Suggested correction: His wife died at 4 am in Phoenix, Arizona, while he was in Boston, Massachusetts.

Even with the time difference it's still pretty late to be blowing leaves.

Depending on the time of year, Boston can be three hours ahead of Phoenix. 7:00 AM is hardly too late to be blowing leaves.

Question: The whisper people bring the selected boy and girl to safety before the final day of earth. Why do they plant a message to be found and decoded just before the final day? I do not think the whisper people need any help from any humans to save humanity (and organize a whisperers' version of Noah's Ark).

Answer: There is no intention on the part of the whisper people to warn humanity as a whole, merely a select group of children who appear, due to their telepathic powers, to be the next stage in human evolution, and their respective guardians.
