^ ^ ^ ^ EL PASO, 2007 It was one of those crystal-clear desert days in mid-spring, not a cloud to be seen in any direction as far as the eye could see... And I could see an awfully long way, seeing as how I was cruising at 30,000 feet in the sleek LearJet that my company uses for business trips.

My family owns a successful drilling company based in Houston, and I’m head of the division. Morgan what’s happening?” Alice asked in a frightened voice.Morgan hugged her to him, “I don’t know for sure honey, but it’s not going to be good, I can feel it.”“I think we all could, when you seemed to be listening we all felt something odd.” Alice looked at Morgan, “What do you need me to do?”Morgan smiled at her and led her down to a small cupboard on the ground floor.
