| Part 8 |
| When Max finished updating Michael and Maria. He started telling Michael a plan that he had thought of. "I was thinking that maybe I could connect with Alex2 and pull the memory of the dream from his head. Maybe I'll be able to determine exactly what happened so we can be sure." Max revealed his plan. "Yeah, that's a good idea. We'll figure out if it was just a dream or if it really was Alex Whitman." Michael agreed. "Isabel, are you okay with that." Max asked for her permission. "Oh yeah sure." Isabel readily agreed. Wanting to know the exact truth. "Hold on! Will this hurt him?" Jesse asked, unsure of what it was. "No, of course not. It's just making a mental connection. Our minds will be linked and I'll be able to see some memories and stuff from him. Hopefully I'll be able to see the dream. Besides Jesse, you know I wouldn't do anything that would be dangerous to my nephew." Max explained and tried to reassure his brother-in-law. "Oh, yeah, okay." Jesse replied still unconvinced. "Well, if you want, I could make a connection to you and show you what it would be like so that you would be okay with me forming one with Alex2." Max offered. "Uh........Uh........uh......" he said nervously. "It's okay Jesse, it's not bad at all. And it dosen't hurt a bit. It's actually kinda fun." Isabel tried to convince her husband. Jesse turned and looked at Isabel while saying "I guess so...." hesitantly. "Wait! Isabel, couldn't you show me?" he pleaded. "I could... but Max is going to form the connection with Alex2 so how would that help you to trust him?" Isabel reasoned. He sighed knowing that she was right. So he put on a brave face and turned to Max. "Alright, what do I have to do?" Max got up and kneeled in front of him. "Nothing much. Just relax and let your mind blank out." he reached out and touched Jesse's forearm in the manliest way possible. It took about a minute or two and then the connection was made. Memories rushed past Max and he was briefly overwhelmed by them but managed to slow them down a little. He saw flashes of Jesse's happy childhood, his family. Then he saw his life when he was older, his first love, first job, college graduation, Isabel and Alex2, then he saw something else. It was Jesse and another woman. Many flashes rushed by him. Jesse holding her, kissing her, loving her, introducing her to Isabel as a friend from work and then staying out all night with her. Max gasped in realization. He was so startled that he broke the connection and fell flat on his back. There was no question about it. Jesse was having an affair. |
