A/N: Alright people I know an update finally! I am so sorry about the long wait but there was school and all. So here it is and don't hate me too much

Phil stayed quiet knowing that Victor would continue without prodding. "We were on a recon mission. We didn't know whom we were rescuing. All we knew was that they were heavily guarded and that our Wizards would beep when we found them. The mission had been programmed and password locked into our Wizards. There were three of us. We snuck into the fortress behind the guards by making ourselves invisible. Since being forced into hiding we had created our own gadgets and our invisibility field was more advanced then what the guards knew to see through. Or a least that's what we were told. We got into the center room without any trouble at all. None of the guards gave us a second glance, no close calls, nothing. I probably should have been suspicious but I had been on three missions in the past two days and wasn't at my best. We were passing a locked room when the Wizard started beeping. We disabled the alarm and broke the door down. There was one figure lying in a heap in the middle of the room. As we got closer we saw that her clothes were soaked in blood. She had strong handcuffs that attached her arms together. Her left leg was attached to the back wall with a chain. I'm sure you can guess it was Pim.

I ran over to her and immediately started trying to tear the chains apart with my bare hands. I also almost immediately realized that this wasn't going to work and I brought out my Slicer and cut the chains. My companions were standing guard at the entrances. I picked her up and held her in my arms. She looked so small and fragile. I guessed that her captors had been starving her. I was nineteen at the time and she was sixteen. I hadn't seen her or any of my family since we were captured. I carried her out the entrance slowly. I was in no rush because I didn't want to wake her. She woke up anyways and looked at me. Her eyes looked so much older then she was. As if they had seen much suffering and pain. I looked into those eyes trying to find the Pim from all those years ago.

The face looking at me smiled and said, "You're still looking out for me."

"That's what big brothers do."

"Couldn't you have come here sooner? I've been waiting for what seems like forever and that floor was starting to get cold." I smiled there was the Pim I remembered. We had just reached the exit of the fortress when suddenly guards popped down out of nowhere surrounding Pim and me and blocking us off from my team. Then the leader stepped forward. It was Curtis. He pulled out a communicator and a face appeared before us. It was Keely.

"We've captured them your highness," said Curtis, "Your trap worked as expected."

"Excellent. You have served me well Curtis. As a final act of your loyalty I want you to shoot the girl. Make sure that He is watching." The screen winked out. I couldn't believe what she had just asked Curtis to do. And I couldn't believe that he actually carried through it. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at her heart. I started to reach out to kick him or anything but the other soldiers took Pim from me and held me back. I was strong but not strong enough to break free from the grip of the ten men holding me.

I yelled out to Pim. I told her I loved her. I pleaded with Curtis but he didn't budge. I didn't tear my eyes away as the bang of the gun going off filled the forest. I didn't hear the last words Pim said. The shot was too loud. My companions finally reached me and I was freed. I ran to try to get her body but the members of my group held me back. Tried to talk some sense into me. I didn't want to listen. I struggled. They finally knocked me out. When I awoke I was in a white bed. I never found out what happened to her. I'm not sure I want to know."

With Victor's story done Phil awkwardly put an arm around his shoulders. Victor brushed it off, "It's in the past now. Or future I guess. We need to focus on getting that piece to the time machine." Phil nodded and they stood up. "I think if my memory serves correctly Lloyd was spending some time at the Holiday Inn, in town. He had won a free week to stay there. That's probably where we should check first."

"That's all the way on the other side of town!"

"Well I think we could take the bus."

"The bus takes so long though."

"It's either the bus or we start walking now."

"Bus it is but what about my family? I can't just disappear. Hold on a second. I'll tell Pim I'm going out. Pim come down here!" Pim came down severely annoyed at having been disturbed.

"What do you want! I'm extremely busy!" Pim was giving Phil the death stare.

"I'm going to take Victor here to see the town so he can get familiar with it. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone. Just tell Mom and Dad ok?"

Pim sighed and shrugged. "I might, or I might not. What's in it for me?"

"Listen I'll do your chores for a week just promise you will tell them."

Pim considered this then said, "Make it a month and you've got yourself a deal."

"Fine," said Phil and they shook on it.

Pim watched them leave. What was Phil up to? She thought about the project she was working on upstairs. Well that could wait whatever Phil was doing seemed more interesting. Pim quickly scribbled a note to Mom and Dad. Then she went upstairs, grabbed her Wizard and followed her targets secretly excited for this new adventure and always eager to catch her brother doing something he's not supposed to.
