Chapter No.83. Fortunate.

Robert and James were relaxing in the patio near the pool when Baby Jack and Sparky came over. Robert noticed that Baby Jack, although technically a toddler, looked like a young child. He turned to James. "I think he's maturing, but not in the usual manner."

"Yes, he's obviously unique in that respect. Sylvia and I've been spending more time educating him."

Baby Jack came over to Robert and looked up at him. "Grand Dad, do you realize that Sparky can communicate through mental means?"

Robert's right eyebrow rose up. "Really?"

"Yes. He knows many things."

Robert turned to James with a quizzical expression. "Are you aware of this?"

"No, but It'll be on our educational agenda list."

Robert turned back to Baby Jack. "Are you comfortable with our operational practices?"

Yes, Grand Dad. Sparky and I are on board."

"We've decided that school is out of the question for you," Robert said. "We'll handle your home-schooling education."

"Sparky and I are okay with that."

"Hopefully we'll have a period of peace and quiet to complete your education."

"Sparky and I sense that a new problem is arising."

"What sort of a problem?"

"We are not certain but will reveal it when we are."

Robert turned to James. "Did you ever think it would be like this?"

James smiled. "Not really, but It's probably part of the experiment."

Robert smiled. "In other words, God wanted to know if we were openminded enough to trust an infant and a dog to predict the future."

James laughed. "That's a good way to put it."

Robert turned to Baby Jack. "How smart is Sparky?"

"He is a genius, Grand Dad."

Robert didn't know how to react to that statement, so he smiled. "That's nice."

Baby Jack smiled and Sparky added a bark before the two walked away.

Janet, Sylvia and Amy arrived and sat down.

"You guys just wasting time here?" Janet said with a teasing grin.

Robert turned to her without reacting. "Baby Jack told us that Sparky is a genius."

Janet reacted with a mocking smirk. "Baby Jack told you that Sparky is a genius. You're kidding, right?"

"Nope, that's what he said."

"How is that even possible?" Amy asked.

"How is anything about us possible?" Robert replied.

"He might be right," Sylvia said. "Baby Jack is proficient in calculus and theoretical physics."

Robert chuckled. "Who would have thought that it would be like this."

"I think it shows that we're completely out of it," Amy said. "And that might be why we're able to deal with it. We aren't subject to the laws of physics or any other laws for that matter."

"The one exception is God's laws," Robert said. "I truly believe that the fact that we aren't really a threat to the world and we're willing to help save people without demanding anything is the reason we're still on track."
