“Conspiracy to commit murder. Other charges will follow. You have the right to remain silent—”

“This is insane!”

The raccoon eyes are beaming. “Agent Tierney, Mick Gabriel was kept locked up for almost twelve years. How long do you think we can keep the former secretary of state in jail?”

Tierney grins. “For all the crimes he’s committed? I think we can do better than that.”

The two guards drag Borgia kicking and screaming from the office.

Chaney smiles, then calls out, “Now make sure you walk him out by the podium so the press can take a few pictures. And be sure to get his good eye in the shot.”

BOCA RATON, FLORIDA

The black limousine turns south on Rte. 441, heading for the West Boca Medical Center. In the backseat, Dominique Vazquez squeezes Edie’s hand as she watches the news report on the small television.

“…and so, scientists and archaeologists alike remain baffled as to why, for the first time in more than a thousand years, the shadow of the plumed serpent failed to appear on the Kukulcan pyramid’s northern balustrade during today’s vernal equinox. Once again, this is Alison Kieras, Channel 7 News, reporting live from Chichén Itza.”

Edie turns off the set as the limo pulls into the medical complex. One of the armed bodyguards opens the back door, helping Dominique and her mother from the car.

“You seem pretty cheerful today.”

Dominique smiles. “I can feel him.”

“Feel who?”

“Mick. He’s alive. Don’t ask me how, but I can feel his presence in my heart.”

Edith leads her into the hospital, deciding it best not to say anything.

Dominique lies on the examination table, watching the monitor as her doctor runs the ultrasound across her swollen belly. Edie squeezes her hand as the sound of tiny heartbeats thump rapidly from the machine.

“There’s the first one’s head … and there’s the second. Everything looks very good.” The doctor wipes the cream from her stomach with a damp cloth. “So, Mrs.Gabriel, would you like to know the sex of your twins?”

Dominique looks up at Edie, tears in her eyes. “I already know, Doctor, I already know.”

Sixty-five million years ago an asteroid impacts the Earth, destroying the dinosaurs, forever changing the evolution of life on our planet.

Only the object wasn't an asteroid…
