Instead, I would spend the remainder of my life in one universe and she in another, and my son with her. A son I would never see. By the time the car service dropped me off at my home in Mill Valley, the sun was setting behind the green pinnacle of Mt. When I was a child the orange glow of the sunset over the mountains always made me happy; it meant Santa's elves were baking cookies. I no longer believed in Santa and his elves, nor could I believe I'd ever be happy again.

In the last three weeks I had lost the two things that had defined my existence: It only deepened my misery that the night before she left, Keiko told me she was pregnant with our son. Of those three weeks, I'd spent the last two locked up in a cold cubicle in a French jail.

How to become an Outlier

Except for a few catnaps, I couldn't sleep. Who could have in my place? The French cops had accused me of killing six people. I didn't want to think about any of that misery. I wanted to go to bed and sleep without remembering the nightmare of the last few weeks, so I took two sleeping pills. The little pills worked. Within minutes after I trudged into my house, I collapsed onto my bed's soft duvet. I slept like a baby until she appeared. Keiko's image hovered like a human-sized Tinker Bell against the background of the blackness of sleep. She wore the vermilion trumpet gown of Tirano's High Sibyl.

She was as beautiful as ever with her almond-shaped hazel eyes, enchanting smile on glistening pink lips, and silky black hair with a loose strand curling around one ear. I could even smell the musky perfume she always wore. I remembered the pleasant tingle when she'd touched my implant. She'd promised that we'd be together again someday.

My heart beat faster and chased away my three-week long gloom. My wish had somehow been granted. Her fingers rubbed the fire opal pendant on her trine necklace.

You're only memories downloaded to my implant. It'll be just like it was with Quincy's implant of his Tarnlot memories. The only time I'll be able to see you is when I'm asleep. I'll only have virtual reality dreams of things from the past. My download is interactive. We can discuss anything we want. Like why it's taken you so long to return?

Where have you been? I knew I'd never get out of France otherwise. And even if I did, the police would track me down in Mill Valley.

Since Brad and Morgado weren't around to follow-up and Quant's body would never be found, I figured Zhun'Mar had been correct; that the police would think their report was a hoax and I'd be released in a few hours. I have never been more wrong. What did they do? I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life in a French jail.

How did you get out? One of the first things they asked me was what happened to you and Monsieur and Madame Courtois. I knew that if lied and made up a story that I'd have to pile falsehood on falsehood. Sooner or later I'd stumble and tell some inconsistency they'd exploit to show I wasn't telling the truth. It'd only make it look like I had in fact killed all of you. I decided to follow my own advice and tell the truth no matter how outrageous it seemed. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to hide the truth. If I had told you a month ago that I was an alien, you wouldn't have believed me.

How could you expect them to believe you? When the gendarmes finished questioning me, they called in three shrinks to interview me. I thought the shrinks were trying to decide if I was insane or a cold-blooded murderer. Even they must have believed me because it turned out the third one, Dr. Michel Avril, was really a cosmologist in the French government.

He believed my story that Tarnlot showed me star maps of the fissure's cycle and that you, Zhun'Mar, and Mirae returned to Tirano through the fissure. Avril, the French tracked your shuttle until it disappeared. They didn't know what it was, and the American government accused them of developing a stealth missile. I drew a star map of that night and your ship disappeared exactly where I showed Avril the fissure opened. He thinks he can eventually convince me to reveal the fissure's periodic openings so that the French can travel to your universe. Is that why they let you go?

I told him to go to hell. I wasn't going to take a chance that the Radani could access my knowledge of the fissure's cycles and destroy both Earth and Tirano. He tried to bribe me by promising I could go through with the first ship so I could make contact with you. Of course, I still refused, but he thinks I'll eventually change my mind. As a show of his good intentions, he released me.

He said the French would know where I was at all times and would never permit me to contact anyone but them. I don't want anything to happen to you. Won't they be suspicious about my disappearance? He released a news story that Hale and Morgado abducted you and Mr. Courtois in order to blackmail me. Supposedly, all of you died in a plane that crashed into the Mediterranean and the plane was never located. The story may serve to deflect suspicion from me, but I still don't know if I can face all the questions about what happened.

But I'll worry about that later.

A Fool For A Client

All I want now is for you to snuggle to me so I can hold you tight. I can appear like this, but I can't take a physical form. First Quincy's Tarnlot memories that I never wanted, now this new torture. I should have known that Tiranoan technology would grant my wish to see you again and thereby increase my sorrow. But I can't stand to see you so forlorn. If my being here like this makes you feel worse, I can uninstall the program and leave you in peace.

I had to choose which would be worse. The pain of never holding her or the bitter-sweetness of seeing her in this way. If she uninstalled, I'd lose everything. I couldn't bear that.
