22. SONNY

Honestly, I didn’t know exactly how Mera would react to my telling her. I did just blurt it out. I was ready for anything. Her arguing that it wasn’t right, asking why, stating that as much as she wanted Alex back, it was something we should do.

What I didn’t expect was for her to say, “It’s about time. No pun intended.” And walk into the library. “Where’s Levi?” she asked.

“Why would Levi be here?” Randy asked.

Mera turned to me. “Were you lying about Alex?”

“Not at all,” I said. “Randy brought the means for up to three of us to make a five minute trip.”

Randy corrected. “Four minutes and forty-five seconds. That’s why we need to be precise. Sonny has pinpointed the coordinates and we have the estimated time.”

“What timeframe are you going?” Mera asked. “At what point?”

“We cannot make a trip with the intention of stopping Alex’s death,” Randy explained. “We have to change an event that will indirectly stop the event.”

“I understand that,” Mera said. “Like when Alex brought back Beck. We didn’t tell Beck to not do something, Alex told the soldier to be careful who he shot.”

“Exactly,” Randy stated. “Can I ask why you aren’t arguing this?”

“I want Alex back. We need Alex. The whole community needs him. I just have a gut feeling that any Sleeper wars we have would be better fought with Alex.”

“You’re right,” I told her. “Randy has The Doctrines. Alex isn’t dead in them. And he came after Alex died. So I knew immediately we changed it somehow.”

“Alex is crucial to the Paler wars,” Randy insisted.

“Hopefully,” I added. “If we do this, maybe me, Alex, and Beck can think of a way to stop this war before it begins.”

“That’s been everyone’s intention all along,” Mera said. “It just hasn’t worked.”

“That’s why we will use The Doctrines and Randy’s knowledge of history. We won’t make the mistakes The Doctrines say we will.”

“What point are you going to change?” Mera asked.

“The baby.”

She inhaled and stepped back. “That baby is the reason Alex died. Jessie tried to return it to the Sleepers thinking that would stop them from attacking.”

“That’s where and when we are going,” I said. “I am going to find me to stop me from even bringing that baby into Grace.”

Randy said, “You and I will stay back, Mera. We cannot be seen.”

“Then why am I going?” Mera asked. “You don’t need me.”

“You, Me, and Alex, we were tight,” I said. “Very tight. My heart is broken, Mera. I cannot wait for that moment, when I see him, for that feeling of joy. You are heartbroken, if you don’t go, you’ll never know. And that is robbing you of something you of all people deserve.”

Her lips puckered and her eyes glossed over as she laid her hand to my cheek. “Thank you.”

I grabbed her hand. “Let’s do this.”

I didn’t understand the logistics of how it would work. But once the final ‘when’ was put into the computer, it took hours to load. I was actually fearful that Beck was going to show up.
