Prolog

In the small village, Parston just 3 miles from Madlebrook. Lived about 300 people of all ages, which included bored teenagers and OAP’s in retirement. Parston was a peaceful village with its own church and graveyard, it also had a couple of pubs and a Shop. A bus only came through the village every Tuesday and Saturday in the morning and evening, but there was a school bus each morning for all of the school kids. But most of the other villagers either had cars or caught the Tuesday and Saturday buses. A mobile library van visited the village once a week normally on a Thursday. Although this was a small village it was expanding as the local farmer had just sold a couple hundred acres of land to a building company. The land was set aside land, which the farmer had sold because he needed the money for some new agricultural equipment, which would help him to increase his monthly turnover.

The farmer sold the land to a building company called Stamford homes. Stamford homes were looking on expanding this business as well by investing in some more properties. Stamford Homes had been going for about five years and was doing extremely well making a 68% profit margin on each house sold. Stamford Homes had already begun clearing the land ready for building on.

Most of the villagers were interested in the new expansion to their village, but others were against the idea. As some of them had formed a petition against the development at the local village meeting held at the church. But the council had decided to still go ahead with the development.

Some the villagers were against the development as they were building on sacred land which some of the villagers claimed that the land held supernatural powers. Others believed this to be an old wives tales made up one night in the Horse and Jockey by a couple of under age drinkers. Although people still believed it to be an old wives tail, they still didn't go near the area, just in case it was true. About 50 years ago on Monday 28th April something terrible happened which cost the lives of 24 children and a couple of teachers. During a normal school day, when Britain was still at war with Germany. A Lancaster bomber was flying back to base cutting cross the main land as it was badly damaged and was attempting to make an emergency landing. The Lancaster bomber was still armed as the bomb releasing mechanism had been damaged while in battle. The Lancaster bomber was experiencing trouble with its main engines. They had already lost the power in two of the engines but they could still fly on the power of two.

Chapter 1

 

Round about 50 years ago to the present date....

On board the Lancaster Bomber, the plane had just lost engines three and four and engine two was smoking. The plane radio had also been damaged, cutting the planes communications off with base.

Pilot: Mayday, Mayday this is B6-40, engines three and four are nonoperational engines two is smoking, over

Pilot: We require urgent assistance, our location is unknown and we are running out of fuel, over

Pilot: Sir I'm getting no response from base and engine two is smoking heavily

Co-pilot: Suggest temporary shut down of engine two

Pilot: Increasing power to engine one, shutting down engine two, engine two is shutting down

The second engines propeller slowed down, jolted and stopped. The smoke was still pouring out of the engine

Pilot: Sir number two is still smoking, hang on sir sorry my mistake all smoke has ceased

Co-Pilot: Preparing to restart number two, reducing power from engine one

 

Pilot: restarting engine two

 

The propeller blades started to judder as the engine restarted, but something was wrong the propeller was not spinning. The plane started to shudder harshly

 

Pilot: Sir, engine two is not working properly and she's shaking up

 

Co-Pilot: I've got a red light on engine two,

 

Pilot: Try shutting down the engine again

 

Co-pilot: Shutting down number two, no response from the controls, unable to shut down engine

 

The plane started to shudder and shake extremely harshly. Then the plane shuddered really bad and then went quiet. The controls shut down, the pilots got very worried wondering what was going on.

 

Pilot: I've lost control, nothings working and we are slowing down, Co-pilot check your controls

 

Co-Pilot: All controls are down and were rapidly losing speed

 

They were both confused and terrified the co-pilot looked out of his window realizing the reason why they had lost control. The second engine had been blow off, just leaving a dented wing. The Pilot looked out of his window to notice that number one was still working.

 

Co-Pilot: We've lost engine, what about engine one

 

Pilot: Number one is working correctly, no problems, prepare for emergency evacuation procedure

 

The rest of the crew slung on their parachutes and jumped out of the plane, the pilots knew that one of them had to stay and control the plane. The only way to decide each of their fate was with a game of Heads or Tails. The pilot removed a penny from the top right hand pocket of his uniform.

 

Pilot: Heads or tails?

 

Co-pilot: Tails

 

The pilot flipped the coin, the coin landed in the palm of his other hand. Stilled covered by the hand that flipped the coin slowly he removed his hand to discover that tails was showing. The pilots face turned from healthy red to a pale ghost white, the pilot looked towards the Co-pilot.

 

Pilot: Looks like I'm flying this one alone

 

The co-pilot was happy and relieved, but felt sorry for the other pilot

 

Pilot: Do me a favor, give this to my wife it’s our wedding ring

 

Co-pilot: Good luck Jack

 

Pilot: Quick get out of here before it too late

 

The co-pilot grabbed his parachute from under his chair and put it on, then as he was making his way to the jump door he had a last look at the plane. Then he stood at the edge and just fell forwards out of the plane.

 

Nearby a couple of farmers were having their lunch brakes

 

John: Hitler's progressing quickly into Poland

 

Daniel: But our troops are strong in number that will give us the advantage of stopping them

 

The two farmers heard a whooshing noise coming from behind them the two farmers turned around to notice a plane flying extremely low and smoking.

 

Daniel: That's flying a bit low isn't

 

John: Looks like it’s in trouble, look one of the engines is smoking, I hope it doesn’t land in my field, I don't bloody army on my land they will ruin the ground

 

Daniel: There it goes, it heading toward Parston, come on lets make our way into the village

 

At the village school the class was in a discussion about airplanes, one of the students called Sarah was sitting by the windows, half asleep, the teacher looked at Sarah and shouted

 

Mrs. Pringle: SARAH, pay attention while you’re in class our you will be in detention

 

Sarah: Honestly Miss I was listening

 

Mrs. Pringles: Answer the question I just asked then

 

Sarah: Could you repeat the question please Miss

 

Some of the other pupils giggled

 

Mrs. Pringles: QUIET, There is a picture of a plane on the board I want you to identify it

 

Sarah wasn't sure she only had little knowledge of planes and only knew a couple of them, so Sarah stared out of the window to the right of her desk and her face froze

 

Mrs. Pringles: Come on Sarah, it’s an easy one

 

Sarah: Lancaster bomber

 

Some of the other pupils laughed

 

Mrs. Pringles: No, Sarah it’s a spitfire

 

Sarah: No, it’s a Lancaster

 

Mrs. Pringles: It’s not a Lancaster bomber, it’s a spitfire do you understand

 

Sarah: No Miss, its a Lancaster

 

Mrs. Pringles: Right that's it

 

Mrs. Pringles stood up and walked towards Sarah’s desk, Mrs. Pringles stood staring at Sarah with her arms crossed

 

Mrs. Pringles: Sarah, look at me when I'm speaking to you

 

Sarah raised her finger and pointed outside through the window

 

Sarah: It’s a Lancaster Miss

 

Mrs. Pringles: For the last time its not a...

 

Mrs. Pringles looked towards the window and saw a Lancaster bomber heading straight towards the school, but it was to close to do anything. Not even enough time to evacuate, Mrs. Pringles just froze like a statue and her face went as white as a sheep.

 

Back in the cockpit of the bomber

 

Pilot: Mayday, Mayday, can anyone bloody hear me, I need urgent assistance, number one has just cut out, I repeat, engine one has just cut out. I have no power at all, over

 

No matter how hard the pilot tried he could still not get help and he still had no control over the plane. The plane started to descend very quickly getting faster and faster but there was not enough time to steer the plane away as the plane was to close to the school and it would hit the school anyway.

 

The plane flew straight into the school then the bombs exploded on impact, due to the pressure of the crash. The school was on fire the plane was partly sticking out side of the school, the plane had completely cut off the school entrance trapping the teacher and the pupils inside.

 

The farmers turned up at the scene. It was terrible, the farmers could hear the cries of children as they were burning to death. The farmers had never heard anything like it, they rushed over to the school, the cries and screams got louder, and they could hear the children shouting for help. But the farmers knew they could do nothing as help was to far away and no water was insight and the fire brigade had been called out to a fire in Madlebrook. One of the farmers ran into the village to get help.

John: Please help, help

 

The only person John could see was Officer Chapman. John ran towards him ranting and raving

 

Officer Chapman: Calm down, what's the problem?

 

John: The schools on fire

 

Officer Chapman: Right, knock on every door and get people to help and get them to bring some bucks full of water, ill do the same.

 

The whole village rushed down to the school with bucks and pans of water bucket after bucket they tried to put out the fire, but it was no good the fire was to strong for them.

The school burned all through the night it could be seen from Madlebrook, as it was that bright.

Most of the villagers stayed up all night praying for the souls of their children.

 

It was a new day, the sun had risen to the birds singing and the turkey crowing. People started to wake from their deep sleeps and get ready for the day ahead. What once was the village’s school was a pile of burnt rubbish and ruins. Only once, the ruins had been cleared would the reveal the true horror. All of the people at the scene had not slept at all that night, many were exhausted as they tried to put out the fire all night. About eight o’clock in the morning the fire brigade turned up at the scene all still dressed in their fire fighting gear. The fire chief instructed the fire fighters to get to work straight away with the hope of finding the children of the village still alive.

 

Two hours had passed and still no sign of them. The fire fighters knew what they were expecting, and then one of the fire fighters found something.

 

Fire fighter 1: Sir, quick over here

 

The chief dropped what he was doing and rushed over to the fire fighter and so did a couple of the others, running as fast as he could.

 

Fire chief: What have you?

 

Fire fighter: It looks like a corpse

 

The fire chief looked at the corpse that was hanging out of the planes cockpit window. The corpse was badly burnt and was not recognizable. But the chief assumed this was the pilot of the plane.

 

A couple of minutes later two ambulances arrived at the scene, they rushed straight over to the commotion. The first medic walked over to the fire chief.

Medic 1: What have we got

 

Fire chief: it looks like the pilot of the plane and he looks dead, he badly burnt and unrecognizable

 

Medic 1: Right ill just check for signs of life

 

Fire chief: Is he alive?

 

Medic 1: No, I have no signs of vital activity

 

Fire chief: Get this corpse out of here and place it on the ground over there, someone contact the RAF and find out what's going, maybe they can tell us.

 

After many more hours they found what looked like the remains of 20 children and one adult all the same as the pilot. As time passed and the dead were buried people forgot about the disaster which took place, the families of the dead rebuilt their lives but still lived with the memory of the children in their hearts.

Chapter 2

 

Over the next space of fifty years the village expanded, allowing for the development of new houses. The land on which the school once stood was bought by Stamford homes after being in the hands of a local farmer for 49 years.

 

It was a Tuesday morning in mid November and it was getting close to Christmas. On this morning as any other morning stood the group of students waiting for the 7:30 bus to the local sixth form, where they were studying a course. Two of the students at the bus stop were called Jenny and Margaret, another girl called Julia normally accompanied them.

 

Jenny was a dark skinned girl with fairly long hair and always wore make up even for school, she had just turned 17 and felt a year older or maybe because she was taller than the rest of her friends. Jenny always dressed to impress as she's always did, this was because she had her eye on a lad called Howler, which she had liked for ages.

 

Margaret had the same figure as Jenny but was light skinned and she had fair hair about the same length as Jenny’s. Margaret was also 17 and was already looking forward to her 18th, as her dad, Alan had promised her a special birthday party for her 18th, also like Jenny, Margaret had someone she had her eye on a boy called Ben who goes to the local sixth form. But she knew that he wasn't interested but Margaret still kept trying.

 

The two girls were discussing their evenings

 

Jenny: Yeah, I watched Eastenders last night, Pat had decided to invest in her own business

 

Margaret: Oh what about Steve getting off with that woman

 

Jenny: What the one behind the bar in E20

 

Margaret: Yeah, now he thinks he’s caught something

 

Jenny: Ah, did you see Buffy

 

Jenny and Margaret pull out a fag and lamp it up they both inhale deeply and then exhale

 

Margaret: You were saying?

 

Jenny: Did you see Buffy last night

 

Margaret: No, I missed it, was it good?

 

Jenny: It was okay, Buffy nearly died

 

Julia: Crash us a fag Jenny

 

Jenny: I’ve only got a couple left, enough to last me today

 

Julia: Go on, you had two off me yesterday

 

Jenny: Okay, here you go

 

Jenny pulls a fag out of her packet and passes it to Julia. Julia pulls out a lighter and lamps it up. Julia raises the cigarette to the lips of her mouth and begins to inhale after taking her first drag on a cigarette after about eight hours she feels the serge of nicotine racing throughout the veins of her body. She pulls the cigarette from the lips of her mouth and exhales in a deep smoke filled breath. Julia continues to smoke her cigarette keeping an eye out for her mother making sure that she didn’t see her with a cigarette on the go.

 

Julia was a fairly chubby girl with died blonde hair and always hated going to school as it meant she was missing out on morning television. She spent most of her Friday and Saturday nights spent in the local pub chatting up Vinny and Wayne. However hard she tried they never gave her a look in. She was a fairly complex person due to her father who left when she was very young and her mum’s boyfriend wanting to marry her mum. Julia dealed with these problems the same way she always does which was normally four pints and slagging off her x boyfriend. Her boyfriend Mark who had been going out with her for eight months, although Mark was a year older and attending the local secondary school, she was that didn’t bother him and had recently dumped Julia. He had dumped her as he had found out that she had been cheating on him with and this was enough to piss off any lad. They occasionally saw each other threw the window of a passing car. Instead Mark had found someone else who he knew he could trust. Her name was Sarah, Sarah was Margaret’s sister and Mark only realized that Margaret was one of Julia’s best mates a while after he had been going out with Sarah. To Mark Sarah was everything to him, he thought she was the long lost 17th century girl who he had fallen in love with in his dreams when he was a little boy. Mark got on well with her parents and her sisters. Sarah had another sister called Alice. Alice was younger but always wanted to act like her big sister Margaret and really looked up to her as an inspirational woman, even if they didn’t always see eye to eye.

 

Mark and Sarah first meet at the local sixth form where they were both doing an IT course. He had only really thought about Sarah in that way when Ann had told him how much Sarah really liked him. Finding that out, Mark was really excited as a woman had never felt about him this way before.

 

Back at Sarah’s house . . ..

 

Mark pulls up in his blue Vauxhall Nova which he had just recently finished repairing. Mark got the usual welcome from the dogs barking at the window. He made his way towards the front door and as he did it was opened by Sarah

 

Sarah: You’re a bit late aren’t you

Mark: Sorry I had to sort out the washing before I could come out

 

Sarah: Do I get a kiss then

 

Mark walked into the hallway and gave Sarah the kiss she had long been waiting for then he proceeded into the front room. As he was opening the door he could see a crowd of Dalmatian faces which looked at him in happiness there tails started to wag. As the door opened fully the five dogs started to jump up a Mark all demanding fuss. Mark loved the five dogs he always gave them a good welcome every time he went round.

 

As the door was fully open he saw Lynda sitting on the sofa watching the television. Lynda was Sarah’s mum her dad was at work

 

Lynda: Hello Mark are you alright

 

Mark: Yeah not so bad thanks, and you

 

Lynda: Okay just the usual Dash chewed one of the cushions again. Make Mark a drink Sarah

 

Mark walked over to dash and knelt down

 

Mark: What are we going to do with you little dash

 

Dash looked up at Mark wagging his tail in excitement and then he started to lick his face

 

Sarah: I’m not your slave Mark (She said jokingly)

 

Sarah: What do you want

 

Mark: Tea please

 

Sarah walks off into the kitchen, Spice and Lucas follow thinking its teatime.

 

Lynda: How’s your mum and dad, Mark

 

Mark: Not so bad they are Shopping at the moment

 

Sarah: How did your appointment at the doctors go, what did he say about your black outs

 

Mark: He said I could be blacking out due to working to hard and he said I should take it easy a bit more. That’s not easy when all you hear is Mark, Mark, come and get the pots washed

 

Mark’s vision starts to go blurry, Lynda's voice starts to sound really deep and slow then it all goes black. While Mark is blacked out he see’s what he thinks is a dream. He catches a glimpse of some white blobs in the shape of figures of animals.

 

Lynda: MARK, MARK can you hear me

 

Mark quietly moans, shaking his head side to side. His eyes slowly open to see a blurred vision of Sarah’s front room with Sarah’s mother standing over him

 

Mark: Where am I, is that you mum?

 

Lynda: MARK its Lynda calm down you have just had a black out, Sarah get Mark a glass of water

 

Sarah walks off into the kitchen and pours Mark a glass of water. Mark starts to come around his vision becomes clearer.

 

Mark: What happened?

 

Lynda: I think you had a black out

 

Sarah walks back in the room with a glass of water

 

Sarah: I don’t think you should drive back tonight

 

Lynda: Sarah’s right Mark, you can stay here if you want

 

Sarah don’t worry I will let your mum know

 

The hours of the day pass, Mark and Sarah amuse themselves by watching daytime television.

 

Lynda pops to the local post office to get some stamps and a couple of toilet rolls. Lynda walks in the door after a five-minute drive to the post office and she is greeted by the warm smile of Alf the owner of the post office.

 

Alf: Hello, how’s things

 

Lynda: Not so bad, Sarah’s boyfriend Mark had another black out but he’s okay now

 

Alf: has he been to the doctor about it?

 

Lynda: Yeah, the doctor says it probably cause he is doing too much work

 

Alf’s eyebrows rise slightly

 

Lynda walks over the post office counter and pulls out the four letters from her left pocket and places the letters on the counter and then pulls her purse out of her right pocket

 

Lynda: Can I have four first class stamps please Alf

 

Alf: Here you are, that will be one pound and four pence please

 

Lynda pulls a five pound note out of her purse under it she sees a collection of coins ranging from 1p’s to pound coins

 

Lynda: Hangon Alf I might have the exact change

 

Lynda shove the five pound note back into her pocket and with her fingers carefully picked out the one pound and four pence. Among-st the collection of coins nestled a selection of old sweet wrappers and receipts. She passes the money to Alf, Alf gives a slight smile while he sorts the money into the till. Then she is passed the stamps by Alf that she sticks on the envelopes.

 

Lynda: Can you put these in the post for us please Alf

 

Alf: Yeah sure

 

With that Lynda looks at Alf and politely smiles at him and then she leaves.

 

Back at Sarah’s house. .

 

Sarah: Please Mark give me the controls

 

Mark: Come on Sarah, do we have to sit and watch sunset beach its so crap

 

Sarah: It’s not, your brother watch’s it

 

Mark: He only watch’s it because of all the big breasted actors on it and you only watch it because of all the blokes on it and all of the crappy dilemmas.

 

Sarah: What about x-files, you only watch that because it’s got Gillian Anderson in it

 

Mark: True, but that’s beside the point at least it has a good story line to it, I just hope they bring the dam program off the air.

 

Sarah: Please, Please

 

Mark: Okay, here you are watch Sunset Beach then

 

Sarah: Thank you

 

Sarah gives Mark a Good snog and then continues to watch Sunset Beach. Mark lifts himself up from the armchair and stands on his feet stretching his arms outwards then they drop to his sides.

 

Sarah: Where you going?

 

Mark: I’m going to get a cup of tea, do you want one

 

Sarah: Please

 

Mark walks through into the kitchen to see Barney (a black and white cat) walking along the work surface towards the cooker. Mark always seems to make allot of fuss of this cat and Barney always likes to be fussed. Mark walks over to the cooker pulling the door close behind him.

 

Mark: Hello Barney

 

Mark starts to stroke the cat, he replies by purring at Mark. Mark then grabs a mug off the mug tree to the right of the cooker and then moves the work surface to the left. Barney follows him thinking its teatime even Mark knows this.

 

Mark: Its not for you, teatime isn’t for another hour or so

 

Barney sits down and watch’s Mark. Mark pulls the sugar tin off the shelf above him and removes the lid then adds two spoons of sugar to the mug. Mark then returns the sugar tin and just adds the rest of the ingredients into the mug.

 

Mark then realizes that Sarah wanted one as well so he gets another mug off the mug tree and makes Sarah a cup of tea.

 

Its now about twenty past four and the school bus pulls up outside to drop Margaret and Alice off from school. The dogs see Margaret and Alice across the road from the living room and they begin their usual welcome of barking and jumping up at the window. Mark grabs the two mugs of tea and walks back through to the living room. He passes Sarah’s mug of tea to her. Next thing Mark notices is Margaret and Alice walking through the living room door both bickering at each other about A1. They both look cold and all fired up

 

Alice walks over to the other sofa in the living room and sits down chucking her school bag on the floor. Margaret parades through into the kitchen looking through the cupboards for something to eat, only finding a packet of half-full digestives. Margaret grabs the packet and walks back into the front room slamming the door after her. She walks over the sofa where Alice is sitting and sits down saying “ Move up you fat cow “

 

Alice: Shut up you bitch

 

Margaret: Shut up or ill hit you

 

Sarah: Will you two give it a rest

 

Alice: No not until this fat bitch shuts up

 

Sarah: Alice go in the other room

 

Alice hesitates

 

Sarah: NOW Alice

 

Alice walks off in a mood slamming the door behind her. Mark tries to stop himself from laughing. Because seeing Margaret and Alice fighting reminded him of himself and his brother at that age but now thinking about it only makes him laugh.

 

Margaret: What you laughing at, you need not start

 

Margaret directs to Mark looking at him with blood red eyes. Mark doesn’t want to cause any problems so he makes up an answer

 

Mark: Not at you, I was just thinking about when some mates and me bombarded snowballs at the buses

 

Margaret then turns her head to her right facing the television. Mark takes a sip of of tea then he replaces the mug back on the shelving unit beside him.

 

A white metro pulls up in the driveway and the dogs heads stir in anticipation. Wondering whom this car belonged to. Lynda steps out of the car and the dog start wagging their tails in excitement. Lynda walks across the swampy front lawn to get to the front door. Lynda opens the front door and Oscar rushes past her.

 

Lynda: Better get Alan to fix this door its like trying to open a door that’s about 20 years old.

 

But even Lynda knew that there was more chance of her winning the lottery than Alan fixing the door. Lynda then barged her way into the front room past the dogs.

 

Sarah: Hello mummy

 

Mark: Alright Lynda

 

Lynda: Hello everybody

 

Margaret: Hello, did you get us a chocolate bar

 

Lynda: No I didn’t Margaret, you will have to wait until tomorrow when I go Shopping

 

Lynda removed her bag from her arm and placed it at the side of the sofa. Then she went off into the hallway to hang her coat up.

 

Mark: My car comes out of the garage on Thursday

 

Sarah: What’s wrong with it this time?

 

Mark: The exhaust dropped off on the way to Boston.

 

Sarah: There’s always something going wrong with your car

 

Mark: No there isn’t

 

Sarah: So how come every time I get in it brakes down

 

Mark: Maybe my car doesn’t like you (Mark said jokingly)

 

Sarah: How much is that going to cost?

 

Mark: About eighty quid

 

Sarah: If I get a car I’m getting Stick to check it over first, cos. it seems like that bloke sold you a heap of shit.

 

Mark: That cars okay it only needed some minor work doing on it

 

Lynda enters the room

 

Sarah: Mum do you want a cup of tea

 

Lynda sits next to Margaret

 

Lynda: Yes please Sarah

 

Sarah: Mark do you want one

 

Mark: Please, remember to put two sugars in it this time

 

Sarah walks off into the kitchen followed by Dash and Logon

 

Mark: Lynda, is it all right if I use the phone quickly to...

 

Lynda: Yeah sure you can

 

Mark: Phone my uncle up the road at the building site

 

Mark gets up from the sofa and walks through to the other front room. As he enters the room he sees Alice hypnotized on the computer. Her head turns toward Mark

 

Alice: Hello Markino

 

Sarah’s sisters always called Mark by his nicknames

 

Mark: What you playing on?

 

Alice: Quake

 

Mark walks over to the computer desk and sits down on the chair next to Alice

 

Mark: Have you completed Titanic yet?

 

Alice: Yeah, but I keep getting shot at the end

 

Mark picks the headset of the phone up and dials the numbers thinking out loud “ 654389 “. The phone starts to ring at the other end. Joann the assistant site manager answers the phone

 

Joann: Good after noon, Jelson builders

 

Mark: Hello Joann, is my Uncle there

 

Joann: Yeah hangon a minute Mark

 

The phone line goes quite for a couple of seconds

 

Mick: Hello Mark what’s up?

 

Mark: Mum says can you pop round sometime tomorrow its regarding granddads caravan

 

Mick: It’ll be about three

 

Mark: Yeah no problem Mum will be in then

 

Mick: Where are you at the moment?

 

Mark: I’m down Sarah’s

 

Mick: Have you had any power cuts up that end?

 

Mark: No cant say that we have, why?

 

Mick: I don’t know, the whole things fucked up down here, the power keeps going on and off if it

happens again I’m going home.

 

Mark: Maybe it’s a bad connection to the mains

 

Mick: It ain’t, cos ive already had an electrician look at it this morning, he couldn’t find anything wrong

 

Mark: Never mind, just tell everyone it’s a disco

 

A rough faced man runs into Micks office

 

Builder: The JCB’s going nutty

 

Mick: Sorry Mark ive got to go the JCB’s having a fit

 

Mark: Okay Ill see you later

 

Mark hangs up the phone and walks back into the front room with a look of mystery on his face

 

Lynda: What’s wrong Mark?

 

Mark: The JCB’s having a nutter fit and the power keeps failing (He says laughing)

 

Sarah: Mark, do you want anything for tea?

 

Mark: Yes please can I have fish fingers and chips?

 

Sarah: Okay it will be about 30 minutes

 

Mark and Lynda then concentrate on the television watching an episode of Blue Healers. Sarah put some fish fingers and chips in the oven for Mark and herself. Margaret gets up out of her seat and walks over to the lounge door and she opens the door and walks through into the hallway. Mark picks up the paper off the fireplace and flicks to the back looking for the crossword. Then once he had found the crossword he then pursued looking for a pen

 

Mark: Lynda, I don’t surpose you have a pen I can borrow?

 

Lynda: Yeah hangon Mark, ill have a look in my bag

 

Lynda lifts up her handbag sitting it on her lap she opens the bag and see the glimpse of a pen amongst the sweet wrappers and receipts. She pulls out the blue byro and passes it to Mark.

 

Mark: Cheers!

 

While everything is going okay at Sarah’s house things are far from okay at the building site

Chapter 3

 

Builder 1: Mick, the JCB has stopped, it’s as if it’s gone dead

 

Mick: What?

 

Builder 1: Come out and have a look

 

Mick and the builder rush out side to see the JCB just quietly sitting on one of the housing plots. Mick slowly walks right up to the JCB scared not knowing if inside the cab was a mad man waiting, he grabbed one of the lose pieces of scaffolding off the floor and continues towards the JCB. The builder and the rest of the builders all gather in a crowd next to the offices making sure they are well away from the JCB. Mick slowly opens the door of the cab and then quietly creeps his head round. But there is no site of anyone in the cab then he notices that not only that there was no driver that the keys were not in the ignition either. Mick face turned from rosey red to a pale ghost white, his hands fell down by the side of his body letting go of the scaffolding at the same time. One of the builders notices something is wrong so he tries to call Mick.

 

Builder 1: MICK, what’s wrong?

 

But the builder does not get a response so he keeps trying

 

Builder 1: MICK, what the fuck is wrong

 

But still no response, Mick was standing there not like a man but a concrete statue with a look of fear and worry had struck its face. The rest of the builders had to do something, they were all hesitating to go over there and help Mick. They all look at each other wondering who is going to be brave enough and face the unknown to rescue him. Two of the builders step forward slowly, very carefully they walk over to the JCB taking each step with anticipation. One of the builders gets with in reach of Mick the other stays close behind.

 

Builder 2: Mick (whispers the builder)

 

Builder 1: Mick, come on mate

 

But they both still get no response, Mick looked as if his brain had left his body and they noticed how white his skin was. This made even them two feel un easy between them they decided the best option was to help him back to the offices the closest builder slowly stretched forward his arm moving it towards that of Mick arm. As he gently placed his fingers around it he noticed how stiff his arm was. Then Joann came rushing out and looked at the crowd of workers wondering what was going on.

 

Joann: What’s going on out here and where’s Mick?

 

A builder approached Joann

 

Builder 3: He’s over there by the JCB, rumor is that he just froze

 

The second builder walks to the other side of Mick and slowly grabs hold of his arm. They both put his arms across the back of their shoulders. They slowly turn to face the offices and walk back towards the portakabin, which is where Micks office was. The rest of the workers made way as they walked Mick into his office, they slung him down in his chair. Joann follows them in

 

Joann: What’s happened?

 

Builder 1: I don’t know he was checking out the JCB and he just froze like a statue

 

Joann: What do you mean froze like a statue

 

Builder 1: He looked exactly like a statue and even when we tried calling him he didn’t answer

 

Joann: Right call an ambulance ASAP and once you have done that all of you can go home

 

The builder’s were worried about Mick as he had been a good mate to them but they were still happy about finishing early. One after one the workers left the site like a convoy of dumper trucks getting smaller and smaller as they disappeared into the distance.

 

Joann: Mick, Mick wake up

 

She checked his pulse again and it was okay it seamed as if he was sleeping. Joann walked off into her office to fetch Mick a glass of water. Joann was especially worried about Mick because they were having an affair behind his wife’s back. Although his wife had her suspicions, but she wasn’t sure so she didn’t say anything. Joann heard a strange noise coming from Micks office, she dropped the cup of water she rushed through to his office door trying to get through but the door was shut tight even the handle wouldn’t move. Joann suddenly moved her hand off the handle to realize it was burnt. The door handle was red hot by this time she started to panic and shout Micks name at the top of her voice.

 

Joann: MICK , MICK can you hear me please respond

 

The room went quiet, she wanted to know what was going on behind the door of his office. She run he fingers across the top of the door handle, she discovered it was ice cold. Joann thought it was strange how it could be red-hot one minute and ice cold the next minute. She then tightly grasped the door handle with her left hand and gives the door a good push as she opens the door a sudden rush of cold air rushes in through the doorway. Her eyes just drop when she sees what the other side of the door. She expected to see Micks desk in front of her, but all she could was Vauxhall Corsa and the gates at the top of the site. Its as if the whole office had disappeared right in front of her or as if someone had just removed that whole end of the portakabin. She was gob smacked to what and who could have done this. She rushes back into her office and grabs her mobile phone off her desk and dials 999.

 

Joann: Come on, come on

 

Telephonist: Hello which service would you like?

 

Joann tried to speak as clearly as she could, which was hard, as it seemed like someone had cut out her tongue.

 

Joann: Hello please I need urgent help, my boss has disappeared into thin air

 

Telephonist: Could you tell me exactly what the problem is please

 

Joann knew what she was saying was crazy but she need some help so she decided to say something that would get their attention.

 

Joann: Sorry, I mean that my boss is being held at gunpoint, please hurry

 

Telephonist: Can I have your name and address please

 

Joann: Yes its Joann Walker and I’m at the Stamford homes site on East Meadows road in Parston

 

Telephonist: Someone will be with you in a couple of minutes

 

Joann: Please hurry

 

Joann then ends the call but not only the emergency services were listening. About two miles up the road was a medium sized white van. Behind the van was a black Merc. Inside the Merc were four men all dressed smartly and all wearing long black over coats. The white van had only two people inside and a lot of radar equipment the, one of the two men had been listening to the telephone call from Joann.

 

John: Ive just heard a really weird phone call

 

Darren: Have you checked the eccophonometre?

 

John: Fucking hell

 

Darren: What?

 

John: I’ve never seen a reading like this before its over 600dpms

 

Darren: That’s a least 3 time’s the standard reading, are you having a laugh

 

John: No, the infra reds got some weird readings as well

 

Darren: Can you locate the source of the reading

 

John: The same place as where the phone call was made

 

Darren: Right ill contact the boss

 

Darren picks up his phone

 

Darren: Sir we have something that you should check out

 

Dobson: Okay were on to it, ill see to it that back gets there before you go in

 

Darren: Okay sir ill wait here until backup gets here

 

Dobson: Contact the emergency services and cancel the police and the ambulance

 

Darren: Okay sir, but what happens if she needs an ambulance

 

Dobson: I’ ll. send the decoys in, make sure you change into the correct clothing

 

Darren: Okay sir

 

Darren ends the call and puts down his phone

 

Darren: John get the van and the Merc ready

 

John: What’s the word?

 

Darren: Backup is on the way and it could be the worst situation we have seen yet

 

Darren dials the emergency services computer system using his computer and encoded modem. Due to the work that Darren does he needs to have legal and illegal computer skills. Darren manages to hack into the computer system and cancels the police and ambulance call. Then he contacts the ambulance that’s already on route.

 

Darren: Whisky, alpha one two four come in please

 

Driver: This is whisky, alpha one-two four go ahead

 

Darren: Return back to base, call has been cancelled

 

Driver: Okay control, returning to base

 

Darren then contacts the police car that’s already on route and repeats the procedure. While this has been going on John has been preparing the van. John runs to the side of the van where the open sliding door is.

 

John: Darren, Darren

 

Darren: What?

 

John: Backups here

 

Darren: Right send the ambulance in first then the decoy police car in two minutes later

 

John: Okay.

 

Back at the building site

 

Joann at this time is getting extremely worked up she doesn’t know what to do. Joann lights cigarette after cigarette the only way to keep her mind off what is going on. Joann hears a van come up the road but then she notices the flashing blue lights at the top. The ambulance pulls into the yard and drives right up towards Joann. Both doors of the ambulance open and two men jump out the ambulance and rush over towards Joann.

 

Paramedic 1: What’s the problem?

 

Joann: It’s my boss he just, no you wouldn’t believe me

 

Paramedic 1: Please Mrs. Walker, tell us what the problem is

 

Joann: Its Mick my boss earlier he was checking out the JCB and he just froze like a statue. Then we

managed to get him into his office.

 

Paramedic 2: We?

 

Joann: Myself and some of the builders but I sent them home early once you lot had been contacted, anyway once we had got him into his office I left him for just a minute, he didn’t seem like he was in any serious trouble. Then I heard the weirdest noise and when I came back his whole office and everything in it had disappeared.

 

Paramedic 2: Where about was his office Mrs. Walker?

 

Joann: It was where your van is parked

 

Paramedic 2: I better contact control and let them know what the situation is stay here and keep an eye on Mrs Walker

 

The second paramedic runs over to the ambulance and uses the radio and contacts base.

 

Paramedic 2: This is DE42 can you put me through to Doctor Dobson please

 

Telephonist: Hangon

 

The phone line goes quiet for a couple of seconds

 

Dobson: What’s the situation down there

 

DE42: We have a serious problem on our hands, a Mr Mick Morrisson and his office disappeared. I suspect it could be a case of time warptation

 

Dobson: In English what is time warptation?

 

DE42: It means when there has been a disturbance in the time line and Mr Morrison has been

transported to a different time and place

 

Dobson: You what

 

DE42: Yes I know sir how it sounds but this sort of thing has been reported twice in the last six years

 

Dobson: So what do we do then?

 

DE42: I need the M.O.P team out here ASAP, but for now ILL keep the situation under control

 

Dobson: Okay they will be with you in two hours time.

 

DE42: ILL contact Darren and get specials to seal this whole place off

 

Dobson: Okay I will be there in two hours

 

The second paramedic jumps back out of the ambulance and uses his mobile phone to contact Darren.

 

DE42: Darren, send the team in I need a seal up doing

 

Darren: Okay, there on their way

Chapter 4

 

Around 50 years ago on Sunday 20th April...

 

One Sundays the primary school was closed leaving the school and the area around it as peaceful as a graveyard. It was about 5:30 in the evening the local residents were still attending the local church service. The church was packed due to the circumstances around the time.

 

Since the war started the church almost doubled it congregation. Allot of people turned up to pray for the lost souls of their community who had been lost in battle.

 

Back at the school the wind really starts to pick up blowing at about 100mph. The sky fills up with dark light and the clouds pack tightly into together. Then the clouds start to roar with big bursts of thunder and lighting strikes the ground forming a structure. The structure starts to form more visible. Then the structure is complete.

 

Everything goes quiet and the dark light runs into the shadows of the trees. The clouds fade away and the wind blows away.

 

Mick wakes up in a dark office with no light or heat, he figures he must of fell asleep at his desk will going through wages. Mick gets up out of his chair and heads towards the doorway not noticing that the wildness lies the other side. Mick things something is wrong because even the orange glowing street lights provide some form of light to which he could guide his way. He walks through the doorway using his hands to guide him, he puts his foot forward expecting to feel the carpet under his feet but his foot keeps on going he falls to the ground flat on his face. Mick’s lays on the long blades of grass for a second then after catching his breath he props himself up and gets back up onto his feet. He swivels his head from left to right noticing that nothing was there not even the site lights. Mick begins to think what was going on, he wonders if it’s a bad dream or if he’s dead. He starts to get extremely worried and tries to get help.

 

Mick: Hello, Hello is anybody there, please I need help

 

But no response except the sound of the trees swaying in the wind he keeps trying but still he does not get a response. He notices to his right a dim light in the background he decides his only option is to head towards the light hoping that maybe someone can help him shouting along the way trying to get someone’s attention.

 

 

Meanwhile 50 years ahead things are getting strange

 

 

Four black Landrovers pull into the yard the doors open on them and out steps 16 Special Forces men. The men are dressed in black each with night vision goggles and enough ammo to start a war. The sixteen men walk over to the second paramedic he begins to brief them

 

DE42: Listen I need this place sealing down, not even a rat can leave this area

 

SFM: What’s the situation

 

DE42: We are not 100% sure but it’s the worst case of time warptation ever documented. A person, a

Mr Morrison and his office have been transported through time, the location and place is unsure but we are working on it

 

A scientist runs upto DE42

 

Scientist: Sir, I,ve got some very bad news

 

DE42: What?

 

Scientist: Were getting some very strange reading, the first is where the office was and the second where the JCB is.

 

DE42: That don’t sound that bad

 

Scientist: That’s not all sir, the readings are getting stronger by the minute

 

DE42: What do you suggest we do?

 

Scientist: If the areas are not contained with in two hours the space time continuum will

 

DE42: What, the space time continuum will

 

Scientist: Disintegrate everything in this village and continue going and this will effect the time line and everything will burst up in flames

 

DE42: Can we stop it, before it gets too big

 

Scientist: We can stop it until we work out what has happened here but we can contain it

 

DE42: How can we contain it

 

Scientist: By setting up a time fluctuation field around the two areas

 

DE42: A what

 

Scientist: Back in the eighties the government invented a machine that could freeze time and space it controlled by six aluminum posts which surround the area. Once the time fluctuation field is activated a dome is created which surrounds the area containing the problem with in

 

DE42: How long will it take you to set up the time flux, whatever device

 

Scientist: About 30minutes

 

DE42: Get onto it now

 

Scientist: Okay sir

 

The scientist runs off towards the JCB and DE42 continues on briefing SFM

 

DE42: I want this place sealing off in five minutes, have your men form formation around the base

 

The SFM separate and walk off to the edges of the site and begin to seal up. Two of the black vans move towards the two areas. The black Landrovers would be mistaken for any other Landrover as they had no official government marking and the drivers were special agents working for a no official agency. But like any government agent they had a cover up theirs was local farmers. The scientists separated into two groups the first group approached the Landrover by the JCB. One of the scientists walked towards the boot and opened it up. Inside the boot was only a number mark three fairly large boxes each but all made out of steel and secured by digital keypad locks. To open each one it would take two people swiping a security card across the swipper at the same time. This method was used to prevent just anyone opening the cases, but once the cards had been swipped an eight digit passcode had to be entered in less than a minute otherwise the cases would lock up for good.

 

Five other scientists walked to the boot and they each help to carry the three cases in front of the Landrover. The other team was doing the same preparing on the Time Fluctuation device

Two of the cases contained the four laser like towers which where slotted together. In the third case was the brain of the machine it was a highly powered laptop, which all four towers connected to. Although this machine was easy to use it was still very dangerous, even if the calculations were out slightly it could have deasterous effects.

 

But the scientists knew what they were doing as head of the operation was the scientist who invented the machine. But before the machines could be set up the cases had to be opened. The head scientist and his assistant carried the security cards but only the head scientist knew the eight-digit passcode. The head scientist and his assistant walked over to each case opening them one by one each releasing a whooshing of compressed air. Once they had done the three cases by the JCB they walked over to the second team and did the same. Once the cases had been opened the cards were returned to their secure casing which was under lock and key. Once the security cards had been returned safely the two teams began to construct the devices. Setting up them took around half an hour but even they knew that time was running short.

 

Every one but the scientists had been evacuated from the affected areas for there own safekeeping. DE42 carefully watched the team of scientists being on guard ready for their help but in the mean time he decided to approach Joann to find out what exactly had happened.

 

Joann wasn’t sure what to believe as the world that she thought she knew was not the one that actually existed. She was having problems coming to terms with what had happened only an hour ago. The paramedic tried to comfort Joann buy talking to her and calming her down. DE42 called the paramedic over. The paramedic was a young female agent which had just come out of training but she was highly attractive and won the hearts of all the male agents and some of the females as well. She had a nick name which was Foxy but her real name was Mary Consella

 

DE42: What’s Joanns condition?

 

Mary: She’s a little bit shuck up but apart from that okay

 

DE42: Has she said anything about what happened yet

 

Mary: Only briefly, about Mick disappearing and then it all went quiet

 

DE42: What’s her history?

 

Mary: She was born in 1978 in Causeborough county hospital and raised as any normal child.

It’s also rumored that she was having an affair with Mick

 

DE42: Right what I need you to do is get as much information as you can once you have put her in a holding cell at base.

 

Mary: Yes sir, anything else

 

DE42: Ah, that reminds me get a list of all the workers here make up some story that Joann discovered

an unexploded bomb which had been here for fifthty years or so. Give them all a week's holiday. Then evacuate all the residents with in a mile radius sealing off all roads and arrange regular patrols.

 

Mary: What about the visibility of the site it could be seen for miles?

 

DE42: Use some flexy camo sheeting over the whole place

 

Mary: Okay sir, I’ll get onto it right away

 

Then Mary runs back over to Joann and crouches beside her continuing to comfort her. DE42 walks back over to the JCB. He pulls a packet of cigarettes out of his pocket flips open the top and draws one out. He then return’s the slightly tattered fag packet back to his pocket. He places the cigarette in his mouth perched only in place by his lips, he digs deeper into his other pocket amongst the keys of his house and car he finds a petrol lighter, he grabs hold of it and pulls the light out of his pocket. He grasps the light tightly in his right hand and with his left flips opens the lid, he cups his hands together and move the lighter to the tip of the cigarette using his right thumb he strikes the flint it takes he a couple of goes to get the light going. He crests the end of the fag with the flame of the lighter until it is lit. He then places the lighter back in his pocket and then inhales deeply, DE42 only ever smoked one brand of cigarettes and never got low either, he smoked Silk cut, as they were not as strong as other brands of cigarettes. He always dressed in black wearing the same pair of budget sunglasses he had had for five years. Maybe he thought they brought him luck as people say with a lucky coin or a four-leaf clover. He did carry a gun it was a standard issue side arm 6 chamber pistol every agent had them but they were always keep hidden under their left arm in a holster and spare rounds of ammo were kept on the back of their belt.

 

DE42 was really high up in the organization and had a reputation for getting the job done. He takes another drag on his cigarette while grasped between his middle and forefinger on his right hand. Ash was mounting up at the end of the cigarette he struck his thumb across the filter end of the cigarette to knock the ash off. He takes a look round noticing the scientist hard at work putting together the machine they had nearly finished putting the laser towers together. Meanwhile Joann was looking a bit confused to what was going on to her this situation looked like something out of the X-files, she slapped her self around the face, Joann also smoked she also smoked silk cut she was already smoking one but only taking a drag every minute or so a cluster of ash which was about two centimeters long had built up one the end of the cigarette. Although the whole thing confused Joann she kept her eyes on the team of scientists near by working against the clock to put the machine together. Joann could see the actual ball of energy growing at a fast rate and she had also over heard a couple of the scientists talking and she knew what would happen if they didn’t get it working in time. She aimlessly flicked the ash off the end of her cigarette on to the floor by her feet. The Mary was also interested in what was going on, as she had never experienced something like this in training college.

 

She was concentrating on the large ball of energy growing only about fithteen feet away. So started to happen to the ball of energy it started to shrink rapidly getting as small as a football. For a couple of minutes it remained this size all of the scientists were amazed as not even they had seen something like this before. The ball of energy started to spit out ball of energy, which disappeared within five centements of the core. It resembled the sun but sound like a ten-force gale and thunder storm mixed together, the noise was deathening that everyone had to cover their ears. The ball of energy then went quiet for about thirty seconds everyone just stood in amazement, as it was fairly hypnotic to watch. The ball of energy exploded sending out a shock wave, which threw everyone, back about ten feet. The shock wave rippled off into the distance it looked like a bright blue light. Even after the explosion you could hear a whooshing sound as it disappeared off in the distance going as fast as a fighter jet trying to break the sound barrier. All of the lights flicked for a couple of seconds then continued burning a normal.

 

DE42 pulled himself up off the floor slowly brushing the dirt off his coat at the same time Intrigued by what had just happened. He then brushed down his trousers using the palms of his hands. He decided tom approach the head scientist he walked towards him. The head scientist had only just got up off the floor. He saw DE42 coming towards him and he knew what he was going to ask him. The rest of the scientists slowly got back on their feet, by this time the ball of energy had returned to it original size.

 

DE42: What the hell was that?

 

Head: A time shock wave

 

DE42: Has it done any damage to the equipment

 

Head: Its getting close before it completely explodes, we must hurry and get the equipment set up by

my calculations if another shock wave like that happens it will have the force and the power of a nuclear bomb

 

DE42: Has it done any damage to the equipment though

 

Head: No, it only seems to have affected the power

 

DE42: How long is it before you have the machines running

 

Head: About three minutes

 

DE42: Get to it otherwise we could all end up in 1942, which would completely mess the time line up

 

The machine had an automated voice and a silicon chip, which was as powerful as the human brain without the mistakes. DE42 heard a phone ringing from his jacket pocket, he reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out the phone he pressed the answer button then placed the headset against his left ear.

 

DE42: DE42, go ahead

 

Dobson: What’s the situation?

 

DE42: Everything’s on track, the machines nearly ready

 

The two balls of energy started to fluctuate as it did just before it sent out a shock wave as it did before. The scientists working on the two machines did not notice the fluctuations in the balls of energy. The balls of energy changed colour from the fire red to a nuclear blue, instead of shrinking like they had done before they expanded. They had grown an inch in size, DE42 turned round to see what was going on he noticed that the balls of energy were fluctuating.

 

DE42: Everybody evac NOW!

 

The scientists and agents wondered what was going, as to why he was calling evac

 

DE42: Come on, there’s going to be another shock wave

 

Once everyone realized they started rushing about all over the place looking for cover only to find the sides of vans and the JCB. The two balls of energy exploded sending two shockwaves out this time they were three times as powerful as the first set rippling through the air faster than the speed of light. It was such a beautiful thing to see it was like the ring of light around the eclipse of the sun so bright and hypnotizing.

 

One of the scientists gets up who was behind the JCB, he scarcely notices that the JCB had disappeared in front of his eyes and so has his two assistants which were crouched down beside him. His hair was ruffled as it had been blown by a ten-force gale he looked around to notice other things had disappeared. Two of the black Landrovers had disappeared and all that was left of them was a burn mark on the floor as was the same case for where the JCB had been. But there was no crater as if it had exploded. The full effects of the shockwave were unknown at that moment in time.

Meanwhile DE42 had also noticed the effects that the shock wave had caused. He quickly pulled himself to his feet and rushed over to the scientist by where the JCB was.

 

DE42: How long is it before the machines are operational?

 

Scientist: I was just about to activate them

 

DE42: Are they damaged in any way?

 

Scientist: Everything seems to be okay, but since my assistants have disappeared ill need your help in

activating them

 

DE42: What do you want me to do?

 

The scientist walked over to the control panel of the first machine and DE42 followed

 

Scientist: Right in order for the machine to work, two keys have to be turned in the lock at exactly the same time.

 

The scientist pulled the key out from his labcoat pocket and passed one to DE42

 

Scientist: Take the key and insert it into control lock one

 

The scientist did the same but putting his key in control lock two

 

Scientist: Right on the count of three turn the key as hard as you can to your right, right are you ready

 

DE42: Yeah lets just do it

 

Scientist: Okay, Three ... two ... one, TURN

 

They both turned the key at the same time then letting go of the keys. The control panel powered up and the computer started to active the time fluctuation field

 

Computer: Time fluctuation field activating in TEN . . . . . NINE . . . . . eight, seven, six, five four, three, two, one, field is active

 

A big electromagnetic surge came from the control panel and went trough the cables up into the four towers. Then the nuclear pink electromagnetic formed small laser beams they connected to each of the towers resembling a spider’s web but in the shape of a football. DE42 was amazed, as he had never seen the machine at work before.

 

Scientist: Computer, what’s the current power percentage?

 

Computer: 46 % sir

 

Scientist: Computer overwrite safety protocol alpha 6

 

Computer: Password please?

 

Scientist: Password is, PP1QXR2, authorization head scientist Thomas Lunn

 

Computer: Authorization correct access gained

 

Scientist: Computer increase power level to 70 %

 

Computer: Power level increased

 

Scientist: Computer automatically active control panel two on the other machine

 

Computer: Control panel two activated

 

Scientist: Activate machine two on a count down of three minuses

 

Computer: Activating number two in t minus Three, two, one, machine is active

 

As with the first machine the second powered up and with a 70 % power level. They both resembled the headlamps on a car.

 

Scientist: Computer, you have control of both machines I will now give you the manual control lock code, XX4BA1 Authorization Thomas Lunn

 

Computer: Authorization accepted manual input has been locked out

 

DE42: Will the machines hold?

 

Scientist: As long nothing goes wrong, then yes they will hold, I do how ever stress for security reasons that every non-essential person is evacuated to a safe distance

 

DE42: Okay, I’ll get onto it now, everybody gather round

 

All the scientists and agents all walk upto DE42

 

DE42: Listen I want non-essential personnel to report over to the van and stay there until instructed otherwise

 

Everyone apart from himself and the head scientist all walked over to the van

 

Meanwhile just after the time shockwave about 50 years ago . . ..

 

In the car that General Dobson was travelling the driver noticed that the road had disappeared and that all the street lamps were gone as well. The driver thinking that it is extremely strange he decides to pull over to see what was going

 

Dobson: Driver what are you doing?

 

Driver: I’m pulling over because I think we have gone the wrong way and I’m going to check

 

Dobson: Okay driver carry on

 

The driver started slowing and came to a complete halt. The driver opened his door and removed his seat belt, he then got out of the car. As he put his first foot on the ground it felt really lumpy he then much like wasteland. Then he put his other foot on the ground and glanced around. He walked the front of the truck shutting the door behind him the headlamps shone right across the ground for about 400 yards. He knelt down at the side of the headlamp and put his hand on the ground noticing that it was mud

 

Driver: Mud, ugh?

 

The driver was amazed, as he would have noticed if he had come off the road and gone into a field. To find out if he had just come off the road he decided to check the rear of the truck. He walked to the back and opened the boot. He reached inside amongst all of the equipment and rubbish for the torch. The general wondered what was going and decided to ask the driver.

 

Dobson: Driver what’s going on?

 

Driver: I’m not sure, but I will know more in a couple of minutes

 

Dobson: Okay but be as quick as you can as me need to get to the site in the next ten minutes

 

The driver found the torch in the boot and pulled it out. He also noticed that the streetlights had completely gone out, he thought it could be a power cut. He closes the boot door and turned the torch on. He pointed it at the ground scanning from left to right. He could see the tyre tracks embedded in the ground, he followed them for about 500 yards they he came to the end of the tyre tracks and walked about another 200 yards but still no road just mud. He shone his torch across the ground off into the distance but he could see nothing that resembled a road. He decided to walk back to the van to get the night vision goggles to double check. He opened up the boot door and once again the general was wondering what was going on.

Dobson: Driver, have you found the road yet

 

Driver: Not yet, I'm going to use the N.V.G (Night Vision Goggles) to find the road

 

Dobson: Okay, carry on

 

The driver chucked the torch into the boot and pulled out the NVG. He closed the boot door and walked back over to where he was before. He placed the NVG up against his eyes and looked through them and increased the zoom as far as it would go. He scanned the landscape from left to right he noticed that it was mud for about 2 miles in each and every direction. Even the houses he had passed he could not see, it’s as if they had disappeared and the streetlights had disappeared as well. The driver wondered what was going on so he decided to head back to the truck. He opened the driver’s door and climbed back in. The general and his two bodyguards wondered what was going on.

 

Dobson: So where’s the road?

 

Driver: There isn’t one

 

Dobson: What do you mean?

 

Driver: I don’t know it’s as if it’s disappeared into thin air

 

Dobson: So where the hell are we then?

 

Driver: I’m not sure, I will try the radio to see if I can shed any light one the situation

 

The driver flicks the radio on

 

 

 

Driver: Control, do you read this is agent Falten. Control, I repeat this is agent Falten do you read. Sir

I’m not getting any response from control. Hangon I will try a different frequency, Control, I repeat this is agent Falten do you read, overBut he was getting nothing apart from allot of static

 

Driver: Sir, I can’t get any response it’s as if the radio is dead. I’m not even picking up a signal on the

radar.

 

Dobson: What do you mean?

 

Driver: It’s as if base isn’t there

 

Dobson: Are you sure?

 

Driver: Yes, ive also double-checked the equipment and it’s working perfectly

 

Meanwhile back at the old school ground . . ..

 

The wind was blowing slowly across the ground picking up leaves and dust. The two scientists pulled them selves up. They both had a quick look around noticing that the office that had disappeared was to the left of them and the JCB in front of them. One of the scientists knew what had happened

 

Jacko: We have just traveled through time

 

Steve: What year is it?

 

Jacko pulls out a small rectangular instrument and looks at the instrument display and four numbers are displayed 1.9.4.7

 

Steve: So what year is it?

 

Jacko: It seems that we are in 1947

 

Steve: That’s weird a time shockwave normally results in objects and carbon units being sent back

100’s of years not 50

 

Jacko: It picking up two strange signals as well, one in the direction of those crowded lights over there

and the other behind us. The one behind us is a fairly big reading and its indicating the same reading as what we are producing.

 

Steve: Try the emergency radio?

 

Jacko passes the instrument to Steve and then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small hand held walky talky

 

Jacko: Blackbird this is temp site, do you come in, I repeat this is temp site do you come in

 

Back in the truck the driver hears a voice on the radio and quickly grabs the handset

 

Driver: This is agent Falten

 

Jacko: Agent Falten listen very carefully, does it seem as if everything around you has disappeared?

 

Driver: That is a positive

 

Jacko: It seems that ourselves and you have got caught up in a time shockwave

 

Every one in the truck leaned in the direction of the radio

 

Driver: What do you mean caught up in a time what

 

Jacko: In English you have just experienced time travel

 

Driver: Where and when are we then

 

Jacko: Ive calculated that it’s 1947

 

Dobson: Jacko this is General Dobson we need to establish a temp base

 

Jacko: Okay sir might I suggest that you meet us where we are as its a fairly cut off area

 

Dobson: How can we find you nothing comes up on our radar

 

Jacko: Can I speak to the person who operates the radar

 

Driver: Okay Jacko this is agent Falten what do you want me to do

 

Jacko: I need you to input a new destination code, which is D46 by F34/ L 104

 

Driver: Now entering new code, code has been entered I have your location Jacko

 

Jacko: In order to get here without being seen you will need to engage your transparency drive

 

Driver: How the hell do you do that

 

Jacko: Type in this code, LTP41689XZ

 

Driver: Okay done it

 

Jacko: Agent Falten I need you and everyone in that truck to remain still no sudden movements otherwise you will all become dog meat

 

Driver: Okay

 

Jacko: Activating transparency driver

 

Computer: Transparency drive is active

 

Jacko: Computer active the transmorph drive

 

Computer: Transmorph drive is active please select morph mode

 

Jacko: Computer activate chopper morph

 

Chapter 5

 

The truck slowly moved off the ground being pushed up by four supports two on each side of the truck these supports were the legs for the long pole feet at the base of a helicopter. From the roof of the truck a small cylinder shaped object raised up and extending out of the cylinder object was four very thin and wide arms about three meters long each. Everyone inside the truck didn’t even releasise what was going on. The door panels of the Landrover began to buckle, twisting and reforming itself. The General and the other scientists only just noticed what was going on.

 

Jacko: Computer activate stealth mode

 

Computer: Stealth mode is activating

 

The truck gradually disappeared into thin air blending in with the background like a cameillia can. Inside the truck everything appeared as normal but to people on the outside it appeared as if the truck wasn’t even there.

 

Mick approach’s what looks like a small pub. He can make out the name ` Queens head ` . He approach’s the main entrance of the pub and opens the door. While opening the door he starts to feel a bit disy and very drosey. He walks the otherside of the door and colapes.

 

The Queens head was a small village pub with it’s Sunday locals having a quite pint or two. The pub was owned by a married couple that they had owned four ten years. The landlord who was also the barman saw the strangely dressed strange colapsed on the floor. Paul rushed over to the colapsed man on the floor and called for the assistance of his wife Jenny.

 

Paul: Jenny, help me get this man upstairs

 

Paul and Jenny each grabbed one of Mick’s arms and dragged him upstairs and chucked him on the bed in the spare room. They were both curious as to who this person was.

 

Jenny: I wonder who he is?

 

Paul: Looks like he come from town and got lost

 

Jenny: Check his wallet see if it has anything that might help us

 

Paul: I can’t go in his wallet

 

Jenny: Go on dear it’s the only way we will know who he is

 

Paul slowly placed his hand in Mick’s pocket. He felt a fairly thick wallet, he pulled it out of Mick’s pocket. He opened it up, noticing a thin piece of plastic. Curious to what it could be he pulled it out of its slot.

 

Jenny: What on earth is that?

 

Paul: It’s got allot of numbers on it and there’s also a name, TSB

 

Jenny: What kind of name is that!

 

Paul: Hangon there’s another name on here Mr Mick Smith

 

Jenny: See what else is in there!

 

Paul puts the strange looking piece of plastic to one side and pulls out some pieces of paper with weird drawings on

 

Paul: Maybe he’s an artist

 

Jenny: Your right possibly he is this looks some excellent work

 

Paul: Its got a picture of the queen on it, all of them have

 

They turn the pieces of paper over not realizing that it is money from the future

 

Jenny: Paul there’s some fairly old looking person on this one and some cannons as well, see what else

is in there.

 

Paul: There’s some more strange pieces of plastic in here, this is weird

 

Jenny: What?

 

Paul: Its say’s driving licence and its also got a photo, in colour

 

Jenny: Maybe he’s American then, lets put his stuff back where we found it

 

They both placed the money and the cards back in his wallet as they had found it, Paul put the wallet back in Mick’s pocket. Paul and Jenny went back down stairs leaving Mick in piece. A old woman dressed in black walked into the pub. The chearfull drunken smokey atmosphere of the local Sunday drinkers changed to a silent nothingness sound. The old woman hobbled towards the bar, her hood covering most of her face. She was carrying a small black sack. The residents never talked to her as they thought she was into the black arts. She had lived in the village for about six years always wearing the same black clothes. Rumors had it that she had butchered her own son and used him as a scrifice to the devil. She lived in a small cottage up the road, the windows had been boarded up and the garden looked like a natural waste land. The villages even claimed that she brought them bad luck. The eyes of the local pub drinkers moved from right to left as she passed them. She placed her small black bag on the bar. Only one person would talk to her, that was Paul himself. He did not believe in al that witchcraft mumbo jumbo and was always pleased to see her.

 

Paul: How can I help Dorris?

 

Dorris: My pshyic channels are all messed up

 

Paul: Maybe a drink would help

 

Even though Paul was not a believer he still played along to keep her happy

 

Dorris: No, I’m getting a strong sense of danger for us all

 

Paul: What do you mean, by danger?

 

Dorris: I don’t know exactly, I just cant concentrate at the moment to many bad vibes and emotions

 

Paul: It will all be okay, you’ll see

 

Dorris: Maybe your right, I could need a drink, can I have half a bitter, please?

 

Paul: Certainly, Here you are, that will be a tuppence

 

Dorris pulls out a small brass coin out of her black sack and passes to Paul. Dorris always sits at the same table every Sunday in the corner of the pub near the fire. She would slowly sip her drink taking as along as she could to finish it. Some of the local drinkers would discretely leave the pub and make their way home as quickly as possible. Dorris, was a witch but a good one who aided and helped the people in vain and sadness. She never told the truth as she feared the locals would burn her, so instead she kept herself to herself and lead a quiet life with her little black cat called Hocus.

 

When a witch admits to herself what she is, she has the choice of two paths good or evil. Most witch’s take the evil path casting spells against mans good will. But a few of them become good witch’s. For a witch to choose this path it is a hard desision but one they must make one their own. Dorris even from a young age realized that she was different from all of the other children, she never fell ill or brake any bones. She was abandend at a very early age. In later years in her early twenty’s she found out her own black past. Her mother was also a witch but one who followed the path of evil, her father was an angel and regardless of their own different views they fell in love with each other. But God cast them both into hell for their in humane act.

 

Dorris did have a son, but see left him as she knew it would be safer for him if he was raised with normal parents. She hasn’t seen her son in over twenty years.

 

Back at the school yard Jacko and Steve were summing up what had happened and were trying to work a way to reverse the effects. The General was on his way it would take about an hour for him to get there. The next main thing they had to do was seal off the whole entire area, due to the fact that the time line is exstreamly fragile and one little thing in the 1940’s could have serious effects on the future

Steve’s computer started beeping, he looked at the screen. A warning indicator was flashing telling him that the time line had been changed.

 

Steve: Jacko, the time lines already starting to change

 

Jacko: Do you know what’s changing it

 

Steve: Im not sure, it could even be us

 

Jacko: We must find that bloke that came through the time flucuation field first

 

Steve reached into his pocket to pull out a piece of paper, a ten pound note fell to the floor. As he was going to pick it up he noticed that the note was changing shape and the drawing on the money were changing as well.

 

Steve: Jacko look at this, my ten pound note is changing, the queens head is disappearing and being

replaced by that of Hitlers.

 

Jacko: This is worse than I thought, history’s re-writing itself.

 

Steve: If we don’t hurry up and sort this out the 1990’s that we are used to wont exist instead an 95

year old Adolf Hitler will have ruled our country for the last 50 years.

 

In the a background they could hear the faint noise of a helicopters blade rotating. But as the noise got louder they could see nothing it only then they realized that General Dobson was here. The trees started to blow as the helicopter landed on the ground, alougth you could not see it landing you could see indentations appearing on the ground of the helicopters feet.

 

Steve pulled his walky talky out of his pocket and placed it to his mouth

 

Steve: Come in Agent Falten

 

Falten: I read you over

 

Steve: Disengage the stealth drive

 

Falten: Okay

 

The helicopter slowly reappeared out of thin air until it was fully visable. Steve instructed Agent Falten to disengage the transmorph drive. The helicopter started to change shape once again the panel started to buckle and reform, the feet dissapeared. Steve noticed that not only had his money changed so had the logo on the side of the truck. From the union airforce flag it had changed to the German cross.

 

Steve and Jacko were beginning to realize that they were running out of time. The General stepped out of the truck and walked over to the two scientists. General Dobson was very well dressed and in his mid 40's. He always carried a packet of mints on him, some people would find smoking addictive and possibly choclate. But his addiction was his peppermint mints always chewing one after another.

 

Steve and Jacko saluted the General as it was proceedure.

 

Dobson: Whats the situation

Steve: The time line is already re-writting itself, if we dont hurry the changes will be unreversable

 

Dobson: What' s changed in the time line so far I cant notice anything?

 

Steve: Your money has changed take a look at one of your notes

 

General Dobson reaches deep into his pocket and drags out his wallet, from which he pulls out a ten pound note. Dobson is confused to what has happened

 

Dobson: Whats happened to my money

 

Steve: Turn around and look at the truck

 

The general slowly turns around to look at the truck noticing that the colourfull union jack had vanished and in its place was a swas sticker. Dobson, turned back towards the scientists again.

 

Dobson: What the hell is going one around here

 

Dobson lamps up a cigarette and places it to his mouth

 

Steve: The time fields are colappsing

 

Dobson: What ?

 

Steve: Right at the moment were in 1947 and our own time which is 1997. Both parts of the time line are emerging as one. Once they have fully merged, the whole of time and space while

colapse creating a black time whole.

 

Dobson: Whats a black time whole?

 

Jacko: Its like a wormhole but instead of only just taking an object to another place it also take's that object to a different time.

 

Steve: The time lines changing again

 

The ground starts to shake vilently, a big rock begins to push up into the air from the ground about 200 meters away. As it stops asending it starts to take shape as a tower office block, a couple more appear next to the first one. Everyone is stairing at the site in amazement.

 

Steve: Enage the cloacking device now !

 

Falten: Im getting no response from the controls on the dash board

 

Steve notices that the truck is disappearing in the same way a fuse burns slowly disappearing

 

Steve: Every one get out of the truck !

 

Falten: The door's are jammed

 

Steve runs over to the truck and climbs up onto the bonnet, he starts to kick the window screen hard and harder until it breaks, the window screen shatters and sends glass everywhere.

 

Steve: Come everyone out the front

 

The four agents climbed out of the truck one after another each running as clear as they could from the vecihcle

 

Dobson: How long do we have ?

 

Steve: At the current changes and ratio, I would say about two hours max before the black time hole

starts to form.

 

The landscape was changing by the minute, buildings appearing and disappearing. Jacko’s time flux meter started to react beeping exstreamly loud a danger light started flashing on the top of his hand held device. Jacko looked at the device, he tapped the machine with his hand, he could not believe what he was seeing his readings were off the chart. He did a systems check to make sure his machine had not be damaged after discovering nothing was wrong with the machine he started to panic.

 

Jacko tried to make his way over to the general the ground started to shake about as powerfull as a aftershock of an earthquake, the leaves in the trees started to sway slowly. All of them stood still as they were not to sure what to expect next. The door to the school had been left open it started move back and forwards gently tapping against the doorframe. Jacko’s meter was still beeping but he did not notice. They heard a roaring sound coming from above up in the sky, getting stronger and louder like random beats of a drum almost beating along to a rythym. The ground started to shake faster and harder.

 

Jacko tried to get the generals attention by shouting at the top of his voice

 

Jacko: Sir we must evacuate

 

Dobson: WHAT!

 

Jacko: WE NEED TO EVACUATE, NOW!

 

Dobson: WHY?

 

Jacko: THE WHOLE AREA IS UNSTABLE I DONT KONW WHAT WILL HAPPEN

 

Dobson: YOU , HEARD HIM EVERY ONE EVACUATE

Chapter 6

As they were all running from the areas it was like an assult course all running for their lives hoping not to get caught up by deformed buildings and ruins. 

Building continued to form twisting up out of the ground it was strange. The ground really started to shake with awsume power, the clouds started to groan and rumble and the excitement of the air could not be contained. Waves of sheet lightning started to hit the ground like the bulits of a machine gun at random intervals, once hitting the ground they spread out like a shock wave. After all the calculations this is something Jacko or Steve were not expecting. The carried on running jumping ruins and deformed building like hurdles. At this time they were all getting exstreamly naked but they could not stop for a break as they could still here the rumbling of the clouds and the ground groaning. 

They had now been running for half an hour across grass and ploughed fields, they stopped to take a breather, two of the men were about half a mile back. Still being chased by the shockwave of sheet lighting and the ever changing waves of time flowing like oil across the top of a river. The rest of them were at a safe distance they turned around to notice these two figures running for their lives but the waves of time were catching up with them trying to pull them in. The General started to rant and rave at the two men, who were by this time extreamly knakered from running such a distance. But through all of the noise and confusion they could not here them. 

Dobson carried on shouting at the men, offering them moral support, but the waves of time were to quick for them. A bolt of lighting struck them both holding them there as if they were attached to a piece of rope. Then the shockwave caught up with them and dragged them in, Dobson was unsure what would happen to them. The shock wave carried on going towards them like a tiger hunting its prey, getting closer and closer, the men started running again as fast as they could, glancing behind them as it was catching up. Then something hit them and sent them up into the air flying across the land like birds, they had all lost concentration of what was going on behind them.

Two Hours later

The break of dawn was upon them, the sun was slowly appearing, the birds started to sing mating calls to each other. A local farmer was doing his rounds checking his prize crop making sure it was okay for harvest next month. On this morning he decided to bring his dog, Kate with him after about a twenty minute walk across the land Kate started to bark at him, she picked up a sent. Before he could say anything she had bolted about a mile in front to a small quiet location under a oak tree. The farmer, Harry tried calling Kate, he could hear her barking under the old oak tree. John thought she had found another dead rat

John: Come here Kate, Kate her girl

John walked towards where she was, john couldn’t see much because the tree sat on a small hill surrounded by grass as high as his own waste line. Kate continued to bark at what John thought was a dead rat, as he drew near to the old oak tree climbing through tall blades of grass. He noticed what looked like people, he was uncertain of what to expect so he pulled out his 1937 double barreled shotgun. From his left pocket on his waist jacket he pulled out a couple of shells, he cocked his gun and loaded the shells. He continued with caution holding his shoot gun with both hands with a tight grasp.

As he got closer he was able to make out 5 figures all dressed heavily in black clothing, he woundered if they were German fighter pilots which had crashed on his land, although he couldn’t actually see any signs of a plane crash he still procceded with caution. 

General Dobson began to come around, his vision was very blury at first but it improved after a while. His vision was almost okay, to notice this small little runt of a dog barking in his face, he tried to sit put and heard a voice telling him not to.

John: You stay where you are

Dobson, saw two mucky boots standing next to the dog, he looked up to see a scruffy old man holding a shotgun pointing at him. This scruffy old man hushed his dog up, the dog slowly got up and sat behind his masters legs.

John: Who might you be then?

Not realising fully what had gone on and his memory wasn’t all there either, Dobson stated “ Im general Dobson of the United kingdom Army” stated the general. John was a bit lost because never before had he ever come across a strangely dressed bunch of soldiers. 

John: You say your from the Army?

Dobson: Yes I’m in the Army, in the special operations section

John: What’s with the black uniforms?

Dobson: It’s army standards, whats with all the questions, don’t you know they changed the standards 

After the big debut held in the house of commons in May of 97, it was voted that all army uniforms should be black to remember the dead.

John: That’s some fairy tale you have just come up with, don’t you realise that its 1949

Dobson: What, don’t be stupid 1999

John: I don’t know all of these medical tests that the scientists are carrying out just seams to mess 

everything up

Dobson: Medical tests?

Slowly the rest of the men started to wake up, all confused to what had happened and where they were

John: Its ever since Adolf Hitler took over five years ago everything’s gone to hell,

Dobson: Adolf hitler

John: Sometimes you can hear screaming coming from research plant about two miles that way. 

The same Way Dobson and his men had originally come from. John noticed two vehicles approaching his direction at high speed, Dobson noticed that the farmer looked worried as if something terrible was about to happen. 

John: Shit, it’s the SS, they have spotted you

Dobson: The SS

But before he had chance to ask, the farmer had dropped his shot gun and started to pick up a pace running into the distance

Falten: Sir, what’s the SS?

Dobson: I’m not sure but I don’t think we want to meet them, what’s weapon status

Falten: Not brilliant, we have two machine guns, two time distruptors, a heat seeking rocket launcher,

Three experienced soldiers and two scientists.

The two vans were getting close a great speed, Dobson was not sure what to do

Dobson: Protect Steve and jacko at all costs they are our only way out of hear, agent Falten and agent 

Shortland take up positions, you two remember the 94 hostage incident assume defensive level 1.

Dobson picked up the farmers shotgun off the ground, the two agents loaded their weapons and took position. 

Dobson: On my command open fire

The two vans had pulled up about four hundred yards from the tree, in total about 15 men pilled out of the two vans. One of the soldiers was ordering the rest of the men about, to Dobson he looked like a prime target he was possibly their commanding officer. The commanding officer, was the first one to walk towards the old oak tree. Dobson found this strange as normally the officers stayed right out of the way

Johnson: I’ am Commanding officer Fredrik Johnson of the SS all of you are surrounded and under 

Arrest, by orders of Hitler himself.

Dobson: Falten take out the nine to your left, agent Shortland take out the five to your right

Shortland: Okay sir, lets lock and load

Falten removed the safety catch from his M16 ready to fire, tightly grasping his finger around the trigger. He pulled the trigger but nothing happened, he checked to see if his gun had jammed, Shortland also gave it a try but nothing was happening

Shortland: Sir, my guns jammed

Dobson: Well sort it out then

Dobson and shortland kept trying their guns but nothing was happening. By this time Johnson’s men were slowly approaching them

Dobson: What are you waiting for, kill them

Falten: My gun, its not working, its as if it can’t fire

Shortland: Mine to sir

Dobson: Shit!, Steve, Jacko any suggestions

Steve: Not that I can think of

Dobson: Hang on what about the rocket launcher?

Falten checked the launcher but nothing was working, all of them were getting exstreamly tense. Then Steve had an idea “Sir what if I was to use the time distruptor to disable them”

Dobson: Just do it, and fast.

Luckly Steve’s time distruptor was still working, he set the a small pulse to disable the men and fired it towards their directions. But nothing had happened they were still getting closer, “ Where’s your great idea then” said Dobson 

Steve: Hangon just wait one minute

Dobson: We don’t have a fucking minute, sort it NOW!

At that moment, the men came to a complete halt. They froze just like statues

Dobson: Is this your great plan

Steve: Yes, we have about four minutes before these frozen statues awake

Dobson: Right you heard the man lets get moving, Steve, Jacko follow me, everyone head towards the 

Truck, Falten, Shortland strip those five men. Take their weapons as well

Steve: We have about a minute left

Dobson: Everyone in the van now

Dobson halted a minute, he cocked the shot gun and began to fire letting rip shell after shell at the other van. He knew wasn’t on their side, after he had fired the last shell he cobbed the gun  towards the winder screen, it went through like at knife cutting through butter.

Falten: Sir, we need to go now

Dobson: Okay I’m coming

As he was making his way towards the van he noticed the men had started to move again, Falten started the van revving the engine over as hard as he could. The men heard the sound of the roaring engine they turned round. Johnson started to rant and rave at them.

Johnson: Holt in the name of Hitler, continue and you will all be sent to the death chamber

Slowly the were creeping towards the, the sound of the roaring engine could be heard at least a mile or more away. Falten was unsure what to do, he need to consult the general

Falten: Sir which way

Dobson: Straight ahead, now

Falten: But sir .. 

Dobson: That’s an order, now step on it  

He  removed his foot from the clutch, the van started to move picking up speed exstreamly quickly, ploughing through the confused soldiers, knocking them over like bowling pins. The van continued to pick up speed, getting faster and faster.

Johnson: Holt in the name of Hitler, I command you

He commanded his men to open fire, through the flood over bulits the van kept on going until it was out of sight. Dobson commanded Falten to keep driving and driving as far as they could away from the whole area. One thing that they did not know is that the germans had the advantage, Johnson reached into his pocket to pull out his mobile phone.

Johnson: This is Johnson, base dispatch the scouts

By the name you would think scout’s are little children that go around selling cookies but completely the opposite. Scouts are an advanced pro-type, consisting of human parts such as brains and other organs. They resembled oval shaped flying saucers, with a metallic finish .Their job is to seek and destroy, an enemy target as requested, they have some awesome fire power with a mounted harpoon launcher with heat seeking sight, laser sighting and two double barreled anti tank machine guns. They also have the ability to go into stealth mode even when firing weapons. Which makes them the most advanced air born killing machine.

Chapter 7

Meanwhile twenty minutes away, the roaring engine of the run away van was still going. By this time the renegade time travellers were getting tired

 

Falten: Can we stop, yet

 

Dobson: Head towards that abandoned building

 

What they did not know is that the van was fitted with a automated navigation system.

 

Van: Warning, armed vechiles approaching!

 

Dobson: Who was that?

 

Van: I am the vans on board PCU

Van: Warning Scout’s approaching at 400mph

 

Dobson: What are scout’s?

 

Van: Scout’s are prototype advanced killing machine, fitted with two double barreled anti-tank 

machine guns and heat seeking harpoons.

 

Dobson: Falten, step on it

 

They were only about four hundred yards from the abandoned building, with the scouts gaining by the second. As they were getting closer Dobson noticed it was an old coal mine, 

 

Van: Warning, line of fire has been breached 

 

The scouts closed in on the van, which was just at the entrance of the coal mine. The scouts at this time adjusted high and speed just hovering above ground level. Dobson was getting worried so were the men and the two scientists.

 

Van: Warning! Weapons are powering up

 

The scouts fired, then they rolled back and pulled away. Agent Shortland looked out of the back of the van to notice two big balls of fire coming towards them, the van skidded into the abandoned coal mine. Closely being followed by the two missiles, the back end of the van lift up to a 45 degree angle for about five seconds accompned by a big wooshing sound and every thing went pitch black.

 

Meanwhile Johnson was waiting for the situation from the scouts…

 

One of his men came upto him and stood to attention

 

Johnson: Go ahead private

 

Private: The fuehrer wishes to speak with you

 

Johnson: I will be their in a minute, relay him to the van on a secure ferquency

 

Private: Understood sir, Hail Hitler

 

Johnson: Hail Hitler

 

The private soluted General Johnson and left heading towards the van. Johnson walked off towards the van, which had badly been buckled by Dobson and his renegade time travelers. He switched on the view screen to see the face of the Fuehrer. The fuehrer looked exstreamly pissed.

 

Fuehrer: What is the situation?

 

Johnson: The renegade’s stole a van, after trying to use their weapons upon us. I have just received 

reports that they have gained entrance to the underworld via an abandoned coal mine. The 

scouts were unsucessfull in their pursuit.

Fuehrer: You have failed not just me, but our great nation, I will not tolerate failure

 

Johnson: Iam sorry Fuehrer, I will do my best to capture them.

 

Fuehrer: This is your last chance, fail and you will be excecuted

 

Johnson: My Fuehrer, I need re-inforcement’s and access to the armory

 

Fuehrer: Your wish is granted!, remember do not fail

 

Johnson: Thankyou my Fuehrer, I will keep you updated

 

With that Johnson turned off the view screen, and decided he needed to get a link with the armory.

 

Johnson: Private

 

Private: Yes sir

 

Johnson: Establish a link with the armory

 

Private: As you wish, a link has been established

 

The view screen came on automatically, at the other end was Sargent Perry who was in charge of the Fuehrer’s armory. Only people who had direct orders from Hitler himself could access the armory as it was a level 1 area.

 

Johnson: I have direct orders from the Fuehrer himself

 

Perry: What is your clearance code?

 

Johnson: 146 – B

 

Perry: What is your full name and position?

 

Johnson: General David Johnson of the SS, 1st officer to the Fuehrer

 

Perry: What do you require?

 

Johnson: I want an underground dispatch team to leave ASAP for the underworld, I also want two heat 

Seeking AH – 64 helicopters, ten scouts with underworld weapons, twenty V4 Spartan tanks and 1000 ground droids. Hail the Fuehrer

 

He then turned the view screen off

 

 

The Fuehrer was a very powerful commander and was protect by the high and well trained bodyguards. Since he had taken over the UK he had establish a whole chain of command posts and army bases but the head base was in the former village of Parston Village, which had been renamed to Berlin2. One of his ambitions was to completely remove and destroy anything British. When he took over he had all members of the royal family executed all members of the airforce, navy and army put into concentration camps where they were to be executed and then dumped in land fill site which would
