Hey Fam,

Sorry for the huge gap in between downloads but school stole most of my time so I was having a hard time deciding how I wanted to continue on with the story. I had a few ideas in mind on how I thought the story should go after such a cliffhanger and was having a hard time deciding which path I wanted too take. This is the one that I chose... I hope that you all enjoy it!

One moment Beth was watching Paul order his men to throw Jack into the back of a Monarch van so that he could bring Jack back to headquarters for questioning, and in the next... everything stopped. Jack was no longer being tossed into the van but rather held still by two Monarch solders...which were also not moving. Or breathing. Or blinking. its like they are frozen in time. Then things got even weirder. Paul was frozen too. Mid-order. Not moving an inch, frozen in time. The Monarch helicopter which was first hovering midair, blades chopping through the air to keep it up was now still in quiet above them.

Beth had no idea how any of this was possible. She began looking back from Jack being tossed into the van, Paul frozen in the middle of barking orders and the chopper, silent above her. Jack, Paul, Chopper. Jack. Paul. Chopper.

Then Beth noticed a hand in hers and turned around only to face... Jack?

She ripped her had from his, took two steps back and drew her sidearm. "What the hell is going on here?" Beth demanded.

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Beth just calm down. There is no need to be pointing that thing at me." Jack said while raising his hands so that she could see that he was not here to cause her any harm.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN!? I'm not going to calm down!" Beth yells at Jack holding her gun level with his chest. "There is two of you, everything in the world is frozen right now except us and..." Beth shakes her head. "How is any of this possible?"

"Look, we don't have a lot of time. Things will not stay frozen for long, soon everything will begin again just as quickly as it stopped and I don't know how much time we have left until that happens. So lower your gun so that we can unfreeze Will and get the hell out of here before time starts again." We don't have time for this Jack thought, the time fracture isn't going to last much longer, they have to put as much distance between them and the university as they can before time starts again. Wills car was just in the parking lot next to them waiting for them to make their getaway. But Beth was in no rush.

"I'm not going anywhere with you until you can tell me how this is all possible. Why are we in such a rush? How are we supposed to unfreeze Will if time is frozen and we don't know why Well at least I don't know why because you will not tell me anything. Its very simple just tell me what is going on and we can go right on our way to wherever it is that we need to go so quickly." She was tired of this, what was with all the urgency? Beth couldn't wrap her head around any of this.

"Fine here is the quick...and I mean quick story. Time is fucked up, and me, Will and Paul caused it with a time machine that the two of them had built. It worked but things went bad, really bad. So I had to come back in time, save my brother who had actually died so that I could get the one piece from him that would fix this mess. We were making a run for it when time stopped and I finally had time to think. I had lost two people who I care most about in this world and now they were both standing in front of me...alive. So I decided to save both that way we could all fix this and move on, together."

Pieces started to come together in Beth's mind as she listened to Jack fumble the words from his mouth at such a speed that at times she wasn't sure she heard him right. When he was finished, Beth felt something change within her. It was almost like a switch had been flipped in her mind as memories began flying through her at top speed. She began to remember everything. She remembered releasing Jack from his holding cell and giving him information to help him find the second time machine. She remembers working with Jack to kidnap Dr. Sofia Amaral, being sent to the end of time and all the pain and shitty memories that came with it, going back in time to 1999 to get Will to create the CFR that would be able to fix all this and then waiting for Jacks return in 2010. She remembers her death and her time before her death.

Slowly Beth lowers her gun and returns it to her holster. She looks at Jack who is looking wordlessly at her. He could see it in her eyes that she remembered everything and he rushed over to her and puller her into his arms. Beth let him hold her for only a minute as she allowed one tear to slip from her eye and wiped it away before he could see. She pulled away from him "Lets go get Will and get the hell out of here. Before Paul comes realizes whats going on and puts a bullet into all of us."

"I could not agree more." Jack said as he turned and dashed back up the stairs to were Will was still frozen, mid-stride. He reached out his had to grab Wills arm and unfreeze him, but his hand went right through his brother, as though he was not even there. Jack stood there wide eyed and tried again and again. But his had just kept going though Wills arms. legs. torso, head. Jack couldn't unfreeze him. Then Beth tried, but she too just went though Wills body. "What the actual hell?" Beth asked.
