It's easy enough to time travel. All you have to do is find something from that persons time. Which isn't all that difficult given the fact that we're still in Kayla's. This time around things were slightly different though. First we needed to get the bargaining tool.

"Jesse, where did Father D hide the amulet?" I asked. He regarded me warily for a moment; obviously trying to think up an argument why I shouldn't go. He must have come up blank as he let out a long sigh.

"It's at The Mission. He didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands."

I nodded feeling a tremor go through my body. If I wasn't so worried about Father D then I would have blamed him instead. He'd hidden it. He'd not given it to the guy. He didn't…………

"You can't give it to them Susannah." Jesse whispered. I leant against the wall and closed my eyes.

"I have to Jesse. I have no choice. If I give it to him then it won't only stop Kayla getting killed. It'll stop Father D getting hurt as well." I replied in a low growl. He didn't look threatened by my determined do-mina though. That's the problem with the whole situation. He's willing to go through everything with me. Which is all well and good before he gets re-murdered.

"No. If you give it to this man he will destroy much more. He has power Susannah. Dark power. But we can beat him." he said it in this grudging way that immediately caught my attention.

"What are you suggesting?" I asked coolly. He remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"We bring with us another mediator. A strong one."

I raised my brows in disapproval. I didn't like the idea of involving other people. It'd just make me feel worse if it went wrong. It was bad enough that Jesse was coming.

"I hate to break it to Jesse, but Father D isn't exactly up to zipping through time." I informed him patiently. Jesse just shook his head, but when he looked up he had fire in his eyes. He did not look a happy bunny.

"I do not mean Father Dominic Susannah. I am talking about Slater."

I felt my breath back up in my throat at the very thought of him coming. He'd only make stuff difficult and Jesse knew it.

"He is more experienced in the ways of travelling through time. He has done more research. It will be safer to bring him than to not bring him." he continued softly.

"Paul?" I echoed, still trying to take it in. I hadn't seen him in years. Not since we left school. I wouldn't even know where to begin contacting him.

Jesse must have read some of what I was thinking through my expression.

"I have already called him requesting his help. He will be here later today."

I nodded feeling even more confused than before. It was easier to accept it than to argue. Besides Jesse was right. Paul did know more about time travelling than I did. But I couldn't help wondering what was in it for him. Paul rarely did things without a reason.

"Fine. But any funny business and he's out." I informed Jesse firmly. He raised one inky black eyebrow amusedly.

"I think you'll find that I've already informed him of that fact." He smiled. I rolled my eyes at him.

"Please don't tell me that you threatened him into coming." I laughed, half seriously.

"I did consider it, but in the end it didn't matter. He was willing to come as soon as I explained the situation." He seemed rather surprised by it himself.

"And he wasn't acting like an arrogant pig-head?" I inquired with a small smile.

"This is Slater we are talking about." He replied simply. I grinned.

So it was decided. We were going to take our chances. No bargaining. Straight up fighting. Just the way I like it.

"So it's settled. We'll leave as soon as Paul gets-"

But I was cut off as the door bell rang.
