CHAPTER FOURTEEN

‘So we are agreed, there is enough mystery around the event pertaining to Dirk’s sister’s and niece’s disappearance to allow us to investigate further,’ Jac announced to the meeting that had been convened in the Retrievers Centre.

‘Do we tell him?’ Krista asked, uncomfortable with keeping this from her Key any longer than they already had. It had been a day ago that she’d found out the results of the search.

She had discovered that no other names were missing from the manifest for that transport. That meant something out of the ordinary had happened to the mother and child. Something that could have involved Jumpers from the future. It was enough of an incentive to have them exploring further.

‘He’s going to get suspicious if we don’t tell him what we’ve found. Roeder is no fool. He’s an astute judge of character and situation. Krista won’t be able to hide anything from him,’ Luke said.

Jac nodded and then looked at Chen and Cara. They both nodded their agreement.

‘Then he will be told. But it is imperative that he realises that he can have no part in the mission. He is dead to that world.’

Krista nodded her agreement, but realised just how difficult it would be keeping Dirk out of the action. He would not be happy to stay on the sidelines.

And that proved exactly to be the case when she and Luke went back to the villa to fill him in on the plans. They sat him down in the living room, on one of the plush, overstuffed lounge chairs that faced the wall of glass that looked out over a placid blue ocean and cloudless sky.

‘The Gestapo have them?’ Dirk broke in, after hearing the significant details of the situation. ‘Then I have to go back and save them. There is no question that I will be involved in their rescue.’ Dirk squared his jaw stubbornly and crossed his arms over his chest.

Luke stood his ground just as firmly. ‘You can’t. End of story. You will have to trust us to do this. We have more experience than you on missions like this.’

‘You don’t know the Gestapo like I do. I know the transports, their routes. They’re kept secret for a reason. They can take any number of paths to the detention centre. I would prefer to remove them before they are taken, to save them the trauma of …’

‘You can’t. History has them taken into custody. If you want us to try to save them then you have to let us do it our way,’ Luke demanded.

‘Gretchen will be terrified. You want me to agree to allow a little girl to be terrified, so that your history doesn’t alter?’ Dirk yelled, his eyes sparking furiously as he got right up in Luke’s face.

‘It is not my history. It is our history. We have no idea what changes could be set in motion if history doesn’t play out as it was meant to, even if we could change it, which we don’t think is possible.
