Beep beep beep. "can't I sleep in for once!"
Jack groaned as he got up and walked over to the beeping monitor.
"So what is it now?"
The screen showed a huge rift spike. Something had come out of the rift again. It seemed to be coming from the small cafe right around the corner from Cardiff Bay. The monitor was still beeping loudly.
"ok,ok I'm going" he said as he put on his WWII military coat and walked off toward the little cafe.
"Where am I? And wait where are they?!" I got up and looked around frantically and collapsed back to the ground relieved. They didn't come through that rift with me. But back to the first question. Where did that rift take me? Maybe if I wander around a bit I'll figure it out.
As he pulled up to the cafe he didn't see anything out of the ordinary. No alien terrorizing the pedestrians. No screaming or running or chaos of any kind. hmmm that's weird Jack thought. Could it have been a false alarm? No the monitor would've been beeping that loud if some alien hadn't come out of the rift. Maybe...
Suddenly he heard a scream and he ran towards it. When he got closer he saw the scream came from a middle aged woman and than he saw why she was screaming bloody murder. A weevil had come above ground and was attacking a girl, maybe 15? But here was the interesting part the girl said something and right away the Weevil just stopped smiled (if that's even possible and headed back to sewers. At a few simple words, well they sounded like a different language but...
The girl started to walk away. "Hey wait a minute," Jack shouted.
I quickened my pace. Was he talking to me? Should i stop and see what he wants? No. No don't trust anyone I told myself. still... I slowed down a bit but didn't stop. I'll see what he wants. If he doesn't seem right than I'll run for it. The man easily caught up with me. "Hey could I talk to you a minute?" He asked, "You see there's a few questions I need to ask you."
"And why is that?" I asked with a little more attitude than I inteneded.
"Well you see..." the man paused a minute, "I'm here to help you. I have reasons to believe you came out of the rift."
I stood there frozen. How did he know about rifts? Cracks in time and space! The man continued "I work for this organization and we investigate the things that come out of the rift."
My mind told me i should just walk away but for some reason I found myself smiling at the man and walking into the little cafe with him.
