Chapter 6: A Tale Of Two Times

Unknown Age:

"Parker's dog has also come with us." Artie said.

"By the way, what is this German Shepherd called?" Matt asked stroking the dog's head."

"Dunno. Parker never told us." Davis replied.

"Well, let's name it Marble. His eyes look exactly like them." Kyle suggested.

"Alright, Marble. Now you are a member of our team." Matt said.

"How long will our team survive? The controller's Time Tracker will locate us in a day. And then he would kill us!!" DeWayne said.

"I've got a TTM. We'll keep travelling to another time after every twenty hours. This will gradually make the Time Tracker confused and it won't work." Matt explained.

"Ok, then." DeWayne responded.

Year 2067

Parker's Pizzeria:

A shot of the Helper's gun blew away the door of that tower, the tower which contained a single-floor Parker's Pizzeria. The tower was surrounded by a dozen Helpers, all carrying heavy weapons.

"Daddy, the controller's Helpers are here." A little boy living on the ground floor flat of the tower, shouted to his father.

"Hold your breath and pretend to be dead." His father whispered.

The other people living in the tower had the same idea, and they did the same.

The Helpers broke into the pizzeria. Parker opened his eyes and blinked. He was filled with both surprise and terror.

"Where is Matt?" A Helper said, pointing the gun at the poor man. "Tell us! Or you'd soon be lifeless."

Unknown Age:

"Even if The Time Tracker stopped working, we'd still be in trouble because the controller can just buy another one." Davis said.

"There's only one Time Tracker in the whole world, and that's the one Dad has." Matt explained. "It would take months to build another one."

"But how would we know that the Time Tracker has stopped working?" Artie asked.

"Through my Time Glass." Matt said. "You just have to speak the year and location to it, and it will show you what's going on there." Matt said.

"Well, we can easily defeat the controller then!" Kyle jumped in surprise. "We can see what's going on in the Control Tower, find out some secret codes...."

"Hold your breath, Kyle." Matt said. "It isn't allowed to show you what's going on in the Control Tower. You think, my Dad wouldn't have thought of that when he bought it?"

"Then, let's take a look at the future, and see if we have defeated the controller." Kyle said.

"It doesn't show you the future." Matt said. "Just the present (Year 2067) and the past. That's the same with my TTM."

"Shoot." Kyle said, his hopes vanished.

Year 2067

Control Tower:

Parker was dragged helplessly by two Helpers into the controller's room.

"So, would you care to tell us why Matt was at your pizzeria?" The controller asked.

"I don't know anything. My workers are nowhere to be seen, my dog has disappeared......"

"Enough!" He was cut off by the controller. "I don't have time to hear about your workers and your dog. Helpers, take this guy to the Control Prison."

"Aren't you going to kill him?" The Helper asked.

"No. Perhaps, after spending a few days in the Control Prison, he'd tell something useful which will help us find Matt." The controller said.
