Pauline Van Luven and Tanner Kingsley watched as Kelly's and Diane's bodies tumbled backward and fell to the floor.

Tanner walked over to Senator Van Luven and hugged her. "It's finally over, Princess."



CHAPTER 42

FLINT ASKED, "WHAT do you want me to do with the bodies?" Tanner did not hesitate. "Tie some weights around their ankles, have them flown out about two hundred miles, and drop them into the Atlantic." "No problem." Flint left the room.

Tanner turned to Senator Van Luven. "That ends it, Princess. We can be on our way." She moved up to him and kissed him. "I've missed you so much, baby." "I've missed you, too." "Those monthly rendezvous were frustrating because I knew you had to leave." Tanner held her close. "From now on, we're together. We'll wait a respectable three or four months as an homage to your dear departed husband and then we'll get married." She smiled and said, "Lets make it a month." He nodded. "Sounds good." "I resigned from the Senate yesterday. They were very understanding about my grief over my husband's death." "Wonderful. Now we can be seen together freely. I want you to see something at KIG that I couldn't show you before."

TANNER AND PAULINE had reached the redbrick building. Tanner walked up to the solid steel door. There was a recess in the center of it. He was wearing a heavy cameo ring with the face of a Greek warrior on it.

Pauline watched as Tanner pressed the ring hard into the recess, and the door began to open. The room was enormous, filled with huge computers and television screens. At a far wall were generators and electronics, all linked together with a control panel in the center.

Tanner said, "Princess, meet Prima. This is ground zero. What you and I have here is something that's going to change lives forever. This room is the command center of a satellite system that can control the weather in any area of the world. We can cause storms anywhere. We can create famines by stopping rain. We can fog in airports. We can manufacture hurricanes and cyclones that would stop the world's economy." He smiled. "I've already demonstrated some of our power. A lot of countries have been working on weather control, but none of them has solved it yet." Tanner pressed a button, and a large television screen lit up. "What you're seeing here is a technical advance that the army wishes it had." He turned to Pauline and smiled. "The only wild card that prevented Prima from giving me perfect control was the greenhouse effect, and you took care of that beautifully." He sighed. "Do you know who created this project? Andrew. He really was a genius." Pauline was staring at the massive equipment.
