Chapter 17

Agent Farmer pushed past Marla and a few other girls that had been hovering ten feet behind her. If these had been men like in the old days, she would have been very nervous to be this alone. With the low number of agents left there was no such thing as a partner anymore. She was relying on the girls being peaceful. She walked into a living room and looked at the occupants there. All young girls.

She headed down a hallway that had several doors. She started opening doors. The second door she opened had several very pregnant girls in it. "What's that?" She asked.

"Those are just some of the girls." Marla replied. "Are you going to tell me they are all overweight or are you going to level with me? Those girls look pregnant to me. The weight is centered in their abdomens like a pregnant girl."

"There is nothing illegal about that." Marla replied.

"Don't give me that bull!" You KNOW the government has been searching frantically all over the world for any means of re-populating humanity. If it's not illegal, it's at the least very immoral to hide the presence of a man.

Fred was very nervous. He was standing outside an office in the White House in Washington D.C... He had been whisked away to Jacksonville and flown up to Washington in a matter of a few hours.

Some lady named Special Agent Schuman had left him here while she went into an office. He was left standing awkwardly waiting for about ten minutes when the door opened and Schuman motioned him into the office.

A woman stuck out her hand to shake and said, "How do you do, I am President Nancy Bellows? I think you may be the only hope mankind has."

"Yes Mam." I said nervously.

"Sit down and lets have a little talk." President Bellows said.

Fred sat down at the same time as Agent Schuman.

"We have a serious problem which you should be more than aware of. People have been looking all over our planet looking for a male human. We don't know why or who caused it, but it seems that except for you, there seeems there are no males anywhere. Even male babies died in their wombs." President Bellows said.

"I know a little about what caused it all." I said.

"You do?" President Bellows said.

"Now Fred, I doubt your science fiction story should be brought up now." Agent Schuman said.

"It's not a story. It happened. Do you have a better explanation?

You will see that not only did I survive, but also I am not a typical young man." I said peevishly.

"What's this all about?" President Bellows said.

I started explaining the story of meeting the Overseers and what they had said. I particularly stressed what the Overseers had said about overpopulation and the potential destruction of our planet by our stupidity. That we were a pestilence, more than an advanced species.

This was mankind's last chance.

"All very interesting, but not very likely. Everything that has happened can be explained by the blue plague." President Bellows said.

"Except for two things, the origin of the plague and my abilities." You can't explain them." I said. I was getting upset and was tired of these people not believing me.

"We could banter this all day long, it's not helping us repopulate the planet. We are taking you to Bethesda where they are set up to take sperm from you and start repopulating our country. The U.S. Must be first or we could be in trouble or left behind." President Bellows said.

"Sorry Mam, but that's not going to happen. I tried explaining that to Agent Schuman here when she kidnapped me from my home." I said.

"What? You weren't kidnapped. She was ordered to do everything she could to find a male and she did that. She was ordered to bring you here. That's not kidnapping." President Bellows said.

"That's a matter of opinion, YOURS. I was forcibly taken from my home. I have broken no laws that I have ever heard of. As far as I am concerned, that's kidnapping and I will do nothing to help you." I said.

"We will see about that!" I am the President and I am ordering you to do what I say. You can refuse all you want; I will just have you delivered there by a few Army Women." President Bellows said.

"You can do that, but you cannot make me do what you want." I said.

"We will see about that. We will make you do what we need. I don't understand. Most boys your age would love to help us. I thought all males wanted to 'get it on' so to speak. President Bellows said.
