Jamie POV:

The train ride was uneventful mostly just Carter and Calypso flirting and giggling about how different their lives had been and just stupid stuff. Neither of them would come close to admit their crush but I knew.

Although it was a god train ride there was a few times a man dressed in black walked by looking into our room, it was quite suspicious and on the third and last time he checked, Carter looked outside after he had left and he had vanished. It had only been about 10 seconds after he left that Carter Checked so unless he was usain bolt he wouldn't have been able to reach the end of the car in either direction by the time we had checked.

Carter didn't think anything by it but I was suspicious. I had my Hook next to me in stick form ready for any kind of action as well as my watch that I had been getting better at controlling.

I heard the train shreek slowing to a stop. "Buffalo Central Terminal" the intercom spoke above. After getting all our snacks and bags together we walked around searching for the realm unknown, the only problem was that Buffalo is a massive city with over 300,000 people.

We had no clue to where we were supposed to be going. "Anyone know where this place is?" Carter asked abruptly.

"Not a clue" both Calypso and I said.

"Well it's 5:39 we should look for a place to stay and eat." Carter decided.

"Yah I'm starved" Calypso agreed.

Carter POV:

We raced to the closest burger joint and ordered the biggest burgers they had. After a fair bit of small talk we chomped down on our food. I realised that the entire time we had been off the train a small small ticking noise had been around us.

Jamie doesn't think I have the concentration to focus on small things like that but I knew it was some sort of clock counting down, if I could find out where it was I could know what it was and why it was ticking. I looked around the entire shop five times but still nothing.

My watch started tingling and i focused on the different clocks and watches, none of them operated on the same frequency as the strange tick, that's why it stood out to me.

That's when the door opened and a man in a black trench coat and two women in white at his sides walked in the sound increased monumentally, I felt my ears have to adjust to the ticking.

After readjusting to the pain I focused on the timepiece the man in the middle had around his neck.

It was unlike any other watch I had seen before, I gave Jamie the look and as soon as she noticed it she covered her ears.

"Whats wrong?" Calypso asked concerned.

"It's his necklace" Jamie complied.

I tried to understand the eye shaped clock but it must have had some sort of magical charm because I couldn't even tell what kind of gears it had.

The trio sat down at a table across the restaurant from us making it harder for me to understand it.

The after eating i waited to pay for the bill. The ticking had subdued for a while as we ate but the second they noticed we were about to leave they cranked the tick to a very high octave.

Before releasing it my watch expanded out into a shield. That triggered the trio, as the shield now was a calm water almost icy shield.

The ticking began to give me blurry vision, my arm raised and behind the shield I couldn't hear the ticking but I could tell what the timepiece was there was a bomb attached to one side of the eye and a button on the other,

I , being the brave man I am, ran towards the trio expanding my shield to lower the blast radius, if there is an explosion.

My pen came out of my pocket and I pressed on the bottom, my axe sprang to life as i slashed down at the big man, in between his legs. "My name is Carter and you're about to bomb the wrong dinner." i said almost caving.
