The woman calling herself Heather went to hug him, but he backed away. "Who are you?" he demanded again, already having lost count of how many times he had asked that question and beyond losing his temper at not having it answered. "And how did you get into my laboratory? I locked it when I came in here." How long ago had that been? he asked himself. Five years? A few seconds?

The woman looked at him with genuine puzzlement, then said—more to herself than to him for she didn't intend it to be aloud, "He must have amnesia."

There was a temporary stun caused by the trip through time, he admitted to himself, but it had worn off. And the fall after saving young Washington wouldn't have caused him to see what he was now seeing. Unless I'm dreaming, he thought. Maybe I did get a concussion and this is all just a dream. Surreptitiously he pinched himself and was disappointed to feel the pain. Can you dream pain? he wondered. He stood up straighter and demanded, "What are you doing in my laboratory?"

The woman backed away from him and said incredulously, "You really don't know me, do you?" She looked as if she were trying to look into his eyes and see completely into his thoughts or his soul. It had an unnerving effect on Garison as it seemed like she might actually be able to do it.

"No ma'am, I do not," he replied. Anger wasn't working, he told himself, so he thought he would try to approach things as rationally as possible. Maybe he could figure out her secret. He had never seen her before—of that he was sure—but, yet . . .

"Do you know who you are?" she asked. She had heard once that the first thing to explore in a possible amnesia case was whether the person knew their own identity. Being the most personal part of a person's psyche, if it were gone, there was a serious problem.

He looked at her with exasperation, "Of course I do. I am Garison Fitch, lawyer and wood-worker and one-time physicist. And I would like to know what you are doing in my laboratory, please!"

"'One time'?" she muttered, the confusion growing.

She stepped closer again and looked into his eyes as if she were trying to see what was wrong inside his head, again. It almost seemed as if she could see right down into his heart and the feeling made him not just uncomfortable but mad. He turned away, then was irritated by her actions and turned back to demand, "Once and for all, who are you?!"

"I'm Heather Fitch," she replied meekly. "You really don't remember me?" When she said it, it occurred to him that it was with genuine fear. He was starting to put some credence into his theory that she had been brain-washed.

Thoughts began to reel through her mind as rapidly as they had flown through Garison's during the voyage. She had heard of people being afflicted
