Irrefutable Proof: Mars Origin "I" Series Book II by Abby L. Vandiver Page B

the coffee
that was left, you never leave without it. Did you forget your thermos? How are
you going to sleep tonight, without your cup of coffee?” She tried to take
Addie’s mind off of the club’s decision.
    Addie
turned and glared at Rennie. Jack knew that look. There was no talking to her
when she got mad enough that she started to cry. Still, he took on Rennie’s
quest to make Addie less angry.
     “Everyone
doesn’t like the same thing, Addie. You know,” he said, “maybe you can bring
the idea back up, next time it’s your turn to pick.”
     “It
doesn’t matter,” she said, trying to push back the anger. “I’ll just read the
book myself. Don’t need a club to do that. But what really makes me mad is that
they acted as if my opinion didn’t matter. It was, after all, my turn to pick
the book.”
    “Not
completely. You do have to choose with two other members,” Jack reminded her.
    “Jack,
just go home. Why you following me anyway? Go home and leave me alone. I’ve
already ordered the books. I’ve got eight, I’ll send seven back and read the
one myself.”
    “I’ll
read it.” Jack put his arm around Addie, who swiftly shrugged it away. “What’s
it called?” He kept talking. “Fishy Water?”
    “I’ll
read it too,” Rennie added.
     Addie
closed her eyes and let a slight smile emerge. She leaned into Jack and pushed
him.
    “Thank
you both. And no, Jack, it’s not Fishy Water, it’s The Dead Sea Fish .”
    The
three walked up the walkway that lead to Addie’s door.
    “Tell
me about her first book,” Jack said. Do I need to read it first to understand
the sequel? Give me a quick synopsis. Hundred words or less,” he said glancing
down at his watch. “And then I gotta go.”
    Addie
chuckled. Jack looked at her puzzled. “It’s just, in the book, the main
character’s husband told her to tell him in a hundred words or less what the
manuscripts were about. I wonder could I do that with the book.”
    “Try.
If it’s too complicated, I’ll borrow your book and read that one too.”
    “I
can tell you,” she said. “The basic premise is that in the beginning man came
from Mars. They were extremely advanced, technologically speaking. You know
they could travel through space, all that sort of stuff. They had destroyed
Mars with some kind of nuclear disaster, and they had to move underground
because the earth was radioactive, making everyone sick. They had been playing
with the planet Earth like for millions of years. They created the dinosaurs.
They created the Neanderthal. Built the pyramids, changed the climate on the
planet. They even conducted experiments with plants and animals. Then they
killed them all off when they got tired of them.
    “What
do you mean ‘playing’ around with Earth?”
    “Well
like, you know, they had conducted experiments here. No man lived here at the
time, so Earth was like a big lab for their experiments.”
    “They
had people called Watchers who conducted and watched over the experiments.”
    “Wow,”
Jack said. “And this is the book that you believe is true?”
    “Yep.
That man didn’t originate here. He came here on spaceships. The book said there
was a one world government, run by the Elect. They were the leaders on Mars,
and they ultimately decided to try and continue man here because they couldn’t
live on Mars anymore. You know, due to the radiation. But since they had made
such a mess with their planet - racism, nuclear accidents and everything, they
decided to populate Earth with only Indians.”
    “Really?”
Jack laughed. “They had Indians?”
    “Yeah,
they had Indians. So that’s why when Europeans started exploring the new world
and they’d find what they thought ‘new’ land, it was always already occupied.” Addie
looked at Jack, “By the Indians. Get it?”
    “Yeah,
I get it. Go ahead.”
    “That’s
basically it.”
    “No,
the saboteurs.” Rennie said.
    “Oh,
yeah, how could I forget that? But the whole
