Tsion Ben-Judah's universal cyber-audience. Naomi personally coordinated the
contact between Chang in New Babylon and the Tribulation Force around the
world.
Having her join the flight to rescue him from New Babylon had been
Chang's idea. Rayford had initially rejected it. He had enough trouble assigning
himself the task of traveling more than seventy-five hundred miles from San
Diego to Petra, then having Abdullah fly him the last five hundred miles to New
Babylon. Combat-trained George Sebastian was better suited, but Rayford
thought the big man had been through enough for a while. There was plenty for
him to do in San Diego, and anyway, Rayford wanted to save George for what
Dr. Ben-Judah called the "battle of that great day of God Almighty," now less
than a year off.
Mac McCullum and Albie, stationed in Al Basrah-little more than two
hundred miles south of New Bab-ylon-stood ready. But Rayford had other things
in mind for them.
Rayford's son-in-law and daughter, Buck and Chloe Williams, both wanted
in on the extraction of Chang from the enemy lair-no surprise-but Rayford was
convinced Buck would soon be more valuable in Israel. As for Chloe, the
International Commodity Co-op always suffered when she was away. And
somebody had to be there for little Kenny.
"Store and grab all the equipment you need while I'm en route, Chang,"
Rayford had said, the phone tucked between his shoulder and ear as he packed.
"Smitty and I will come get you in a couple of days."
Chang had explained that the job was too big and that he and Naomi
working together could get him out of there that much faster. "I don't want to
miss a thing. She can help. I want to be able to monitor this place from
anywhere."
"Don't worry," Rayford said. "You'll get to see her face-to-face soon
enough."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Her father is one of the Petra elders, you know."
"So?"
"Only the two of them are left in the family. He's very protective."
"We both have too much work to do."
"Uh-huh."
"I'm not kidding, Captain Steele. Please bring her along. It's not like I
haven't seen her on-screen already."
"So, what do you think?"
"I told you. We have a lot of work to do."


Rayford felt a tug on the back of his copilot's chair as Naomi pulled herself
forward. "Can Mr. Smith see to land?"
"Not sure yet," Rayford said. "It's as if someone painted our windows
brown. See if you can raise our boy."
Chang was to be sure the New Babylon runways were clear, but he couldn't
talk by phone from there for fear someone would overhear. Naomi pulled a
small, thin computer from an aluminum box and attacked the keys.
"Avoid runways 3 left and 3 right," she said. "And he wants to know which
you choose so he can be there to meet us."
