such scored such a boon. If someone within the Resistance was loyal to him, then it was only a matter of time before the thorn in her side would be destroyed.
    “So when will they retaliate, and where?” she asked.
    “That will be revealed in good time,” Edgar replied, “Trust that the right information will be planted and Dawn will lead her troops right into the trap. I’ve called you here for a different reason.”
    He paused, considering deeply for a moment what he was about to reveal. He had to trust someone in this game, and in the end, in spite of all her shortcomings, Rosario was his most useful and loyal servant.
    “The Resistance has begun to call in the Candidates,” he explained.
    “Really? They’ve narrowed down the list?” she asked.
    “Oh, the list was narrowed down decades ago. They’ve been tracking them closely, and so have I.”
    “What do you mean, you’ve been tracking them? Why haven’t you told me this before?” Rosario demanded.
    “My dear,” Edgar said with a look of fire in his eyes, “You know the terms of our relationship. You must tell me your every move. However, I don’t owe you the same courtesy.”
    She bowed her head in fear and shame.
    He took a gentle finger and placed it under her chin, forcing her to look at him once more.
    “Suffice it to say, I’ve been tracking their Candidates as well. I have my reasons. They have faith in finding a savior. I myself am looking for a betrayer. And I won’t stop until I have that betrayer back in my grip.”
    “I don’t understand—” she stuttered.
    “You don’t have to understand,” he replied, releasing his finger from her chin and rising from his seat, “Just know this, Dawn has begun to bring in the Candidates for testing. Her first candidate will arrive at their headquarters within hours. If he’s the One, she will lead her attack on the WG. We must be ready.”
    “And how do you suggest we prepare?” the World Leader asked.
    “You must unplug New Chelyabinsk in Russia,” he said.
    “Kill more people,” she repeated, without a note of dismay. She knew full well that mass slaughter was a favorite pastime of his. She’d let go of her guilt at least a century ago.eHumanity was nothing to him; therefore it had become nothing to her. Closing her heart to their suffering was the only way she could survive.
    “Yes, a few million more Lux released from the Earth will drive Dawn to act sooner than later. Besides, it will send her a message,” he said.
    “And what about the Candidates?” Rosario asked.
    “Ah, leave that to me,” he replied confidently, “With time, the One will come to me. And I’ll know just what to do when that glorious day arrives!”
    Rosario beamed at him with all the affection and adoration expected from a devotee. Religious practice had passed from the Earth the day Dawn had first opened her eyes. Immortality made the worship of the gods obsolete. But for Rosario, religious fervor still lingered within her soul; it was Edgar Prince whom she worshipped. For his part, Edgar was completely at home identifying with the godhead. He was after all, the “Father of eHumanity.” Rosario’s complete devotion awakened his desire.
    Edgar could smell it.
    “Come here,” he suddenly commanded.
    She rose and approached him. He roughly drew her closely to his chest. Sending his own desire in waves through his hands, he reached around her back to the waistline of her skirt, and parted the standard slit that covered her plug at the base of her spine. Slowly he ran the tip of his finger around the outside of the plug, driving her wild with pleasure. Rosario threw back her head and let out a small groan as Edgar thrust his entire finger inside her, sending an immediate shock up her body. She cried out in delight. Then, he withdrew his finger and forcefully pushed her out of his embrace.
    She stood in front of him, shaking with longing and ache. For him to tease her in such a way was almost too much for
