Time Twister, Chapter 3. See Chapter 1 for disclaimers.
Nick Cutter suffered through three weeks of hell. It was not just the strain of knowing that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time (and oh! How that particularly fatuous expression had tormented him!) But that he was alone, totally alone.
Abby and Connor were themselves, no obvious personality changes. But they were wary of him. Cutter could only suppose that his deranged behaviour at the anomaly had them worried. Hell, it had him worried.
And he wasn't proud of the way he had used his young student to further his own ends. The discovery of the interference in the radio frequencies had been pure luck, as far as he was concerned, and Cutter had used that to bind Connor closer to him. Temple was so pathetically eager for recognition, validation, that he would do anything his Professor told him.
So now, Cutter had a portable anomaly detector. He also had a software program that could detect, and map, every anomaly that popped into existence, wherever it might be.
Cutter clutched the device to his chest. This was just the first step to finding Claudia, and Stephen.
