Jayda and Zander leave Washington, DC, and return to Albuquerque, satisfied that they have completed their mission for President Jackson. They are bursting with joy for the unborn child Jayda carries and are keen to share the news of their blessing with those they love: Abe, Emilio, Zander's parents, his sister, Izzie, and Dr. Bickel.
The couple can finally let down their guard: No enemies stalk them and no plots to overthrow the nation peer at them from beyond the horizon. They relax into a normal life-as "normal" as life with the nanomites can be-finding work, making a home, renewing relationships with their church family at Downtown Christian Center, growing in their faith, spending time with family, and looking forward to the birth of their child around the first week of April.
Their "normal" life doesn't last long.
The nanomites-ever vigilant and alert to the virtual world-become increasingly uneasy. They are unable to "put their fingers on" the source of their agitation, but whatever is happening? It is happening globally.
And the nanomites repeatedly tell Jayda and Zander,
Jesus has told us to protect you and the child. He says you have important work ahead of you. It is our job to watch over and safeguard your family
.
What is the "important work" Jesus wants of Jayda and Zander? Why has Jesus spoken to the nanomites about this work, but not to them? And why are the nanomites increasingly alarmed for their safety?
