Nothing. Nothing happened. They were still in the tent, and it was still 1934.

The team looked at each other in shock, and then at Frank and Ardeth, having been sure that it was going to work.

"I don't understand," Frank said, shaking his head. "My blood is what made it send us here!"

They were all quiet for a minute, thinking, at a loss. They were surprised when Ardeth suddenly took another dagger from his waist, and drew it across his own palm. "That was before our souls were made as one."

Understanding, Frank held the amulet out towards Ardeth, from where it hung around his neck. Ardeth squeezed his own blood onto it, and suddenly…..

Frank swayed dizzily on his feet, as his vision swam madly. He felt hands on him, felt himself being pulled somewhere. When he could see again, he found that he was leaning against a building—

—on a very familiar looking sidewalk.

Everyone was looking at him and their surroundings, with happy expressions on their faces.

"Frank!" Alex exclaimed. "It worked! We're home! Are you all right?"

Frank nodded, feeling dazed. He looked down at his hand to see it still bleeding, and he took a handkerchief out of his pocket, and stuck it into his palm.

"I can't believe it…we're home, we're home…" Cody mumbled, repeatedly.

"Yeah, and our first stop is gonna be the hospital," Jake said, throwing a concerned look at Frank.

Frank shook his head. "It doesn't need stitches, Jake…"

"I'm talking about your gunshot wounds," Jake said. "Not just your hand. Now you can get the real treatment you need."

"And tell them what?" Frank countered. "That I was shot on this sidewalk, and the people who took the bullets out and sewed me up were from the year 1934?"

Jake blinked at that.

"He has a point, Jake," said Monica, with a smile.

"I can't believe it…" Cody kept mumbling. "I can't believe…" he stopped, looking at Frank with a frown. "Uh, boss…where did your gray hair go?"

Frank frowned, bringing his hand up to feel his temple, where he had grown a small amount of gray hair early, on both sides. "What are you talking about?" he asked. "You mean it isn't there?"

"Barely," Cody answered.

"Is he right?" Frank asked the rest of them.

Everyone nodded, looking puzzled.

Suddenly Monica gasped. "Frank! How old are you?" she asked.

"Thirty…one?" Frank said, his jaw nearly dropping. "I was 34 before this all happened!" He shook his head, as contradicting memories started to flood his mind.

"You're younger then me!" Jake exclaimed.

"Me too!" said Cody, in shock. "Jake! We're older then our boss!"

"We all are, you dope!" said Alex, looking utterly shocked.

Cody looked at Frank again. "How did you know suddenly, that you're 31 instead of 34?"

Frank shook his head. "I don't know…the fact was just there, in my mind."

"You're starting to have the memories you should have in this timeline," Monica told him, her voice full of wonder.

"But how did this happen?" Cody asked, incredulous.

"Remember, Alanur had been born before Ardeth had died originally," said Jake. "But something happened to mess that up, and that's why we were sent there; not only to prevent Ardeth's death, but to ensure Frank's birth. Now, in this timeline, Alanur was born later, and so were you!"

They all just stood there for a minute, astounded at the bizarre events. Suddenly Frank felt for the amulet around his neck, to find that it was no longer there.

The others noticed.

"What sense does that make?" said Monica. "It was on you before we left 1934."

Frank had no idea, and shook his head, disappointed.

"Well, we can't just stand around here all day," Alex said. "Let's get you home, Frank."

They made their way back to Frank's Volvo, and Alex was delighted when he handed her his car keys. As they all got in, Frank suddenly realized something.

"Where's Alex?" he said.

"I'm right here," she said, looking at him oddly.

He shook his head. "I mean Alex O'Connell."

Everyone gasped, and piled out of the car again, looking around for him. Suddenly, in front of them, a minivan went through a red light, prompting a pickup truck on the other side to beep his horn at it, as the driver jammed on his brakes to avoid hitting him.

"Whoa!" Cody yelled. "Déjà vu!"

"That's it!" said Monica. "That happened on our way into the museum that day. The amulet returned us to where we'd been before the situation happened, because now, it doesn't need to happen!"

"So it returned O'Connell to the inside of the museum, where he'd been before he saw Frank?" Jake asked.

"Wait a minute," said Cody. "Since he doesn't have to find Frank now, then wouldn't he be in England or whatever, since he wouldn't've had to come to Chicago?"

"Not if the amulet brought him back to where he'd been before," said Frank. "Let's find out."

"Look!" said Alex. "There he is!"

They all looked to where she pointed to see Alex O'Connell walk out of the museum.

Before any of them had a chance to yell to him, he saw them and quickly came over. When he reached them, he immediately grabbed Frank's good arm, happily. "We did it!"

Frank smiled, and nodded his head as O'Connell shook his hand vigorously. New memories were popping into Frank's mind, memories he knew sprouted from this 'new' timeline.

"I can't believe it… after all these years, it worked!" O'Connell shook his head, and smiled again. Suddenly he let loose with a huge yawn, all the activity catching up to his old body.

"Are you staying at a hotel?" Frank asked him.

Alex nodded. "Yeah…uh, no."

The team frowned at the two of them, as they looked at each other, puzzled.

"I was at a hotel, before the amulet situation," Alex said, shaking his head with a smile. "But now…"

"He's been staying at my place," Frank said, to his team. "We've known each other since I was a kid."

"Whoa, this is getting to be too weird…" said Cody, looking spooked.

"We'll talk about it later," said Jake. "Right now we gotta get two exhausted people home."

They're back in Chicago! Yay! No, that wasn't the end of the story, lol! ;)
