“That means,” Rebecca added as she turned the knob behind her, “that if I want to date and have a relationship with a sixty-year-old man, I can do it, and since I would have the favor of the law, nothing or no one could stop me.” Rebecca walked out of her bedroom and closed the door behind her, leaving Dawn literally speechless.
Suddenly, it occurred to Dawn to do something that would really hurt Rebecca, to get back at her for treating her so roughly. She immediately sat on the computer and clicked on the ‗close‘ button on the word-processor to eliminate Rebecca‘s report completely. It didn‘t occur to Rebecca to save her work. No one had ever done something like this to Rebecca before—getting into her personal business to do her harm. Rebecca thought that Dawn really loved her and she never thought that an argument between her and her only sister would drive her only sister to threaten her entire future. Then, Dawn closed the word-processor and opened the Internet Explorer to browse a few websites.
Haggai suddenly knew what had just happened to Rebecca‘s report with the power of telekinesis, Haggai made it possible for Rebecca‘s report to resurge out of the blue. Rebecca only needed one more paragraph; her thesis, to finish her report. In less than one minute, Rebecca‘s computer retyped the entire thirty-page report, except the thesis. He wanted to make it look like Dawn had never closed the document without saving it. The things that Heber told Haggai about Rebecca, they made Haggai love Rebecca so much that he‘d do anything to keep anyone from ruining her life.
To Dawn‘s utter shock, the computer saved the document, naming it ‗03/07/2006‗, after the due date, and closed the word-processor. Rebecca still had a few days to retype her report if it got lost for any reason, but she didn‘t have the time to gather her sources to get her information from, rewrite the information on almost 1,000 index cards, and rewrite it by hand as a rough draft. Hadn‘t it been for Haggai, she would‘ve gotten a zero on her report and wound up failing the course; thus this report was worth forty percent of her final grade on the course for this semester. Dawn knew this and that is why she wanted Rebecca to lose her report, but Haggai ruined her evil and unjustified plot.
When Dawn pressed the ‗start‘ button on the desktop taskbar, and then went to open the word-processor to try and delete Rebecca‘s report from the computer again, the computer shut down in less than three seconds. Dawn tried to turn the computer back on, but it wouldn‘t come on. It was as if the computer had suddenly run out of power for damage done to the power supply. Dawn couldn‘t believe what was happening. She raced out of Rebecca‘s room to tell her that her computer had been destroyed from the inside out. She couldn‘t make her lose her report, but she would tear Rebecca apart by making her believe that her report got lost when her computer broke down. This was the second plan that she had failed to execute because of Haggai.
Rebecca was in the living room, talking to her parents about her date with Haggai. From her parents‘ reaction, it seemed to Dawn like Rebecca was talking to them about her favorite soap opera actor, and what happened to his character in yesterday‘s episode. “Rebecca, we don‘t have a problem with you dating Haggai Brady as long as you don‘t let him take advantage of you,” Rebecca‘s mother, Jessica commented.
Drew, Dawn and Rebecca‘s father, he replied, “He‘d be your first boyfriend, if you started a relationship with him, and even if he wasn‘t, he‘s the adult and you‘re the minor. If he knows what‘s best for him, he should keep that in mind.”
