1984 Current Time.
At the Morgan Home.
'and in the Caribbean Ocean'.

While Benjamin J. Morgan was facing astounding odds down in the Caribbean, his father (Edward), Ann and Bobby (who's real name is Charles) were sitting in the living room several thousand miles away from Ben. When the six o'clock news came on the television; the family only paid partial attention to the news. Kelly was sitting on the floor down in front of the television looking-up at the reporter on it. He seemed to know what the man was about to say. The father was sitting in the comfy chair drinking a beer, like he sometimes did. Ann and Bobby were both sitting close together on the sofa and talking about 'baby things' from a catalog book.
The news had gotten into one of their stories about how a series of sailing ships have turned up missing these last few weeks, Seven ships in all. The latest one named 'Angel Gail', had been reported missing since last Wednesday and its believed that it went missing in the Caribbean area. Kelly turned and looked at Ann and let-out an unusual meow. Ann looked at the cat, then at the television. Looking back at Kelly, Ann said one word “Ben!?” Ann watched the cat do something that she didn't see a cat could do.
When she said her brother's name, the cat let-out a sound that moved his whole body and at the same time squinted his eyes! Ann suddenly sat up-right and was now watching the photos on the news they were showing of the twenty-two missing people in the last thirty days. Ann saw Liz, her father, mother and younger brother's pictures scroll-by. Bobby (Charles) was also aware of what she was freaking over, and he himself was a bit weirded-out.

“Dad.. That's Ben's girlfriend and her parents listed as missing in the Caribbean, just like I wrote!!”. Ann shouted-out, while pointed at the TV. Her dad looked at her, then the television but he missed most of it. “Are you sure Ann?” He asked her. “It's just like the way I wrote in my book!”. Ann finished saying.
“In the story, the boyfriend goes to the Caribbean to rescue the girlfriend and family, but only, he dies after he saves them!!”. Ann's tummy began hurting so she asked Bobby to go to her room and please bring her the binder with all of her stories. With a smile on his face Bobby went down the hall to Ann's room. He found it, picking-up the binder. he opened it and took out a small camera and took pictures of every page of the story that they were talking about. When done, he put away the camera and again picked-up the binder. He took out his pager from his belt, he set it to go off in 5 – minutes and then returned it to the living room.
He Past the binder to Ann, her father came over and sat next to Ann on the sofa. They went over the story, Ann read some of it to her dad, how the story played out. As she read, Bobby's pager began to beep, he took it from his belt and looked at it. He motioned to Ann and her father that he had to go. He kissed Ann then went out to his car and pulled away.

Two hours later, Special Agent MT. Morgan was sitting in her office, she had been here all night still holding the Hospital bracelet. She was here watching the sun come-up with tearful eyes. There was a knock at her door followed by a voice saying 'Its Charles', she opened the door.

He looked around, and noticed her moving by the window. He entered and closed the door. He now stood in her office, he noticed that she had been crying. Charles moved around the desk and sat on the other end of the sofa with several papers in his hand. He was about to ask what was the matter when she showed him the Hospital bracelet. He looked it over, he noticed it was somewhat burnt but read the bracelets name.
“Then you need to read these!”. He said passing the pages to her. Reluctantly, she took the pages and begin to glance through them.
