A few minutes later they were at the site of the downed Timeshadow.

"Power down!" They said in unison.

The Timeshadow had been sent into a tailspin when it hit Steelix. It sat upside down in a field across from the clock tower.

"We've got to get in there." Wes said pulling at the main hatch.

"There's an escape hatch farther down." Alex called running towards the back of the Timeshadow.

Alex jerked the hatch open and dove into the Timeshadow with Wes and Eric at his heels.

When they reached the cockpit they found Jen and Andrew on the floor.

"Jen!" Wes cried running to her and lifting her into his arms. "We've got to get them out of here."

A few hours later back at the mansion…….

Eric's communicator went off. "Meyers." He answered.

"Sir we were able to get the Timeshadow to Nasada with the help of Andros and the space rangers."

"Good, when do they expect the repairs to be done?"

"By the end of the week."

"Thank you I'll let officer Drake know."

A few minutes later……….

Jen stirred in the bed and opened her eyes to see Wes smiling down at her.

"We've got to stop meeting like this." Wes teased.

"You made it." She said putting her hand up to touch his face.

"Thanks to you."

Jen shook her head, "I was just trying to stop Andrew. I thought he was trying to escape but he was saving your life." Jen closed her eyes.

"Jen, I love you."

"I love you too Wes." She murmured drifting back to sleep.

Wes remained at her side holding her hand.

At the same moment in another part of the mansion…..

"Stupid Stupid Stupid!" Alex bellowed. "First you break confinement, then you commandeer the Timeshadow!"

"Sir," Andrew interjected.

"Then you proceed to crash Time Force property!" Alex continued intensely.

Alex became very quiet and walked toward the window of Mr. Collins' office.

Andrew stood at attention his whole body trembling.

Alex turned around and looked at Andrew gravely. "There's only one thing I can do."

"I am ready to take whatever punishment you feel is necessary sir." Andrew said his voice wavering.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes sir."

"Then I have no choice but to give you a commendation and a red star for valor in battle."

Andrew looked shocked.

"What else can I do?" Alex continued. "You need more time in the flight simulator but with more practice you'll be a pretty decent pilot."

"Thank you sir!"

"Dismissed. Now go see how your sister is."

"Thank-you sir." Andrew said snapping to attention and saluting.
