100 miles away from Seattle
A little over an hour ago Logan had managed to get hold of an old map. It had taken quite a lot of effort to find the map that showed the location of Roswell. Logan had to be discreet when he asked for a map that showed the location of Roswell. He didn't want manticore to find out where he would be going. As a result of all the secrecy Logan had to call in a few favours. As eyes only he had to pull a few strings and pay a few people to get hold of the necessary paperwork and sector passes. Logan only hoped that all of the trouble had been worth it. If Jim was lying about Zack being alive he personally make sure that Jim didn't live to see his next birthday.
Roswell
"Why have you remained in this town for so long," Zack asked as he and Jim walked down one of Roswell's mains roads.
"Family. I also feel that it is my duty to protect Roswell from the government," Jim said as they turned the corner that led to the crashdown.
"Why didn't the pulse effect you," Zack asked as they came to a stop outside the diner.
"I didn't escape Zack. I came away from the pulse with both a curse and a blessing," Jim said
"What do you consider it to be both your curse and you're blessing," Zack asked
"My curse, its been this," Jim said as he pointed towards the inside of the crashdown. Zack looked though the window and could people who had been frozen in place. They had been frozen in time. Some of the people were eating, others were laughing and they had stayed like that for the last 10 years.
"How did this happen," Zack asked.
"When the pulse hit time stood still for this town. Everyone you see in this town hasn't and will never age a day. I wasn't effected by the pulse because I wasn't here when it happened," Jim said
"Why is it such a curse," Zack asked.
"I know that the only way any of these people will wake up is when the royal four come back," Jim said
"Isn't there any way you can contact them," Zack asked
"Oh there is a way, but I have never used it. They left Roswell to go home and I can't drag them back here to undo the damage they've caused," Jim said
"Are you saying just four people caused the pulse," Zack asked
"Yes," Jim said as he looked around the town and fixed his gaze back on Zack.
"Well they can come back and fix the damage," Zack said
"Its not that easy Zack. I can't drag the four of them back. They've gone to a place that needs them a lot more than Roswell does," Jim said as he started walking again
"Would you ever contact them if you needed to," Zack asked as he walked along side Jim
"Yes I would," Jim said as they came to a stop by an old 1990s jeep.
Jim got into the drivers side of the car and Zack got into the passenger side of the car. Jim pointed his finger towards the ignition of the jeep and started the jeep.
"How did you do that," Zack asked in a surprised tone of voice.
"Magic," Jim said with a sad smile.
Jim pulled the jeep away from the kerb and started the journey towards the meeting point.
"Does Logan know everything about Roswell," Zack asked
"All he needs to know kid," Jim said as he put his foot to the pedal.
Logan had been on the road now for what seemed like an eternity. He had passed various different road signs some of then had been burnt top a cinder. Other signs had been pulled down and used as grave markers. As Roswell got closer Logan was becoming more and more on edge. The road was empty; Logan hadn't seen another car in the last two hours. Normally you would expect to see at least one or two cars, but as soon as he had taken the road that led to Roswell there hadn't been another sign of a car on the road. It was starting to give Logan the creeps. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice the jeep that was driving down the opposite side of the road. The jeep drove past him and then the jeep turned back round and tried to flag him down. Oh great this is all I need a nutcase in a jeep trying to steal my car. The jeep drove closer to Logan's car until it was by the side of him. Logan didn't even bother to see who was trying to flag him down; he just drove a lot faster. The jeep drove past Logan and spun round so that it now blocked the road. Logan was trapped. Oh, he could have driven his car around the jeep, but he was sitting in his car frozen with fear. The driver of the jeep got out of the jeep and came over to Logan's car. He went up to the driver's side of Logan's car and gently knocked on the window. With a shaking hand Logan pressed a button and the window opened.
"Logan," Jim said
"Jim," said Logan hesitantly. This man sounded like Jim, but he looked too young to have been an adult when the pulse hit.
"The one and only," Jim said with a smile.
"Jim, what the hell did you think you were doing driving like that," snapped Logan as he got out of his car.
"If you paying any kind of attention to your map you would have noticed that you are fifty miles away from Roswell," Jim said with a wry smile
"Where is Zack," demanded Logan as he noticed the other person who was sitting in the jeep.
"Its nice to see you as well. His sitting in the jeep," Jim said.
Logan went to go and see Zack, but Jim held out a restraining hand.
"Logan you're going have to wait a little bit longer," Jim said as he took out a small instrument out of his pocket.
"What is that," Logan asked as he pointed to the instrument.
"It a device that looks for bugs. Would you hold out your arms Logan," asked Jim as Logan held out his arms. Jim ran the tracer over Logan's arms and the rest of his body.
"Was that really necessary," Logan asked as he put his arms back down. He knew that Jim was just being careful, but at this moment in time he really didn't care. He just wanted to go over to the jeep and see Zack. He wanted to hug Zack and never let him go.
"Yes it was necessary Logan. I have to take precautions," Jim said as he went over to logins car to check for bugs. Logan was about to go and see if it was really Zack sitting in the car, when Jims voice interrupted him.
"Logan stay right where you are," Jim said.
"Since when have I taken orders from you," snapped Logan.
"Stop acting like a child Logan. If you want to see Zack your going to have to wait for an hour," Jim said as he finished checking the car for bugs. Jim then went back to Logan so he could talk to him face to face.
"Why do I have to wait for an hour," Logan asked
"Do you honestly want to go and see Zack in the middle of nowhere? It's a dangerous place out here Logan and I will not allow you to put Zack in any danger," Jim said
"I would never let anything harm Zack," said Logan who was hurt that Jim believed he would put Zack in any danger.
"Then you won't mind waiting for an hour," Jim said
"Why an hour," Logan asked
"It takes an hour to get back to town. I know its gonna be hard for you to wait an hour to see Zack, but its necessary. When we all get back to town you can talk to him them," Jim said as he walked away from Logan and got back into the jeep with Zack.
Logan stared at the jeep wondering why he was doing exactly what Jim told him to do. Logan never took orders from people he barely knew or trusted. Hell he could go over to the jeep right now and see Zack. He could just ignore Jim. Logan knew that Jim was right it wasn't safe for any of them to stay here for to long. Logan knew he could wait an hour to see Zack. When they got back to Roswell Logan would see Zack again. It was something he could wait an hour for. An hour wasn't that long, when they had the rest of the lives together.
"Is Logan alright," Zack asked
"His fine kid. A little pissed of that he has to wait for an hour to see you, but other than that his fine," Jim said
"Does he understand why he has to wait until we get back to town," Zack asked. He didn't want Logan thinking he didn't want to see him.
"Yeah I explained it to him. Don't worry so much kid when we get back to town you and Logan can get reacquainted," Jim said with a sly smile. Jim then started the jeep and began the drive back to Roswell town.
Logan watched as the jeep pulled away, what am I doing trusting a complete stranger with mine and sacks safety. How do I know that he won't kill Zack and me the first chance he gets? Then the words that Jim said earlier on to him came to mind "If I wanted to kill you Logan I would have killed you by now." So why did Logan still felt uneasy every time he was near Jim. Logan got back into his car and started to follow Jim's jeep back to Roswell.
The three people had gathered by the roadside wondering how they were going to get back to Roswell. As luck would have it there was a jeep coming towards them.
Pointing towards the jeep that was coming them Michael asked max "Hey Maxwell isn't that your jeep."
Max looked in the direction that Michael was pointing in and was surprised to see that it was his jeep.
"Who would have access to my jeep," max asked
"Maxwell we've been gone for ten years mom and dad most probably sold it," Isabel said as she held out her thumb waiting for the jeep to stop for them all.
"Well it looks like the journey back to Roswell is going to be interrupted by my least favourite people in this world," Jim said indicating towards the three people that had gathered by the roadside and were now waiting for him to stop.
"Should we be stopping when we are so close to Roswell," Zack asked
"No, but we don't have much of a choice," Jim said.
Jim pulled the jeep to a stop next to where the group had gathered and waited for Logan to stop as well. After a couple of minutes Logan's car came to a stop and he rolled down one of his windows so he could see why Jims jeep had come to such a sudden stop.
"Jim why are we stopping now," Logan asked
Jim got out of the jeep and went over to Logan's car.
"We have hitchhikers," Jim said
"Should we be picking up complete strangers," Logan asked
"There not strangers Logan. They are the very people that are the cause of the pulse and I will not have them wondering the roads searching for Roswell. I don't need them to bring any unnecessary attention to Roswell," Jim said as he walked back towards the group.
"Kyle is that you," Isabel asked
"Kyle died twelve years ago Isabel. Now why don't you all get into the jeep before anyone sees you," Jim said
"Who are you to order us about," Michael snapped.
Quicker than the eye could see Jim grabbed hold of Michael by the neck and lifted him three feet of the ground.
"We can either do this the hard or easy way. Personally I would prefer it if you choose the hard why," Jim said tightening his hold on Michael neck.
"Kyle let him go," max demanded.
"You are in no position to tell me what to do max. Now are you going to get in the jeep," Jim asked as he let go of Michael neck and let him fall to the ground with a thud.
"God Kyle did you have to be so rough with him," Isabel asked inspecting the damage that Jim had done to Michael's neck
"He will heal max," Jim said as he got back into the jeep.
"Are you so certain that these people can be trusted," Logan asked. Logan didn't like the fact that these three people were in the middle of the dessert.
"They can be trusted to a point Logan and if any of them try anything on the journey back to Roswell I'll kill them," Jim said.
"Jim you can't kill them," Logan said
Indicating at the open landscape around him Jim said; "Logan this is the middle of no where if three people suddenly went missing no one would miss them. Hell the animals would get to there bodies, or the locals would finish them of," Jim said.
"Just be careful Jim," Logan said
"Logan Zack will be fine," Jim said with a smile.
While Logan and Jim had been talking Max and Isabel helped Michael to his feet and got into the jeep. As soon as they were in the jeep Jim continued the journey back to Roswell.
"Jim why do you hate these people," Zack asked pointing towards max, Michael and Isabel.
"Hate is such a strong word. I dislike them for what they did to the world Zack." Jim said
"Jim what has happened to make you so cold towards us," Isabel asked
"The pulse, what you all did to Roswell by leaving and life in general Isabel. In case you three haven't noticed the world has changed a lot in twelve years you have been gone," Jim said
"What is the pulse," max asked
"When we get back to Roswell I'll explain what the pulse is and how you caused the world to end up in the shitty state that it is in at the moment. Then after I have explained the pulse I'll tell you what you all did to Roswell when you left" Jim said
