"Uncle Haggai?" screamed Hannah in her sheer joy and amazement. "He's in Florida, right in front of us? Oh, my God, Dad, I want you to pull over! I want to say hi!"

 

Heber did as his daughter asked him to. He pulled over and just two minutes later, Haggai was getting out of his car. "Does someone in this minivan need me to pay his bills?" he asked, laughing and with a bright smile on his beautiful face.

 

Heber got out of the car and gave his brother a big hug. “I was so looking forward to seeing you, man!”

 

“So was I,” replied Haggai. “Did you get my little present to you?”

 

“Your little present…” Heber said and suddenly recalled when the doctor injected the mysterious substance in his veins. He instantly figured out that it was a specimen that was injected in his bloodstream, not a sleeper substance or a medicine. “Oh, my God...!”

 

“That‘s right,” said Haggai, smiling, and with his arms crossed across his chest, “I finally got what I wanted and you finally got what you needed.”

 

“You did it? It‘s thanks to you that I‘m now feeling like nothing happened?” “Yes!” said Haggai, smiling.

 

Heber hugged him again. “I was stupid to not want to do it willingly. Being like this feels so good.”
