Former FBI agents Thomas Seldon and Charles Richards checked into the investigation of the crash of the Southwest Pacific Airlines flight that Tom and Lynda were supposed to have been on the week before. Special Agent Jonnie North had gone to the crash site to aid in the search for clues. It was soon learned that the man who'd caused the crash was a former employee of the airline who'd been fired for petty theft of in-flight beverage sales.
The man had gone to his former supervisor to ask for his job back and his supervisor had refused to reinstate him. He'd taken that flight because his former supervisor at LAX lived in San Francisco and was also taking the flight home. The man had managed to sneak a .44 Magnum revolver that he'd borrowed from a co-worker past security using his USAir credentials.
Investigators found a note among the rubble at the crash site that the man had written on an airsickness bag; it was absolutely chilling.
Hi Ray. I think it's sort of ironical that we ended up like this. I asked for some leniency for my family. Remember? Well, I got none and you'll get none.
What had seemed even more ironic to the investigators was that 43 people died because a man had been fired for stealing $69...
The dark forces had descended upon that despondent man as soon as they'd learned that two of the "chosen ones" had reserved tickets on that flight. And, yet again, their lives had been spared, but this time because other "chosen ones" had intervened... without any help from The Guardians...
While interviewing the ticket agent that Tom had tried to convince to let him speak to someone in charge and tell them of the possible danger, Jonnie had noticed that he seemed very nervous. During further questioning, the man confessed to having been the one who'd loaned the perpetrator the gun! That was why he hadn't wanted to let Tom talk to anyone else, because he knew it was true...
The year 1987 ended with yet another airline disaster in Peru the day after the Southwest Pacific crash that killed the same number of people, some new advances in technology and the introduction of a drug that would lead to a big break for the dark forces of the universe... Prozac. All of a sudden, along came this "happy pill" that took all worries away and left even more humans extremely vulnerable to having their "free will" manipulated...
Millions of Americans who struggled every day to follow paths of light were being bombarded by the facts that government corruption, crimes of hate, worldwide violence and natural disasters seemed to be increasing. Prozac was supposed to help them "not worry" about those troubling facts... what it actually did was make them "not care." And it didn't take long for the dark forces to figure that out...
**********
In early 1988, Jada Seldon was growing worried that she had, as yet, been unable to conceive. Wayne kept telling his wife that he was in no hurry for them to have children. He loved her and his love was not conditional on her ability to produce sons for him... as most Saudi men prized in a wife! But Jada couldn't let it go... she wanted to share children with her husband... she wanted to be a mother!
Wayne had told Jada about all of his family and friends' special abilities and she'd told him that her brother Yosef had said Nuri also had an ability akin to Lily Richards' "gift"... he could see into a person's heart. She was worried that something was wrong with her, so she asked Dr. Charlie Richards when they were gathered at Megan and Jonnie's house one night to see if he could sense anything.
Lily urged her husband to go ahead, so Charlie placed his left hand on Jada's lower abdomen and closed his eyes. He frowned and then looked worriedly at Jada as he said softly, "Something is definitely not right... I don't sense anything specifically wrong... but something is just not right. I'm sorry... I know this doesn't sound like it makes any sense! There is nothing seriously wrong physically... your overall health is good... there doesn't seem to be any medical reason why you can't conceive. But there is something wrong... I just can't tell what it is. Go to a gynecologist and have it checked out... OK?" he advised her gravely.
She asked Megan to help her get an appointment with her gynecologist and then asked Megan to come with her, as she did not want to be alone with the doctor. She still had a faint fear of doctors due to an experience she had just before she'd left Saudi Arabia and come to the U.S. to attend M.I.T.
Megan's doctor could find nothing wrong during a physical examination and was intrigued by some small scars on her abdomen. When he asked her about them, she told him that a Saudi doctor had discovered what he'd called some benign cysts on her ovaries when they'd forced her to submit to a complete physical before allowing her to leave the country. The doctor had insisted that the cysts be removed before she was allowed to travel, so she'd been required to have the surgery before they let her leave.
The doctor frowned, as something didn't sound right to him. He asked Jada if she'd allow him to have some X-rays done on her abdomen so he could verify what she'd been told. A few days later, Jada and Megan were back in the doctor's office after he'd had a chance to review her X-rays with a technician. Jada was stunned by what they'd found...
"Mrs. Seldon... I don't know how to tell you this... but, when that surgery was performed, your fallopian tubes were tied. And, I hate to add that, your ovaries do not show any evidence of scarring to indicate the removal of any cysts... I daresay that whole story was a ruse just to get you to submit to surgery so they could render you unable to conceive."
"Oh, my God," Megan whispered as her hand covered her mouth. She turned to look at her friend, who was just staring blindly into space. "Jada, honey... are you all right?" she asked gently as she reached over to take the younger woman's hand.
Jada sprang out her chair, spouting a litany of Arabic curses that made both Megan and the doctor flinch and then stare at her wide-eyed as she continued shouting in Arabic, pacing back and forth in front of the windows. Then she finally broke down sobbing, bending over as if in pain. Megan jumped up and rushed over to her. She held Jada until she could stop crying, rocking her gently as she soothed her calmly.
That night, Wayne held his sobbing wife and cried with her as she told him what had been done to her. The only thing that had kept Jada from losing all hope was the doctor telling her after she'd calmed down that they'd likely be able to reverse the surgery, giving her a 50/50 chance at being able to conceive. However... it would be considered an elective procedure and, therefore, not covered by insurance... it would be costly... and it wouldn't guarantee that she'd actually conceive.
Wayne assured her if she wanted to go through with it, he didn't care what it would cost. But he made her promise that whatever she decided, whether she was able to get pregnant or not, she was not to blame herself for his sake! "I mean it, Jada... YOU are the most important person in the world to me! If we were meant to have children, then it will happen... and if not... then it was not your fault! It was your damn government's fault... just remember that!" he growled and watched as an angry fire built in her eyes as her sobs faded...
