"Well, did you miss me?" he teased as casually as you please.
"Of course I missed you," I replied. "You and Marla just disappeared one day, and the way I figured it you must have died, because I never heard from either one of you again. It's been years, Gideon. You do have this habit of disappearing for years and re-appearing in a most unexpected manner."
"I certainly didn't die, as you can clearly see. I've just been away doing other things. But it's time to visit with you again, to finish the work we started ages ago. Tell me, John, what have you been doing since our last meeting?"
I was a thousand questions as I stared at him. He did not seem to have aged at all. He still sported the well-trimmed beard and his sparkling eyes spoke of untold mysteries. This time he was dressed in a flight attendant's uniform with two medals pinned over his breast pocket. "I was thinking about you just moments before you appeared. What are you doing working as a flight attendant?" I asked, deliberately ignoring his question.
"It was the best way to meet you again. At least we'd be able to chat for a while, exchange thoughts and bring you up to date on what's going on. Why do you think the flight is so uncrowded? We requested a special plane for you. Do you think this was all by accident? A mere coincidence? No accidents in the universe, John. Just choices, lots of them and each choice produces a result which creates further choices. Frustrating, isn't it?"
"Who requested a special plane?" I asked.
"Oh, Marla and I, of course. Who did you think?"
"Where's Marla? Is she on this flight too?"
"No, not on this flight, but temporarily in the airline business. You'll see her soon enough. Do you have many more questions?"
"Yes! I do. I always have lots of questions. And you haven't answered most of them yet, Gideon." Again I wondered whether I had fallen asleep and was dreaming all this when Gideon lowered his voice and spoke in a more serious tone.
