Chapter 3

Thank you for the reviews so far. I had no idea that people have been reading my story. Thanks. I'm sorry but this is only a short chapter.

I would also like to note that I had written this story 5 years ago long before Enterprise. It has just been that I thought no one would read it. I thought that I'd point that out. Enjoy.

"Tell Me," asked Sam while they walked down the corridor. "What is the world like today?"

"It's not a place that you'd like to walk through during the day." Replied Janna. "Things are getting worse with each passing moment. I would say that within a year..." Janna paused. "We're here."

Janna reached inside her pocket and produced a key card. She then slid it through the scanner. The door slid open.

The room Sam and Janna entered seemed to be a 20th century office. The office had a large boardroom type table. At the far end of the table sat Simon Thomas, an elderly man and a young woman with dark brown, short cropped hair.

"Thank for joining us Dr. Beckett." smiled Dr.Thomas. "Miss Nestor, I would like you to also join us."

Sam sat down. Janna nodded and sat next to Sam at the opposite side of the large table.

"Before we start Dr. Thomas. I would like to say a few words to our guest." Said the young woman with short hair.

Dr. Thomas nodded. "I understand."

The young woman stood up and walked over to Sam. "I've missed you Dr. Beckett." The woman sat on Sam's knee.

"I...am...sorry." Stumbled Sam. "But I don't remember you."

"Well, I have had a hair cut since you left!" laughed the woman.

Janna began to giggle. "Sorry."

The young woman smiled at Janna. "I see you've met my best friend. I would never have thought that I'd have a human as my best friend." She then began to study Sam. "You don't look as cute as you once did. You've got old. You look like the weight of the world has finally caught up with you."

Janna shook her head. "I'm sorry Sam. She's a bit upset about losing at cards yesterday night."

"Losing!" cried the woman. "You cheated!"

"It's not my fault that you can't see through my poker face!" Janna laughed.

"What's going on!?!" cried Sam.

Janna stopped laughing. "I'm sorry Dr. Beckett, Dr. Thomas."

Janna looked over to the young woman. "Look lets just cut the crap and tell him who you are."

The young woman took hold of Sam's hand.

"It's me father. Ziggy."
