Once we get inside, Amber orders pizza. “It’ll be here soon. I’m gonna get changed.” She headed upstairs. That sounds good. I head upstairs, into my room and close the door. I change into my jammies. Just a tank top and shorts. Once dressed, I head downstairs and into the kitchen. I grab a drink. “Want one?” I knew Amber and Des were coming up behind me. “Sure.” “Yes. Thanks.” Des has always been the politer one. I can always tell them apart when I’m not looking at them.
Sometime later, the doorbell rings. “It’s pizza!” Des yells as she runs for the door. That woman can be a doofus sometimes. She pays and gets the pizza. We all sit on the couch, eat pizza and watch t.v. “Ah that was good stuff.” Des patted her stomach. I chuckle while Amber rolls her eyes. “Oh, don’t be such a butt.” Des laughs. We sit back, relax and watch a movie.
I wake up two hours later. I look around and see that Amber and Des are asleep too. The movie we were watching is over and another one has come one. “Hey. Wake up.” I nudge Des then Amber. They both groan a little. I nudge them again and they wake up. “We fell asleep. We should go to bed.” I started to get up. Des and Amber got up too. I turned off the t.v. and we all headed upstairs and to into bed.
I wake up. It’s so dark I can’t see anything. My head is pounding. I touch my head where it hurts the most. I think I feel blood. Not entirely sure. I shiver and realize that it’s cold. I don’t think I’m outside since it’s too dark. I think I’m in a cellar or something. I put my hand on the floor to stand up, but quickly remove my hand. The floor’s cold and damp. I stand, but start to lose my balance. Finally, I get upright and take a step. I take another step, then another. Finally, I’m walking. I can hear my footsteps echo. I stumble over something, but I’m able to regain my balance and move forward.
It feels like I’ve been walking for a long time. I wonder if maybe I’m walking in circles, in a long corridor or something. Then, up ahead I see a light. I walk towards it and I get close enough to see that there’s a door that’s partly open. That’s where the light is coming from. I get a little closer when someone grabs me and shoves me up against a wall. It knocks some of the air out of me. Then the person hits me. I yelp out in pain. They hit me again. “Shut it!” I heard him yell.
I could feel his breath on my face. He’s just inches away from my face. He punches me in the stomach and I lean forward into him. He lifts me up over his shoulder and he walks away from the door. He sets me down and I can hear footsteps approaching us. “I told you to chain her up.” I know that voice. I’m not sure where, but it sounds very familiar. “Sorry boss.” I heard the other guy say. I struggle and try to get away. The guy that hit me holds me down. “Stop it!” I stop struggling. “That’s a good girl.”
My memory starts to come back to me. I remember leaving work when a man approached me. He had something in his hand and he hit me with it. I think this is the same man. “Well, chain her up. Now!” The other guy said. “Yes boss.” I hear a chain being dragged across the floor. “I know your voice.” I said. The sound of the chain being dragged stopped. It’s silent. I don’t hear anything. Then I feel someone grab my neck. They’re starting to choke me. I scream and sit upright.
I had that dream again, but it was a little different. I look around and see Amber and Des running into my room. “Are you alright?” Des looks scared and worried. “Yes. I just had a bad dream. I’m fine.” They looked at me like they didn’t believe me. “Really. I’m fine now.” They just stand there. “Okay. If you need us, we’re down stairs.” Des was still in the room. After a few minutes, Amber left. I guess they were making breakfast when they heard me scream. “Okay. Thanks.” Des nods and leaves, closing the door behind her.
I get my mobile. It’s ten in the morning. I let out a big sigh. A sigh of relief? I’m starting to think that this dream has something to do with the people who have been trying to get me. They haven’t really tried that hard. I know I’ve had bodyguards, but they really wanted me that badly, it shouldn’t have been that hard. Why go after my grandfather? All of these questions and no answers!! Ah! It’s driving me nuts. I text Jack to let him know I had the dream again. Once I do that, I get up and head for the bathroom.
I take a long shower. I was sweating so bad that I smell. I get out, get dried off and dressed. I check my mobile to see if Jack has responded. He did. “I’m busy right now, but I’ll stop by and check on you. Be safe.” Aw. It sucks that he’s busy…Well, I guess not that badly since Amber and Des are still here. Don’t want them walking in on us. That would be really embarrassing. I head downstairs and into the kitchen. Des is still there. “Here. I made you something while you were in the shower.” She handed me a plate with eggs, bacon, and toast. “Yum. Thank you Des.” That was nice of her.
I finish breakfast, put my dishes in the sink and head into the living room. “What time are you going to leave for work?” I sat down next to Des on the couch. “Um. We were thinking of getting there an hour early. Are you going to be joining us?” I thought about it. “Yea. Can I just ride with you?” Amber gives me a look. “That’s silly. Of course you can. I don’t know why you even bothered asking.” We laugh. “I want to go shopping this afternoon though.” Amber looks down at her watch. It’s only eleven. “I found this new outfit I want to get. Anyone want to join?” Des and I nod and in unison say, “Yes.”
Amber laughs at us. “Okay. Let’s get ready to go.” We get up and get ready. We head out the door and into Amber’s SUV when my mobile buzzes at me. It’s Jack! “Hey. I have some free time.” Really? He has free time now? “Oh. I’m headed out with Amber and Des. Want to meet up? We can still hang out or whatever.” Des looks back at me. “You’re smiling. It must be that hottie, Jack.” I didn’t realize I was smiling. “Yea, it is.” Des smiles at me and then turns back around.
We get to the first shop and I get another text from Jack. “I was hoping we could spend time at home, but I guess I could make do with what I have.” Oh, you naughty man. I remember the great time I had when he was over. He pinned me down on the couch. I bite my lower lip. Just then my mobile buzzes. “Don’t bite your lip!” What? How does he know I’m biting my lip? Oh, he must be nearby already. That explains why it took him so long to respond. I look around. I finally spot him not too far away.
“Hey. I’ll catch up with you ladies later. I have something I want to do.” They both give me a look. “Yea. Sure. I bet Jack’s here.” Des said in a teasing voice. They both laugh. “Oh shush.” They’re still laughing. “Okay. Just text us when you’re ready to meet up.” I nod, then turn to head towards Jack.
“Hey you.” I said as I walked up to Jack. “Hey.” He smiles at me, then leans towards me and kisses me. “I’ve missed you.” I back at him. “I missed you too.” He said as he wrapped his arms around me. “Do you want to talk about your dream?” He’s frowning now. “Nope. I just want to spend time with you.” I smile at him. He smiles back and nods his head. “Okay.” We walk around in silence. “I realize something.” He looks at me. “I don’t know anything about you Jack…Well, not any more than what I have researched and looked up.” He frowns. “What do you mean?”
“Oh, uh. I have been to the archives building. Also, I had previous info from grandfather’s computer.” I look down at the ground, then back at Jack. He’s still frowning. “What did you find?” I let out a sigh. “Can’t you just tell me some things about yourself instead of asking me what I found?” He half smiled. “Where’s the fun in that?” Really? “Please, kind sir. Will you tell me?” I half smiled back. He laughed. “I’ll tell you one thing, BUT I must warn you. I don’t usually tell people this because it freaks them out. I can’t die. Ever.”
I let out a heavy sigh. “I knew that already. I watched when Suzie shot you. I was pretty shocked and freaked out, but I got over it. Tell me something else, please.” He stopped walking and looked at me. “I knew it. I could tell by the way you were acting after we told everyone about Suzie. Why didn’t you say anything?” He’s still staring at me. “Because you were too busy with Gwen and I was still a little shocked and freaked out.” I laughed a little. It sounds silly when I say it out loud.
“You still could’ve come to me.” He stopped smiling. “I didn’t want you mad at me.” I sighed again. “I wouldn’t have been mad.” He grabs my hand. “Alright. I used to be a time agent.” What? “A time agent? Like a person who can travel through time and stuff?” Still holding my hand, he nods. “That’s not from this time, so are you from a different time?” He doesn’t move or say anything. Then, after a moment or two. “That’s all you get for now.” What? “That’s not fair!” He laughs. “Sorry. I agreed to one and that’s all you get.”
That’s seriously not fair at all, but at least he did tell me something. A time agent? Wow. We continue to walk around some more. “What are you doing tonight?” He tightens his grip on my hand a little. “I had planned to go hang out at the club tonight, but if you want to hang out instead, I’m fine with that.” He chuckles. “I’m just asking in case I have another free time.” I stop and look at him with a frown on my face. “What?” He put his fingers on my chin. “Why are you frowning?” I don’t say anything. Still looking at him, I finally say, “You could join me.” He smiles. “Maybe. If I have more free time.” He looks at his mobile. “I need to head back.” He kisses me. After a few moments, he pulls back, looks at me and says, “Bye. I’ll see you later.” And then walks away.
