The house began to clutched the arm of the sofa and held on for dear life. Caroline squeezed the pillow she had been holding onto.

"What's happening?" Caroline shouted.

"I don't know!" Olivia shouted back. Outside they could hear wind howling, but truthfully it sounded more like screaming. Olivia remembered checking the weather earlier that morning. It was supposed to have been a cloudless day. Sunny, 98* being the highest, with a low of 80 degrees. There hadn't been any sirens (which was the usual warning for a twister). Then all of a sudden they were engulfed in a huge white light, and as far as they knew there was nothing beyond that light.

"Hey. Hey are you ok?" The voice was distant. When Olivia realized that it was talking to her she forced her eyes open. At first, everything was blurry but ever so slowly a picture came into focus.

"I - I think so." Then she realized who was talking to her. She realized who was leaning over her. The one person that stood out in an ever growing crowd that was surrounding her. "Maybe not." She was a little dizzy, but it was more than that. What she was seeing couldn't really be real. Olivia knew she was dreaming.

"Whoa. Just. Take it easy." His hand was holding on to her arm so gently.

"What's your name?" He asked her.

"Olivia." Came the wary response.

"Do you know what year it is?"

"Yeah. 2010." His level of concern increased.

"Close. But you're a couple years off."

"What? This really isnt funny."

"I'm not trying to be." He said.

'O.K. One more question. Do you know who the president is?"

Olivia rolled her eyes as she tried to stand to her feet and she answered: "Yeah. Duh. Obama." He gave her another look.

"Why do you keep looking at me that way?" She asked him as she yanked her arm away from his hold.

"Because I don't think you should be standing." But Olivia finally noticed where they were.

Then she remarked:"Yeah, well, I don't think the middle of the road is the smartest spot to be sitting down either." He nodded. She pushed her way to the side walk.

"Ok people. There's nothing to see here anymore." With one intense stare, the crowd was divided and everyone went back to what they had been doing before she had showed up on the scene.

"I should probably take you to a hospital." Olivia shook her head.

"No. Considering the circumstances I don't want to go to a hospital." She paused, concerned that Caroline was no where to be seen. "Let's go back to your place." She was surprised those words had come out of her mouth. The man shot a look back at Olivia that matched her own emotions. But there was also a measure of uneasiness meshed in his mien.

"Why don't I drive you back to your place. A friend of mine is waiting for me in the car, if you just tell us where you-"

"That wont be possible."

"What?" He asked.

"Look, something really strange is going on here. And I'm not sure what. And the only way to get you to believe anything I'm about to tell you is by telling you that I know who you are and what you do." He grunted.

"Oh yeah?"

"Your name is Elliot."

"Lucky guess." He grunted, but she had caught his attention.

"You've got a price on your head in three different countries, and right now you're working with a group of thieves who like to play robin hood. An ex insurance agent, Nathan Ford, a cat burglar named Parker, a hacker (Alec Hardison) and a grifter whom you all call Sophie." Elliot wasn't happy.

"I'm not sure how you know all of that."

"I'll tell you. If you take me to your place. Nate's apartment. The one that he rented after you guys had to split up for six months."
