Steve first met Malone at a party when he was 13 years old. Malone was there with someone from his school. Steve couldn't recall ever seeing Malone after the party, but it's possible that they may have done something together.
The next time, Steve saw Malone was at college. Malone was visiting a friend and Steve invited him out for a beer. After that night, Malone disappeared again.
Several years later, Steve was on a business trip to Texas when he ran into Malone at a golf course. They played a game of golf and then had dinner.Later on in his hotel room, Steve pondered the encounter.
It seemed strange to him that he kept running into Malone at random locations over a couple of decades, but he couldn't come up with any explanation.
Steve eventually married and on a vacation to France he ran into Malone at a winery. Once again they had dinner together. Malone was in France because of some business venture. Half-way through the dinner.Steve complained of a headache and went back to his room.
After the trip, Steve accepted a new job in the Midwest far from his roots in California. Steve and his wife Laura were very happy and were blessed with two fine sons.
While at a Little League game to watch his oldest son play Catcher, Steve was astonished to see Malone in the bleachers. Malone of course spotted him. Malone said he was working as a long-haul trucker and needed a break from the road so he stopped to watch the game.
Steve didn't believe any of it. Still, he couldn't come up with any reason for his encounters with Malone. Malone was always friendly and had never threatened or done anything remotely hostile. If Steve went to the police, they would think he was crazy.
Fifteen years later, Steve and his wife divorced. The happy life together that he had envisioned somehow disappeared. Steve moved to Florida and was not in the least surprised to run into Malone.
Malone was working as a salesman for an equipment manufacturer and was negotiating an order with a local distributor. For once, Steve was actually happy to see Malone. The divorce had been painful and his boys were away at college and he rarely heard from them.
Steve moved back to California after he retired. One day while walking on the beach, he noticed a figure in the distance. It was of course Malone.
Steve bought some burgers and he and Malone ate on the beach. "Have you ever wondered why we keep running into each other in different places over such a long period of time?" he asked Malone. Malone nodded " I have this talent that I wasn't really aware of until recently.When there is someone I want to see, events come together to take me to that person." Malone replied. " I can't really explain it beyond that." he said
"Well, however you found me, I'm glad you're here" Steve replied as he offered Malone another hamburger.
