Zeke, Kally, and Bea were sitting at the breakfast table in the Maui house. Each had a cup of coffee, and a plate of pastries sat in the center of the table. Zeke told them of the events of the day. Bea immediately began flipping through “A Simple Life.” The exact story was there in print, even though it had been completely different the last time she had looked. "What did I say about the events there, Bea?" Zeke asked.

"It's not really clear. You said you did not know who the good or bad guys were," she reported. "What does your intuition tell you, Zeke?"

"I'm not sure," he replied. "At this point, I'm not sure there are any good guys. Is this the future again?"

"Yes, but I'm not exactly sure how that happened," Kally replied. "Your phone doesn't have the power to do what it did."

"Can I stay here? Things are crazy back in my time right now," Zeke said.

Kally and Bea exchanged worried glances. "No, that's too big a risk, Zeke."

"Maybe a day or two would be okay," Bea suggested.

"But we have a new problem, Bea," Kally countered.

She sighed heavily. "Yeah, I know. Zeke, people in your time saw what you did with the phone. That kind of technology would be a very dangerous weapon in your primitive time."

"Primitive?"

"Don't take offense, Zeke," Kally interjected. "But if anyone from your time thinks this kind of technology is possible, or gets their hands on a sample, the balance of power would change forever. Time will change, maybe irreparably."

"So when I go back, I'll use a regular phone," he agreed.

"The good news is the attackers were undoubtedly Black Ops," Bea began. "There won't be any news coverage of the incident at all. Everyone will deny everything. But their governments will now be intrigued by what happened."

"It did happen, so what can I do now?"

"Just like them, Zeke, you deny everything," Kally replied. "They have no evidence to prove anything. As long as you keep denying everything, nothing else should happen."

"Should. You said nothing else should happen," Zeke noted.

"We can't control the future, Zeke. You might be able to see it, but you cannot control it either," Kally replied.

"We can't just let Zeke be a sitting duck, Kally!" Bea argued. He nodded and walked out of the room.

"Did you piss him off or something?" Zeke asked.

"He'll be right back. We do have some things that might help."

"Bea, remember when you asked me to look into the future to see if we would meet again?"

"Yes. Is this what you saw?"

"No. Do you think that's important?"

"The future is infinitely variable, Zeke. The attack you just lived through was not in the book a few days ago when I last looked. Somebody changed a decision and made that happen."

Zeke looked down. "It's just that the earlier vision made me very happy."

She flashed her smile at him and said, "Do you want to tell me about it?"

Zeke coughed and muttered, "Not just yet."

She laughed softly and squeezed his hand.
