Some time later, in an apartment somewhere in Los Angles, Sloan awaited the arrival of Walters and Ed. It had been days since Tom was captured, and they now had a plan to rescue him.
Hearing the doorbell ring, and thinking they were there, she answered the door.
"Excuse me, Miss," said the young man standing in his Postal Delivery Uniform, "I'm looking for a Walter Atwood."
"No one here by that name," she said.
"I went to his former address, got the runaround, until someone whispered in my ear that he might be here."
"Who was it?"
"A young man. I think his name was Shane. Anyway he ran off before I could ask him anything."
At that moment, Atwood and Tate returned.
"There's a parcel for you," said Sloan to Walter.
"Sign here," said the delivery boy.
After tipping him, Walter opened the parcel, taking out the DVD and the small note which said, "I thought you might be interested."
They had to scrounge around for a DVD player. After all, this was back around 1998, and they were not as common as now. Finally, they sat around, listening to the scientists, seeing them get on the ship, and all what John had seen.
"Do you know what this means?" asked Sloan.
"It puts the theory of evolution to shame," said Ed, "I wonder if the 1.6rs know."
"If they did, and it came out that our great grandparents and grandparents were reproducing people to fight the Nazis, then it would put us on the same plane as them."
"You mean the Dominants?"
"No the Nazis. It would hurt to find that we think like them."
"I don't think so," said Walter, "the Nazis were in favor of world domination as were the Japanese prior to Nineteen Forty Five. They probably had a project like this, but probably killed all who worked on it." He shuffled through some files. "Yes here it is. Hasn't been put on the computer yet. Got this from a friend of mine, actually sort of a great uncle. Prisoner of War."
Sloan and Ed read the file. The hand that wrote it was shaky and what they read filled them with horror. "Gene splicing. Unarmed prisoners sent out in the jungle to be hunted down by Japanese youth. One's who killed the most given special privileges, women brought to the camp."
"Fortunately the U.S. Marines got there before any further damage was done. They had to take the children to a special school. Too dangerous to be in society. Too dangerous to reproduce."
He handed them another paper, written in Japanese with a picture of a Buddhist Monastery. "It seemed that the children, the male children were persuaded to take vows of celibacy The Japanese government put a lid down on them. They did not want a repeat of World War Two either."
:"And the girls?" asked Sloan.
"Not that many of them. It seemed they had sort of a trial by combat. The fittest survived."
Ed almost gagged.
They looked at the package again, the one with the DVD. The postmark was somewhere in Mexico. Yes, somewhere in Mexico, a dominant dared to tell the truth. That the dominants were a result of an anti Hitler experiments.
"Do you what this means?" asked Sloan.
"What?" Ed looked at her.
"It means there might be peace between our two species or sub species."
They could only hope.
