Looks like this will be another shortie, I have lots to do! enjoy :) P.s yeah I'm in it... I do that a lot! it's my lil way of helping to motivate myself to write.

~Clive~

I smiled, remembering the day I had met Laura.

"I still have that letter today." I pulled the, now tatty, letter from the pocket inside my blazer.

"Hmm..." The professor nodded. He cleared his throat and read aloud:

Dear Clive,

I am sorry I couldn't talk to you more because I have much to discuss.
You and I both know who was responsible for the deaths of your parents and my mother. Bill Hawks, the prime minister. I know you set up the whole future London scheme in order to get revenge on Bill, but I wanted to tell you something. Force is not the only way to get your revenge, there is a much more respectable route. One you and I may even be applauded for. I personally believe that the country deserves to know of the disgusting crimes their leader, Bill Hawks, is responsible for. There is a way to prove him guilty, and I know there is a way of doing it.
It would appear that all documentations on the explosion ten years ago were erased, but it is not true. There are several pieces of evidence that, when presented together, make it quite obvious that Mr. Hawks was the one responsible for all those deaths. I already have several accomplices in finding and protecting these vital documents. We call ourselves the Secret Association of Victims of Injustice (or usually SAVI for short). To give you an Idea on what work SAVI are currently doing here's a list.

- Gathering Witnesses
- Using inside spies to discover Bill's future plans
- Searching for documents related to the fire in police stations all over the world

and we've also helped raise money for those who have been affected by Bill Hawks.

Before you decide whether or not you would like to be part of the SAVI you need to know this. Bill Hawks has an army of Secret Service Soldiers (or SSS ), which he uses to track down members of the SAVI and other people investigating the matter of the fire. You could be injured, or even killed. You should also know, from what we have discovered from our double agents (Government Moles, you can call them.) Bill Hawks plans to gain control of the police, meaning he can arrest anyone he chooses and The army, meaning he can start a war should he. We have further evidence to suggest he also wants to take over the whole of England. It would be a painful dictatorship, especially for anyone who has ever had anything to do with the SAVI.

The choice is yours.
Should you wish to join me and the SAVI in protecting our country from the grasp of Bill Hawks, then meet me at the Clock shop at the end of Midland road in EXACTLY five years time. (You should be out of prison by then.)
Should you wish not to join, then just don't show up.

I hope to see you in five years, which sounds seemingly rude as its quite a while away.

Kind Regards,
Laura

"I see." mumbled the Professor, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"When you found me, I'd just had a very bad run in with the SSS. I had many files that helped prove that Bill Hawks was responsible for the explosion... but they caught me." I explained. I tried hard not to grimace at the sick memory of being beaten, and what I would consider emotionally tortured.

"What kinds of things were on these documents?" The professor questioned, curiosity creeping over him.

"Lists." I stated "There was a list of all the people who died in the fire, there was a list of witnesses to the fire and details on where to find them and there were lists of people who could help us. But they took it all. There was also a very important interview with Bill Hawks. As you can imagine before the time machine caused all those deaths, he was very proud of his invention and showing it off. It proves him responsible for the building of the machine. But the most important document..." I shook my head angrily "The one I'm going to hell for losing, was a form with Bill's signature on it. It was the form he signed to say that he had personally checked and reviewed the machine, and that it was safe to use. Even though he was fully aware the time machine was dangerous and risky, he signed this paper. He endangered the lives of all in London, by signing that form. And now I've bloody lost it."
the weight of what had happened finally kicked in. I held my head in my hands and let out a shaky sob. I failed the SAVI, I failed Laura, and I failed England.

"It's ok Clive... You did your best." Flora nervously edged towards me and put her arm round my shoulder. She was still afraid.

"My best wasn't good enough" I said blankly. After letting me compose myself, the Professor pressed on.

"So I suppose you went to the clock shop then?"

"Yes" I nodded "It was abandoned when I got there, all that was left when I came in was the giant clock, a table and two chairs and a small kettle brewing. Laura was there too of course."

"Right." The professor nodded, processing all the information had been given. I could practically hear the cogs n his brain turning. "So, a brief summary. You are part of the SAVI, a secret organisation whose goal is to prove Bill Hawks is responsible for the explosion sixteen years ago, and by doing so preventing him from gaining control over England"
I nodded to show he had all the facts correct so far.
"But Bill has an army of Secret Service Soldiers, or the SSS, that are trying to stop you from achieving your goal. You were recently attacked by the SSS and they now have possession of some very important documents that prove Bill responsible of the explosion. One particularly important document being a form signed by Bill Hawks showing he had tested and reviewed the time machine and that it was not in any way dangerous, which of course he knew it was. This makes him guilty of endangering, and furthermore , the lives of innocent people living near by in London. Therefore is guilty of manslaughter and is not in a fit position as a criminal to lead our country. Is that all correct?"

"Yes that is correct exactly." I agreed. The professor went on to ask more questions.

"What is Laura's current occupation?" He asked, adjusting his hat carefully.

"She currently is a high ranking officer at Scotland yard. Has come in handy on many occasions as we need someone with the clearance to get us the documents we need." I explained carefully.

"And you, Clive?" he gestured his hand towards me politely.

"I'm a journalist for the newspaper 'The London Express'. Has come in handy for criticising Bill's leadership." I laughed, resting my head against the cushion comfortably. The professor took a sip of his cup of tea and chuckled too.

"Clive, what happens to the government moles if they are discovered?" He asked, his concerned eyes shining.
I stopped laughing. I had seen that many times, and we have lost many members of the SAVI this way.

"It's truly horrible professor... The punishment was one I had experienced myself. I-I-if it weren't for Laura... I don't think I would've ever recovered from it. Sometimes it affects me today. Bill Hawks can be a very cruel man, and though a persuasive and admirable leader... He has a very dark side to him. A need for power." I put down the cup of tea I was holding, painful memories of the experience stirred in my mind.
I turned my head to see Flora staring at me with worry, her dark eyes filled with worry.

"What was the punishment, Clive?" she whipered.

"I-it was..."

Okay, next chapter is another flashback. In a sense there are two stories in this fanfic. There is Clive's time in prison, and some stories of the SAVI. Then there's of course the time hes going to be spending with Layton, Flora and other members of the SAVI. the present, so to speak. My character Laura will soon be making an appearance in the present, and as you know from the character list, Luke will be in this too! So yeah, the next chapter is a chapter about Clive being tortured *Insert sad and horrified / scared emoji here* And as usual, I will update tomorrow! see ya :) x
