ALL I KNOW IS VANESSA SNYDER HAS IT. I MEAN, I‘M SORRY…ZACK HAD IT AND SHE HAD SEX WITH HIM JUST SO THAT SHE COULD STEAL IT FROM HIM, AND NOW, IF REBECCA AND I DON‘T ANNUL OUR MARRIAGE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, SHE‘S GOING TO SELL THAT VIDEO TO A PORN WEBSITE AND BECOME A MILLIONAIRE. HER EMAIL ADDRESS IS VAN_WILDE@RIDICULOUS.COM. SINCERELY, H. BRADY

 

Destiny received the message immediately because she was in an instant-message conversation with her sister and her instant messenger notified her of a new, urgent email message. Stunned, she typed to her sister, BE RIGHT BACK, I HAVE TO READ AN URGENT EMAIL MESSAGE, and marked her status as busy. She read the email message and became angry. She replied, without saying hi or signing the message at the bottom,

 

GIVE ME HER HOME ADDRESS RIGHT NOW!

 

…And clicked the send button. Haggai received Destiny‘s message and complied with her request.

 

The next day, Destiny went to Vanessa‘s house with the police. Vanessa‘s mom, Michaela opened the door. She gasped when she saw Destiny and the police officers and the only thing she could say was, “What did we do?”

He had killed a few people that have hurt him before. He got away with it because Emadorians could be anywhere at any time. One minute they could be in the United States and the next minute they could be in Japan. That‘s why police figured it was useless to put them in jail. People would say that just because of their ability to go from one place to the other in a matter of minutes, Emadorians did not deserve to live because they were as powerful as God was. However, that wasn‘t true because God was everywhere at the same time, literally. Going from one place to the other within seconds was powerful, but being everywhere at the same time and invisible to eyes on earth was something that no other living thing could do except for God and the devil.

 

Haggai knew everything about everyone. All Emadorians did. If they ever wondered what someone was doing at that very moment, or whether someone had done something or not,
