„Wait!" Connor darted behind the girl. "What day is it?"
"Did you hit your head when you came through the anomaly?" the girl asked in a giggly tone, but she went on as if she hadn't noticed Connor's expression the moment she mentioned the anomaly. "It's February the 12th 2009. And before you can ask further, it's 6.20am. Why don't you come with me? I live in the house over there. My grandparents aren't at home so we won't bother anyone while we talk."
Connor turned to Abby motioned her over. When she had caught up the girl held out her hand to Abby, "I'm Addie by the way and that's Pepsi!" she pointed to the dog beside her.
"I'm Abby and that's Connor!"
Addie led them to the house. Before they entered, Connor held Abby back, "She mentioned the anomaly as if it were the most normal thing in the world."
"Do you want coffee or tea?" Addie turned around to them.
"Tea would be great," Connor answered while he took Abby's hand and hoped it would help her to relax a little.
He could only imagine how it would be to stand face to face with a person from your dreams. 'Wait I do stand face to face with a person of my dreams every day – Abby. But that might be a bit different for her now.' Connor thought to himself.
When they sat around the kitchen table, Connor started to sort his thoughts aloud, "So we are in Germany and it's the same day. The only difference is that it's an hour later."
"Connor, Germany is an hour ahead of British time!" Abby laughed. "Can I make a call?" She turned to Addie.
"Sure, I'll get you the phone!" Addie left the kitchen.
"Do you have plan Abby?"
"I want to call Becker. If we are in the right world and in the right time, then he should answer his mobile when I call him from here."
Addie returned to the kitchen and handed Abby the phone. While Abby dialed Becker's number, Connor tried to find out more about the German girl.
"Isn't Addie a rather uncommon name in Germany?"
"Yes, but it's just my nickname. It's the short version of Adelaide."
"Becker!" They got interrupted by Abby's voice. Her eyes grew big. "It's Abby, you will never believe where we are. We're in Germany. It's exactly the same day and year. Could you tell Lester that Connor and I are on vacation? There's something I want to find out over here." She turned the speaker phone on, letting Connor listen to Becker as well.
"On vacation? How am I supposed to explain that to Lester?" Abby could hear that Becker was annoyed.
Connor took the phone and said, "Ask Sarah. She's great with excuses!" Without waiting for an answer he hung up the phone. "I can picture his face now just too well."
"Who's Becker?" Addie wanted to know.
"He works with us, and he might be kind of mad now." Connor laughed.
*Back in London*
"On vacation? Tell Lester they are on vacation? He will kill me. They are crazy. He will kill all of us!" Sarah looked in surprise at Becker who was pacing around. She had never ever heard Becker say so many words at once.
"Let me do that. I will think of something." Even though Sarah was totally amused by Becker's outburst, she wanted to calm him down.
"Open up the anomaly. I will get them back! Leave it open until we are back!" Becker called out.
Before Sarah could stop him, he was already on his way. "Great!" Sarah groaned.
*Back in Germany*
"What do you want to find out here?" Addie asked with curiosity.
"Okay, this will sound quite strange to you, but there are a few things I want to find out about you. I..." Abby trailed off as a familiar light in front of the window caught her eye.
"Connor, the anomaly opened up," both of them were up on their feet running out. Addie, to their surprise, followed them calmly.
"What do we do now?" Connor turned to Abby. "We don't have any guns here."
"You two should calm down. It's the same anomaly you went through, so I bet it will be Becker."
Abby and Connor turned to the younger girl stunned. "What do you know about the anomalies?" Connor asked her.
Addie, without answering his question, started counting down, "5-4-3-2-1." Becker appeared, clearly not amused, leaving Abby and Connor looking from him to Addie back and forth.
The moment Becker's eyes focused on Addie he gasped. "Don't tell me this is true!"
