FRANK WAS freaking out. He could count on his fingers the number of visitors he had had in the past twenty-odd years. Now, in one day, he had two. It didn’t make sense. He ran into the kitchen, which also served as his surveillance area and stared down at a monitor in front of him. He watched nine suited men, all armed, get out of a black van. And suddenly it did make sense. The men must have followed Casey….

“John Francis Walker, you are harboring a fugitive element,” their leader called out, confirming Frank’s suspicions. “Release her to our custody or be extinguished. You have one minute to comply.”

A part of Frank wanted to just hand Casey over and be done with the whole mess. But another part, the part that longed to find answers and change the future, knew Casey was important somehow. Sighing, he pressed a button on a keyboard, and instantly, reinforced steel doors began slamming down over all the windows, sealing them safely inside.

“Thanks,” Casey said, relieved. She knew she had given Frank no reason to help her and had half expected him to turn her in to the men like a sheep to slaughter.

“Don’t thank me yet,” he said. “C’mo—”

At that moment, the last of the doors began to slam down. But before it could go all the way to the floor, a foot shot under it. A moment later, two hands slid under the opening and began to lift the door—the extremely heavy metal door. One of the suited men appeared. Casey gasped. There was no way a human could lift that door. Did that mean those guys were robots, like Athena and the crazy hippies?

As if he had heard her, Frank grabbed what looked like a meat thermometer from the nearest drawer and shoved Casey aside before slamming it into the guy’s chest. There was a loud zap as a blast of electricity shot out of the thermometer, shorting out what Casey now knew with certainty was a robot.

Not sticking around to wait for more robots to make their way inside, Frank grabbed Casey by the arm and pulled her out of the kitchen and into the pantry. Behind them, cabinets exploded as one of the robots fired a pulse rifle at them.

“They’re trying to kill us!” Casey shouted as she watched Frank grab a backpack and start filling it with random gadgets. The whole pantry was stocked with equipment rather than canned goods and cookie mix. Was no room in this house used appropriately? Casey wondered, noticing that Frank was carefully putting an odd cylindrical box with the word Edison written on it into the backpack. Then he threw the bag at her.

“Put this on,” Frank said. Behind him, there was a loud whir, and then the room filled with an odd blue light as a laser began to burn through the door.

On a monitor mounted behind what might have been a spice rack at one time, Frank and Casey saw two robots huddled in front of the door.
