The Cross of Mithras Vol. 1: EOD Operation Welcome to Hell by Douglas Howell

lives. Vaistll said something to him and his eyes lighted up. He finally got his idea for a movie. Later, he talked to his friends in Hollywood (none where actors) and gave them his idea. They loved it. They help him to direct his first movie that was release in 2009. And it was called, “Yoke the Horse.” What’s more, he gave her a small part in the movie. So she got the chance to see herself up on the big screen. And there she was, this very tall beautiful white woman, with blonde hair and green eyes. Her voice sounded like she was a foot shorter. As she always puts it, ‘That’s typical for an Apollinarian. For I noticed that our voice makes us sounds like we are a foot shorter. With humans, the taller they are the deeper their voice is.’ Seeing herself up there got her to thinking, ‘Why do these nano-probes always make me look that way? Why can’t they make me look like someone else? Like a black woman or something. It sure would be nice if they could make me look different.’
      After Langston left office Vaistll got another big break. The Democratic President, when he learned about her existence and what Langston put her through, wanted to meet her and give her something. When she met him, he gave her a copy of an Executive Order which recognized her as an American citizen with certain privileges that most American don’t get. One of those privileges was that she is protected from all actions committed by future Presidents. It was to stop them from turning her into some lab rat. He also gave her the chance to influence the next Executive Order that dealt with what to do with an extraterrestrial when they land in U.S. custody.
      It all just proved something that she always said to those people who felt so sorry for everything that she went through, either with Langston, or from her life back on her planet. What she told them was, ‘There is a higher reason for everything that we go through in life. You just need to be patient, and you will discover the reason’ But for her sitting in that hotel room in Roscadia, she is still waiting for that reason when it comes to the EOD.

      “He did it to me again!” It was Behlmer, Wexler as usual, got drunk and ran down the street naked. Upset, and tired of always being stuck with him, Behlmer called Vaistll.
      “Ma’am... I’m sorry to disturb you, but it’s Wexler. He got drunk and ran down the street naked and got himself arrested. Ma’am... why do I always get stuck with him? I’m getting so sick and tired of him doing this to me. It’s embarrassing. And what’s more... he outranks me! So there’s nothing I can do about it. Why can’t you let somebody else baby-sit him for a change?”
      “Well... I’m sorry to hear that. And I’m sorry to say... that you are stuck with him.”
      “What!? Why!?”
      “Well it’s mainly due to the fact that you’re British, and you still have your British accent. So, people tend to act more nicely around you. What’s more you are the only police officer in our Task Force. So you know how to talk to the cops. I understand how you feel; it’s just that nobody wants to be stuck with him. I guess you can consider it a rite of passage since you’re the rookie of the group. Is there anything else?”
      “No ma’am.”
      “Okay then, goodbye.”
      “Goodbye... ma’am.”
      Vaistll kind of figured that Wexler was bound to do that. But as she sees it, he is in a safe place until the mission starts. She laughed a little bit because it reminded her of a song that Triple T (Thomas [Ellis] the Texan) came up with, about Wexler doing that. Although Behlmer couldn’t see it, he was the only one who cared about Wexler enough to try and stop him. And that’s the real reason why he gets stuck with him.
      After she finished watching her movie, she got a phone call from Ramirez. “What’s up?” She asked, knowing that it’s not like him to call her up this late in the evening.
      “I
