| Life Lessons: Honesty | |||||||||||||
| Shawn waited in Isabelle's room as she went to put on some clothes. He had gotten a message from her while he and Richard had been attempting to get Jordan released. He was just thankful that his Uncle Tommy had come through for him in the end. In truth, though he knew if Kyle hadn't been in jail for the murder - attempted murder of Jordan, then Uncle Tommy probably wouldn't have helped him at all. | |||||||||||||
| None of that mattered, Jordan was alive with a complete memory now, everything could go back to normal. Well, as normal as things could get for a 4400. | |||||||||||||
| "Shawn," Isabelle called as she reentered her living room. Her fianc� seemed a million miles away. She hadn"t seen either him or her father in the few days since they postponed the wedding. Smoothing her hands over her pants she moved to sit down across from him on the sofa. "Shawn," she called again this time touching his leg to get his attention. | |||||||||||||
| He jumped slightly, removing her hand from his leg. "Sorry, Isabelle, I didn't realize you had come in yet. What were you saying?" | |||||||||||||
| "I- Daddy told me that everything went well with your Uncle." She started deciding not to start off with the heavy topic yet. | |||||||||||||
| He nodded in affirmation. "Yeah, Uncle Tommy gave us a picture of Jordan in custody and we released it. By this time tomorrow everyone will know that NTAC is holding him. There will be too many people protesting his holding outside NTAC headquarters so they will have to release him. " | |||||||||||||
| "That's good. I know Daddy was worried about having to take him out another way." | |||||||||||||
| Shawn frowned at her comment about Richard. "Right, I guess." He turned his body toward Isabelle so that he was facing her directly. "So your message said that you wanted to talk to me about something." | |||||||||||||
| "Yes, I do." Isabelle replied, clutching her hands together as she took comfort in the engagement ring that she had picked out herself. Pulling her thoughts together she brought her gaze level with Shawn's. "It's about Jordan actually." | |||||||||||||
| "Okay?" | |||||||||||||
| "You know that I don't have much memory of when I was a baby. I can recall a few things about my parents mostly but nothing really vivid except for one thing." She paused to take a deep breath. "Jordan came to see me once; he wanted me to tell him his future. He wanted me to show him that the death threat against him wasn't real." | |||||||||||||
| "I remember it was after Maia had a vision of his death." | |||||||||||||
| Isabelle nodded. "Right. And I gave him a vision only it wasn't of a true one of the future. I sensed a lot of things about Jordan, when I was a baby. Horrible things ... that he was arrogant, greedy, and had an insatiable desire for power. SoI let him die. I led him to his death. It was my fault." | |||||||||||||
| "You weren't the reason Jordan was shot. Your vision probably gave him confidence and assurance to do what he wanted when everyone else, including myself, was telling him not to. But, he knew that Maia's visions have never been wrong." Leveling Isabelle's anxious eyes with his solemn one's he added. "It doesn't matter anymore because, he's back; he didn't die. The future took him to show him the way to stop whatever's coming. Think of it this way, if you didn't give him that vision then They would have found a way to take him regardless of what happened." | |||||||||||||
| Isabelle hoped Shawn was right. "Do you really believe that?" | |||||||||||||
| "I do. And I think that if you talk to him and explain to him what you told me, he'll forgive you. And he may be able to tell us how we can stop you from making the wrong choice when the time comes. He'll know what do." | |||||||||||||
| Isabelle nodded. "If that"s what you think I should do, I'll do it." | |||||||||||||
| "Good." Shawn stood up. "It's getting late. Richard and I to be up early to lead the protest at NTAC. " | |||||||||||||
| "Of course," Isabelle stood up. She walked him to the door. "Goodnight Shawn." | |||||||||||||
| Shawn paused in the doorway, to grasp Isabelle's hand. "Everything will work itself out. You'll see." With a brief squeeze, he left Isabelle by herself. | |||||||||||||
| Isabelle closed the door after Shawn and moved to lean against, wrapping her arms around herself. "Everything will work out." She whispered to herself hoping that for her sake, Shawn was right. | |||||||||||||
