Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.<\/strong><\/p>\n Alfred A. Montapert<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cCristian, these clothes are for Ezra.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will get them to him.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n Lorelei now wearing a period dress, climbed in and snuggled against his chest.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, you will be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAlways, I couldn\u2019t face life without my dessert.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, be serious, you are breaking a man out of jail.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI was serious, Lorelei, my life would be empty without you.\u201d<\/p>\n After a very long kiss, he opened the ship hatch and helped her out into a deserted back alley. \u201cI will arrive back in a week, sweetie. Meet me back in the cave Monday night,\u201d he said as she climbed out.<\/p>\n Arriving at night in August \u00a01908 he dug a hole under the fence on the side yard of the B.C. Penn in New Westminster. He climbed back in the Ascalon he went to sleep.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian the work detail is approaching, Ezra is part of the crew.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGreat Watcher. I am going to pull the ship around the back of the bushes. When Ezra comes running past, I will call him into the ship.”<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, there are three of them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will deal with them.\u201d<\/p>\n Cristian got out of the ship and surveyed the area quickly. As the three men came running by he grabbed Ezra and held him back.<\/p>\n He yelled at the other two.\u201cGet to the water, there is a boat. Lie down and float to the end of the river.”<\/p>\n The other two ran as fast as they could.<\/p>\n \u201cGet in the ship, Ezra.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t see it, oh there it is.\u201d<\/p>\n The hatch closed, and he floated the ship up above the river.<\/p>\n \u201cThey found the boat. I can see them.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c Oh, there was a boat? Where would you like to go Ezra?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou must be Cristian, I met your wife, she is quite something.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe certainly is.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCan you get me across the border?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPick a state I can get you there.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow about Georgia?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGeorgia it is Ezra.”<\/p>\n He lowered the ship down in a wooded area near Macon.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are clothes and 25 pounds of gold in the bag.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy wife made you some food and told me to give you this.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy pepper-box.\u201d He saw a look in Ezra\u2019s Face he didn\u2019t like.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore you get any ideas, the shells are in the bag, train robber.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe ship and Watcher won\u2019t respond to you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJust as well, I still hate small spaces.”<\/p>\n \u201cEzra, history says you get caught again and die in jail. You can change history if you choose it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThanks for the advice, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank you, Ezra.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWatcher, let\u2019s get back to Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cUP UP AND AWAY<\/a>\u201d The Fifth Dimension was heard playing from the\u00a0pocket watch.<\/p>\n \u201cColourful Watcher. I prefer Bowie though\u201d<\/p>\n Then he heard Space oddity<\/a>. “Better much better.”<\/p>\n He arrived back at the 1905 cave to find Lorelei waiting and supper on the table.<\/p>\n \u201cHey sweetie how was your\u201d He had to think a bit \u201cweek?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGood, how was your day away?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDropped our friend in Georgia.\u201d<\/p>\n Lorelei was wearing an apron, just an apron.<\/p>\n \u201cDamn woman, you sure know how to greet a man.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJust my Husband.\u201d<\/p>\n He had a hard time concentrating on dinner.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat are our plans Cristian?\u201d she said looking into Cristian’s eyes.<\/p>\n \u201cFirst, I plan on tearing that apron off your body and having my way.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI had hoped for that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow would you like to spend a few days with Dorothy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cReally?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou are the best Husband.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYour only one. How is Arthur doing?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe has the permits and the excavations have started.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDoes he need to be here any longer?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe is already back in Vancouver, he took the train down yesterday. He will come back up after the cement is poured.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGreat, we can head back down in the morning, after dessert.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDesserts can be fattening.\u201d He smiled at her comment, thinking about the baby.<\/p>\n \u201cHow is our baby Watcher?\u201d he asked out loud.<\/p>\n \u201cThe baby is healthy and doing well, as is his mother\u201d was the answer, so both could hear.<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, when you will start the fight?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we are secured and ready, Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cM1.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCan you start an internal weapons refit on the Ascalon past?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI can only take direction from Lorelei or Ezra at this point, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cM1, can you start a weapons refit on the past Ascalon. \u00a0Make provisions to carry a 50 cal sniper rifle two sets of handguns and holsters plus ammo. Throw in a mounting for an assault rifle with a night vision scope for fun. We have the weapons in the future.” said Lorelei in an authoritative voice that impressed Cristian and made him love her more.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Lorelei, I will get that done right away.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou are a good woman.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThanks, Husband\u201d she smiled brightly.<\/p>\n On the trip to Vancouver, he flew down the Fraser River so that his wife could enjoy the view.<\/p>\n \u201cI will get the door, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThanks, sweetie.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNice bikes, they will fetch a good price in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a Cadillac coming as well, Lorelei.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGreat.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLorelei, you look beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThanks, so do you, Dorothy\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am 15 years older, you are the same as when you left.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou have almost finished raising two boys, my baby is still inside me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDo you want to go for a bite, the men can keep each other occupied.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, that would be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, Dorothy and I will be going out for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGood, have fun, go shopping if you would like.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cArthur, I see you have a telephone?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s a curse as much as a boon.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWait till you see cell phones, a phone you can carry anywhere in the world with you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s horrid, that will be the end of privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow right you are, Arthur. How is the Kamloops project coming?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cExcavations have started, cement starts pouring in a couple of weeks.”<\/p>\n \u201cExcellent.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow long are you staying, Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLorelei will be staying for a few days.\u00a0I am not sure when I am heading back.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTime enough for Dim Sum?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDefinitely, shall we lock up?\u201d<\/p>\n A dim sum cart rolled by and stopped at the table. Bamboo steamers were opened. The two men pointed at what they wanted.\u00a0A mark was placed on their cards to record what they ate.<\/p>\n \u201cArthur, have you designed a house for the new location?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI am working on it. Dorothy wanted to build in town, so the boys can get to school easier. Is that a problem, Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo Arthur, not at all. Build up on the hill, Kamloops floods quite often.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGreat, I didn\u2019t want to offend you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNever worry about that, my friend, always feel free to speak your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cArthur, is there anything lacking in your life?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere is one thing, we have never taken a holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will remedy that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDorothy will be pleased. Thank you.”<\/p>\n \u201cArthur, the company will pay for your Kamloops house.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThank you, Cristian.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo, thank you, Arthur, it is the least I can do. The work you do is vital.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cCristian, I have some news for you. My boy Arthur Junior wants to come to work for the company.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat is excellent; will you send him to college?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, Business Administration.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAgain, the company should pay for his education.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou are far too generous, Cristian?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI would consider that an investment. Shall we go back to the office?”<\/p>\n They both stayed for a couple of days. Lorelei and Cristian said their goodbyes and boarded the Ascalon.<\/p>\n \u201cTake us home, Watcher\u201d Lorelei snuggled in closer as they started the trip.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you for the trip, husband.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TEMPUS CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.
