Chapter 10: Legend of the Engineer

About 45 minutes after Ed and FIDO headed for the surface, David and the others went up to the surface. They went outside to find Ed and FIDO but what they only found were human corpses and blue blood and guts. The team searched all over the place to see where Ed and FIDO had gone to but there were no traces of them except for Ed's shotgun and hammer laying on the ground. David picked up both of them as Chris said from a distance, "Where have they gone? They couldn't have left us here, Ed's not like that."

"No, you're right. Ed would never leave someone behind," said Tom, "but she's not dead either, she can't be. I mean her body is nowhere to be found."

"She's not dead," said David plainly, "she's so very much alive and so is FIDO. They're together and safe."

Chris and Tom walked over to David with puzzled expressions. "What makes you think that Davy?" asked Chris.

"I have a feeling that she and FIDO are alive but they're in a place that we can never reach. Somewhere that is beyond everything that we could ever imagine and somewhere that they didn't want to go to in the first place," said David as if someone else was speaking for him, "They were taken from us but they'll be back, I'm certain of it."

"Well, after what we've seen today I believe you," said Tom with a satisfied grin, "At least they're safe now."

"But how long will they be gone?" asked Chris.

David looked up into the blue sky and said, "I don't know but what I do know is that when Ed does come back I'll be ready to be at her side no matter what. I'll be stronger than I am now so that way when she does come back she'll no longer have to protect me, instead it'll be me who will protect her." Just then David grinned, thinking of the day he would have his chance to protect the woman whom he had loved and adored for only a short period of time. "I'll protect you this time Ed," he thought as he walked with Chris and Tom out of the complex and towards the future where the unknown awaited for them.
