Reading Summary 3

Carl is in his pit where its 150 degrees but he has control over his mind so it doesn't effect him. He is thinking back on a conversation him and Agotha had about zero-point field. she said that if he could ignore the heat maybe he could lower the heat with his mind. She wanted him to try so he has been trying but he cant tell if he has succeeded or not. the story switches to Kelly and Agotha watching Carl in his pit. Agotha notices that the temperature is down to 130 degrees an she asks Kelly if she lowered it but she said no so Agotha started to get excited because he must have lowered the temp with his mind. They let Carl out of the pit so he can recover for his test tom. they were out in the shooting range so they could practice for the test. Dale(Englishmen) and Janine were also training for the test. After they trained for a little bit Kelly explained the test. they would be in a crate and they had to shoot a target 5 times at twelve hundred yards while black hornets are in the crate. the first to hit the target would be set free an given a knife, the second would be set free and given a handgun and would have to hunt the first, the third would get to go to the infirmary.

the story then goes back to the president and his son. They are in the oval office waiting on one of the presidents meetings to start. when the man from the CIA(frank) gets there the presidents son leaves. the president asks him about the x-group and frank tells him that its a group of assassins that people can hire and there talk about a hit on Assim Feroz(defense minister of Iran).

The story switches to Carl laying in a crate waiting for the test to start. When he heard buzzing he knew it had begun so he searched for the target and shot 5 rounds in a matter of 3 mins and then he was let out the crate and given a knife. Carl started to run for his pit and he hid in a secret tunnel for a day so he could recover from the hornets poison. When he recovered he left the tunnel and waited for englishmen to come find him. Englishmen found him but he ad kelly hostage so carl dropped his knife then englishmen pushed kelly away and aimed the gun at carl but kelly shoots the gun out of his hand first and so carl passes the test.

Again the story changes to the president on Air Force One with David and the CIA director Ed Carter. they are talking about the assassination plan for Assim Feroz but the president said he will have no part in it and it better not happen or he will hold him responsible.
