“You can stop playing around now. How did you get here?” Braxton had never been so relieved in his life to see anyone as he was to see Foy. He had no idea why his teacher wielded a gun but they’d get to that in a second.

Braxton shook and sweat dripped down his face. That Incubus had been rough, harder than he’d handled in years. He was going to have to take on more challenging cases so he didn’t get this out of practice again.

Assuming he ever got back to his own time and could do such a thing.

“You think I’m playing? I have no idea who you are and I don’t like that you know who I am. Other than to Pendleton, my name should be unrecognizable.”

Braxton’s head pounded. Could this day get any stranger? “You’re Jack Foy. Correct?”

“Only my friends call me Jack and I don’t have too many of those.” Foy pulled out his gun and once again raised it, pointing the weapon at Braxton’s head. That was getting old and it was strange to see his mentor wielding a weapon. They’d stayed away from firearms in their training with him.

Braxton raised his hands. “Are you going to shoot an unarmed man? Doesn’t seem very Zen of you.”

“I’m not sure what you just said.”

“Have you hit your head?” Or maybe the time travel had done something to him to make him this strange. All Braxton knew for certain was that he couldn’t continue until he had the Foy he needed by his side, not this strange person who looked and sounded like his mentor but acted nothing like the man he knew.

We lived in your house. You raised us, fed us, educated us and trained us to be warriors against the evil terrorizing the world.”

He hadn’t uttered those words quite that way ever before. There had never been a need. Foy knew what he had done for Braxton and the others. Why bother discussing it with him? Particularly because their master had always been so resistant to discussing the details of those times.

“Why the fuck would I do that?” Foy lowered his gun. “I’m not some kind of charity organization. I don’t even like kids. I can promise you I don’t remember doing that. Yesterday I spent the day drunk and debauched in a bar about one hour south of here. I don’t remember the details too well but the call girls I entertained could probably vouch for me. I’ve never met you and I certainly didn’t bring you up.”

“I don’t know how you could have enjoyed the ladies because I know that yesterday, which would be almost sixty years from
