Chapter 2
There were extenuating circumstances. Yes, that is what he had been told why representation at the meeting was so low. It was not a slight, he had been told, but Mustapha/Steve instinctively knew something was wrong.
What was wrong was the nature of the meeting that morning. The delegates, actually the sycophants who were so afraid the 'gravy train' would soon be over for them, decided to hitch their wagons to this new horse. Mustapha/Steve was having no part in this and walked out.
Outside the room he took a deep breath. He was mad, angry, confused. Why had he come? Something just made him, but it could not be for this. These cretins were sick. All they wanted was money and power. They had no care for or concern for humanity, only themselves.
He walked down to the lobby of the Hotel to leave. A car came up, he heard his name called to get in. Inside was an old Chinese man and a beautiful young woman. He was not only drawn to her but felt this man was the reason he was here.
Steve was called then by a name he had only heard once before. His real father called him by that name. He was very young but would always remember it. Li Wu knowing it answered any questions Steve might have posed, called it out to him. Steve knew inside this was his destiny.
Li Wu knew it too. In the hope thing might get better he had delayed his next action. Steve would play a key role. It would not be easy, in many ways it would give many false hope but his enemies had given Wu little choice. Now he would go on the offensive and Steve would be at the forefront. Mei was the bait, Steve would be the sword, all he now needed to provide was the means to begin his plan.
They went to Wu's plane, all boarded and soon they were airborne. Wu made some generic introductions. "You will see your father eventually Mustapha. We all have things that must be done. I, no, we need you to accept the role in this war without question, without concern or remorse. Know only that what will be done is necessary."
He was not sure why he replied how he did. It was automatic. "I hear and Obey Master Wu."
"We go to Damascus. There you will start. There are those who will be threatened by what you do. Use the people to carry out what you do. If the people demand something no military or government on this planet may long go against them If the people believe you do things for them and not for yourself they will protect you. Mei will also arrange for an alternate for you. Read this, it is the things you must do initially."
