The Lonely Spy (6 page)

President Sharon Washington held a
press conference at the White House. ‘’ People of America the only
reason Yolanda Anderson was granted an amnesty was on the basis to
assist the UN and the United States of America reverse these
Strange natural disasters that have occurred recently. She was
going to travel to space and save human kind and our beautiful
planet from extinction by unknown universal dark forces. The news
articles that claim Yolanda and I are working together and we are
linked a terrorist organization are false. Our job now is to find
Yolanda and bring her back as she is the only person who
volunteered and brave enough to travel to space. I promise you, we
will bring her back and we are going to space and fight this
Invisible enemy out there. America and the global population our
fate depends on her to save planet earth from being swallowed by
another galaxy. If that happened, there will be no trace of Planet
earth and other planets in the solar system ever existed. I thank
you, God bless America’’ President Washington said.

She rushed outside the press room and
didn’t take questions. TV viewership records were broken. 101
Million Viewers watched in the USA and 3.5 Billion viewers
globally, watched the president’s speech. People all over the world
were petrified upon hearing the breaking news from the president of
the United States of America. Stock exchanges points from every
country dropped sharply, Oil and commodity prices also
decreased.

Morale among Americans was very low as
result more than 75 million citizens were not motivated to go to
work. They felt, it is useless going to work if they are going to
die within few weeks. Few others withdrew all their life savings
and spent it on luxuries. At the White House president Washington
met with other politician. They are arguing with republicans,
congress leaders about the next step and who leaked that kind of
sensitive information. ‘’ I think I may have a slight idea who
leaked the story, I think it is you Brad Williams and this should
have been prevented’’ She said.

She pointed at Brad. He denied the
allegations and President Washington fired him in front of every
politician. There was silence in the room as Brad was escorted out
of the White house. ‘’ I am not going to Back down and compromise
my integrity and my country’s security. I will not resign and I
will not handover the nukes to the terrorists. We do not negotiate
with terrorists.’’ President Washington said. Everyone in the hall
stood up and clapped hands. ‘’We only have 48 hours till we launch
to space and 12 hours to find Yolanda’’ President Washington
said.

The chief of staff received a note from
his personal assistant. He read it and gave it to the president. ‘’
Wow, we have a lead on Yolanda’s whereabouts. An American aid
worker and 2 reporters, who worked in Iraq, recognize the location
shown on the video footage sent by the terrorists. The location is
in the border between Iraq and Syria. I will send the best military
personnel to bring her back’’ she said. The president assembled the
best navy seal and soldiers to save Yolanda. The military planes
jet off to Iraq.

11 hours later, Yolanda’s body is
trembling and feeling the pain of bruises all over her body.
Yolanda has lost hope and prays these guys do not sell her as a
slave. She would rather die than to be someone’s sex slave. She
looks around this dark room and house made of mud bricks. As she
was looking around the room she was locked in. She heard keys sound
and the door opened. The captors walked towards Yolanda, picked her
up and took her outside. ‘’Kneel down’’ he said. Yolanda knelt down
very quick. ‘’ Your people haven’t met our demands. Today you will
meet your creator.’’ He said. One of the captors took a video
camera and started recording.

Black flags with Arabic words were
placed behind Yolanda. ‘’In the name of the most high Allah, we are
going to kill you after I finish reading this passage from the
Quran. Do you understand?’’ he said. Yolanda nodded with
reluctance; her eyes were bloody red in tears. One of the captors
gave the leader a book and it was the Quran. He opened, flipped the
pages and found the scripture he was looking for.He read the quotes
from it. ‘’ When you encounter unbelievers on the battlefield,
strike off their heads until you have crushed them completely; and
then bind the prisoners tightly…….’’ He said. Before the leader
could say anything else, 2 military choppers appeared from nowhere.
Rounds of bullets came from helicopters; before they could shoot
back they were all shot dead. Yolanda’s life flashed before her
eyes, and her mind was disorientated. The navy seal team got out
from the chopper, some of them went inside the house searching for
possible threats. They walked towards her, untied her hands. They
try to wake Yolanda up but she was half unconscious and
traumatized. ‘’Yolanda, Yolanda where is the other dude, Charles’’
he said. Yolanda struggled to open her eyes and finally did.
‘’Charles…. is not here….. He never came here…….. We left him in
Mexico’’ Yolanda replied. ‘’Get in guys, we are leaving. The
helicopter flew away.

Charles is exhausted; he has been
wrapping and packaging cocaine for the past 12 hours without a
break or food. What he experienced in this warehouse was beyond
comprehension. He saw young kids being beaten for being exhausted
and pleading for food. Some of the older people were died of
starvation. They were buried for being sick for a long time without
treatment.

Everyone ate once a day, only after
they finish work during the night. Charles was getting ready to
sleep on the floor. He couldn’t care less if this was a cramped
1-room with about 15 people. He just wanted to sleep. He took out
his bread and gave it to the kid sleeping next to him. He wasn’t
hungry at all; he was fasting as he usually does back home. He
dozed off and went to a deep sleep. Few hours later, everyone was
woken up by a huge explosion and gunfire in the forest. Charles
stood up with everyone else. They looked in the window and saw the
guards and guys who were supervising them in the factory being
killed by missiles from the choppers. After few minutes of gun fire
exchange, there was silence. They heard footsteps walking towards
their room. Charles heard a familiar voice calling out his name. ‘’
That’s sounds like Yolanda’s name ‘’ he said. He unlocked the door
and screamed Yolanda’s name. Yolanda turned and saw Charles 50
meters away.

They ran towards each other, Yolanda
jumped to Charles’s arms, he grabbed her and they kissed
passionately. ‘’You are alive, Oh thank God, how did you find me?’’
Charles asked. ‘’We met people at the isolated airport, they told
us they have escaped and you were held captive in a drug factory
deep inside the forest’’ Yolanda replied. Yolanda kissed Charles
again.

‘’
I was nearly killed in
Iraq and my life flashed before my eyes and I thought of you……’’
Yolanda said. Charles interrupted Yolanda as she was about to
finish her sentence. ‘’You are safe now, thanks to these brave men
who brought you back safely’’ he said. ‘’Let’s go home, we have
unfinished business we need to do.’’ She said. The soldiers freed
everyone in the forest and they burnt the warehouse and factory.
They flew back to the United States of America.

The United States of America media got
hold of the information and reported that the navy seal are on
their way back to the US. Yolanda and Charles are alive and well.
Everyone was glued to their TVs and radios and people were excited
on the good news. It was like New Years day celebrations, there
were fireworks all over the country and people celebrated all
around the world upon hearing Yolanda is back. Radio stations were
flooded with phone calls from callers expressing their excitement
of Yolanda and Charles’s return. The helicopter went straight and
landed at the White House. Yolandaand Charles were welcomed by
their family and friends. The moment was very emotional, as
everyone thought they will never see each other again. President
Sharon Washington appeared ‘’ Well, I don’t want no more surprises.
Yolanda and Charles will sleep here in the White House. Your family
and friends can also sleepover if they want. Tomorrow is a big day
for both of you’’ President Washington said.

Moments later they realized the
president has organized dinner for them. ‘’Wow! We are eating
dinner with the president tonight’’ Charles’s niece said. They
enjoyed the meal and President Washington asked to be excused as
she has other duties to do. ‘’Goodnight everyone, it was a pleasure
knowing your family. Yolanda we will meet tomorrow morning’’ White
house staff showed them their bedrooms and everyone enjoyed
themselves as this experience was a once in a lifetime
opportunity.

The following morning, Yolanda and
Charles had a secret meeting with the president together with the
Defense ministers of North Korea, Iran, Britain, China and Russia.
‘’ These are all the nuclear codes of the nuclear weapons. They
have been entrusted to me by the presidents and Prime ministers
concerned. When you detonate them just use these codes and
passwords’’ President Washington said. Yolanda looked at Charles
and took a deep breath. We will not disappoint you madam president
and we thank you for your cooperation and contribution, ministers’’
Yolanda said. They all shook hands and they left the conference
room.

Yolanda and Charles hugged and waved
their families goodbye. A few minutes later, 30 black SUVs arrived
at the White House. All SUVs will escort them for security reasons.
They entered on one of the cars and it drove off. There were also
military vehicles, fighter jets and helicopters escorting Yolanda
and Charles. People on the streets of Washington DC were cheering
with mixed emotions. Some were excited and had hopeful that they
will pull it off. Some were crying and emotional.

5 Billion People were glued to their TV
screens watching this monumental event. Presidents, Prime
ministers, kings, and Princes were watching this as if their lives
depend on it. Yolanda was overwhelmed with emotion, Charles held
her hand gently. ‘’It’s going to be alright’’ he said. They arrived
at their destination. They got out of the car and were both amazed
at the sight and beauty of the spacecraft. The spacecraft was huge;
the architectural design was out of this world. People were amazed
at the sight of the spacecraft. The US military sang a national
anthem and the people broke down in tears during the national
anthem. After the national anthem ended, president gave a brief
farewell speech to the nation.

Cameraman and journalists came closer
‘’ the world depends on you to reverse this enigmatic natural
disaster that will destroy planet earth. Just know one thing and
only one thing. You are already heroes in the United States of
America and the world. Go out there and fight for your people and
planet.’’ President Sharon Washington said.

JOURNEY TO SPACE

They all got inside the spacecraft
together with the White House Staff, Defense ministers, the elite
astronauts team and the members of congress. They looked around the
spacecraft with amazement in their eyes. They were impressed with
the state of the art technology. It was installed with 26 engines
running with the aid of nuclear fuel energy. 13 of the 26 engines
were powered by solar energy. The windscreen is Meteor, rays and
radiation proof. They will be absorbed and stored as solar energy
in space. Induction session was almost finished; President
Washington turned and looked at both Yolanda and Charles. ‘’ There
is no turning back now guys’’ she said. Everyone in the spacecraft
shook Yolanda and Charles’s hands and wished them a safe and
successful trip. They all went outside except Yolanda and Charles.
As every citizen of planet earth was glued in their TV screen,
another potential natural disaster occurred. The sun and the blue
sky disappeared. The Black Hole appeared and covered the entire
sky. It moved closer and closer at a slower pace and it stopped.
People panicked and ran to their houses. Some people were amazed
with the sight.

The countdown began till the spacecraft
launches 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. This was a not a usual spacecraft, when
it was about to launch the ground shook. People who were 10 km away
from the spacecraft felt it. Some thought it was a tremor or an
earthquake. People waved as the spacecraft launched, some were
emotional watching their TVscreens and were praying for their
success.

The spacecraft rose higher and higher
until it disappeared up in the sky. Inside the spacecraft, Yolanda
and Charles are strapped in their seatbelts. They are facing upward
as the spacecraft is travelling at 85 million km/h. There is
turbulence, the spacecraft is shaking and Charles looks at Yolanda.
‘’It’s going to be all right within 2 hours ok?’’ Yolanda looks
uncomfortable but nods with reluctance. An automated voice message
from the spacecraft alerted them. ‘’ Oxygen from this level is 0%,
press the Oxygenex button for oxygen ’’ Yolanda pressed the
Oxygenex button and she took a deep breath. 2 hours laterthe
spacecraft stabilized. Charles sighed, took off his seatbelt. ‘’ Do
you need anything from the kitchen?’’ ‘’ Sparkling water will be
fine, thanks’’ she said. Charles stood u and walked to the kitchen.
He opened the fridge, pulled out a bottle of sparkling water and a
bottle of champagne. He opened the cupboard and pulled out 2
champagne glasses and went back to the work station.

Yolanda felt nauseous and her head was
spinning. ‘’ You know that feeling when you are in a boat or cruise
ship. You get sea sick, well that’s how I feel right now’’ she
said. Charles grinned and gave Yolanda the bottle of sparkling
water. She opened the bottle and drank it. Meanwhile Charles also
gave her the wine glass and opened the bottle of champagne. ‘’ This
will help’’ he said.He popped the champagne and poured it on
Yolanda’s glass and also to his. ‘’ What should we toast to?’’ he
asked.
