Chapter 21: New Pseudo recruit
An: the dialogue used is as close to the actual dialogue used in the show as possible, until the line " And what did you do to get to the next level?" since that is where the scene ends.
After the killings, Odin is wandering around the camp aimlessly. He is causing fright in everyone. He knows that the feds are on to him, and in a way he has been expecting this. Even, though he likes Andrew, and he likes the fact that he is the God for the most part over these people, he is going to have to sacrifice them all. They have served their purpose, and now it was time to dispose of them. This doesn't even bother him, even the fact knowing they are bringing him a new recruit today.
He gets a call, that they are close to the camp, and he goes to wait in his tent for just the right moment to strike. A few minutes later, he enters the general reception area.
Sabrina is shows him into the tent. "This is our new minister of Information, Odin."
Odin is watching the new woman intently. The woman introduces herself as Sarah Bedford, but he can tell that she is lying.
"Do you need anything?" Sabrina asks calmly.
Sarah looks nervous, and looking around the place expecting something to jump out at her. "No…Thank you, I'm fine."
Odin dismisses Sabrina with a nod of the head, and walks closer to Sarah, making his voice hypnotizing. "Are you?
A look of total confusion shows on Sarah's face. "Excuse me?"
Odin walks a little closer, knowing that this is going to be a hard one, because her mind is definitely else where. "Are you fine?"
"Oh…yeah."
He motions with his hands to a bunch of pillows, "Please have a seat."
She finds a good pillow, and sits down. "Well, yeah, the ride was kind of bumpy, but why did you blindfold us?"
His gaze is on her intently, not blinking, a move he learned from a movie about Jesus. He gives her a soft smile, making sure between words also that he is smiling. " Well, Sarah, the world is a very dangerous place. We all have to protect ourselves. Don't you fear for your safety?"
Sarah looks distracted for a moment, and her eyes shift around the room. "Yes, I do."
Odin wonders what she fears for, what darkness she has seen. He is glad he started with this approach. " Sarah," his voice softens ever so slightly, " tell me do you feel that the people around you don't speak or think like you do?"
Sarah's response is quick. "Yes."
Odin's eyes softens a little, and he blinks ever so slightly, giving her a smile that she can interrupt as confident and scared. " Does that make you feel lonely?
"Yeah..Yeah it does."
His smile widens. " Sarah, everyone here felt just like you, except here we take our knowledge from the father. And that gives us a common bond of strength, love and unity."
Sarah seems to be contemplating this. "Who's the father?"
He can tell she was a curious one, and was prepared for the question. " There are beings at a higher level, Sarah, who have a greater capacity for helping us than we have for helping ourselves."
"Well, how would I meet the father?"
Odin smiles showing his teeth for a second, " You must demonstrate unconditional love, and devotion by ridding yourself of all attachments. We have a disciple who is getting ready to move to the next level soon. Which means there is an opening for a new disciple to enter the experience and begin her work."
Sarah smiles slightly, as if she caught him in a lie, "And what did you do to get to the next level?"
He grins at her, "Sarah, every path to the father is different as though we share things in common, we are also different beings set on different paths, and at the moment we are converging in the middle of our journey." He had expected she would probably try something like that. "If you don't think this is the place for you, then you are free to leave, no one is keeping you here Sarah." Odin is enjoying the fact that she is trying to act so coy, and naïve, when she knows what is going on as well as he does. He actually enjoys this, because he probably wasn't going to recruit her anyway, but it gives him something to do.
She nods. "You are probably right. I am not sure if I am ready for this."
Odin nods. "I will have Marilyn drive you home then, but oh course we will have to blindfold you so that you don't come back when you aren't ready."
