Chapter Seventeen

Charles smiled as he watched the man. He had to meet up with him in the year 2018 because the man was in the middle of another project. He didn’t ask what the project was, but he assumed it was something illegal—they always were. The man approached him and sat down next to him. He adjusted his tie. “Nice restaurant,” he said as he looked around. “You eat here often?”

The restaurant was a five-star establishment, and if someone was on the balcony, geese could be fed. The tables were covered with white linen, even on the balcony. He tossed down some bread and turned back to the table. “Not too often, no, but the steaks here are phenomenal. I took the luxury of ordering for you. I hope you’re all right with medium-rare. That’s how I like mine.”

“Well, closer to rare, but that’s all right. This was my favorite place to run to. You are right about the steaks. So, let’s talk business. What brings you to my neck of the woods?” The man had a snarl when he spoke.

There was some cheering at two tables over, so Charles looked at them. He shook his head. As he watched a cake being brought to the table, he began speaking to the man. “I’m going to need a way to bring multiple copies of myself to the year 2022. Do you think you’d be able to provide assistance?” Charles turned and looked at the man, dead in the eyes.

“You’ve brought a lot of business my way, Charles. Of course, I can do something for you. How many copies would you like to use?”

“My idea for this has gone as far back as twenty years ago, so there are plenty of them to go around. It was a back-up plan originally, but I think I’m going to use this plan anyway—just to have some fun before all of this is done. Have you been following the murders?”

The man’s communicator began to ring. He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at the ID caller. “For fuck’s sake, it’s the bureau. They don’t know I’m here, so give me a moment. I’ll be right back.” The man stood up and walked to the railing where there was an empty table. He sat down and looked out, over the lake. He answered the phone and kept his conversation quiet.

Charles listened to the best he could. He knew the man worked for the bureau, but he didn’t know he was an agent. He began to think of all the wonderful things he could do with this information, like making it so he would be around in 2022. When the man hung up, he returned to the table and finished their conversation.

“What is the deal about this woman anyhow?” the man asked.

“She’s my mother’s daughter. At first, I wanted my mother to pay for what she did to me, but she went and died on me, so I’ve been turning my rage toward Billie. Now other agents have her protected, so I need other copies to get to her.
