now is it?”
    George looked at the Australian and Cameron.
    “No sir. Actually, there is one more shocking change that I haven’t mentioned.”
    “Well please go on,” Amias insisted.
    “Mr. Riley have you ever heard of the Mayan prophecy for 2012?”
    “Of course I have. The apocalypse they predicted was almost identical to what happened in 2112. I think the entire underground has heard of this.”
    “Well you are right about that part of the prophecy. The tri-lunar equinox did happen as predicted, however; there is a very important part of the prophecy that continues to be ignored. You see, the Mayans never thought our world would come to a complete end. Yes they predicted widespread devastation and death, but they believed civilization would continue. 2012 didn’t mark the end of the world; it represented the end of an age in human consciousness. The Mayan researchers of the old age were 100 years off when they interpreted the Mayan calendar. The end of the age was actually predicted for 2112. Mr. President, we are here to tell you that the former age has passed away and we are now living in the age of superior human conscious awareness.”
    Amias looked at George like he had grown three heads. Then he raised his eyebrows curiously and smiled slightly waiting for George to start laughing. When he didn’t laugh, Amias stood up.
    “Look you can’t just come into the Leader’s office and start spouting off a bunch of ancient new age nonsense. I have many other pressing matters to deal with right now. The last thing I need is to be played for a fool. Who let you all in here by the way!? That person needs to be fired immediately. Please leave now.” Amias demanded.
    “The secretary let us in after I showed her this…” Cameron walked over to Amias who was standing with his hand on the door knob. She stood looking at him only a few inches from his face. Then she slowly slid her hands up over her face then through her hair and she had transformed herself into Mr. Riley.
    “After a few minutes of trying to persuade her to let us meet with you I thought she would respond to this better.” Cameron pointed to her transformed face.
    Amias was speechless and frozen.
    “I’ve got to tell you Mr. Riley, the secretary is sure scared of that face of yours.”
    “What is this!? Take off that mask now!” When she didn’t move Amias wrapped his hand around her Amias face and tried to pull off the invisible mask to no avail.
    “Mr. Riley, please. We’re trying to tell you that there are some of us who have superior abilities unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. I don’t think wearing a mask that looks like your face qualifies as a superior ability. But by your expression I can see that you aren’t completely convinced.” Cameron transformed back into herself and looked over at the Australian.
    “Hey Aussie, why don’t you show him something?”
    “Don’t mind if I do.”
    The Australian, who was seated on one of the chairs to the far right of the room, vanished. Then he suddenly appeared seated at the Leader’s wooden desk. He propped his legs up on the table and leaned back with his arms resting on his head.
    “Hey!” Amias yelled.
    A body guard in the hallway heard Amias’s yell and rushed toward the door to the yellow office when suddenly a rope appeared around his ankles and yanked him up in the air. He dangled there like a giant fish. The trio was trying to conceal their laughter and Amias was stupefied.
    “Agent Higgins! Get down!”
    “I can’t Mr. Riley! What’s going on!”
    “Get him down now!” Amias wasn’t sure who to direct that order to. He looked at Cameron, then the Australian, then George.
    “I said release him this instant or I’ll put all of you in prison!”
    Agent Higgins immediately collided with the ground, face first, and created a comically loud thud. The group watched him in silent amusement as he struggled to get on his feet.
