This had all begun when I’d been in the hospital room with Molly, and I have to believe she’s the important key in all this. Getting to her room won’t be easy. The secret hospital wing of Rewind is well-protected and security is tight.

I should know, I’d put it all together.

Sneaking into Rewind’s main building is easy enough. I time shift through the glass doors while the guards are on rounds. The glass wobbles like an ocean wave for a bit as I slip through the stream of light onto the other side. It sort of hums as I run away toward the elevator.

I slip inside before any guards see me. Using the key I’d stolen from Miranda, I send the elevator to the thirtieth floor. It has a special bridge leadings to the hidden lab beneath the city, and that’s where I need to be.

Inside the security office, I jam the door shut and use the computer to bring up Molly’s location. The room she’d been in before is empty and there’s no record of where in the building she might be. I grab a white lab coat that’s draped over the back of a chair, and slip it on. When someone calls to check my credentials, I just keep going.

“Come back here! Miss!”

He chases me and I speed up, jumping through time to hop a few steps ahead—more than I should be able to—and I enter Molly’s room.

Or what had once been her room.

Inside, the bed is made. There are no flowers or get-well cards. The room is vacant, as if no one has been here in forever. It’s like Molly has just been erased from existence, like she has never been here—just like the records on the computer.

I tear the bed apart, pulling the pillows from their pillowcases, searching for some hope that Molly has been here before. The bed has nothing. I go through the cabinets around her bed and I check every drawer. Not even a page from the stocked Bible is out of place. It’s as if I am crazy.

In the bathroom, I check inside the tissue box and the medicine cabinet. Someone’s knocking at the door now and I ignore it as I continue to search the bathroom for clues. The wastepaper basket is filled with tissues. I go through them and one of them isn’t empty.

It’s wrapped around something.

Hurriedly I unwrap it, even as I hear someone enter the room and call out. “Hello? Did you run in here?”

It’s a locket wrapped in tissue. My eyes widen When I open it, I’m and I gasp at the picture is of me and Molly, with the infamous Lara Crane who everyone is so fixated on. This is proof of the other timeline. Someone is going to a great deal of trouble to keep us separated from one another. I have to find Molly, have to find a way to put time back the way it is supposed to be.
