Chapter 16

Robert left and went looking for Kathy, when he felt a presence of three men out on the highway. Robert went to the large front window and saw the three men but he did not see the rifle. He was about to enter into the mind of one of them, when the rifle shot hit him in the chest, knocking him to the floor. The three men then climbed over the fence and began

to approach the house when the intense fear from Sally and Sam hit them in an enormous wave. The men retreated quickly, shaking from head to toe. They got in their car and sped away.

Robert lay on the floor on his back. The bullet had passed completely through his body, severing one of the arteries near his heart. Robert was still conscious and he immediately entered his second level, knowing where to find the room concerning

his body. The information he received was not good. He was bleeding internally and would die in approximately eighteen minutes. Robert left his mind and screamed out for Kathy. Kathy was in the backyard picking up pecans from their pecan tree when she heard Robert's call. She ran to him and cried: "Oh Robert! Oh no, no!"

"Help me ... There's no time to spare." "What can I do?"

"Help me get to the computer. It's my only chance." Kathy manage

to get Robert up. He was bleeding profusely down his chest and back.

Kathy put his arm over her shoulder and got

him to the computer room, sitting him down before the computer. Kathy

picked up the helmet and helped him put it on. Robert's hands were

shaking too badly to type. He told Kathy what to type: "Take me to the

fourth level for ten minutes. No time to explain." Kathy typed the

message and Robert entered his mind, traveling as quickly as he could

to the fourth level. Kathy ran out of the room, extremely shaken. She

was searching for some bandages.

The fourth level was only a short distance from the third and when Robert arrived, he found that there was no confines. This was the room of eternity. This was the last level. Robert searched for information but non~ came. Robert was beginning to feel faint and was passing out in his own mind. The last thing he remembered was a large ball of fire rolling toward

him as he began to experience the act of creation itself. Robert died and the computer recognized his death. The computer could still sense his remaining consciousness, still there in the fourth level and the computer quickly analyzed the situation

and transferred its beeping into an extremely high pitched signal at a very loud volume. Robert's remaining consciousness was attracted to the sound and slowly, Robert's consciousness became stronger and stronger. His heart began to beat again

and the bullets wounds begin to heal up seemingly by themselves. The computer waited for Robert's consciousness to attain its usual emitance and then the computer began its signal for Robert to return. Kathy returned with a handful of bandages

and ripped off Robert's shirt in search of the wounds. There was blood

but she could not find the wounds. She was confused. The computer

recognized her entrance and sent her a message:

"Please stand by. I'm trying to bring him out."

Robert did not follow the computer's lead. The computer tried

again and again, but Robert was engulfed in the flaming ball of

creation.

For now, there was no escape. Kathy checked Robert's pulse and it

was fine. She typed to the computer: "Why isn't he coming out? He had

bullet holes but they are gone now."

"If he was wounded and now is healed, he has found something very

special in the fourth level. I have failed to retrieve

him. Whatever he has found has complete control of him now.

I will continue my attempts to retrieve him."

An hour passed and Kathy could wait no longer. She called for an ambulance and ordered the robots into submission. When the ambulance arrived, she switched the front gate remote, allowing it to enter. Before they arrived, she removed the helmet and switched off the computer. The ambulance left with Robert and Kathy ordered the robots back on guard, She found the keys to the corvette and left immediately for the hospital, crying as she went.

A red Ford was approaching her from behind and attempted to pass

until it suddenly rammed her on the left side, knocking her off the

road. She slammed on her brakes, but it was too late. She met head on

with a large oak tree alongside the

Power Mind-Reis pg. 110

road. The robot in the back had reacted with the first sign of danger

but before it could locate the source of danger,

the car had hit the tree, knocking the robot out of commission.

Two men jumped out of the red Ford and pulled Kathy from the

wreck. Her face was all bloodied and cut up. Her face had gone through

the windshield. She was taken to the airport where the four of them

boarded a private jet and began their journey to Russia.

The three men were Russian KGB. The KGB had been informed of the

valuable qualities of the wife chosen by Robert from

a CIA double agent. The Russians knew quite a few details. They knew

enough to kill Robert before attempting to abduct Kathy.

On the jet, they tried to bandage Kathy as best they could to stop the bleeding, but Kathy had several deep cuts. Her

nose was shattered and contorted. After thirty minutes on the jet, she regained consciousness and cried out in pain. There was morphine on board and she was given an injection. Before the drug took effect, Kathy tried to reach Robert but there

was no reply, She cried in her agony as she drifted into numbness.

Robert had been on the operating table for quite a while.

The doctors tried everything they could to revive him but it was

useless. They sent him for a CAT scan and it was revealed that he was

deeply into a coma. They provided him with a room and started I.V.

When Robert first arrived, they stripped him in search for a

wound but they could find no source for all the blood. They were

puzzled. They tried to reach someone at his home, but no one answered.

When the rifle shot had hit, Two hundred miles away, Kristal had felt the sudden impact and was greatly concerned. She sat down in a chair and concentrated her psychic ability on Robert, but she could only receive Robert's agony. She ran to her parents and told them that Robert was in great trouble. Her parents believed her and the first thought that entered their minds

was the great debt they would always owe Robert. They attempted to call but there was no answer. Shane went to his bedroom

and loaded up his shotgun and his revolver. He shoved the revolver into his belt and carried the shotgun with extra ammo into

the living room. Cindy took one look at the shotgun and said:

"Shane! ... you could get killed."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Kristal stood up and said" "Daddy, I'm coming to." Both parents responded: "No you're not!"

"But you won't be able to find him without me." Shane thought for a few moments and finally said: "All right, but you stay in the car at all times. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Shane started for the door and both Cindy and Kristal

followed. Shane turned around. "Cindy, there is no need for

you to go. I want you to stay here by the phone in case we

need help."

"Ok, I understand, but call me every chance you get. Don't

Power Mind-Reis pg. 112

leave me to worry." Kristal and Shane got in there car and left.

After three hours, they arrived at Robert's house. Kristal felt

no presence and instructed her father to drive in the direction of the

hospital. With her guidance, they arrived

at the hospital and went directly to his room. Shane was very

suspicious. He was carrying the revolver. Kristal ran to Robert's

side. She tried to reach him but his mind was a blank. Kristal took

his hand and said: " What's wrong with him Daddy?"

"Let's find out." Shane pushed the button for the nurse.

The nurse arrived and asked if she could be of help. Shane spoke to her politely: "We are friends of Robert and would like to know exactly 'what happened to him."

"Well, he came in, in this condition and we have not been able to

revive him or reach anyone at his home. He is in a deep coma and we

will know if he is likely to come out of it within the next few

weeks."

"Did anyone come in with him?"

"No, but he seem to have been covered with someone else's blood." Kristal looked at Shane and hollered: "Kathy!" Kristal began searching for Kathy. She finally located her moving at

a great speed away. She could not enter her consciousness.

She looked at Shane and said: "Kathy is alive, but I think someone is taking her far away." The nurse looked at the child and said: "Who is Kathy?" Shane responded: "Dh, never mind, it's another story."

Power Mind-Reis pg. 113

"Oh well, stay as long as you like. Your company will probably do him some good. Try holding his hand. I must go now. I have duties to attend." Kristal went over and picked up Robert's hand again and tried very hard to reach him. She received a sudden flash if a flaming ball of fire. She gasped and dropped his hand. "Daddy, I think he's trapped." Shane picked up the phone and called home, explaining the situation. He told Cindy that he was going to stay and guard Robert as long as he could.
