Jezebel that her jewels no longer exist!”
“So it is all virtual reality, isn’t it?” Levi grimaced and it looked like he was going to gag.
Magena looked from one brother and back to the other. “What does that mean?”
Levi composed himself. “It means that if there are no traces of the jewels in this time zone, then DiBenedetto is going to try to pull them out of the virtual world. That is how evil he is. There’s no telling what the effects will be in reality if something of that mass is invented in the virtual world.”
“How so?”
“He could invent bombs. It could be the end of the world as we know it.”
“So what are you going to do?”
“We’re still looking for Daniel.”
CHAPTER TEN
Daniel
Daniel looked out the window of his father’s private jet and watched as the world quickly passed him by. It seemed almost prophetic.
He was allowed to roam around the jet once they took off, because he couldn’t go anywhere, anyway. No words were exchanged between his father and him after they took off.
Every once in a while, he would glare at the older DiBenedetto with contempt. Daniel wanted to see some emotion come out of him, but only saw a stoic, proud man. He wanted to go over and hit him until his hands were broken and bloody. Something to get rid of the frustration. But then he would feel guilty for thinking such thoughts.
The henchmen paid him no mind either. They focused all of their attention on watching TV or keeping an eye on Dante.
Daniel continued to look out the window as his mind wandered back to Magena, wondering where she was. He assumed that she would have awakened in the same kind of facility that he had, with the same tubes sticking out of her. He hoped she wasn’t in the same one he had been in. His father would have no use for her and she would therefore be discarded.
He had to believe that she was still alive. Perhaps she escaped from wherever they were before. If so, her chances were hopeful.
Still, there was no clue as to where he had been imprisoned. His father loved proving he knew more mysteries than Daniel. Especially now.
The fact that Dante underestimated his son was actually beneficial to Daniel. He now knew he was monitored while with the fake Jezebel . He also knew that his father must have already found out what happened there, or else he would have his own son interrogated.
Daniel remembered all the times he tried to get his father’s attention while growing up. Then, when he couldn’t do it by excelling in any one area, he got Dante’s attention by creating chaos wherever he went.
When he realized that his father didn’t seem to care about him, he used his mother as a role model. He smiled when he remembered how loving and nurturing she was. But even she stopped growing as a human being. He also remembered that his father managed a way to destroy her as well.
Shaking his head to clear the painful memories, Daniel decided to plot his next course of action. He knew his father had something to do with where he was and since he knew him so well, he guessed Dante was looking for something unique that would make him a lot of money.
He strained to think of any of Dante’s contacts that would have been able to come up with something that unusual. While traveling in the different world, he felt strange all along. It was as real as it now felt for him sitting on the jet.
Then his imagination got the better of him. Maybe he wasn’t really on a jet and maybe his father wasn’t sitting across from him with a smug grin. Either way, he knew that this had something to do with the weird, phony Jezebel . His best guess was the jewels, but the treasure supposedly didn’t really exist. There was no way the treasure could ever be real. Was there?
That had to be Dante’s diversion. Daniel felt a cold chill go up his spine that told him he was on the right track. He had felt confident that his father was trying to take a non-existent treasure from a Biblical
