Chapter 121: Chapter 121: What Is

-my heart skips, starts again and I'm holding the lifeless hand of the seer between my own. Again I try to call her back, try to heal one I care for, but she's gone and I allow her freedom. She's told me what I need to know. That I'm heading for failure.

My friends will die if I keep going. But what choice do I have?

None.

"What did she show you?" I look up at Beckett, his grim face unreadable and shrug.

"Nothing." I say. "No time."

Ande sighs softly, the connection between us rippling. Did they see then? But they couldn't have or Beckett wouldn't have asked.

I rise, leaving the dead girl behind, leaving them all to follow as I travel the distance down the worn carpeting to the next doorway. The time device is here, it must be. In the same physical location. The humming is louder now, almost musical, vibrating up through my bones, making my jaw ache. But I welcome the sound. It means we've arrived, we're here.

We're here.

Beckett's mind reaches through. This isn't right.
