CHAPTER TWO

Special Agent Stanley Chen stepped off the train at the Civic Center BART Station. It was only a short uphill walk to the Federal Building near Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco. He always enjoyed this calming walk among the various city and county government buildings, especially early in the morning when the air was sometimes foggy and always fresh. It helped brace him for another stressful day at the FBI. And today was going to be even more stressful—he had a meeting with the special agent in charge at 9 a.m. Meetings with bosses rarely go well, he mused. Wonder what’s up?

Agent Chen went directly to his supervisor’s office a floor above his own. His fellow special agents knew where to find him. The wristwatch that each agent wore broadcast its individual code to a central command station at all times. This was for their protection, or so their supervisors wanted them to believe. Chen thought there was something more nefarious going on but couldn’t prove otherwise. He entered the office and was immediately admitted to the inner sanctum.

“Good morning, Stanley. Coffee?”

“No, thank you, sir. I’m good.”

They both sat. “I’ll get right to the point. We have information out of Seattle that there is a lot of human trafficking going on in that area. People are coming from the Far East, and we think they are being transported in container ships. Since you are fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese, you are a perfect fit to go undercover to try to find out who is doing this smuggling. We think the containers are offloaded before the ships reach port, because we have never seen nor caught any unauthorized people aboard ship. You will be able to use any personnel from the Seattle office you need, but they’re a small unit, so use them sparingly. Your partner will be a young woman who is also fluent in Chinese languages.”

Chen nodded. As a second-generation Chinese-American, he certainly was the perfect fit. And having a partner with similar skills was ideal.

“What is the timetable of this operation?”

“You have a few days to get your affairs in order and pack your field gear. Go downstairs and get some additional clothing—you may need to be a longshoreman or a fisherman for a few days. Leave as soon as you’re ready, and when you get to Seattle, check in with the office and meet your partner. Get a car downstairs with unidentifiable plates in case someone gets suspicious.”

“Would this be a fisherman’s car, sir?”

His supervisor smiled. “That’s a good point. What would you suggest?”

“My brother is a real fisherman,” Chen said. “The smell of his pickup is quite authentic, as is his fishing gear. I might be able to use it for a while if we can give him an old beater he can drive around the wharf. I’ll ask him.”

The two men stood up. “Let me know if it works out. Good luck on your drive north. I hear the roadways are crowded. And be sure to take your masks. The virus is on its way up the coast. It will be here shortly and we’ll all be wearing masks again soon.”

“Thank you, sir. I’ll be in touch.” Chen took the stairs down to his floor and approached his desk. He quickly filed a few papers and put his coffee cup away. He wouldn’t be needing it for a while.

“Hey, Stanley, what’s happening?”

“Hey, Ronald. Going on special assignment. Feed my goldfish, would you?”

Ronald rolled his eyes. “I’m so tired of hearing about that imaginary goldfish. Why don’t you get something else?”

“Okay, feed my cat. If you don’t, he’ll scratch you.”

“Nah, you don’t have a cat. There isn’t a cat box under your desk. Try again.”

“Um, tarantula?”

“It can die.”

Stanley Chen laughed as he left his desk. People, he thought. In spite of all the chaos around us, people make life worth living. He pulled out his cell phone as he exited the building. Time to call his brother.

Maya rose early, feeling much more stable than she had the previous day. Choosing sensible clothing, she attempted to dress as Rose and Ellie had. She found new food on her dining table—fruit and a few sweets along with a pot of hot tea. Eagerly, she consumed the morning meal. She wondered how this food was made. In the ocean, food was always swimming by, and plants were plentiful. She never had to worry about gathering food.

Hearing a knock at the door, Maya went to open it. She found Rose and a Telosian man. He was quite tall with blue eyes and medium-length blond hair. Maya tried not to stare at his extremely long legs, which were covered by tan pants. She was going to have to get used to not seeing tails on people. A colorful shirt and brown sandals completed his simple attire.

“Good morning, Maya. I’m Aaron, your new teacher. I enjoy working with the travelers who come through Telos on their way to other destinations.”

“Come in, please, and have a cup of tea.”

“Thank you.” The two Telosians sat on her long couch and relaxed for a few moments.

“Do you have a school that I am to go to?” Maya asked after serving the tea.

Aaron laughed. “No, we’ll meet here in your living quarters. We don’t have enough travelers to make a big enough class requiring a special space. Rose and I will be your home teachers. Before we start, please let us know if we use any words you don’t understand. Telepathy and speech are obviously very different ways of communicating.”

“I will, of course. I am not known to be shy.”

Aaron smiled. “Good. First you will learn about Telos, which was created and settled by Pleiadians and later welcomed survivors from the sinking continent of Lemuria. Later you will learn about the citizens of the surface of Earth. Telos has five levels and you will visit all of them soon enough. Think of them like levels of the sea, which has different lighting and temperatures at different depths. Different plants and fish develop at different depths. Telos is like that also.”

Aaron sipped his tea and continued. “Most of our one and a half million people live on the first level, which is where we are now. This level also contains administration buildings and the main temple. The second level is where production and manufacturing take place. The schools for children and adults are there, and many of our citizens live there also.”

“The third level is my favorite level,” Rose said. “It contains hydroponic gardens where all our food is grown. Some people like to work with their hands in the soil, so we also encourage this food-growing process. Additionally, it comes in handy for those travelers transitioning to Earth where most vegetables and fruit trees are grown in soil. We don’t need to know how this is done, but travelers do. We’ll take you on a field trip soon to this level.”

“Our fourth and fifth levels are devoted to nature,” Aaron said. “In addition to supporting our own ecology, we’ve preserved many of the plants and animals that no longer exist on Earth. We have a large park in which we hold celebrations. Our celebrations center around the solstices, the equinoxes, and the great migration from Lemuria to Telos. Telosians look forward greatly to these gatherings.”

“There is actually a level above the first level,” Rose said. “But you won’t learn about that right now. It is not a place most people visit.”

“You seem to be very in touch with the cycles of Earth,” Maya said. “In the sea, we were aware of the changing sunlight and temperatures, but we really didn’t need to know why it all happened.”

“You will find many things are different,” Rose said. “For example, if you wanted to go from one level of your ocean to another, you just swam up or down. Here we have different methods of physical transportation. If we want to go to another level, we have elevators, small one-person vehicles, or we can take the Tube, which goes much faster. On each level, there are moving sidewalks to help those who are loaded down with bags of food.”

“There is one thing that is really confusing to me,” Maya said. “In the ocean we were physical beings in a physical ocean, but most people couldn’t see us. Here you live as physical beings in a solid mountain. It’s not a hollow mountain with a big air bubble inside. How is this possible?”

Aaron smiled at her. “It all has to do with consciousness. As a mermaid, you lived in the fifth and fourth dimensions at a higher vibration than the people of the land, even of the third-dimensional fish in the ocean. When you caught fish, you reached out from your dimension to capture the fish. You did it without thinking. Many of your people did it without even knowing that’s what they were doing. When you interacted occasionally with humans, you utilized the fourth-dimensional part of yourselves. Only those third-dimensional humans with fourth-dimensional consciousness could see you. The Mer people were very special and rare beings. We miss them.”
