Tabula Rasa, Madagascar.

He tried to convince himself that he was the all-seeing eye that saw everything that was going on, nothing would go undetected. John Vendrick III gazed at one of four, beveled screens in front of him while he rolled a thick gold coin between his fingers. His thoughts was interrupted when the holophone chirped.

The call was unexpected and not welcomed. He leaned forward in his chair and pushed a button. Arik Zimki`s glimmering face slowly faded in on the holoscreen in front of him.

“John.”

John swallowed hard and nodded.

“Arik.”

Arik Zimki was of one the top leader of another mega complex, Helder Ster, just outside of Johannesburg. A number of different leaders of a selected group of mega complexes around the world had secretly joined forces to expand their cooperation without the United Nations prying eyes, and Arik was one of the more prominent voices within the group.

“I have discussed with the group regarding the past weeks turn of events with the United Nations increased interest in Tabula Rasa’s cloning program” he looked straight at John, “And to speak clearly we are worried. According to our sources of information that we have is that the United Nations is preparing to press charges against you and will force you to hand over the responsible for the banned cloning programs.”

John was speechless with surprise and drummed nervously with his fingers on the table and damned himself the same second when he caught himself doing it. He clenched his fist and put it in his lap, out of sight for Arik. He was just about to answer when Arik continued.

“And we all agree that this brings too much attention to you and indirectly to us.” Arik's stone-colored gray eyes stared straight at John. John twisted.

“I know that this was not the most advantageous process, but I have put plans into action that will neutralize the threat” John smiled stiffly, “It will actually be resolved quite soon.”

Arik`s face glittered when the signal for the hologram experienced interference.

“You better. We can’t afford any mistakes. The group is nervous that this attention can ruin our ongoing plans.”

John nodded stiffly but inside he was raging. Arik had discussed with the group without him. It was highly irregular. When the group met, all nine members should be included, all, without exception.

Arik`s mouth pressed into a thin line.

“One more thing.”

John blinked when Arik leaned forward.

“That lawyer that we have kept our eyes on. He seems to have extensive plans regarding your eventual indictment.”

John felt like he was standing in front a teacher that were lecturing him.

“Yes, I'm aware of the problem and also for that problem I'm working on a solution.”

Arik glared at John.

“Just make sure your back is free. We cannot afford mistakes.”

Before John could answer Arik hung up. John remained seated, speechless, before he closed his eyes and grabbed the gold coin.
