Basil couldn't focus during the game. It was a good thing he wasn't playing, he would cause the team to lose. All he could think of was the dream and how dad reacted this morning. The crowd went wild as a ball flew into the outfield, landing Matt on second. What if dad does something to affect that dream today? Maybe Dad will catch Gary and Hodge again. But that seemed only to be wishful thinking. The dream made it felt set. Who was that guy? The space around him seemed to vibrate. Nothing physically changed but he could feel it on his skin. Like space had a shiver. Basil looked around to see if anyone else felt it too but if they did they were hiding it well. Bridgette was sitting at the very top talking to her friend. They were smiling and laughing.

"Did you feel that?" He leaned over and asked Mom.

"Feel what?" She gave him a confused look.

"Never mind." He directed his attention at the dirt ground between the bleacher seats. Come on Matt! When the game already! I need to talk to you! He tried to push his thoughts into his brother's head. Part of him wanted to run till he knew he was safe from whatever was going on. But you can't run from space. Soon enough the game was over but he still couldn't talk to him, not with all these people around. He tried his hardest to keep them moving to the car so they go back home.

"When we get home I need to talk to you." Basil whispered as they made their way back to the car.

After what felt like forever they were in his room with the door closed.

"So what's up?" Matt made himself comfortable in his desk chair. Basil instantly told him about his dream and about how Dad acted this morning. Not leaving anything out. He made sure to tell him about what he felt during the game. Matt conformed what he already thought, he was the only to have felt it. Basil was starting to freak out. Why was it only him that felt this way? Never had he felt so alone. He was used to being on his own but this was different, he felt isolated.

"Space having a shiver, now that's ironic!" Matt laughed. Basil knew he was trying to make him feel better but it wasn't working. He sat down on his bed and something feel on his leg. It was his plush toy of Lil' Owl. Its big yellow eyes and purples feathers were comforting. You understand me, don't you? He smiled at the toy. The rest of the day they brainstormed on what everything meant. At dinner Dad looked like he had something important to say. He was constantly running his hand through his hair. That only happened when he learn of stressing news.

"Alright Jesse what is? You obviously have something on your mind." Mom sat her fork down on the plate. Dad sighed and rubbed his hands through his hair again.

"Yesterday my projection Sam Chase sent three kids into the wrong time and place, double crossing me. Everything turned out fine but he created another version of time and changed his name to Second Chance. So today when we were returning a missing kid, time froze." Dad started. Basil shot straight up. Matt and Basil stared at each other knowing what the other was thinking. The shiver! That's what it was! Somehow he managed to feel time stop then start again.

"Matt, Basil is everything ok?" Dad asked.

"Yea we're fine. Continue." Matt covered for them. He eyed them skeptically. Giving up he continued.

"Albert Einstein was thinking about the wrong things and we returned Emily/ Lieserl to her place in hopes that would fix things. But it didn't right away. Mileva, his wife, learned about time travel and did some really risky things." He went silent. It wasn't long for him to get going but it felt like forever for Basil.

"It turns out I'm the second child of Albert Einstein, Tete." He couldn't believe what he was hearing. His Dad was the son of one of the most famous scientist ever known.

"I'm a directly related to Albert and Mileva Einstein!" Bridgette broke in a huge smile. Oh great, something else for her brag about. Dad nodded but happy, distraught. Matt looked at him then shifted his eyes back and forth between him and Dad. He wanted him to tell him about his dream. He couldn't do that, could he? Swallowing he spoke up,

"Ah Dad?" His eyes were heavy, pleading with him for whatever he was going to be good news.

"Never mind." He backed down. Basil turned to Matt who gave him a sad smile shrugging his shoulders. Dinner time was becoming very depressing.

Basil and Matt were using that last bit daylight to shoot hoops.

"Well at least we figured out what was caused that feeling today." Matt took a shot and the ball got perfectly wedged between the rim and the backboard. It was the perfect presentation of his life recently. Extremely weird stuff happening and he couldn't do anything about it. He gave him a quick hand up so he knock the ball free. Why am I so sure that it was time freezing that caused that feeling not the time split. Or is I just felt both at once somehow? None of it made sense. Who was that man? His thoughts switched the mysterious scary person that Gary and Hodge now work for. More importantly what would happen next?
