Under the shade of eucalyptus trees, Karl Svenson and his men were skinning a crocodile. His cousin, Gustave le brun stood by, watching. On the edge of the clearing was Igor the Cossack, who had recently arrived from South Asia, with camels to trade. Gustave did not like Igor, since even the least offensive Cossack was a government spy. Gustave had questions about some government pollicies, especially copncerning mescegenation. Here in the Great South Seas, where the Germanic Empire held sway for generations, most of her citizens had to live perpetualy in the shade, covered head to toe in white, with broadbrimmed hats to hide their faces. A few, and most of these being Cossacks, did not have this problem. This, Gustave had discovered, was becasuse of their asiatic ancestors, whose darker skins seemed to protect them from the damage of long exposure to the sun. Karl was just leary of his gun, since he and his men had never learned how those things worked.Then there was the issue of slaves. Surely, any good Viking should have slaves? But, said the High Command, that meant risking mescegenation - whatever that was. So Germanic peasants and tribesmen were regularly carried off, even by adventurous Incas, and just as often traded away, sometimes to rescue Latin hostages. And while the Latin Fascisti were suppposed to be alies, they allowed Jews to thrive in their midsts, and didn't outlaw mescegenation, either. Worse, the one nation with the most slaves, the Confederated Tribes, encouraged mescegenation.Of course the Seminole didn't keep slaves, and the New Empire didn't even enslave captives, but otherwise they were part of the Confederacy, and did not interfere with the slave raids of those who did.
In the morning, Mr. Smith was gone, and the plain was back in working order, almost as if they had never crashed. Why Mr. Smith had left was not as mysterious as how he'd mannaged, in one night, to do such extensive repares, without the required tools and aquipment, let alone any help ( at least, from any of the crue, or other passangers ). A few Scars in the side of the mountain showed where the material came from.
Hasis was blue, which for him was normal. But until he'd met Kothar, a beige colored hominid, he had been unable to elicit trade with less advanced hominids, at least non blue ones, anyway, and his kind thrived on trade. That, and travling by themselves.
So you see, said Reverand Dean, the hand writing is the same , all the way through. What we were looking at was parish records, and other documents, dating back to 1682. It was on that date that one Harold Noakes took up the job of keeping the parish records, and he had just this year retired. At least, so far, so said all the evidents.
We found earlier accounts showing one Haerold Noakes, of Yorkshire, having acquired the farm of his uncle, old Mr. Harrison. That was in 1668. In 1670, Mr. Noakes wed a young Miss Thompson, and they'd had several children. In 1730, Mrs. Noakes died, aged 77. The children had in due time married or moved, no record of any of their deaths could be found for the 18th century.
The oldest died in 1801. By then, Mr. Noakes had remarried, though only by a year. They had several children, and Mrs. Noakes had died in 1870. Noakes had married again, in 1920, this time to a young woman named Harrison. & since 1680, he'd held one office in the church after another. He had also been in public office, for a while. Mr. Noakes was said to be about 70 when he came to Cornwall. No record of the late Mr. Harrison's birth could be found. But his oldest daughter was born in 1489. She married in 1515, and her husband died in 1535. There oldest child was still living in 1650.
Amber wanted to scream: last she remembered, she was being chased by visious dogs, and one mean dope dealer, now she found she'd been out cold for hours, and was sitting on a bus next to some scruffy looking asian, probalby a junky. Where they were, she hadn't a clue. & she felt as though someone was watching her.
" Yes, sir, I made sure he didn't miss his bus. He's being well taken care of, so he won't miss his stop. "
"And we are sure Wisconcin holds none of his associates ? "
Through out the neighborhood were stories of the old White man who whooped Tommy Nguyen. Since the incident was near a public park, and Tommy's knife was still embeded in the base of post where the old man had kicked it, both partners felt compelled to fallow through. But no mention of the incident had been made at any police station, and both participants had disapeared.
Paul Jackson and Ron Hamilton had been friends since before Basic Training. There stint in Vietnam came in useful, now that they served on the San Francisco police force. The fact that Ron was Black, and Paul White made it difficult for younger imigrants to realize they both spoke Vietnamese.
The old man was such an easy mark : Tommy reached out, knife in hand, quick as a flash for the turist't throat. He felt a sudden jolt, as the earth and sky exchanged places, then landed with a thud on his back.
& actually, what my son asked for, I either printed up, or can't get for sveral minutes of searching, or ... ? - one was a piece like this, only dealing with those whom the aliens choose to leave on this earth ... I also have detective stories, et c.
