Chapter 3: problems in the Past, Part I

Pastor William Sanderson thundered as he was preaching against the waste of wealth. He was a local preacher who held tent revivals to preach against social ills. He also hid a drinking problem. He tried to hide it from his congregation but he had been removed from, but months later, he was building a new congregation with his tent revival meetings. He preached against the rich working with the government, especially Wilton Knight, after Wilton had recently signed a contract with the Army to build a prototype that would save lives. The audience cheered and praised God for the message. He stared at the dark haired young man who was watching him preach.

"Good message, Reverend," the man said. "What's your name, my son," the Reverend asked. "Tony Cox, Reverend," Tony responded. "Where do you live?" The Reverend asked. "Nowhere. I worked for Knight Industries until I was fired a month ago, and my old lady took my house from me in the divorce," Tony said, anger and bitterness in his voice.

"Your bitter, my son," the Reverend cautioned. "The Company CEO, Charles Graiman, fired me for irregularities in my division of which I was the lead. I appealed to the Chairman, Wilton Knight, but He upheld my termination," Tony said. "I'll pray for you," the Reverend said putting his hand on the man's shoulder. Tony smiled. "Thank You, Reverend," He replied.

"Call me Rev," William responded. The other man nodded.

Across town, at a military facility, a General walked around the Firebird Trans Am with the light that scanned left to right and back again. Wilton Knight leaned on his cane as his partner Lionel Luthor stared with pride at the prototype. They had spent millions in research and design development before deciding to use the Firebird Trans Am for the body of the prototype vehicle, the Knight Automated Roving Robot, the first to create the first automated vehicle for America.

"Gentlemen," General Sam Maddox said nodding to the two men as the The 7 Joint Chiefs looked at the vehicle with interest. The vehicle's scanner scanned the 7 men in military men. Lionel turned to look at Wilton. "Did you take care of the technician who screwed up the programming?" Wilton asked quietly. Lionel nodded. Lionel then noticed a police officer among the extra security that they had hired.

"Who's the cop?" Lionel asked. Wilton leaned forward on his cane and hid the smile as he saw his son that He had hidden from the world, a cop who was named Michael Arthur Long.

"Gentlemen, are you ready for the future?" Lionel asked…
