Ambush

✨

JACK AND STACEY hugged each other when they saw the familiar sights of their home world outside the broken windows. Jack said cheerfully to the room, “Look us up when you get back. I’d love to hear about all the trouble you get in.”

Neil nodded, with the knowledge that he’d probably never even attempt to look them up. They were strangers to him.

Kim gave them a weak smile as they walked through the doors. The moment they did, they were blown to bits by what looked like laser beams that made awful crackle sounds like fat frying in a pan.

Kara screamed and Jim said, “It’s the dog men! They were waiting for us to come back.”

With her index finger, Kara dragged the last entry into the rectangular box on the screen and hit the button before the dog men had a chance to disable the device.

They vanished, leaving the evaporated bodies of Jack and Stacey behind.

It had come as a total shock to them so no one knew how to react.

Sandy was shaking when she said, “That means we can never return or they’ll kill us next. We’re stuck.”

Kara shook her head and then said hopefully, “I was thinking, we could try and move away from the diner before we jump back home. Maybe if we move a mile away, we’ll arrive a mile away from where the ambush is waiting for us.”

They all mulled it over but it didn’t hold water. Neil said, “If it was that easy, the Morians wouldn’t be waiting for us at that exact spot. If we try it your way and you’re wrong, we’ll fall into their tap again, right where they’re waiting for us.”

“You’re probably right. There must be another way to get home safely, though.”

They were now effectively banished from their home world. Everything they’d done was to return home and now that wasn’t even a possibility. They each came to terms with it in their own way.

Finally, when the mood became too dark, Neil said, “Let’s jump again to a different world, just in case they have a way to track us. They’ve found us before. Then we can figure out what to do next.”

Kara said, “You’re right. I’ll jump to the world we lost Larry on.”

Jim asked, “Is that still on the agenda? Now that we know we can’t return home, I thought we’d take a minute to come up with a new plan.”

Neil agreed with Kara. “We need to move on and since fetching Larry was already on our list of things to do, I say we do it. In the mean time, we can try and come up with another solution to our predicament.” He didn’t know if there was an alternate solution but he knew they couldn’t dwell too long because the dog men might track them down.

Sandy nodded and said aloud, “I wonder if he ever found his daughter.
