief. They also wished good luck to the FBI guys.

The Police Chief blandly said to Bermann and Boer, 'you cannot walk out from the duties just like that. You have to take me and these gentlemen to the prison camp and see that Mr. Dukh, Mr. Nick, Mr. Rodrigo, Mr. Willy and Mr. Zuloaga are handed over to these gentlemen'. Bermann and Boar explained the problem in identifying the prisoners. But the Police Chief ignored all those suggestions. Bermann and Boer urbanely said to the FBI guys, 'gentlemen! Be ready with all your papers and their ID documentations for ten: five Originals and five Clones'.

The FBI guys looked at the Police Chief with question mark faces. The Chief impatiently said, 'they just want five prisoners and not ten. Now let's go. This will be your last assignment as the great public relations officers. Then you can go home and relax'.

Bermann and Boer followed the Police Chief and the FBI guys to their helicopter. They came to the prison camp. After the introductions and formalities the UN in charge took the Chief and the FBI guys to a special room. The long and big room was used for interrogating or brainwashing the accused during the time of King Kamehameha I.

The UN special guards handcuffed the eight prisoners and brought them to the same room. The FBI guys looked at the prisoners with double vision and thought that the prisoners had some kind of esotropic, exotropic and double vision sickness.

The Police Chief hopefully took out the paper and read 'Mr. Dukhobors the Federal officer and the commissioner'. The guards produced Mr. Dukh Original and Mr. Dukh Clone and asked them to identify the right one between the two prisoners. The Police Chief looked at the prisoners with his new cross-eye effect.

Mr. Dukh Original yelped like a dog and said, 'its me Damn it!' Seeing this Mr. Dukh-Clone yowled like a wolf in a high pitch and said, 'its me Damn you!' The Clones were programmed to be the best involuntary imitators of the Originals in all situations.

The Police Chief then looked at the paper and read aloud 'a small mole on the right thigh'. Mr. Dukhobors quickly undressed himself and showed his big congenital hairy mole. Mr. Dukh-Clone also showed the similar mole. The Clones were made with exactness in all areas like their Originals.

The Police Chief read with a quivery voice 'blood group AB'. The guards showed the certified AB samples of both the Original and the Clone. The Police Chief read 'the right eye –2.5 and the left eye –2.0. The guards checked and produced the same eyesight prescriptions of both the Original and the Clone.

The Police Chief cursorily read 'height 1.70 meters and weight 200 pounds'. The guards checked and gave the same records of the Original and the Clone. The Police Chief began to perspire in the old smelling room. He searched his back pockets to find his handkerchief. He wore his underwear and the trousers backwards. He could not find his back pockets. He noticed that his supposed back pockets are the front pockets at present. He remembered his latest bathroom troubles to figuring out the right side of his underwear. The UN in charge suddenly said to the Police Chief and the FBI guys in his thundering voice, 'gentleman! Choose one and leave one now. Come on! Who's next?'

The Police Chief tried very hard to point his finger to one of them with his exotropic and esotropic visionary effect. Mr. Dukhobors the Original ejected his eyeballs and gazed at the Police Chief and roared like the lioness and said, no damn it! Its not him'. The Clone did it again.

The Police Chief quickly retrieved his finger and kept strict silence like a mute swan. He did not dare to point his finger towards either of them any more. The smart FBI guys looked at the Original and the Clone with their last hopes. Mr. Dukh Original and Mr. Dukh-Clone both stared at them and grunted like a giant walruses. The FBI guys gave up their hope and signaled the Chief to make a move.

The UN in charge said to them again, 'gentlemen! Make your decisions quickly. I have other claimants waiting'. The Police Chief and the FBI guys could not choose their clients and effetely returned to the reception.

Bermann and Boer were lightheartedly smoking cigars and offered a cigar and the lighter to the Chief. He does not like any one to smoke in his presence. They knew that. But they intentionally did that to tease the Chief.

They all came to the helicopter and returned to the Chief's office without saying a word to anyone while Bermann and Boer were still teasing the Police Chief. They came to the Police Chief's office.

Bermann and Boer started their car and said goodbye to the FBI guys. The Chief tried to talk to them. But they already left for the famous Thai restaurant for their brunch.

The Chief said to the FBI guys, 'gentlemen! I need to take care of some thing now. Please excuse me. If you want to talk to those guys go to the Famous Thai Restaurant just around the corner. They often go there to brunch'.

The FBI guys nodded their heads and started jogging towards the Famous Thai Restaurant. It's not their lunchtime yet. They walked and trekked around the marine beach and came to the Famous Thai Restaurant after one hour.

In the meantime Bermann and Boer went to the dock and received Boris and Eliza. They directly went to their bayside guesthouse. Boer saw the FBI guys on the way. He thought that the FBI guys liked the Famous Thai Restaurant. He did not mention about them to Bermann at all.

The bayside guesthouse attendants have been waiting for Boris and Eliza. Shea already called the head cook and told him to prepare dinner for Bermann and Boer also.

The attendants were very glad to see resurrected Boris and Eliza Jacobsons. They enjoyed serving the delicious kosher luau with all the other special dishes to Jacobsons and the guests. They exchanged the news during the long lunch session.

Bermann and Boer explained to Boris that they are off the case and the FBI is now dealing with the case. Boris then described the plan. According to the plan they first called the newsagents and told them that they were off the case and the press meet has been officially cancelled.

The newsagents apprehensively said that they had already made all arrangements at the Pearl Harbor Dome and it could not be cancelled without losing the paid money. Bermann and Boer directed them to the local Police Chief and the FBI. The local Police Chief and the FBI guys told them that they are not ready for such a rushy pushy press conference and they are not responsible in any way for the loss of their money paid to the Pearl Harbor Dome. They asked the newsagents to hold Bermann and Boer responsible for their loss.

The newsagents got back to Bermann again and told the situation. Then Boris said to Bermann, 'now is the time to tell the newsagents either to cover my resurrection news or to place the advertisement about it on the front page'. Bermann and Boer told the newsagents about this alternative.

The newsagents checked with the editors of all newspapers. The editors agreed to place the advertisement on the title page of tomorrow's papers this evening despite all the pressmen risks. It is the voguish fashion of the newspapers in Hawaii to supply tomorrow's newspapers today evening. All the editors agreed to place the advertisement on the title page with an extra cost. The full-page advertisement emphasized the most thrilling news about the miraculous resurrection of Boris Jacobson as follows:

All friends, wellwishers and the relatives of Boris Jacobson are welcomed to the reception party tomorrow 2-3 pm at the Pearl Harbor Dome by reserving the seating arrangements.

Boris Jacobson will directly come to the Dome along with his wife Eliza. All the guests will have special lunch with the Jacobsons from 2 to 3 pm.

After lunch there will be a public interview with resurrected Boris the master survivalist of the century.

The publishers, newsagents, authors and the media men can participate in the conference from 3-5 pm by making advance reservations for the priority seating arrangements.

Interested parties, individuals and agencies should contact Sophia at Pearl Harbor Dome and make reservations for priority seating.

 

The newsagents also covered the miracle resurrection news on the cover page, as they already knew about Boris' mishap. The Hawaiian news agency requested the new local Police Chief Mr. Aardvark Chuckwood to handle the security responsibility of the Pearl Harbor Dome.

Boris officially hired Bermann and Boer for his personal protection. Boris explained his plan to Bermann and Boer. He said, 'Dr. Bran will certainly show up. He will be in any disguise. He may change his total appearance. He will certainly try to kill me again'.

Bermann thought that Bran might have visited Eliza during these twenty years in disguise. He asked Eliza to recall and draw different visitors' faces. In the past Dr. Bran visited Eliza several times as a news reporter, cameraman and publisher.

All the visitors were African-Americans. Every one of them had a strange Pidgin English accent and spoke bechedemer English. Eliza recalled and drew pictures and showed to them.

Bermann and Boer keenly looked at the pictures. Boer scanned and transmitted all those figures to their new office. Boris told them to immediately make arrangements to bring Matthew, Sam, Joan, Wilma, the good ninja guys and the Thalmulic guys.

Detective Bermann and Boer contacted Island thirteen and described the situation to Matthew and Sam. They are all still enjoying their first honeymoon. Shea convinced them and arranged the special aircraft with all permits. Bermann's new office staff arranged all the required legal identity formalities for the Thalmulic guys. The plane left for Hawaii with the good ninjas, Mathew, Cathy, Sam, Joan, Wilma and the Thalmulic fishermen.

Boer resigned his navy job and agreed to help Detective Bermann as his assistant. They moved their office to a new building near the Famous Thai Restaurant. Their new staff members are very cooperative.

They maintained round the clock contacts with the Dome. Those who read the news about miracle resurrection of Boris began to call and contact the Dome.

Dr. Bran purchased the newspaper as expected. He does not look like Dr. Bran at all. He is pirogue Ramses the black widower now. He came to his private home at mahi-mahi area. There are about ten private houses on the canal edge. They all have tiny motor canoes. People call the area as pirogue colony.

They all knew Bran as the Pirogue Ramses the black widower. He has been living there for twenty years. He goes out in his motor pirogue in the evening and comes early in the morning. He works for a monthly news magazine called Matriot. That's what the neighbors knew about Pirogue Ramses the black widower.

Ramses sat in his rocking chair in the front porch and began to read the shocking news about Boris. He was enraged to know that Boris Jacobson is alive. He had always wanted him dead forever. He hated Boris for his adroit intelligence, artistic mind and his magnetic personality that always attracted others. He began to see his flashback.

Years ago Boris, Bran and Eliza studied in the same school in Boston. Eliza loved Boris for his intelligence and rejected Bran. Since then Bran wanted to kill Boris.

He wanted to prove to Eliza that he is more intelligent than Boris. Boris moved to Hawaii and married Eliza. Bran secretly came to Hawaii and hired Nick and Rodrigo to kill Boris. They killed Boris twenty years ago.

Ramses could not believe that Boris is alive. What happened to Boris all these twenty years? Where was he all these years? How did he survive? When did he come back? All these questions urged him to attend the Dome meeting tomorrow.

He immediately called the Dome reception and reserved his seat for tomorrow's meeting. He gave his personal details as the video news reporter of Matriot. He got the seat in the third row from the podium. He has asked for the very front row seats. But the two front rows were already reserved. Sophia has confirmed seat numbers 13 and 14 in the third row one for Mr. Ramses the videographer and one for his assistant cameraman Mr. Voodoo.

Sophia gave him all the details of time and venue and said, 'sir! You must be here with your assistant by 3 pm sharp. The main gate will be closed at 3.15 pm. Nobody would be allowed after that. Only one video camera per one person would be allowed in side the meeting hall. All the other belongings would be kept in the cloakrooms. The meeting will commence at 3.30. Boris will give his resurrection story from 3.45 to 4.15. He will answer questions from 4.30 to 5.00. The meeting will end at 5.30 pm sharp'.

Ramses noted all the details. He seriously thought for the way to kill Boris again. He made a strong decision that Boris should die forever and Eliza should be a widow forever. He opened the website and observed all the seating arrangements in the Dome. He made some calculations and took notes.

He went out in his motor pirogue and purchased the latest portable video camera, plastic bomb making powders, related chemical materials and the needful bombshell equipment. He came home and began to fix his new camera bomb.

He called Mr. Voodoo and told him, 'tomorrow by three you must be at the Dome'. Voodoo is a very kind person. He always helped Ramses with his wheel chair situation.

Ramses fixed the plastic explosives in the camera. Then he fixed the remote control systems in his wheel chair. He knew that the Dome security-scanning device wouldn't notice those things either in the camera or in his wheel chair since the noticeable combination had been separated.

The minimum safe distance between the camera and the remote control switch should be just five meters. But he wanted to do it from out side the Dome so that he can escape detention and interrogation.

That means Mr. Voodoo will kill Boris and die with the camera blast. Ramses said to the air, 'poor Voodoo will die. That's the only tragic thing in this operation. But after all he is going to live in his Clone forever. If he knows that he is going to live again forever it could be easier for him to temporarily sacrifice his life for a cause dear'.

He completed the three-phased plastic bomb. He checked the newspaper again to make sure if he missed any detail. He recalculated the distances between the three phases.

Bermann and Boer spent the entire soporific night thinking about every possible way to identify Dr. Bran in all his avatars. They went to the Dome several times and personally checked every corner, entrances, gates, doors, seats, balcony and the podium to make sure to trap Dr. Bran before he could strike.

Bermann and Boer somnambulistically drove on the freeway. They had passed the alcoholmeter tests on the way and came to the dock. The jetliners from Island thirteen are coming out like the early birds from the seaplane. The cool sun is also jet lagging.

Bermann and Boer sleepwalked to the meeting point and sleepwaved their hands to the wrong passengers. Wilma cuckooed their sleep away and hugged both of them and said, 'come on my baby's breaths, let's go and eat. I am starving'.

They all jumped into the van and came to the bayside guesthouse. Boris and Eliza asked the attendants to show their rooms to all the guests. The steward showed the good ninja guys and the Thalmulic fishermen the renovated tepee rooms. Matthew and Cathy preferred the upper room. Joan and Sam checked into the usual moppet toy house which they both built when they were little. Bermann and Boer took one of the seven new suites. Wilma occupied one of the three shower rooms in the same suite.

They brushed their teeth with disposable Thalmulic stick-brushes and washed their faces and flushed the toilets and took showers and dressed up for the hot Hawaiian breakfast as they do in the fast-forwarding videotape.

Bermann and Boer explained the situation to them. They are supposed to play the roles of the press reporters, publishers and media men. Their seats are prearranged in such a way and each one of them will watch their row and the advancements, trials and attempts of the row men. When they see any thing different, unusual, uncommon, debatable, and disputable or out of line they must immediately pass on that information to Matthew and Sam. They will recheck and transmit the information to Bermann's new office and receive messages from there. The local security men and the Dome's surveillant will be watching the monitors from the brain room.

Eliza asked the steward to give them Hawaiian shirts. The steward distributed different color shirts to each one. Those shirts have funny buttons and they work as microphones.

Boris asked the steward to bring the video cameras for each one. The steward gave portable cameras to each one. These special camera caribou prongs work as earphones.

The flurried local security men will scan and allow these latest portable video cameras without making further fuss. If there is any difficulty with the local security men Wilma will come and clear it right away.

The Dome has twenty-six rows and each row has twenty-six seats in the main hall, two hundred seats in the balcony, one hundred in the dress circles and remaining seventy-six reserved seats in the corners to make one thousand. All the friends and relatives sit in the balcony.

Bermann said, 'when you identify Dr. Bran immediately press the pause button in your camera. Do not get panicky. The ninja guys will come to you and do the rest'.

Boer said, 'now go to your rooms and practice your roles and learn from your cameras'. Boris and Eliza said, 'we will be at the waiting room at 2.00 pm and move to the podium at 3.00. You folks can take rest now'.

They retired to the rooms and started to practice their vaudevillian theatrical roles. Boris and Eliza went to their residence to meet the board of trustee members. The members were excited to see Boris and Eliza. The reunion meeting was very brief with the trust members. They explained every thing about the girls' kidnap and Rodrigo's MexSp scam, which were totally misunderstood.

After the brief meeting Boris and Eliza went in side the castle and met all the castle attendants. Some of them cried to see Boris and Eliza together after twenty years.

They showed Boris and Eliza the entire renovated castle rooms and described how they had been wonderfully taking care of the castle all these years. After the castle tour they came to their master bedroom.

The most romantic king size triple bed has welcomed them with many challenges. The sweet old memoirs greeted them. They recalled and replayed the most unforgettable incidents of their married life.

The security men and the maids out side the bedroom heard the final big bang and opened the doors. Eliza is sitting at the huge dressing table in her blissful robe and beautifying herself for the occasion. Boris is still enjoying his traditional singing bath.

The security men looked for the source of the sound and found the broken legged king size master bed. They called the bedroom in charge Mr. Heyday right away. He came with his team members and removed the cot and replaced the same with a huge new made in India teakwood cot.

The resurrected Boris and Eliza Jacobsons came down in their royal elegance as though they were the descendants of the great Caucasoid Amhara dynasty. The Police Chief greeted them with his most humble off hat mulish smile. The procession started from the castle with all traditional escorts and police trumpeter vans.

They came to the Dome and met all the relatives, friends and the special guests. The appetitive lunch items were served during the meeting. The distinguished guests asked about the resurrection facts and the kidnap rumors. Boris and Eliza clarified every thing to every one in a nutshell.

All the guests appreciated Boris and Eliza in every way they could. Boris and Eliza insisted every one to stay and get the full version story in the next session.

During the luncheon the friends, relatives and the special invitees have refilled Boris and Eliza with all the missing news covering almost all possible subjects. Like a parrotfish the local Police Chief is enjoying the items in the buffet section and trying hard to make new acquaintances with the city celebrities.

He is very much satisfied by all the security arrangements of his staff. He spoke with Boris and Eliza and once again assured them of all safety. He suddenly saw Bermann and Boer and said, 'what the hell are you guys doing here? You need advance reservations to come in. I know you came see me and apologize for your rude conduct. But I am busy right now. You can see me after five'.

Wilma observed the situation and told the Police Chief that the Jacobsons had hired them to the public relations office.

The Police Chief gave a hyena smile and walked down towards the main gate. The security in charge Mr. Bravado followed the Police Chief as he began to give further instructions about latest security measures and techniques.

Mr. Bravado kept on appreciating the Police Chief for his experiential security strategy. The news reporters, publishers and the media men started coming to attend the conference. The security men are checking the identities while police sniffer dogs are checking the cameras.

A black van entered through the main gate at 3.14. Ramses the black old man got into his wheel chair and rushed towards the hall along with his assistant.

The Police Chief is still talking with his security in charge. The old man's assistant Voodoo reached the security personnel and submitted their identity cards and the reservation details.

The Police Chief personally checked the reservation details and patted the old man. The old man thanked the Police Chief for his kindness.

The Police Chief looked at his watch and said, 'okay! It's the time to close the main gates. I must go now. I will see you guys after 4.00'. He left the compound and the security guys closed the large iron gates of the Dome. The old man and his assistant proceeded towards their seats. They requested the third row seatmates 1 and 2 to move to 3 and 4. They looked at the old man and his wheel chair and agreed to adjust their seats.

The session has already started as scheduled. Boris began to tell his resurrection story. The media men are recording his empirical speech with wonder and awe. The publishers are taking down their notes and preparing their questions for the next closer session.

The news reporters are carefully listening to the breath taking and eyewitness report of Boris and munching on their abridged note version. Boris completed his story in the midst of the balcony claps, dress circle applauds and the reserved seat compliments. After a five-minute tea break he started the question answer session. The media men are allowed to go with their cameras much closer to the podium to get the answers to their particular questions. The old man wrote down his long question and gave it to his assistant.

The old man took the video camera from his assistant and activated phase one and gave it back to his assistant. He told him to go to the podium and hand over the question to Boris and record the answer at the podium.

Matthew and Sam saw the funny blink on their special video camera screens and said, 'row number three seat number 13.

The old man started his wheel chair and began to leave the hall. His assistant began to walk towards the podium.

The Police Chief just arrived at the departure gate. He is talking with the security in charge and appreciating him. He looked at the old man in the wheel chair. He checked his identity. He checked the time chart and found that he is supposed to let him out at 4.10 pm. He looked at his watch. It's 4.09 on his watch and said, 'come on buddy! I will help you with your wheel chair'. The old man activated phase two in his pager like device and left it there. They slowly moved towards the black van.

Matthew and Sam saw the second funny blink on their special video camera screens and said, 'its not just row 3 seat 13. Its also at the departure door'.

The police chief helped the old man to get into his black van. He signaled the security personnel to open the iron door. The black van slowly passed through the iron door.

The old man then pressed the remote control phase three button and byebyed the Police Chief and proceeded towards the canoe-parking dockyard. The ninja guy shouted, 'stop the wheel chair guy. Stop the van'. But it is too late. The van moved. The Police Chief heard the shout and turned back and saw the big boom from the podium.

The Thalmulic folks threw Voodoo's camera at the rear of the podium and covered Boris. The roof of the podium boomed second time and flew into the air like Aladdin's magic carpet. The Thalmulic folks got up and dragged Boris from the dais. Boris came to the senses and said, 'I am okay. I must find Bran. Take care of the wounded'. He got up and ran towards the departure gate. Joan and the ninja guys followed him.

The Police Chief signaled the security men to open the doors for them. Wilma, Bermann and Boer rushed towards their van. Matthew and Sam jumped into their van and rushed towards the canoe-parking dockyard. The Police Chief requested all the security units to go to the canoe-parking dock. Boris ran to the dock and saw the old man Ramses starting his pirogue. Boris ran and ran like a marathon runner and about to jump. The old man shot at Boris.

The ninja guys and Joan saw the situation and jumped into another motorboat and asked the guy for the keys. He quickly started the boat and cooperated with them. The old man shot at Boris again.

Boris jumped into the ocean. Joan cried aloud and asked the boat guy to go that side. She called Boris and screamed, 'grandpa!' She recalled her flashback and finally jumped into the ocean. Boris saw her and swam to her and said, 'I am okay. Let's go and get Bran'.

Joan said, 'okay grandpa! Let's go'. Their underwater conversation reached the prince of whales. The prince of whales understood that Boris and Joan were in trouble. The prince followed the sound and found Boris and Joan.

The ninja guys were looking for Boris and Joan. Boris asked Joan to hold him tight. He swam like the fastest fish. The ninja guys saw Boris and Joan they followed them with great speed. Matthew and Sam got into the cost guard boat and gave them directions.

The local police detained Wilma, Bermann and Boer and asked them to show their identities. Wilma pushed the police into the ocean and they took the police van and followed the boats by marine road.

They called the coast guard and asked for the aerial back up. The aerial back up guys identified the old man's pirogue and aimed at him with repeated loudspeaker warnings.

Boris and Joan saw the prince and told him to chase the pirogue and stop Bran. The prince rushed towards the pirogue. Boris and Joan looked up and saw the coast guard helicopter. They tried to tell them not to shoot at the pirogue. They cried and said, 'don't shoot. You may kill the prince'. But their cries did not reach the helicopter guys. They shot a guided missile at the pirogue. Joan cried to the prince to leave the pirogue and escape from the missile. Boris asked the whales to take care of Joan and swam faster than the rorquals and passed on the message to the prince.

The prince calculated the situation and suddenly jolted the pirogue. The old man began to fly into the air. The prince then jerked off the pirogue and threw it in the different direction. He thus misled the missile.

The missile then hit the pirogue and broke it into thousand pieces. The prince narrowly escaped the missile in the most spectacular way. Matthew and Sam transmitted the message to the aircrew not to shoot at the pirogue. But it was too late and the aircrew saw what happened with utmost awe. They realized that they could have hurt the prince. Anyway they got the message and stopped shooting at Bran. The old man began to fall down from the air in a slow motion. The prince then opened his mouth and grabbed him in the right time. He looked like Triton the half human and half dolphin sea god.

Then the prince spat the old man up and the other whales swallowed him and threw him up again as though they were playing water volleyer game. The old Ramses make up fell off from the old man's face and everybody recognized that it was Bran. Boris and Joan reached the area. Boris said to Bran, 'O Bran! Now you are born again'.

All the coast guard boats and the aircrafts surrounded the spot. Joan and Boris brought Bran and handed over him to Bermann and Boer. The Police Chief arrived with the official media men and officially arrested Bran the notorious international criminal master brain of the century. He had made wonderful headlines in all newspapers. Bran said to the Police Chief, 'if patriots got one life to lose for their country, I have thousand lives to use for my brainchild Ibtos. Don't you know that it makes me a Matriot?'

Bran was convicted for all his pseudo-scientific deadly crimes and murderous cloning project. The UN has kept all the international criminals under its control for a long period of five years until all the court cases were completely settled.

The Whale family witnessed that Bran had killed many human beings and whales for his ugly devilish experiments in the past. The judge took note of their witness and gave him extra 100 years imprisonment.

The Thalmulic folks finally gave their witness and requested the Judge, 'Bran is a psychopath having all the possible mental disorders. He must be in the asylum and not in the prison. He needs help. Not only him but all the members of his brainchild Ibtos, cheaters, smugglers, terrorists, murderers, liars and pseudo-scientific addictives and all sort of players of human lives should be treated as socio-politico-religio-pathic mental cases. They all needed our humanitarian help. We must teach them the real meaning of humanity. They must know the dangers of the untrained freewill, the value of human freedom and the life's struggle between freewill and freedom on the arena of earth'.

The judge recommended Bran and all his Ibtos members for medical tests and finally sent them to the UN mental asylum in Hawaii. The scholars, politicians and other social scientists went there and studied the relationship between humanity and extra humanity in all forms of human life on earth.

The Supreme Court Judge Adams JR had appreciated Wilma, Bermann and Boer for their faithful service to the country. The Police Chief zealously praised Wilma for her selfless love towards Bermann and Boer at the same time. She has decided to live and die with both of them with all her freedom.

Wilma argued, 'is there a limit to just love one? If that is so legal here, we three will live together in all freedom without marriage'. The Police Chief admitted that he was wrong and he apologized to them. Wilma welcomed him to join their pure human family.

The judge Adams JR unofficially appreciated her freewill yes freedom no concept and said, 'my grandpa told me about how he defended the slaves in the famous Amistad case. I always encouraged the concept of freedom. I will think about what you said'.

The Thalmulic folks blessed her and said, 'you are as praiseworthy as the legendary holy polyandric mothers of some religions. People will soon recognize your sociable nature and follow you. You will lead the warring people towards the peaceful life styles'. Boris appreciated the Thalmulic folks for their extrasensory perception and also for saving his life. Boris and Eliza invited the Thalmulic folks and the good ninja guys to become the citizens of Eretz Ephraim.

The peace-loving nations had appreciated and participated in Boris' vision and came forward to recognize Eretz Ephraim the sister nation for all the diaspora communities on the thirteen Islands for the sake of world peace.

The UN member-nations welcomed the idea and encouraged their citizens to visit Eretz Ephraim. Many Arab nations also understood and appreciated Boris' plan and came forward to participate in establishing Eretz Ephraim. The UN has granted a self-government status to Eretz Ephraim and agreed to leave Eretz Ephraim to the US trusteeship.

Joan and all the girls appreciated the prince of whales for all the help. They invited all his whale family to Eretz Ephraim since they can travel in all international waters without visas. The whale family members appreciated Boris and Joan for saving the life of the prince of whales. They expressed their friendship with the humans.

The UN appointed Bermann and Boer as the public relations officers of the Ibtos mental hospital in Hawaii. They gave special permission to anyone to go to the mental hospital and meet the Ibtos members for study purposes. The asylum was shifted to Eretz Ephraim after 5 years. The tourists and the resorters can talk to the Ibtos members.

The Kuwait Sheikh Mr. Jihad Zorrilla, the Moor from Northwest Africa Mr. Berber Alhambra and the Canadian Sikh Mr. Rajah Malay Singha visited Eretz Ephraim with their teams and spent many days in the resort. Mr. Stelepeg became the authorized mobile home deliverer for Eretz Ephraim. He had developed the half-timber work patterns in Eretz Ephraim. His boss joined the asylum along with the other Ibtos members and learned to appreciate his works. The best filmmaker of the century Mr. Akirosawa became the leading motion picture producer in Eretz Ephraim.

He encouraged other producers to make their films in Eretz Ephraim. The motion picture producers came to Eretz Ephraim and made the prince of whales their hero for their film series. The prince of whales is the largest living whale of the century. He was over 100 feet long weighing about 200 tons. The children loved him as their hero.

The UN had declared Eretz Ephraim as the war free zone. People from all nations began to visit Eretz Ephraim and learned living arts, live subjects and live sciences and took back the practical ideologies from Eretz Ephraim and introduced them in their countries. The children from all nations came every year and enjoyed their vacation in Eretz Ephraim.

They loved to watch and learn from the bottlenoses in Eretz Ephraim's natural oceanarium. The prince of whales and his family members came every month and entertained the resorters.

They appealed to all the resorters not to kill the fellow humans or any friendly beings for the sake of experiments. They went to all nations and promoted their ideology everywhere with their slogan not to kill life for the sake of experiments.

They greeted everyone with their new way of greeting and said, 'stop playing life or the life will play you'. Some nations took it as whale prophecy and warned their citizens not to play life in any form. Some other nations thought that it was silly. But gradually all nations understood that life is a universal issue and we cannot play with it as if we are the sole owners of entire life. The nations did not fully understand until after the first and second world wars.

Hundreds and thousands of people died during wars. Many people are still dying during the elections and riots and class struggle. Others were being killed in the name of religions and gods. For all the life on earth destroyed by the beings, life has taught great lessons.

How long do we postpone learning about the value of life? How much time do we need to recognize the value of life in general and human life in particular? Is there an evidential proof that the life lives after death? Religiously we can say yes but scientifically it is still no. Even if it so, we cannot kill life.

Until at least we scientifically explain life beyond death, we should not take life. When we cannot give life we cannot take it. When we cannot make, we cannot break. But Ramses is completely occupied in his special room sending and receiving the thought waves to the other prisoners in the Ibtos body. He started his morning homily and said:

As promised I have brought you to the goldhill. As promised I gave you separate rooms to each of you.

As promised I arranged gold to eat in the morning, at noon and in the evening.

As promised I have gave my life to you all. You are one in me now. This is the goldhill. We will be here forever.

I have given you Oedipus complex and Electra complex. Like the hagfish you can become male or female at your will.

Enjoy my life my clone children. You will live-die-live forever in me'.

 

They all praised him and said, 'you are anointed to do all these great things for us. You are worthy to be our Huitzilopochtli. You are in us and we are in you'.

They started the black mass and sang praise songs for Dr. Bran. He became their god on earth who had promised and fulfilled every thing that was promised. Dr. Bran the master shamanist brainwashed and titillated his devotees for some time.

The students of life sciences from the peace-loving nations came and studied the extra human nature in the human behavior manifested in these devotees. The devotees became taciturnly silent for some time and suddenly became garrulous for some time.

All the other times they were amenable to every statement that was said in the name of Dr. Bran their god. Ramses told them in the name of Dr. Bran saying, 'Dr. Bran said'. They completely became addicted to the name Bran. They praised his as Dr. Monoversalis. They looked towards the sky like the stargazers for the return of Dr. Bran while he was always there among their cell bodies.

Ramses looked at them and noticed all his qualities were distributed in them. He was fully satisfied that he achieved his clonal goal. After that he did not know what to do. He slowly developed abnormal schizophrenic symptoms and began to talk with the guards.

He became peccatophobic and poinophobic at the same time. He became demophobic for some time and monophobic other times. Slowly he developed pantophobia and phobophobia. He cried aloud like a kid.

Boris visited him every day and reminded him of their childhood friendship. He began to recall his childhood days. He said to Ramses, 'we started the Book of Job the father of didactic life sciences who said, 'But ask the animals and they will teach you or the birds of the air and they will tell you or speak to the earth and it will teach you or let the fish of the sea inform you which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

Then we began to learn from the hill myna. If myna can mimic human speech we can surely learn some thing from his speech apparatus. We can develop a device and help the entire mute and the speechless. Now we have to continue our study and help the mankind'.

Ramses said, 'yes I remember the study. After I left Boston I have invented the clones. They can mimic the human speech like myna'. Boris slowly brought Ramses into his senses. He finally agreed to start medication. The expert doctors of Eretz Ephraim started medication to him and his devotees. They mixed the medicine in their food and gave them medicines since they became pathophobic and iatrophobic at the same time. While the psychosomatic treatment was going on well the medical students from all nations came to Eretz Ephraim and learned practical lessons in genetic engineering.

The diaspora communities slowly realized and appreciated Boris plan. They became the member-citizens of Eretz Ephraim and supported the Middle East peace process as a sister nation to Israel in the UNO.

All the nations appreciated Boris plan and participated in all the peaceful activities of Eretz Ephraim. Nations have sent their students to Eretz Ephraim to study and learn life subjects in all levels.

The prisoners have slowly shared their individual peaceful life styles to all the international students. There is no more killing in Eretz Ephraim. The intelligent world finally learned the life sciences and the value of life.

Postscript

After five years

It took five years for Boris to cytologically figure out that the prisoners are 44 just like the number of autosomes in the common human body cell. There are 22 pairs of prisoners plus Ramses. Dr. Bran must be still missing.

A group of women from various countries made reservations to stay in the Island resort. One of them is Dr. Bran with a woman's name as Brittany. The airplane landed on the Island. The whales smelled Brittany and told Joan that it was Dr. Bran. Boris showed the prisoners to the visitors as usual. Brittany went into the bathroom. She took out her lipstick equipment and fixed her pistol and shot Boris' dupe. The security guys arrested Brittany-Bran. He sent his thought waves to the prisoners from his special room and they all chanted, 'Bran-god finally killed Boris'.
