Hey! Sorry, I'm really trying to update, but things always get in the way! Well, lets just get on with it!
Chapter 5"That's amazing!" Bobby shouted. He was already up and was talking to Aja. "How does it work?" "That would take days to explain," she answered.
"Hey, that was so cool! Can we go back in?" I asked hopefully as the table slid out. Aja turned and said to me "Just the point that I wanted to make,".
Before I could say anything an alarm blared. "Oh no," Aja exclaimed and ran out of the room. "Stay here, Jacqui," Bobby told me. "Just because you're the lead traveler doesn't mean that I have to listen to you," I matched his stare and followed him out the door. We finally reached the room that we had seen Aja go in and came to a sight that had a vedder standing over a big control panel. Aja joined him and started pushing buttons. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it didn't sound good. Suddenly a man popped out of a plate in the wall. They went up to him when I heard Aja say, "It's too late,"
"Huh? What's too late?" Bobby asked. "What do you think?" Aja answered coldly. "He isn't dead is he?" I stated. She just nodded her head. "But I thought you said that this thing was safe?" Bobby inquired. "Well sometimes things don't workout. And it's been happening more often too," she said solemnly.
"Hey!" I said to the departing vedder. "Shouldn't you fill out a report or something?" "No," he said defensively, "My shift is over. I'm jumping. The next shift can take care of it,". "Excuse me? This innocent man just died and all you have to say is 'so long'?" I said before thinking, "You get your greedy butt back here and take care of this scene!" I stalked up to him backing him into a corner. He was smaller than me and probably younger. They let anyone work here, don't they? "Aja, your friend is scaring me," he whimpered. "Jacqui, it's the truth, his shift is over, relieving him of all his duties." Aja said back.
"Fine," I said and stepped aside, allowing him to reach the door. He took one final look at me. I met his gaze and jumped forward, causing him to run away. "Unbelievable," I muttered.
"Bobby? Would you both go to the room next door while I take care of this?" Aja asked. "Sure," he answered and started to walk out the door. "Do you need any help?" I offered. "Thanks, but no," she replied. "OK. Thanks for ending all of your normal remarks and jokes. It's much easier," I thanked her. "I'm trying, but it's hard with someone like you around," she said and smiled. "Well, almost all of them," I said and returned her smile.
"Oh, would you mind giving this to Pendragon,"
"Sure," I said and took it to him in the neighboring room. Aja said that it was a recording device. "Here, Bobby! Aja said that you would need this,"
