Ethan woke the next morning with a song lingering in his head, namely “Rude” by the pop group Magic, recorded in 2014, one hundred and twenty-six years in the future. “Saturday morning jumped out of bed and put on my best suit....” Causing him to smile, it surprised him. The ambivalence had subsided with sleep, as well as the all-consuming remorse. He had not thought of music of any era since arriving in this one, his mind possessed with other matters. Yes, he’d passed by a few street vendors with a musician nearby them on a sidewalk and there were bawdy, raucous beer songs flying about Ten Bells. It was entertaining enough, but for Ethan, it was not real music, ethereal compositions that had moved him someplace deep within his soul. In that instant, Ethan longed to visit the symphony orchestra, aching for a concerto. Although not overly fond of a song still stuck in his mind, burned into his memory bank in 2014, it made him smile because he felt weight being lifted from his psyche. It made him feel lighter, as if floating on a feather in a cloud.

A profound relationship existed between Ethan and his muse, as music was his truest love, the one who would never leave him. That subtle yet sublime connection occurred between him and melodies, sometimes just the poetic lyrics. Their union, a communion between the spirit of the composer and listener was something sacred. Whether it was his favorite classical station turned down low in his office while he worked, jazz when conducting tutorials, it was omnipresent, providing the pleasant backdrop he needed but his flat was his sanctuary. He owned the best sound system known to mankind, redefining the phrase state-of-the-art and worth the investment. Music played an integral role in Ethan’s life. It was a part of him, the missing piece in this puzzling leap of faith he’d taken into the past. In a flicker came the epiphany. There was nothing and no one to stop him from fulfilling his heartfelt desire.

The Consortium had provided him with enough currency to stay a year. Perhaps a trip to central London was in order while he was here, to attend a concert and take in a show. It was perfect, just what the doctor ordered for himself! Yes! An inspired idea. If only briefly, for an evening, Ethan needed to escape the horrors of what he had done and cope with the possibilities of what was to come, events he had to plan for and execute, if need be. His entire Scope schedule would have to be revamped. Should Jack fail to show up again, he had to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Annie Chapman. That night, an event destined to occur in the not too distant future here in the past, that night would clarify history. Truth be told, the characters who’d be present at the scene of that crime would tell all, revealing everything Ethan had a desperate need to know.
