prologue

"I'm not leaving you here!" the anguished cry echoed in the hull of the ship. A man in a trench coat stood, crying looking back at someone hidden in shadows. "You have to dad. They're coming and we can't risk them getting you too. I'll be alright." The voice came from the shadows, desperate trying to convince the man. The shape of a box was beginning to take shape in the corner of the hull. "please dad." The voice came again, begging. The box got more and more solid. The man gave the shadows one last agonizing look before turning and running over to the blue box. As his ship took off he bowed his head, let the tears fall and whispered, though no one but himself could hear. "I'm sorry son. I'm so, so sorry. I'll come back for you. Wait for me no matter how long it takes because I will come back for you."
