E-Day Minus 7 Years

“What’s the plan?” asks Mike of Jeremiah.

“I have no plan,” he replies. “I only have a destination, and again, it is just a number.” He borrows Mike’s pen and writes it down for her. She puts her notepad and pen away mere seconds before another guard comes to replace her. This time it happens to be Mark.

As you may recall, Mark had been SpecOps and more, back in the day, and he was wrangled into this job, not of his own volition. “Be careful,” Mike says to him. “He really is smarter . . . or at least wiser than anyone else here.”

Mark doesn’t know what that means, but he doesn’t really think it matters. The windows are sealed with Lexan panels, screwed on from the outside. The locks on the door work only from the hallway side of the door, not allowing for an exit, even in an emergency. Any government safety related agency would have this place burnt to the ground, but safety is of little concern today.

Mark has a four-hour watch, looking over Jeremiah, during which time they talk, much as had Jere and Mike. Mark has longer to absorb what Jeremiah tells him, not presiding over a warm body, as did Mike. He learns that Jeremiah has predicted all that had come to be in these past few days, and he learns of what Jeremiah predicts for the next several years, including the arrival of the Two. If he could fully believe Jeremiah, Mark knew that he would be terrified. But he doesn’t really believe it all – maybe not any – not right away. But he gets it well enough to commit it to memory, as a whole, and act on what he can readily assimilate.

At the end of the four hours, Mark is replaced by Crazy Andy. At least, that’s what the people at the VA had come to call him. But Sargent Lightfoot had been echoing the words of Jeremiah, months in advance, and all out of order. When he was in the room with Jeremiah, one would have thought that they would get along famously, but instead, Andrew believes he knows more than Jeremiah, so he dismisses what he is told, trying to force the old newsman to absorb his version of the story. It sounds as plausible as any, and any normal human being would say that the two accounts had equal validity, but their sources, it would turn out, were determinately divergent.

Andrew, hearing the words and wisdom of Jeremiah, arranges for a meeting with Major Rathe, telling him what he was trying to impress on the prisoner. He convinces the Major to get a copy of his, that is, Crazy Andy’s psych and med reports from the VA, before his disappearance. As soon as those are in hand, and the Major has a chance to review, he sees the similarities – convoluted as they are – and
