Return to Carbon Creek

Part 220 Shocks

The news of peace in the Middle East shocked many people. The leaders of the Arab nations were at first enraged and then ragmatic. The offer of technical support was enough to make many reconsider war. For most of the nations needed water far more then they needed territory and the idea of turning their desserts into tropical paradises was almost too good to be true. However, for the moment they were at least considering the idea.

Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Across the world, Dr. Mengel watched the news and frowned. It seemed that the Vulcan had made peace possible. This could put a damper on his plans. He would wait and see what his young protegee had to report. He had no doubt that Khan would bring much needed intelligence on the Vulcan. He had to know what those pointy-eared pains in the backsides were up to. It would not due for them to suddenly decide Earth had promise. After all, they had gone to such trouble to see that the High Command was otherwise occupied with the Andorians. It would really be a shame if that war did not bear fruit. He hated Vulcans they were too intelligent and to curious. No they needed to be kept away from earth at all costs. At least until he had found a way to produce his super soldier. Then it might be interesting to see who would win a fight between them. Vulcans were strong and logical but these humans had cunning few species could match as well as a drive to survive that was amazing. His human super solders would help his people conqure the galaxy and no one would ever enslave them again. The Doctor looked up as Khan came in walking hand and hand with Elise Now that could be a problem. It would not due for Khan to love his mates. They must be interchangeable.

“What have you learned Khan.” The doctor demanded.

Khan’s smile faded and he became all business. “Doctor Grayson is a pacifist. I cannot see how he can be a threat. He is clearly not the leader you thought. He is creating an insular community. I do not believe he intends to continue to advice the president. He clearly feels self conscious doing so.” Khan lied with a straight face. He had done a lot of thinking on his way back and Dawn was right. Dr. Mestral Grayson was a valuable asset and ally. He would keep Dawn and his chid safe. Therefore, to that end Khan would paint him as a harmless excentric. He would not risk his handler learning the truth.

“He did not help with the peace process?”

Khan laughed at this. “No, He went to play with his rockets. Two china men helped with that. I think they were Reds.”

Mengel watched him with care. However, he did not detect any deicet. Khan believed his report. He wondered. Time would tell if the youth assessment was correct. “Alright dismissed Khan.” Oh, by the way there is a guest in your quarters.

Khan stiffened bur forced himself to play the game. “Yes sir.” Khan allowed hinsef to be pulled away.

As soon as they were out of earshot.

“Khan he has found your brother and he is waiting for you in your rooms.”

Khan stopped and suddenly smiled. “Good, I was worried for him. How are you?”

Elise smiled and kissed him on the cheek whispering. “I am pregnant Khan.”

He grinned and kissed her soundly. “Well then let us go tell Jhan he is to be an uncle.”

The two of them headed to his rooms hand in hand never seeing Karl watching them with anger in his eyes.

He gave his word. Damn him he will not have my wife. Karl began to plot how to eliminate his rival. He would not let Khan keep his beloved wife she was his and Khan had his choice of women.
