Left Behind–The Kids: Murder In The Holy Place Chapter 10
Judd walked through one of the ancient gates of Jerusalem and nearly lost sight of Lionel and Sam, all three pushed by the huge crowds muscling toward the city. Judd watched for Chaim Rosenzweig and Buck Williams, but the place looked like a human sea. Lionel and Sam caught up with Judd, and the three prepared for Carpathia’s arrival.
Thousands cheered in anticipation. Toddlers were held high on shoulders, waving real palm branches. Teenagers wearing Z-Band’s style of clothes danced through the streets, forming a human chain. Many of them already had the mark of Carpathia and celebrated by shouting slogans and singing songs.
“I wonder if Z-Band is going to make an appearance at this,” Lionel said.
“You can bet he’s ticked if he doesn’t get to,” Judd told him.
Judd’s heart leapt when a loudspeaker truck moved through the street announcing that all citizens were expected to display the mark of loyalty to Carpathia. “Why not take care of this painless and thrilling obligation while his Excellency is here?”
A teen in the line of dancers shouted, “Come on, we’re going to the Temple Mount to get our mark!” Several people followed, but most stayed, not wanting to miss a glimpse of Carpathia.
Lionel glanced at Judd, his eyes wide. “You think they are going to check and see if we have the mark?”
“Relax,” Judd said. “Those application facilities have to be packed.”
People sang an off-key song a block away. Judd finally realized it was “Hail Carpathia.” Hundreds broke into wild applause thinking Nicolae had appeared. A GC tank topped with revolving blue, red, and orange lights rolled past. Behind that was a motorcade of three black vehicles, followed by more tanks. The crowd cheered and Judd hustled for a better view.
