"Wes as soon as you're able we need your help." Alex said.

"I understand I know we don't have very much time."

Another figure caught Wes' attention coming out of Jen's room.

"Jen!" He whispered standing up quickly.

"It's all right. This is Andrew Scotts, Jen's brother." He said indicating the young man walking over to where they were standing.

"I didn't know she had a brother."

"It's a long story for another day." Alex answered "We need to get back to base camp."

"Is there anything you need?" Wes offered.

"No, we have enough provisions for the next few months. We can't carry out the mission until you and Jen are both back on your feet."

"What about Eric?"

"He needs rest just as much as you and Jen."

Wes looked at Alex with confusion.

"He was injured pulling you and Jen out of the wreck. He had a concussion and he needs time to heal as well."

"I never knew." Wes said quietly.

"He hides things well especially when it comes to his friends."

"I guess he does." Wes said leaning up against the wall.

"Are you all right Wes?" Alex asked.

"Yes, goodnight Alex."

"Goodnight Wes."

After they left instead of going to his own room Wes went in to check on Jen. She was sitting alone in the darkness with her head on her knees. He sat down beside her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Jen are you okay?" He asked tenderly.

"Yes," She sniffed. "My brother was here."

"Alex said he was." Wes said climbing up on the bed and pulling her into his arms.

She sobbed softly into his shoulder.

"Shhh…" Wes soothed stroking her hair.

"It just reminds me that when we catch this mutant, I have to go back." She choked. "Wes, I can't leave you again."

"I know but Jen this is my time and no matter what, I'm always going to love you. Even if our love has to span a thousand years." He said turning her so he could look into her beautiful eyes. "For now we just need to cherish what time we have together."

"No matter how short it is."

"Jen what do you mean?"

"Wes, we have to get that mutant before he destroys Time Force."

"I know."

"Wes, I'm pretty sure I know who it is!"

"Jen, who?"

"Dr. Sorenson."

"Sorenson?" Wes said surprised. "He's a manipulative, deceitful.."

"Wes, listen to me. When he was in my room I saw his eyes they flashed blue!"

"I don't understand."

"The same thing happened when Katie was attacking me just before she threw me into the wall."

"It has to be Sorenson. It would explain a lot." Wes agreed.

"Wes, this mission is even we imagined. We're not doing this for the future or for Time Force. We're doing it for Katie, Trip, and Lucas."

"You're right Jen. We'll get started in the morning. But right now it's time to sleep."

Alex jumped down from his perch on Jen's veranda. He got his balance, stood up, and smiled. Then he looked up at the window and watched the light go out.

"Way to go Jen. I thought you'd given up."
