Biography[]
Hayes exercised by jogging around the woods with his wife. Arriving at a bridge, he used the opportunity to rest and take an incoming call from work. Afterward, bantering with his wife that the strain of the exercise will kill him, Mrs. Hayes cryptically replied it won't be the case. Hayes stared at her, who then pushed him off the bridge. Hayes screamed as he fell to his death.
Hayes appeared to be work acquaintances with Congressman Ted Bishop, who attended his funeral. They were in the process of passing a bill authorizing the construction of an oil pipeline amid pushback from environmental concerns, though Bishop seemed confident that the Secretary's death had no effect on it. Unbeknownst to Hayes, his wife was taken over by a Traveler, who received orders from the Future to kill him.
