December 12th, 1997
They were heading to Las Vegas. It was late into the night and Chris
was getting tired. In less than an hour they would be in Vegas and have
Sam's double,sort of. Rembrandt sat there. He looked at Logan.Of all
the slides she could interfere in, it had to be this one. He tilted
his head back so he could look past Logan and see Wade. She was finally
sleeping.She had already been through alot,and it wasn't over yet. Rembrandt
kept thinking of something that could be done to prevent anything worse
happening. From what it seemed like,they would go on with the plan as
scheduled.
Logan had plans of her own.When they got to the project she would try
and use the timer or see if the professor knew the coordinates. If he
didn't,then she would let them get Quinn back so that she could get
the information from him. If he didn't know,she'd just take thier timer
and strand them here.No matter what she would strand them here. She
had been sliding for months now,barely escaping some worlds.She blamed
them for that.She knew that she wouldn't get much sleep on this slide.
They drove on into the night and finally reached Las Vegas.They were
to meet Stillman at the airport.It was good that it was late at night,less
destractions. They pulled around front and Al recognized Stillman standing
next to his van. It was actually really easy considering the lot was
practically empty at this hour. "Alright,no funny business."Logan
said."Any of you try anything and I'll shoot."They pulled
to a stop. What Logan didn't know is that Al had a plan. He would keep
his cool.Soon after getting out he would fake a heart attack.He only
hoped that Stillman,Chris,Rembrandt or Wade would figure it out that
it was fake and in the confusion disarm Logan.Al then looked at Chris
and winked,hoping he'd understand it was a sign.He then did the same
to Remmy and Wade."Here we go."Logan said. They all got out.
"Hey Al,long time no see."Stillman said.He then looked over
everyone and noticed that there were two females.Sam's double sat in
the van and waited to head to the project.Stillman remembered Al only
meantioning one female."I thought you were only bringing one lady
along for the ride.You sly dog,you went and picked up another."Stillman
said jokingly.
"Well, you know how.."Al started to say but then stopped
and started to slope over.He grabbed his chest and dropped to the ground.Everyone
was stunned except for Chris.He knew what Al was up to but played along
for a minute before he would strike.Everyone went running toward Al.Logand
surveyed the situation.She didn't want anyone getting away,but amiss
all the confusion she felt a stinging blow to the head and then backed
out.
"Clear." Chris said.Al got up. Remmy and Wade were confused,same
with Stillman.
"Thank god you knew what I was up to."Al said to Chris."Anyways,we
gotta go before she comes to."He said.Everyone else was still confused.They
finally figured it out.
At that Stillman said,"Ok,quick,into the van."They all rushed
over to the van and got inside.Al got in the passenger seat while the
rest sat in back with Sam's double,sort of.After everyone was in Stillman
started the engine and they took off."It took me awhile but after
seeing the extra girl I became suspicious.After Chris whacked that girl
over the head,I figured she was the unwanted guest."He then looked
in back at the rest."Hi,I'm Stillman,you must be Wade,"he
said as he looked at her,"and which one of you is Chris and which
is Rembrandt?"
"I'm Rembrandt."Remmy said.
"I'm Chris."Chris said.
"Nice to meet you."Stillman said."Fellas,I'd like you
to meet my traveling companion.Meet Sam Beckett,or as you know he's
not really Sam,meet Michael Mallory." A look of shock came over
Rembrandt's and Wade's faces. They then looked at eachother.
"Oh boy."They both said at the same time.
