Chapter 13

It was hard to fathom that millions of people would die in the future because Sarah's parents’ relationship had ended badly. Sarah knew what a linchpin was. She understood the domino effect of changing time. Her adopted mother had instilled that belief in her from a very young age when one of her mentors died. Sarah had asked her mom to go back in time and save him. It wasn't okay then, and it wasn’t okay now.

Foster walked over to her and rested his hands around her shoulders, pulling Sarah into his chest. He kissed her temple. "Everything will be fine. You have to trust me."

"The last time I trusted you I almost died from drowning."

Foster chuckled. The vibration from his chest made her grin. At least he didn't deny the truth. Sarah slipped out of his arms and turned to Zeke. "How exactly are you going to send me back?"

She didn't miss the look he and Foster shared. There was concern in each of their eyes, and that told her one thing; whatever they had planned probably was not a good idea.

An alarm blared through the building, piercing her eardrums. Zeke hurried down the stairs to where all of the screens were located on the walls. Foster grabbed her hand and held tight as if connecting them brought safety. They ran behind Zeke. They reached the bottom stair to find more than just one screen with her picture on it. Several screens were lit up now. AI police had surrounded the building.

"I guess they're not friendlies?"

Foster gestured to the TV screen. "I see you made a friend in the year 2130."

She spun toward the screen to find the nanny that had lent her the driver and car talking to a reporter. She and her driver had given up her location.

"Get her into the chamber so I can send you two back,” Zeke ordered while continuing to push buttons.

Sarah watched in horror on the screen as a fire burst out on the downstairs floor.

"Do you think it's wise he's putting this place on fire when there's no water in this time?"

Foster pulled her through the building. He yanked open something akin to a supply closet door, pulled her into the darkness, and slammed it shut.

“Aren’t we a little too old for hiding in a closet?” she asked.

“Foam will put out the fire, and we aren’t hiding; we’re traveling. Now close your eyes and just don't let go of me whatever you do. This might hurt."

"I have time traveled before. It didn’t hurt."

"Yeah, well, we're doing it illegally, so we don't have all of the accommodations you provide at your facility. The places he's going to send us probably aren't supplied with necessities that we’ll need. Whatever you do, don’t let go of my hand."

She grabbed his hands and closed her eyes just as she felt the pull from the travel. Blue and white electrical streams attacked their bodies and the floor around them as if trying to use them as a grounding agent like the metal bar back home in the transponder room.
