Monday arrives as Kevin wakes up to start his new job at the Time Paradox AFL.
He showered and made himself breakfast despite his nerves were going crazy.
All this stress was for a good reason as he grabbed his sketch pad and pencils.
Along with his wallet, cellphone and keys as he locked the door to start his new job.
He arrived to see Gwenevere was typing stuff and answering the phone which spooked him.

As far as he knew, she just either did her nails, checking her facebook profile or working on what looked like a voodoo doll of Albedo.
Kevin was greeted by Albedo who was preparing the medication for the day while Michael was loading bed sheets and pans.
Albedo handed him a silver key card and a code to enter Max's room since high security and all was placed on his room.
Kevin came to Max's room which had a padlock with a keypad and card slider instead of those one that has a old time key.

He also noticed the security cameras were watching him finally after all this time of putting it off.
Kevin entered the room to see Max was doing pull-ups as he saw his clipboard and pen on the small table.
Max stopped his exercise and turned around to smile as he saw Kevin enter his room with a book.

" Hey Kevin I wasn't expecting to see you today."

Max said as he changed his shirt and placing the sweaty one in a basket for laundry.

" Well I'm here to make sure you don't try anything and to help you get out of here."

Kevin replied as he saw a photo on the dresser and before he could see it, he found a chair and sat down.

" It's nice to know something believes me. I just hope the dragon doesn't harm my family."

Max said as he was folding his clothes to put away for the week or so it seemed.

" If this dragon wanted to hurt you, he would have done something about it by now right?"

Kevin asked politely seeing Max check for something in the dresser before closing it.

" That's true Kevin, but why risk anything. So how are things going with you and Ben?"

Max chuckled as Kevin almost fell out of his seat from shock and mostly confusion.

" WWhat makes you think there's anything going on between us?"

Kevin asked curiously as he redid his seat and watched Max carefully.

" Well most of the people here have grand kids and they won't stop talking about you and Ben at the Burger Shack last friday. He was really happy seeing you again, happiest I've seen him these past five years."

Max said as he finished folding his clothes and putting them away.

" Is his cousin giving him any trouble or is someone bothering him?"

Levin asked guessing Gwen was still on Ben to hook up with that Julie chick.

" Well now that you mention it, she keeps trying to set him up with a girl who acts like her. I wish she would stop and it would make me feel better if Ben went out with you."

Max said looking at Kevin with hope in his eyes remembering how they acted last time with each other.
Kevin felt awed at this information, but he did promise to help Ben free him after all this time.
So work was easy since him and Max talked most of the time about things they had in common.
When Max took his nap, Kevin recorded his observation and then ate his lunch quietly.

Soon it was time to go and he went to sign out before he saw Albedo being harassed by Michael.
Kevin went toward them and tripped Michael, making the pretty boy fall into the hamper cart full of soiled bed sheets.
Albedo, along with the nurses and patients laughed loudly as Michael growled as he tried to get out.
Kevin winked at Albedo as he left the building and drove to Saundra's office for their appointment.

Kevin walked in the building and made his way to her office hoping no one or the cameras caught him doing that.
He sat down in the comfy chair as Saundra asked him about his weekend and how work went.
Time seemed to fly as they talked until it was time to go like the saying time flies when you're having fun.
Kevin handed her the sketchbook and hoped his nerves would calm down after having it for so long.

Saundra smiled as Kevin left home and she opened the sketchbook, amazed by Kevin's art skills.
The first drawing almost made her heart stop, the boy sitting on the tree stump looked just her son when he was ten years old.
The next one was of his green and black camaro, one had Kevin and Ben as wolves running in the moon light.
Another was of them as dragon creatures flying around each other, their tails trying to intertwine with each other.

One had Ben and Kevin sleeping in a field of flowers, followed by one was of them kissing and one of Ben in a casual pose.
The final drawing was of Ben as a teenager inside a heart with a question mark with the words Yes and No on each side.

' These must reflect what he's been dreaming about and it has to do with my son?

I wonder if Ben met him before because at the AFL they acted like they met before.'

Saundra thought as she placed the sketch book in her bag as she went home and make sure she didn't leave anything open.
She got home no problem as she saw her husband Carl and Ben making dinner and setting the table.
It was an organic dinner of a soybean casserole, mashed potatoes, salad with celery beet juice.
Meanwhile Julie and Gwen where chatting on their cell phones about clothes, makeup and then something else.

" Are you serious you saw Ben on a date with a guy at the Burger Shack?"

" Yes I am sure. This guy was a year older and way too hot to be from around here."

" Well unless you have a name and picture it doesn't really narrow it down."

" He said his name was Kevin Levin. Also that he and Ben were together a long time ago...Gwen?"

Gwen didn't hear Julie as the name brought up memories from five years ago on that summer road trip.

" Huh? Oh sorry I had to plug in my phone, low battery."

" I took a photo of him before I left. I'll send it to you now and tell me what you think."

The call ended as Gwen saw the receive picture message appear on the screen as it stared to load
Soon the picture revealed Ben sitting across from a tall, muscular boy with long black hair and pale skin.
Gwen saved the photo and then searched her laptop for a folder labeled Unknown Summer Incidents.
She opened it to reveal information and photos taken during that summer and one of them was Kevin as a kid.
She compared the two photos and almost dropped her cell phone from the shock as the case was scratched.

' Kevin Levin is back and he's with my cousin Ben? What is he up to now and where has he been?'

Gwen thought as she called Julie back and continued their conversation before talking about Kevin Levin.
