“There has got to be more.” Jacob said “We need to at least know where to start to look.”  He looked over at Officer Miller to ask her to help but she had her head down and was sobbing into her hands. Oh no Jacob thought he felt for her but he was never good and consulting people who were sad, reluctantly he made his way over to her.

“It, it’s ok Officer Err Officer Milber.”

“What am I doing here, I’m a cop for God’s sake I shouldn’t be in another dammed dimension with someone who hardly know my name finding out that my Dad the only person I had left didn’t actually thy to leave me, he was just stuck like we are.” She burst into tears again turning away from Jacob.

“We don’t know that he is dead, we might be able to find him.”

“It’s Jennie, please we have got to know each other better, my name is Jennie I am thirty years old, and my Dad abandoned me when I was ten, or so I thought. I told my foster parents that the orphanage lied on the form, I-I told them that he was dead, that he had died from a heart-attack and that whole time secretly I wish he had died. But now, oh I feel so horrible for thinking that.” She pointed to a file she much have found while Jacob was looking at the strange picture.

He picked it up, it was a death certificate for Greg Miller

“Well Jennie, I am very pleased to finally meet you and right now the very best thing we can do for your father is stay strong and find Bradley before the same fate is bestowed upon him.” He said

Jennie nodded she walked over and got a Kleenex and wiped the tears away from her eyes “Thank you” she said smiling then she walked over and hugged him “Now let’s get out of this place and back home as fast as possible.”

“Ok start looking through all the files, separate them by most to least important” said Jacob braking their hug, he bent down to drawer with the letter F written in bold lettering and started sorting.

Jacob glanced at his watch it’s been half an hour, how long does it take to sort through files?

“I’ve got something!” Jennie shouted.

Jacob looked up at her, she was holding up a file from the very last drawer marked I on the front of the file cabinet.

“Here come have a look.” She said.

He walked over to where she was kenneling on the ground to sort files I could never do that Jacob thought looking at the position her knees where in, he sat down beside her “So what is it?”

“Look” she held up the folder. It was a map of some sort it was in a circle, the map was a giant circle and marked was a clear blue line to the direct middle of it. Across the bottom of the page there was what looked like hand written directions they read:

Go out, In one, In three, out, out, in two, in three, in five, out, in one, out, as always choose the destination wisely. 

“I think I know where to go from here, let’s go.” Jacob turned around but Jennie had disappeared, his heart started racing, but she out of the closet witch Jacob didn’t see was open holding a duffel bag, she walked in the kitchen and stared to pull boxes of granola bars, crackers, nuts and dried fruit out of the closet.

“We don’t know how long we will be, might as well take some stuff, by the way were are we going?”

Jacob answered “Your Dad was the first person to have ever discovered time travel, you choose you know him better than I do.”
