“Follow me, please.” Exiting the bedroom, we went to a conference room. Inside was a table where the head and the foot were not occupied. Seated to the right was Ryan, Nurse Todd, Nurse Tim and another person unknown to me. On the left was Dr. Jill, Another unknown lady, and a very attractive lady. Andrew took a seat. “Well, now that everyone’s here, shall we begin.” We opened with a prayer. The lady kept eyeing me. I felt hot under the collar but knowing that I was probably married, dead, and gone by now cooled me down.
“His test’s show that he is fully capable of the project, Andrew.” Dr. Jill said.
“He’s as strong as an ox.” Nurse Tim said.
“His mind is clean as a whistle.” The other man said.
“I think he’s ready for the job.” Nurse Todd said.
“Okay, Adam. According to my associates, you’re physically and emotionally ready for the task ahead of you.” Andrew said.
“And just what is that task? Just to find the Double D?”
“No, you’re task is much more serious than that. After the Double D escaped, they not only took your Da Vinci Palette, but other priceless artifacts of time that effect the future. Minute by minute the future as we know it is deteriorating, it isn’t even the same as when you came. Wars have been started since you have come.” Andrew said.
“Fortunately for us, the United States has put a hold on all time travel. This means that if the Double D tries to travel through time, we can spot them and catch them.” The other gentleman said. “So they are trapped in this time frame.”
“Your job is to flush them out of hiding.” Ryan said.
“But as I told Ryan, I will need some help, I don’t know how to get about in this time frame, or other things.” I said.
“That’s where she comes in.” Andrew said, pointing to the lady to my left. “Adam let me introduce you to your great-granddaughter, Carrie Chapman.”
“My what?”
“He’s right, great-grandfather.”
“Oh boy! This will take a little getting use to!”
“I know what your going to ask next, and yes, Jill, Ryan, Carrie, and I are all your descendants.” Andrew said.
“WOW! Now what?” I asked.
“Carrie is going to be your wife.”
“My wife?! She’s my great-granddaughter!!” I said.
“Not for real.” Ryan said.
“Seeing as you both have the same last name, we will move you to the city where the Double D was last seen. There you will assume the fact that you and Carrie are married. We will give you an … what did you call it … an apartment. There you will pretend that you and Carrie here are married. She will show you the ways of the time frame. You will also look for the Double D. Ryan here will be around as your contact with us. Once you have found the Double D, let him know.”
“Then what happens?”
“Then we’ll transport you back to your time, wipe both your and Tricia’s memory and make it as though you never traveled to the future.”
“Swell, I knew it was too good to be true.”
“We have packed some clothes for you and sent them on their way.” Nurse Todd said.
