Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 149 The evening progress uneventfully. Germaine left to meet up with friends to play squash and Sherry and Randal settled in to a comfortable evening watching old movies. A particular joy since they rarely had time to just relax. Casablanca followed by Gone with the Wind. Sherry nestled into […]

Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 148 Randal arranged a lunch meeting for all the staff and they gathered together enjoying lunch outside in the park. They huddled together as though preparing for a football game. Indeed, it was a game, an important one. He filled them in on what his informant had told […]

Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 147 They worked feverishly for three days connecting the dots, checking and double checking to ensure the information was indeed correct. Finally, unequivocally, Randal could attest the perfection the information offered. Yes! They were scheduled to meet in exactly five days from now at 5:23. The connection didn’t […]

Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 146 Germaine was captivated by Brenda which amused Randal. Germaine had his head on his shoulders as they say and wasn’t one to waver, yet he was a little sidetracked. Randal knew she was involved with Vance, he’d remembered that in a blinding flash, but his hands were […]

Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 144 Sometimes events were clear and transparent. The connections flamed blue then red and finally green and you knew instantly it was a match. At others, it was as if searching through a heavy fog while holding a flashlight as you searched millimeter by millimeter moving at a […]

Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 143 Randal introduced Brenda as the latest member of the team assigned by Marsden. The team nodded an acknowledgement and he continued then invited everyone outside on the deck so they could speak freely. “New evidence has come to light. Damara and sidekick Sykes, are planning another hit […]

Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 142 Randal voluntarily released the mirror. Standing back, he swayed. Brenda grabbed hold of his arm. “You ok?” “Yeah, it was much more intense this time. I’ve been on the outskirts if you will, this time I was right in the midst of their planning. Perhaps that made a […]
Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 141
Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 141 Germaine was up early, long before his shift at the station began. He’d found an unusual link and had followed it the night before. He copied the information and sent it to Randal in a holo-gram so they could discuss it later, or Randal could take a look […]
Phase Shift – Part 3 – Page 140
Phase Shift – Part 3 Page 140 Randal was considering how much he could safely explain to his friends. There was a line in the sand that dictated how much information could be divulged without corrupting time knowledge of the future and the effects it could have on the individual as well. Randal was a […]

Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 139 It was determined that Brenda would continue with the plans they’d instituted while helping Randal as much as possible. Brenda was surprised at Randal’s immediate acceptance of what had been and what was. They’d expected more of a phase shift as a result. Nothing. That was interesting. […]

Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 138 “As long as that is the case, we have free reign. We should be able to search undisturbed.” He paused thoughtfully. “How long are you staying?” “Originally as long as it took, to inform you about the situation, bring you up to date. Now I’m not so sure. […]
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 137
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 137 They talked for another two hours before Randal asked, “What was my life like? What did I do, who was I?” Brenda explained his position on the team, what they did. “Seems to fit with what you’ve chosen here.” “It must be in the blood.” “Randal, are you […]
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 136
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 136 Randal was shocked but not. Surprised but not. Everything seemed right, pictures moments in time began falling into place. His mind was in a whirl as he digested the possibility. Suddenly, the unusual abilities he had made perfect sense. He seemed to know things, feel things, see […]

Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 135 “What’s the meaning of this?” Randal asked with some exasperation. “You don’t belong here. Your time is with us.” “What the hell does that mean?” Brenda slowly filled Randal in on what had gone before, his life, his job, his friends. “You grabbed onto Damara when she […]
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 134
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 134 Brenda chose her words carefully since she couldn’t say too much without placing Randal in a precarious position. “We’ve been tracking her for some time and lost her. Having recently found her again, we know she’s here. Do you have any leads?” “A few but I’m working on […]
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 134
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 134 Before he could respond, Brenda asked, “How long would it take you to get information on this woman?” His look said it all. He’d hunted her forever, but that someone else knew of her, meant they may have more evidence to add to the growing file. “As a […]

Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 133 Brenda was starving and found an eatery. While she munched on a luscious bagel and cream cheese with coffee, she went over her plan. Randal may not remember her or his existence other than what he was now living. Vance had said go slow. An appearance may be […]
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 133
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 133 Brenda had never done this before, it was new – exciting and unexpected. The rush was volatile, the sights like flashes of lightening all round. She felt both exhilarated and nervous. Weightless she floated as though her body existed but without substance. She could see it but […]

Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 132 A light sweat permeated Vance’s brow. “You got this! Your good to go.” Under his breath he whispered, “You got this, right?!” Emilio nodded. “You’re going to the place we last interacted with Randal. You’ll feel disoriented at first but once the feelings settle into place, you’ll remember […]
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 131
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 131 Preparations were made in secret. Only two others would know of this journey Brenda would now undertake. Braxton and Emilio. They would track her movements as he would. Braxton’s eyes were huge as he stared at Emilio. They knew the pitfalls of such an attempt and would […]

Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 130 They sat quietly at first, Brenda relaxed in the holo-chair in front of his desk. He had an odd look on his face and his body was stiff. Something’s up, she thought. Interesting. Whatever it was he had to say, Vance wasn’t happy or pleased about it. […]
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 129
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 129 The idea filled Vance with trepidation. His best was Brenda. The thought of putting her in harm’s way shook him to the core. Marsden was right. Sending her after a lead in person was a perfect solution. Unfortunately, the right solution. He could go himself, but as […]
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 128
Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 128 “Vance, I have a plan.” The first words he received upon waking. Intrigued, he mentioned it to Brenda. “Encrypted so important I’d think,” Vance responded. Holding her in his arms when she would have hopped out of bed, Brenda stopped looking into Vance’s eyes. “Yes?” “Just taking […]

Phase Shift – Part 2 Page 127 Campbell was aware of the sideways glances directed his way. More so than usual and it had him on edge. They knew something. He glanced at the others whose gaze shifted rather than make eye contact. He’d always been above them in intelligence and couth and was aware […]
