overweight man he called Tom.
    “Good work. Chuck,” Tom said to Nathan.
    “They bought the accent?”
    “I told you not to worry,” Nathan said.
    The two exchanged papers, and Tom handed Nathan a wad of cash.
    “This is your next assignment,” Tom said.
    Nathan looked at Lionel.
    “Change of plans, big boy,” Nathan said.
    “You’re getting a ride from my friend.”
    “I thought we were going on a train,” Lionel said.
    “And why is he calling you Chuck?”
    Nathan grabbed his overnight bag and laughed.
    “Nice meetin’ ya,” he said. Then he was out the door.
    “What about my family?” Lionel said.
    Tom told Lionel to get dressed.
    “I need to take ashower, bugs are crawling all ov”—“I said, get your clothes on and get in the van!”
    Tom yelled.
    Vicki was in a daze at school. The loss of Lionel made her feel more alone. Mrs. Jenness called an all-school assembly, and Vicki found her friend Shelly sitting near the back.
    “You’re not gonna believe this,” Shelly said.
    “I was working in the office yesterday when the Global Community called.

    This is mandatory. “
    “They made the school call this assembly?” Vicki said.
    “It’s a grief awareness seminar,” Shelly said.
    Mrs. Jenness introduced the speaker as a therapist. She also attended an Enigma Babylon One World Faith congregation and had personally met Nicolae Carpathia.
    “Two good reasons to get up and walk out,” Shelly whispered.
    The speaker began by asking how many people had lost family members and friends in the last two years. Almost every hand went up.
    “You have the power within yourself to overcome anything,” the woman said.
    “No matter how bad your situation, if you learn to trust yourself and your feelings, you can become the person the Global Community needs.”
    Judd had free reign of the hangar. For exercise, he jogged.
    Graham showed him a stash of food that could last months if they needed it. Judd and Graham tried in vain to find the passageway from the hangar to the house.
    “I’m headed topside,” Graham said.
    “I’m gonna chance it.
    Wish me luck or whatever you do. “
    Judd turned to the computer. He spent most of his time there, communicating with his friends and those who e-mailed Tsion. Some of the kids who wrote the rabbi wanted more evidence, but most of them had come to Christ and were asking what they should do with their faith.
    One message stood out. The screen name was “Pavel.” The boy wrote Tsion and said he wanted to understand the truth about the man named Jesus. Tsion suggested that Judd send him a copy of the Scriptures and excerpt some of Bruce teachings.
    Judd did that, but he also struck up a conversation. Judd asked where Pavel lived and what his family had been through during the war.
    “We have not experienced any harm during the war,” Pavel wrote.
    “My father works for the Global Community here in New Babylon. One day he mentioned the potentate was upset by the message of the rabbi inIsraeland of the men who preach at the Wailing Wall. I became curious. I read the rabbi’s messages and listened to the men at the Wailing Wall.”
    Judd couldn’t believe it. The son of someone at Global Community headquarters was interested in the gospel!
    Judd explained the life of Christ as dearly as he could.

    “Jesus was born of a virgin and remained sinless his entire life. He was not just a good man, he was perfect. He was God in the flesh. Sin separates a person from God forever, and every person on earth has sinned. But Jesus’ death paid the penalty for anyone who believes in him. If a person asks for God’s forgiveness, God answers and freely gives salvation. “
    Judd included Scripture references and a personal message at the end.
    “If you have video capabilities and other questions,” he wrote, “tell me when it would be safe and we’ll talk.”
    As he wrote the message, Judd wondered if this boy was actually who he said he was. For all Judd knew,
