worth a million of you. I’ve never even met this so called half-brother, for all I know it isn’t even true. You’re hardly a reliable source.”
“Yet for almost a year you based your news reports around what I told you.” Jacob laughed.
Sarah did not reply to this comment, Edward was trying to avoid eye contact with everyone in the room.
“Tell me, Dr Teller why are you doing this?” Jacob asked.
Edward reluctantly looked towards Jacob, his dead eyes made Edward’s spine tingle. “I’m fixing my mistake.”
Jacob burst into a fit of laughter. “Which one would that be Edward, you invented the atom bomb, you invented the wormhole generator, you essentially gave Abaddon everything he’s ever needed to destroy the people of earth. But here you are trying to save someone you don’t even know, I’d have assumed you would have bigger fish to fry.”
Edward stared at Jacob for a moment before answering. “It wasn’t me that nuked anyone, it wasn’t me that used the wormhole generator for my own personal gain. I am a scientist, the people who use my devices are to blame for their own mistakes. But it was me that sent Bobby to Auschwitz, I have helped to save both Chase and Miss Salmond, I will do the same with Mr Stinson.”
As Edward finished speaking Chase appeared back in the room, beside a baffled looking Wernher Von Braun.
“Another scientist for you to play with Edward.” Jacob laughed.
“Have a seat Dr Von Braun.” Chase said, ignoring Jacob.
Wernher sat beside Sarah and Chase took the seat that Faraday had been sitting on, leaving Jacob with a couch to himself.
“I’m feeling very unloved.” Jacob joked.
“So why am I here?” Wernher asked nervously.
“We don’t have time to explain this here, we need to get to my friends.” Jacob ordered.
Edward sighed. “So where and when are we going?”
“We are going to the diner on Main Street of Gibsland, Louisiana. I have arranged to meet them at 08:30, on May 23 rd, 1934.”
Edward typed in the details while Chase stared accusingly at Jacob.
“Who are these friends?” He asked.
Jacob laughed. “You’ll see.”
“We aren’t going anywhere until we know who they are.” Chase barked.
Jacob glowered at Chase. “You’ve read the story of Jesse James, of how he lived and died, if you’re still in need, of something to read, here’s the story of Bonnie and Clyde.” Jacob smirked.
“The gangsters?” Chase asked, stunned.
“They’re good people.” Jacob replied.
“According to you.”
“Well, perhaps not good people, but they can shoot. Which is more than can be said for the journalist over there, and the two scientists.”
“So that’s your plan, shoot your way in and out?” Chase spoke with derision.
“Chase it is not my plan, but it doesn’t hurt to have a Plan B. They need help, just like your bonfire man did, in fact, it was you that gave me the idea. So I went to visit them, I told them how close they were to their deaths, and I told them to meet me at this diner. They will come with us, or they will drive a little further down the road where they will be killed.” Jacob smiled.
“Why would you even want their help for something like this?” Chase asked.
“One man cannot get us in and out, who knows what state Bobby will be in. I highly doubt that we are all getting out of there alive. It doesn’t matter how brave anyone is, or how good their intentions. The only things that matter is your ability to lie and your ability to shoot.”
“The generator is ready.” Edward announced. He got to his feet and walked clear from the couches, and the light then appeared.
“Are you going to kill me?” Wernher asked, trembling slightly.
“No, we just need your help, if you go through the light we can explain everything.” Chase reassured him.
“But I might still kill you.” Jacob chuckled.
“Ignore him.”
“Yet for almost a year you based your news reports around what I told you.” Jacob laughed.
