Chapter 6 -
"Hey Foster, I was doing a search of the quatrains to see if old Nostradamus came up with anything and I got three different ones..." Eddie said excitedly over the phone to Cade.
"Go on," replied Cade interrupting Eddie in mid sentence.
"Ok the first one, Quatrain 81, Century 6 "The Man Twice Blessed will cross paths with the man from the stars who desires an existence but is pursued by the fox." Quatrain 5 Century 3 "Beyond the valley of the moon, the hunt by the fox will undertake desperate measures to ensure the capture of the man from the stars. But the third one..." said Eddie as he looked at the words on the computer screen.
"What about the third one, Eddie?" asked Cade impatiently.
"The third one says "The saviour and the man from the stars must yield to the fox, aft which the pursuit is transposed," Eddie read of the computer recognising the impatience in his friend's voice.
"Well the first two lines of that quatrain are self explanatory, not quite sure what the last two mean as of yet but if you take the three quatrains together..." Eddie continued unaware that Cade was now pacing up and down.
"So Forrester and I should give ourselves up to Fox is that what you are saying Eddie?" Cade said suddenly stopping his pacing.
"Maybe. But I think contacting Fox is dangerous," replied Eddie.
"I already contacted Fox," Cade said.
"You did what? Didn't I tell you to wait..." Eddie went into a tirade but Cade wasn't listening.
Cade saw Scott and Paul approaching. "Gotta go," He said into the phone hanging up once again on Eddie.
"Foster?...Foster!" exclaimed Eddie as he heard the sound of the dial tone. He turned back to his computer and wondered why he had agreed to help Cade in his quest.
"Mr Foster," Scott said to Cade.
"We have to give ourselves up," Cade said bluntly to the two men.
"What?" exclaimed Paul and Scott.
"I can't explain it right now but we must give ourselves up to Fox," replied Cade.
"No way are we giving ourselves up," replied Scott in anger.
"Mr Foster. Scott and I just want to be left in peace so that we can find Jennie and be together..." Paul said softly.
"With all due respect, Paul but I have a mission here and it is to stop the planet from being destroyed..." Cade said before being interrupted by his cell phone ringing.
"Yeah," he said into the phone.
"Foster, I heard over the police scanner that Fox is on his way. His ETA is approx. 30 minutes. What are you gonna do?" asked Eddie wishing he had remembered to renew his prescription of Lithium.
"I dunno Eddie. Paul and Scott don't want to get involved. Can't say that I blame them but if Nostradamus predicted this then we must be on the right track," Cade said.
"Can you talk Paul and Scott into giving themselves up?" asked Eddie.
"I doubt it. They are afraid of what Fox has planned for them," replied Cade watching Paul and Scott who were deep in conversation with each other.
"What about the Gua have planned for us?" stated Eddie.
"I know, Eddie, I know. I'll call you back," Cade said hanging up the phone as Scott and Paul walked over to him.
"Mr Foster, my father and I have been talking and we came to a decision," Scott said.
"And?" asked Cade.
"If you can guarantee that Fox won't harm us we will give ourselves up," replied Scott.
"When I spoke to Fox he didn't make any promises. But I'll try to get an answer from him when I call him again," replied Cade.
"Mr Foster, my son and I have been on the run from Fox for the last 15 years. We have been more or less successful in avoiding him but the times that he has captured us he has made it clear that I... we are the enemy," Paul said. He shuddered as he remembered the times that Fox had him in custody. Fox frightened him more than anything else and there was nothing he could ever say to Fox to stop the government agent from giving up from looking for him.
"I understand Paul but we have a common cause here," Cade said. Paul nodded and watched as Cade dialled the Fox's number.
