But he didn’t. Instead, he said again, “Hey, you sure you’ll be okay?”

She nodded and patted his face with both of her hands. “Good night, Ethan. Sweet dreams.”

Making his way back inside, Ethan went directly to his bedroom in Zhang Lee’s penthouse and closed the door. As he lay on the bed, he was still thinking about Rivka. He knew that he loved her. Yes, like crazy. I need to pray about this. But the way I feel about her, I really, really want her to be my wife. And soon. Before life gets in the way again.

Ethan glanced at the satellite clock on the bedside table. Never enough time.

He knew that there was one more thing to do before he could catch some sleep. He turned on the video log from Josh. He had been slowly working his way through it, but he still had about a third of it to go. He was tired. He decided to catch just a few minutes of the log.

On the screen, Joshua looked preoccupied. His face was more worn than Ethan had recalled. Josh was talking about the practical needs of those coming to faith in Christ. And the need to prepare for a particularly terrifying form of tyranny.

For Ethan, that message seemed providential. Josh was quoting the admonition of Jesus that His followers should be as innocent as doves and as wise as serpents.

That serpent reference, Ethan thought, was exactly what he needed to hear. The need to be practical about the ways of the world while still being morally upright. It was a difficult balance, no question about it.

Ethan rubbed his eyes. They burned with fatigue. He was increasingly convinced that he needed to seal the deal with Jo Li while there was still time. And at least that would solve one of the two great burdens he was dealing with: finding a financial system to safely provide for the basic survival needs of his Remnant group of Jesus followers—the millions of them around the world. Those numbers that were growing exponentially.

But the second problem still plagued him as he felt himself drifting off to sleep: Sure, Chiro had created a digital substation tucked away in the wilderness of the Yukon to help counteract Alexander Colliquin’s plan for some kind of digital takeover of the world’s web communications networks. But even with his Japanese cyber genius helping him, that wouldn’t be enough. Alexander Colliquin’s audacious technology plan was still too sketchy for Ethan’s forces to attack. How did one fight a shadow?

It was clear that it would come down to Dr. Iban Adis, Ethan’s inside source at the Alliance’s digital imagery laboratory. Adis needed to dig into the engineering details and then slip that information to Ethan.

Finally, Ethan gave himself an order. Okay, stop the gears in your head. If you don’t shut down your brain now, you’ll never get any sleep.

Thankfully, the admonition worked.
