Followed

Jen walked into Time Force with a smile on her face. Alan Eric Collins was five months old, and as cute as ever. He kicked in the carrier and giggled. Jen was going to give Wes a surprise visit at work, not to mention everyone wanted to see the new Collins baby.

"Lieutenant Collins!" Jen saw an officer greet her. For a second she forgot she was now Collins, not Scotts. After being married to Wes for nearly a year she wasn't quite used to being called Collins, but she didn't mind. Jen smiled as she walked into the elevator and called out the level.

"Level 26" She watched Alan as the elevator moved. He giggled at the slight bounce, and again as the elevator stopped. Jen smiled as she walked out and headed toward her office.

"Jen!" Alli and Jamie came running forward, happy to see her. "Jen, it's good to see you!" Alli said.

"Is this him?" Jamie asked. "Oh my gosh! He's adorable!" She made baby noises as Alan laughed. Jen unstrapped him and held him up.

"Alan, this is your Aunt Jamie and Aunt Alli." The baby giggled. Kyle and Davis walked over.

"Hey Jen. Is this him?" Davis looked at him with a smile. "He's the spitting image of Wes."

"Speaking of which, he's in, isn't he?" Jen asked as she shifted Alan in her arms.

"Yup, in his office." Kyle said. After saying good-bye, Jen walked down to the office. She opened the door to see Wes doing paperwork.

Alan giggled as he saw Wes sitting on the chair. Wes looked up to see Jen and Alan standing in the doorway.

"Jen! What are you doing here?" Wes asked. He got up and kissed her.

"I needed to get out of the house, "She paused and Alan reached for Wes. "And someone else was a bit antsy."

"Hey there, kiddo!" Wes took his son. "Hi Alan! Who's daddy's little boy?" He watched the baby laugh and kick happily." Just then a frantic officer came running in.

"Lieutenant Collins, sir! Something's happened!" Wes looked at him and held his son in his arms.

"What do you mean?" Wes asked.

"Your house...someone broke into it, and trashed the baby's room." He was out of breath. "They…left a note."

Jen took the note and read it.

I'll have my revenge. Your son will be timeless.

Jen looked at it and was speechless, and fell into her chair.

Wes turned to the officer. "Get forensics in and search it. Find whatever you can." Wes said.

The officer left abruptly. Wes looked at Jen who let the note fall to the floor. "I was there not five minutes ago." Her voice was small. Tears were in her eyes, and she looked at her son. His eyes were big and he reached for her. She took him and gently pressed her cheek to his head.

"Jen. I'd like it if you stayed here for the rest of the day." Wes said. She just nodded and held her son securely. Wes walked over to the window and looked out. "Who would do such a thing?" He asked himself. He let out a sigh. He thought of his son, not even six months, and there was all ready a death threat sent.

For the rest of the day, the family was given a room in Time Force. Wes had gotten some stuff from the house and they settled in.

He could tell Jen was worried. Ever since they were told of what happened, Jen had hardly put Alan down. Wes tried to think of someway to get his son out of an immediate threat. 'There's no way he can stay here. Someone's out to get him, and possibly us.' Then it dawned on him. 'What if we stayed with my dad, until this whole thing was figured out? Alan would be out of any immediate danger, and Jen wouldn't worry as much.' Wes couldn't wait for tomorrow to ask Rob. He grabbed his leather jacket and went to Rob's house.

Wes rolled up to a small ranch, and saw a few lights on. 'Let's hope he's still up.' Wes got off his motorcycle and went up to the door, then knocked.

After a few minutes, Rob opened the door. "Wes? Do you have any idea what time it is?"

Wes didn't answer. "What are the possibilities that we would go and stay with my dad, until we can catch this guy?"

Rob looked at him. "You mean bring Jen and Alan back to 2004?"

"Yes. Until we can eliminate any immediate threat, and find out who trashed our house." He said.

He was silent for a minute, and then grabbed his jacket. "That's possible. We need to run it by the scanners, but I think it's very possible." They walked out and went to HQ.

The next morning

Jen awoke the next morning to find Wes's side of the bed empty. He then walked in. "Good. You're awake. Get packed up, Jen. We're going on a trip." He said.

"Huh?" Jen was confused.

"I figured out a way to take both you and Alan out of immediate danger from this guy. Rob said that we can go live with my dad in 2004, until we find out who trashed our house, and sent that letter." He said. "I've got Alan's stuff packed. All you need to do is pack. The sooner you do that, the sooner you'll be out of danger."

Jen didn't waste time. In two hours, they were found at a launch pad.

"If anything comes up, you two will be the first to know." Rob said.

"Thanks for doing this, Rob." Wes said. He shook his hand. "I know Jen really appreciates it."

"I know. You take good care of her and your son. There's no doubt in my mind you won't." he smiled. With another handshake, Wes walked into the time ship to see Jen strapping in the baby.

"Ready?" Wes asked.

Jen smiled at him, then kissed him. "I'm just happy we'll have some down time, to think about this." She paused. "Thanks Wes, for doing this. I just hope we aren't barging in on your dad." She smiled.

"He won't mind. Besides, he gets to see his grandson." Wes said. They sat down and prepared for launch.

The computers hummed to life, and the engine roared. "Launch in three…two…one…" The ship blasted forward and into the portal.

Silver Hills, 2004

It was a Wednesday evening, and Alan Collins was found sitting in his home with two clients in his office.

"I am happy to say that Bio-Lab will be getting back to you on that merger." He said. The clients stood up and left.

"Master Collins, there are people here to see you." Philips said.

"Tell them I'm busy, and to schedule an appointment." Alan said.

"Oh, dad! You don't want to see me?" Wes walked in. "I can leave now, if you want."

"Wes!" Alan stood up and smiled. "Son, what are you doing here?"

"Long story, actually." We hugged him.

"Where's Jen?" Alan asked. His daughter-in-law was nowhere to be seen.

"Right here." Jen walked in, smiling as she held her son. Alan looked at the bundle in her arms. His eyes widened. "Hi, Alan. It's good to see you." Jen smiled widely. Wes stood beside her.

"Dad, there's someone I would like you to meet." Wes said.

Jen turned baby Alan around to see his grandfather. "Alan, this is your grandfather, the one you were named after." Wes's dad smiled. "Dad, this is Alan Eric, your grandson." Jen said.

The baby giggled as Alan held him. "My grandson." He smiled. "How old is he?"

"Going on six months." Wes said.

Alan held the baby close and the baby giggled. "He's adorable. He looks a lot like you, Wes. The hair and the eyes. The smile is all Jen, though." The baby giggled and put his grandfather's finger in his mouth and began sucking. "Looks like someone's hungry." Alan said. He handed the baby back to Jen.

"We'll be back in a bit." Jen left and went to feed Alan. Wes watched her go to their room and shut the door. He smiled to himself and wondered how he deserved such a loving wife, and an adorable son.

"So, Wes. Tell me why you're here." Alan sat down in his chair. He saw Wes's face tense. "Wes, is everything all right?"

Wes sat down slowly, and took a breath. "Our house in the future, was broken into, and the baby's room was trashed. They left a note saying that they will have revenge, and the baby will be timeless, whatever that meant. Jen was upset. She said that it happened not five minutes after she left." Wes said. Alan was stunned. "So I decided to leave, until this guy was caught, or we figured out who did it. I'm hoping that this took Alan out of immediate danger. Jen seemed to be content."

"Oh my gosh. I'm glad you came here, Wes. I can promise that your son will be in good hands." Alan said. "By the way, Eric could use some help over at SG HQ. I'm sure you could help out, while you're here."

Wes smiled. "I'd be happy to." He paused. "So how is Eric anyway?"

"Fine. He's engaged, to his girlfriend, Taylor." This brought a smile to Wes's face.

"So he finally sucked it up. Tell Eric I'll be there tomorrow." Wes paused, and saw himself in the mirror, still dressed in his Time Force uniform. "I hope he won't mind the uniform." He laughed.

Philips walked into the office. "Excuse me, Master Alan. Dinner is now served." He said.

"Thank you, Philips. We will be there in a minute." Alan said. Philips nodded and walked out.

"I'll go get Jen." Wes got up and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Jen said. He saw her pull her arm through a sleeve, and then saw Alan asleep on the bed.

"Dinner's ready, Jen." Wes said. The baby moved and gave a small sigh. "They're cute when they're asleep." Wes smiled.

"Then you can get up with them during the night." Jen teased. She picked him up and put him in the crib. Jen turned on the radio so she could hear if he woke up. Satisfied, she took Wes's hand and they went down to dinner.

The next day

Jen awoke to hear Wes shuffling around the room. He was up early, and had his Time Force uniform on. "Where are you going?" Jen asked.

"I'm going to see what's up at Silver Guardian HQ. Dad said Eric could use some help." Wes said. "I'll be home around lunch." He kissed her good-bye and left.

Jen watched him close the door. She was just about to go back to sleep when Alan started crying. "All right, all right. I'm up. You want to eat, I know." She got up and began feeding him.

Silver Guardian Headquarters

Wes walked into HQ, and earned a stare from the officers. A few recognized him.

"Commander Collins!" they greeted him. Some recognized the uniform, and sent smiles his way.

He walked up to the receptionist. "Can you tell me where to find Eric Myers?" She said he was training, and pointed him toward the field. Wes thanked her and walked out toward the field.

As he neared it, he heard Eric call out.

"Fall into line! Now, I want…" Eric began.

"Everyone to take the rest of the day off, and begin training tomorrow morning, same time." Wes called over him. Eric turned around and saw Wes walking up.

"You heard Commander Collins, get a move on!" He called. The recruits fell out of line. Eric walked up to him. "Hey Wes! What are you going here?" Eric asked.

Wes laughed. "Long story. I heard you got engaged to Taylor! It's about time!" Wes said.

"Very funny. Come on, we'll go back to my office." Eric said, and the two walked off.

Eric's office

Wes and Eric walked into Eric's office, and Wes sat down. "So, Wes. What brings you all the way back here?" Eric asked.

"It's more for safety, then a trip." He said. Eric sat down behind his desk.

"Why is that?" Eric asked.

Wes smiled. "Because Alan Eric Collins came into my life." Wes paused and took a picture out of his wallet and showed Eric. What he saw were Jen and Wes, and Jen was holding a baby in her arms. He had light brown hair with hints of blonde, and wide blue-brown eyes.

"Wes, congratulations. I didn't know Jen had a baby. How old his he?" Eric asked.

"Going on six months." Wes said.

"He's cute, Wes. So why are you here?" Eric said.

Wes took a deep sigh. "Our home, in the year 3003 was broken into by someone. They totaled the baby's room, and left a threat. It said this person will have their revenge and the baby will be timeless. Jen was upset, so I took her here to relax so we can figure this out." Wes said. "For now, I'm here helping you, because my dad said you needed it."

"I'm managing just fine!" Eric protested. Wes smiled.

Meanwhile

Jen pushed the stroller through the store, looking for a new outfit to wear. So she didn't look to conspicuous, she took her Time Force jacket off, and lay it in the basket underneath the stroller, which helped conceal her blaster and belt. Jen did, however, keep on her black T-shirt and the pants. She also looked for some clothes for Alan, because he was beginning to outgrow the ones they grabbed. Jen found a t-shirt for herself and turned to her son.

"Alan, honey, what do you think?" Jen asked. The baby made a face, as if telling her 'I don't think so.' She grabbed another one, better looking and put it up to her chest. The baby giggled and clapped his hands.

Jen smiled. "You have a better sense of looks then your dad." She paid for the clothes and left.

While walking to the car, she saw something that scared her. A mutant was walking down the street his identity covered by a dark cloak, firing away. He called to her.

"Lieutenant Collins!" Jen knew this voice all too well. Alan looked at the monster and began crying hysterically.

"Shh, it's ok, Alan. Everything's going to be fine." She held him tightly in her arms. The creature laughed again.

"It's just wasting your time, Jen. Let him cry. He'll watch his mother die!" the mutant laughed again and fired at the two. Jen dived for the stroller, keeping Alan out of harms way.

"Not today!" Jen grabbed her blaster and fired single handedly at the mutant. His cloak came off. What stood in front of her struck horror into Jen's heart.

There was a creature, all gray, with a 31st century rifle in hand.

Jen looked at him, fear shown in her eyes. Only one word came out of her mouth.

"Steelix."
