The magical swirling lights flashed in front of us. We stood in front of it prepared for our first assignment. I glanced at Mary, I was still nervous about her going into the field. Josh and Casey were remaining behind on this assignment because they had to work on their inventions, which weren’t ready.

Helen placed a hand on my shoulder. “Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m just not sure we’re ready for this.”

She shook her head. “It’s not going to be that dangerous. You will only be gone a day or two investigating the leads I gave you.”

I nodded, but she hadn’t eased my anxiety. I gripped tightly onto the pieces of paper she’d given me.

We were headed to Athens, 120 AD, to investigate two leads. All of us were dressed in ancient Greek clothing, which was surprisingly comfortable. Deon looked in his element.

“I’ll go through first,” I said, approaching the portal. “See you all on the other side.” Everyone gave me a nod and I turned and disappeared through the portal.

I fell onto a hard stone floor in our Athens’ base. Shortly after, Tom thumped down onto the floor next to me. I jumped to my feet and helped him up.

“I still never get used to time travel. It’s horrible!” he said.

I looked around at our surroundings. We were in a small home made from pretty white stone. You could hear the bustling streets outside echoing through the house.

Once the rest of the team arrived, we stood together and went over the plan.

“Right, so we’re splitting into two groups. Luciana, Julius, and Mary will be going together to the Acropolis. We will head to the theatre square.” Everyone nodded in agreement.

I turned to Tom and Deon. “Let’s get going. We want to get this done as soon as possible.”

“Let’s do it!” Deon said enthusiastically.

It was incredible being in such an ancient time of history. To see people in their day to day lives and hear them speaking Ancient Greek. The smell wasn’t so pleasant. A mix of sewage and strong spices filled the air.

The theatre was a half an hour walk. The rumor was that the Kugarar had a permanent base situated somewhere close to the theatre.

The three of us swept the area, checking for any obvious signs of modern technology. We had the element of surprise in the sense that the Kugarar weren’t aware of our presence and most likely wouldn’t hide their use of modern devices.

“How we gonna know exactly where the base is?” Tom asked, looking to me. I shrugged, feeling helpless.

“How about we split up and search the area?” Deon suggested. I wasn’t sure about splitting up, but it would help speed things up.

“Okay, but be careful and stay in this square,” I warned. Deon took off to the left and Tom went to the right, leaving me to head towards the houses in front of me. How were we going the find the base? It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I took a good look around the square and at the houses and balconies surrounding me.
