This lift will never scare me again, thought Ivan as he stepped into the elevator that would take them down to street level. The recent events had changed his inner scale for what he considered frightening; even exploring the Green Egg now felt like a peaceful experience compared to the massacre he had just witnessed.

Twenty-Five

Delta

Jon was upset, if not angry, at his own creation, which slowly seemed to be evolving into the secret leader of the group. “It seems you knew perfectly well what would happen at dinner. You still sent us there anyway. Why?”

Delta looked at Jon for a few seconds before answering. “It was necessary. You had to see the time machine and you had to see Chris and Suki’s potential. Even more they had to see their own potential. It will only grow when practiced knowingly.”

Jon still looked upset. “But what if… what if they hadn’t been able to protect us? All of this would have been in vain.”

Delta nodded. “Sometimes one has to accept a calculated risk. There is no guarantee for anything. Sometimes you have to jump even if you are afraid; so you jump and soon you see how deep the water really is.”

Jon knew that Delta was right, still he didn’t want to let him off the hook that easily. “Next time you’d better warn us in advance. We have to be prepared.”

Delta looked down at the table, smiling. “You think I know the future. That is not so. I felt that something important would happen tonight, but I could not see any details. I know where you have to be, but not why.”

Ivan appeared to have no problem with Delta’s explanation. His only interest was the time machine that he wanted to fix as soon as possible. “OK, that’s fine then. What about the time machine? What do you know about it?”

“I am no scientist, Ivan. I am sure you know more about it than I do. I know that we will have to go back a few thousand years and plant a seed. It is up to you to make that possible.”

Ivan was surprised at the amount of trust placed in him. “OK… but I’m not sure that it will work… it’s the wrong way around.”

Delta took Ivan’s hand. “I will show you something.”

Ivan felt a tingling starting to emerge from Delta’s hand, slowly making its way up his left arm. It felt like he had placed his arm into cool, oxygen-rich water. “What are you doing…?” Ivan suddenly felt afraid. What was happening to him? He felt like he was drowning in the ocean while at the same time sitting in a chair surrounded by his friends.

“Close your eyes.”

Ivan instinctively followed Delta’s command even if it was the last thing he wanted to do. Suddenly a landscape emerged. Ivan was surprised that he was able to see. His eyes were closed, weren’t they?

He saw a young boy running along a massive field dragging a kite behind him.

“Faster! You need to run faster!” He saw a woman laughing and cheering at the boy who looked so happy.
