Left Behind: The Indwelling, Chapters 14 and 15
Leah was tired and bored, despite being fascinated by the change in Rayford and the relationship between him and his daughter. Even with the windows open and a chilly breeze coming through, the Land Rover was cramped and oppressive.
When her phone rang and it was Ming, she was alarmed but glad for the diversion.
“I am going to get to see my parents and my brother again,” Ming said.
“That’s great. How? Where?”
“At the funeral.”
“You’re going?”
“And so are they.. I called to tell them I had been assigned crowd control and they insisted on coming.”
“Well, that’s good, isn’t it?”
“Leah, I am so worried about my parents. They do not know about either Chang or me being believers. They were such admirers of Carpathia that they are sick with grief. I want to tell them and persuade them, but it would take a miracle.”
“It’s always a miracle, Ming. We’ll pray with you that it will happen.”
“You don’t know my father.”
“I know, but God is bigger than any of that. How are you going to get to New Babylon? I heard all flights were full.”
“Military transport. I don’t know how my family found seats, except that my father has a lot of influence with the GC. His business contributes more than 20% of his profits to New Babylon. They are expecting another million people there tomorrow. I’m telling you, Leah, even prisoners here are mourning Carpathia.”
“When you’re there, look up David Hassid and Annie Christopher.”
“Believers?”
“Of course. Keep up the front. Pretend to argue with them. They’ll notice your mark and play along to protect you. Introduce your brother. I’ll tip them off your parents don’t know. Hey, any more news on Hattie or on Cameron Williams family?”
A pause.
“You can tell me, Ming.”
“Well, it’s sort of good news and bad news.”
“Shoot.”
