The Tenth Cycle: A Thriller (A Rossler Foundation Mystery Book 1) (44 page)

"Agreed. All right, I see your point. Now that I've guaranteed your safety, are you prepared to come back home and get started?"

Daniel grinned. "Articles of Incorporation were filed in Colorado several weeks ago. All we're waiting on is 501(c)3 status."

"Young man, I think I need to appoint you to my negotiations staff. I'll see what I can do to speed up that approval. The IRS owes me one. I'll try to get that pushed through for you within the next forty-eight hours."

With that, the meeting was adjourned, but it was now late enough that the President's staff had taken it upon themselves to prepare dinner. The entire party retired to a large salon next to the formal dining room, there to have cocktails while waiting for dinner to be served.

Daniel and Sarah were standing to the side, watching the others interact. Sarah asking Daniel about that smile. When he told her she broke into an uncontrollable laugh hitting him on the arm, “Daniel Rossler I hope you were not contemplating actually saying that to the President were you?”

Before Daniel could answer, President Harper who has made his way through the others to join them said, "Rossler, I'd like to congratulate you once again. You and your team did your country proud, not only by making this discovery, but by planning a fair and balanced way to share it. Speaking not only as your President, but also as a human being, I'm proud to be a part of it. But I have one condition."

Daniel raised one eyebrow, thinking that they had already hammered out all the conditions. "What would that be sir?"

"I'd be honored if you and Dr. Clarke would join Mrs. Harper and me at the White House for dinner from time to time.  We'd love to have a personal update of your work, and Dr. Clarke, I know my wife will be as excited to meet you as I have been to make the acquaintance of your outstanding team."

Color flooded Sarah's face, as she stammered an acceptance in behalf of both of them. Unless she had mistaken the intent, she and Daniel had just been invited to become friends with the President and First Lady of the US!

“Oh, by the way,” Harper said. “I understand that you two are engaged? You make a very nice couple. Without being presumptuous, may my wife and I look forward to an invitation to the wedding?”

For Harper, it remained only to meet with the Israeli president. He owed a debt of gratitude, and it never hurt to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. Accordingly, after a comfortable night's sleep at the US Embassy, he presented himself to the formal meeting that had been prearranged. In flowery diplomatic language that was nevertheless sincere, he thanked Israel, and its president personally, for the staggering effort and care they had extended to his citizens. Assuring him that the US would ensure that the discoveries made would be shared equally with Israel, and that anything that posed a danger would be carefully considered before it was released to any country, President Harper exhibited his statesmanship. However, when Harper offered compensation for the monies expended in the operation, a gratified head of the Israeli state clapped him on the upper arm and said, "It was our pleasure." Thus, an obligation was incurred by the US, and Israel was assured of a place in the new world, whatever that would bring.

Three days later the Rosslerites arrived at JFK in great secrecy away from the prying eyes of the press and taken to an unknown location, where all their family and closest friends were waiting for them.
