The trigger was pulled and time after time the chamber reloaded and recoiled as it expelled its red hot projectiles. Each one wound its way down the barrel, twisting faster and faster as it neared the eventual exit.

She looked at the screen in front of her and sighed. It had started out as a bad day and definitely had not progressed as she had expected. Usually work was enough to keep her mind occupied, but today there was something different in the air. She nursed her wandering consciousness, flicking through the various screens at her terminal. The display panel switched dully in its usual monotonous way. There was nothing to report.

He sat there, reading. The sun was warm and the beach was beautiful. Through the waving of the palm trees he occasionally felt a burst of sunlight on his legs, his torso and head being completely in shade. This was just what he needed. He picked up the drink from his side and sipped it slowly. It wasn’t alcoholic, just cool, refreshing his senses and filling him with a feeling of relaxation.

The man hadn’t taken a holiday in years, previous events had meant he just couldn’t afford it. Now, finally he was able to give his family something they had desperately needed; a nice long vacation, somewhere hot, sunny, and relaxing.

As he walked to the Zone for what would be the last time, his mind was set on completely different things. For a start he had a love interest now. He didn’t know entirely who Zane had been talking about, but the pretty young blond seemed like a good place to start.

Oken had never had time for relationships, he had never had time for anyone other than himself. Or Ruben. Though he felt bad for thinking it, Ruben was fairly low maintenance. He didn’t have to be anyone different around the man. Ruben accepted him for who he was, a slightly kooky, rather odd, obsessive warrior.

Zane left the building confused and alone. His dreams had been crushed. Oken had refused to even consider his request and he was more than a little angry. It was after all Oken’s fault. He had been the one who had created a temporal weapon in the first place. He was the one who had used it in the Zone. Shouldn’t he be the one to fix everything?

She wandered through the streets aimlessly and in pain. They looked familiar, but everything was sufficiently different that it felt like she was in a completely different place. In truth she was, separate two locations by enough time and they can become vastly different, she thought. The city looked drab and boring. Much of the colour present in her time had faded away with her trip.

As he was flung into the air, he felt the train shift through him. In an instant he could see every part of the carriages as they ripped through his out of phase body. The pain, once again, was excruciating, made all the more real by the cuts and bruises he had sustained. As his body started convulsing, his lacerations opened up, pouring blood into the void that was the shell. It swirled in the viscous ether, defying gravity and all laws of physics. It hung in the air and coated the otherwise perfectly white shell with a worrying tone of pink.

The knock on the door had taken them all by surprise and the figure behind the knock shocked Jolie even more. Ruben stood there now at the door to the basement, watching Zane who was frantically pacing the floor. Just what had changed his mind? What had made him suddenly come rushing over to their aid.

β€œIt wasn’t addressed to my father,” said Kiele. β€œIt was addressed to someone called Jessie. How do you even know it was him?”

It was a good question, but Zane already knew the answer. His father had told him that many people involved in the G-TEP had to go by aliases to protect their past. He informed Kiele and she shrank back. So it was really true. The taxi was moving faster now, splashing through the wet roads.

Zane arrived at the school shortly before his morning lessons were due to begin. Kiele hadn’t appeared, but then he didn’t care. He had been hanging on to the hope that there was still something there between them, but there wasn’t any point now.
