Chase advised before scowling at Jacob.
Wernher nodded and did as he was asked.
Sarah went to go next before Chase grabbed her arm. “You don’t need to do this, we can do it without you.”
“I’m coming.” He reluctantly released her arm, and she too walked into the light.
Chase looked towards Jacob, who seemed to be on the verge of laughter. “What’s so funny?” Chase snapped.
“I don’t think she’s interested in you.”
Chase shook his head and walked into the light.
“Well doc, it’s just you and me left. I’ll see you on the other side.”
“Yes you will.” Edward replied awkwardly.
Jacob walked into the light and disappeared like the others.
Edward stared at the light for a moment, he knew it was his last chance to leave. He looked around the condo and wondered whether he should just rid himself of the wormhole and these people. He heard the key turn in the door to the condo and the sound of women’s voices, startled he decided to join the others in Louisiana.
Chapter 16
Bobby was thrown back into the tiny cell, each and every time this happened the stench hit him first. His throat was so dry, he couldn’t cope with much more and he knew it. He clattered into Emmerich and the door was slammed shut.
“Did he do the same again?” Emmerich asked.
“Yes, another bucket of salt water.” Bobby croaked.
“How are you feeling?” Will asked.
“Terrible, I can’t take much more of this.”
“We need to get out of this place, if we stay and do nothing then it’s just a matter of time.” Emmerich stated.
“It can’t be done.” Will replied.
“Of course it can.” Emmerich argued.
“I agree with Will, I don’t have the strength. My hip is fucked, I can hardly walk and I’m so dehydrated.”
“Bobby you won’t be able to drink much more salt water, probably a couple more days. At least if we try then we have a chance.”
“Bobby is right, I’ve been here for months, I don’t have the strength either. You just got here, so maybe you should try yourself.”
“I can’t do it alone.” Emmerich sighed.
“Why are you even in here Emmerich?” Will asked.
“I was a member of the communist party.” Emmerich replied his voice filled with regret.
“Emmerich, for your own sanity, you have to realise that you will not leave here.” Will replied.
“So you would rather just give up?” Emmerich asked indignantly.
“Look at us Emmerich. The three of us are locked in a cell that we can’t even move around in, I have only seen your face once when we were being fed. We have burns from pissing in our clothes and being unable to change. Bobby hasn’t eaten and has only drunk salt water for almost a week. How exactly do you intend on getting us out of here, how the hell can we even escape this cell?” Will raged.
“I am going to die here.” Bobby said, almost crying. If he had any fluids in his body he probably would have.
“So am I.” Will replied.
“There is still a chance for you Will.” Bobby advised.
“How do you figure?”
“You don’t die here.” Bobby replied.
“Why do you say that?”
“Because I’m from the future and I knew you, you will kill Josef Mengele.”
“You are delusional.” Will advised.
“I’m not delusional, you will one day work for me, but I will not know you.”
“Why not?”
“Because it is me from my past, this is my present.”
“So how did you end up here?” Will asked.
“I was sent through a wormhole, my best friends betrayed me.”
“Do you know me?” Emmerich asked hopefully.
“No, I’m sorry.”
“How do I escape?” Will asked.
“You will be liberated, when the Nazis lose the war. You will then devote your life to tracking them down and killing them.”
“So we are friends?” Will asked.
Bobby wasn’t
