“Mike? We just got Linda’s text. Go ahead and give Missy the signal now. Let us know when she has Kahtar’s computer logged into our website and is ready for all hell to break out.”

When Missy got Mike’s signal, she Shifted to her human form, grabbed the garment she’d selected from Kahtar’s bedroom closet, slipped that on, and then went out to the living room where Kahtar was watching the news on TV. She made his television set disintegrate into thousands of little pieces, getting his attention immediately, and in Pashto said, “Mullah Ahmed Kahtar! Although we have not met before, I think you probably know who I am.”

After getting over his initial shock at her dramatic entrance into the room, he tried to jump up from his chair but found there was a strange force pushing against his chest, preventing him from doing that. He recognized her, of course. Since she’d spoken in Pashto, he did as well, saying, “Missy McCrea. One of the demons from the United States which I have heard so much about. Are you here to murder me?”

Continuing in Pashto, she said, “No, no! Far from it, this visit. But, if I need to make any return visits, that very well might happen. No, I’m here today because I want to show you what is happening to your terrorist cell in Germany.” She knew where he had placed his phone as well as his laptop computer, which was over on a desk in his office. She used her telekinesis ability to bring both items floating into the room. She set them down on a table which she then made slide across the room so it was in front of Kahtar.

Kahtar said, “I learned today that many of those holy followers of Allah have been illegally arrested by the German authorities. Am I correct that you and Oliver Bessom are somehow responsible for this?”

Missy had booted up the laptop and was now logging into Marie’s website. She let Mike know and then waited a few moments. Then she said, “I will let you speak directly to Oliver … I’m dialing his phone number right now. He only speaks English but … here he is!” After putting the phone on speakerphone, she put it down on the table and turned the laptop so Kahtar could see its screen. Switching to English, she said, “Oliver? Do we have a good connection? I’m here with Mullah Ahmed Kahtar.”

On the screen, Oliver Bessom and Candace Axtell could be seen. They were standing behind three men who were kneeling. The men on their knees wore handcuffs and blindfolds. It was obvious they were helpless. Oliver removed the blindfolds and Kahtar was very surprised to recognize Talib Mansoor. He did not recognize the others but assumed they were two of Talib’s men.

In English, Oliver said, “Hi, Missy! I’m glad you’re available since you can translate for me. We have Talib, Musa and Tabish with us but they have not understood any of my questions. I’m putting you on speakerphone.” He waved with the hand in which he was holding his phone, then handed that to Candy. “My questions are concerning the terrorist group he’s been leading over here. We think these are the last three not yet arrested for that WIJO bombing in Munich but we want to be certain.”

Missy first translated what Oliver had said to Kahtar and then she continued in Pashto, saying, “Talib? Have my friends Oliver and Candace explained to you about our hellhounds yet? We like to use them when we want to get the truth.”

Chapter Seventeen

Mar 20, 2020

Talib had been looking around ever since the blindfold had finally been removed. He knew he’d been taken in a helicopter to some remote location but had no idea where it was. The flight had been more than an hour. Then, he’d been brought out into what he could now see was a huge clearing, surrounded by trees. He’d been told Missy McCrea would be calling and that she would have Kahtar with her. Apparently, all of his worst fears had indeed come true. Hearing her speak about hellhounds only added to those fears. He said nothing.

Linda was filming this while Tracy, John and Jesse remained out of sight from her camera. When Missy stopped speaking in Pashto, Linda waited for a few moments. None of their captives seemed willing to say anything so she gave Tracy the signal to begin.

Tracy had John and Jesse in a circle with her but really didn’t need to draw energy from them. She was bursting with power and extended both arms out, pointing toward the far tree line across the clearing and creating a dozen fireballs, maintaining them about six feet off the ground. Then she added a dozen more. And, more after that.

Linda shifted the camera’s view so it was focused on all the fireballs which had suddenly appeared. Then, from beneath what now looked like a wall of flames, animals began appearing. More and more wolves came racing forward, rushing right at the three men kneeling in the midst of the clearing. The screams of terror from the men were drowned out by all the howling which these wolves were doing.

Talib, Tabish and Musa tried to stand, wanting to get away, but since their legs had been tied together and to one another, their mad scrambling only resulted in them all sprawling on the ground instead. The animals seemed to ignore Oliver and Candace while snarling, snapping their fangs, and surrounding the three captives. Just when it appeared their throats would be ripped out, Oliver said something to the beasts and at the last moment they stilled and quieted down. It was obvious he was somehow controlling them.

Oliver said, “Missy, will you ask these men about any others in their group who might still be at large? Or, have we truly captured all of the men responsible for the WIJO attack?” In the background, the fireballs had somehow diminished, with many going out completely.

Missy translated Oliver’s request and, looking at Kahtar, she spoke to him next. “Please order Talib to answer truthfully. Otherwise, our hellhounds are ready to devour him and his men.”

Kahtar was very shaken by the whole scene he’d watched play out before him. He had believed Missy and Oliver were demons before this. He knew they had great powers. But he never imagined they could do all this. Come into his home? Force him to witness what surely was something coming right from hell? He said, “Talib, speak quickly and speak the truth! Are there any members in your group not yet arrested?”

Talib recognized Kahtar’s voice and could see no reason not to answer. He shouted, “No, there is no one! No one! Everyone has been arrested or killed. We three are the last ones remaining. Please … be merciful … turn us over to the German authorities!”

Missy translated this for Oliver but then went on, in Pashto, “WIJO has not shown any mercy. Why should we?” The wolves, meanwhile, continued to threaten. They were very convincing as they circled around the men, snarling and baring their fangs. Unless Oliver stopped them, they were quite clearly going to kill these men, tearing them limb from limb. The ravenous behavior they were showing was totally convincing.

But then Oliver looked into the camera and said, “This time, we will show mercy.” He gestured to the wolves and they reluctantly backed away. He motioned for them to go and slowly, they began returning to where they’d started from. Looking back into the camera, he said, “WIJO must stop all attacks. Otherwise, we will come for the leaders next. We know who you are. We know where you are. We cannot be stopped.”

Missy translated Oliver’s words and added some of her own. “Oliver will give your three terrorists to the German authorities. They will stand trial for their crimes and be punished. But, as I did in England, we want to further demonstrate the power we demons wield. We therefore will send lightning bolts down today. We will send them down to incinerate the warehouse near Leipzig where your weapons and explosives were being stored. All of the inventory belonging to the liquor business which Talib was running for WIJO will be destroyed. This is our last warning. And, these are but small examples of what power we can bring against WIJO. We can find and destroy all of you as well as all the sources WIJO has for wealth here in the Mid-East, just as we’ve done in the U.S., England and Germany.”

Missy then shutdown the laptop and destroyed the phone, melting it with a small fireball. When that went out, she looked over at Kahtar who was cringing in fear. “Don’t make me come back. I promise you will not survive my return. Nor will Shahid Omar Aziz or Mohammad Nabir. Be sure to tell them that.”

Then, in a shimmer of light, she vanished. As the white tunic she’d been wearing drifted down to the floor, Kahtar was finally able to move forward. Slowly, he rose from his chair. He stared at where his phone had been and then at the remnants of his TV. Using his laptop which was still functional, he placed a video call to Aziz.

Missy returned to where Mike, Les and Marsha were still on their conference call with Robert’s team. She had quickly dressed after Shifting back to her human form in the bedroom. “Hey? How did everyone like the show? I thought our team in Germany did a really great job!” She had especially enjoyed the way Tracy’s wall of flames had looked. It had indeed given the impression that the wolves were hellhounds, bursting forth from the fires of hell.

Lieutenant Colonel Schermerhorn said, “We all thought that was epic! We will provide copies to all the WIJO leaders, using Kahtar’s own email account to send it.”

“I added that part about the warehouse being destroyed,” said Missy. “That little embellishment you folks suggested ought to make Tracy very happy. You’re certain there aren’t any people there to be in the way?”

“Yes, we checked with the German authorities. They removed all the evidence and the place should be abandoned now. Of course, Gene and Amanda will be able to scent if anyone is nearby before Tracy starts unleashing any of her lightning bolts.”
