Regular Time – Outside Of Collinwood

Blade and Whistler made their way through the snow to reach Collinwood. They brushed the snow off of their boots, and knocked on the door. The door was opened by Mrs. Johnson, and asked who and why they were here.

"I'm looking for Brian Collins. I heard he was here, and is now missing." Blade said to her while looking over the foyer as he and Maverick stepped inside.

"He and his girlfriend Susie have been missing since the snowstorm hit here earlier this week. No one has seen them since." She told them.

"We're here to find them, and hopefully bring them home." Whistler informed her.

Quentin came down the stairs, and saw the two strangers, and overheard what they had said.

"I can show you where they had gone." Quentin told them.

Blade saw Quentin, and knew immediately what he was! But he figured that if Brian didn't do anything to him, then he won't either.

"Show us where this happened." Blade demanded, knowing that his friend was in trouble.

"Follow me." Quentin told them.

Quentin led the two strangers then learned were friends of Brian's, and were glad that he had such friends as these two! Granted he had Barnabas as a friend back in 1897 after he was cursed, and not before, maybe he would have had more if Carl hadn't opened his big mouth to Trask, he could have been an ally as well!

Each of them explained how and why they knew Brian. They traded stories until they reached the room in the East Wing that took Brian and Susie into parallel time. Blade told Quentin that to not let anyone else in the room. Quentin agreed to that, and watched the two men step inside. Five minutes later, the room changed, and both Blade and Whistler were in another time band!

Parallel Time – East Wing

"Looks like that Quentin guy was right about this room Blade." Whistler said before smiling at his surrogate son.

"Yeah, it seems so. Now let's see about finding both Brian and his girlfriend Susie." Blade said matter-n-factly.

As they made their way through the house, they had managed to not to be seen by anyone until they reached the door that led to the foyer. They slowly opened the door, and looked through to see another version of Brian with a girl that they did not know. Blade heard her mutter a few things in Spanish, and smiled knowing what she had said to Roger! They decided to make themselves known by going down the stairs.

"You're right about this is Brian Collins from New York City, just like the other Brian Collins and his girlfriend Susie are from are from there as well." Blade told everyone there!

'What's the meaning of this?! And how did you two thugs get in here without anyone knowing about it?!" Roger demanded!

Sandra looked at both Blade and Whistler, and knew there was something different about them, but could not put her finger on it! She whispered to Brian about this, and noted the same thing as well!

"Look grandpa, we're here to find our friends, and return them home with us. Everyone is in danger if we don't get them back home immediately!" Blade said to Roger while getting into Roger's face!

Roger backed up a bit not knowing who these two ruffians were, and why they were here! But if they were going to help solve this, then so be it! Everyone turned to see the front door open to see Susie there now! She saw Brian standing there, and was about to go near him, but then realized this wasn't her Brian! She saw the girl standing next to him, and knew they were a couple! It sadden her heart not knowing where her love was, but she saw both two men that she knew would help her find Brian!

"Roger, these two men will help me find my Brian, and hopefully we can return to our home now." Susie told him.

Roger mumbled something that is was about time that something would happen to clear this up. Susie led both men out of Collinwood, and to the Old House. Hopefully with Maverick, the two men, Barnabas and Julia, along with herself, they will find Brian, and return home where they belonged!
