Lt. Becker found Trina outside of Connor's room. She looked a little upset as she was discussing something with Connor's nurse. She stopped talking when she saw him and dismissed the nurse. "Where have you been, we have a problem with Connor?"

"What kind of problem? I was just taking care of our other guests like you ordered".

"Connor became very agitated when we told him he couldn't see his friends. He was making such a fuss that I had him sedated. I don't think we are going to be able to keep this up for much longer. I have decided to have him moved. If Danny and Abby were to find him they could make their way back to the past and there is no telling what that would do for us".

The lieutenant was still confused and wanted to know exactly why they could not return to the past. "What could possibly happen if they go back to where they came from?"

She looked at him like he was the dumbest person alive, "Are you daft or something, if they go back to the past everything that we know to be true will cease to exist".

He ignored the first part of her comment, "we don't know that. For all we know none of this may exist if they don't go back".

"Our history does not have a part where they came back; therefore we know our present day can only exist if they never return". She was frustrated at the lieutenant and hoped he finally understood what she was saying.

He took his time processing the information Trina had given him. When the truth of it finally dawned on him his eyes grew wide, "OHHHH…, we can't have them ever go back, can we".

"Exactly, so will you please help me get rid of Conner then"?

Lt. Becker looked shocked at what he was being asked to do, "I don't want to be a party to murder. Why does he have to die"?

For the second time in the last 5 minutes, Trina looked at him like he was the dumbest person, "I'm not asking you to kill him; I just need you to move him somewhere else".

The lieutenant looked relieved until he thought about Danny and Abby, "where does that leave the other two then"?

"I don't really care what happens to them, but I figured there is no risk of them going back without their friend, so we need to keep them apart".

"But what if they do get together, then what"? He stood there trying to read her face; waiting for her to reply.

It took her a moment to answer his question. "We can deal with that later, but please just do as I ask".
