Kathleen's Diary
It was only a short walk to the Japanese sushi restaurant from the building that housed bio-defense laboratory. Dr. Forbes decided to grab some take away sushi for dinner on her way back to her apartment building after work. She wore a dark blouse, and flowery knee high skirt with sensible high heels and carried a massager bag that held her new Mac book inside.

The sidewalk was full of pedestrians, mostly white collar workers on their way home in the late afternoon. It was a diverse crowd of people walking on the city sidewalks, so she would not have noticed the man had been following her.


"Kathleen?" she heard a man's voice called from behind that caused her to stop, and then turned around. She saw the owner of Thoth's Library, and Purity's employer in a odd looking uniform.

"Mister Guevera," she greeted with a smile. "How are you?" She wondered if he was on his way to one of those occult conventions, or perhaps even one of those Watcher Council's meeting. She forgotten he was no longer an active member of that particular organization. "It's been a while since we last met."

"Better now that I've found you," he said as he approached her with a case in his hand, and some strange looking over-sized wrist watch. He seem very please to see her again.

Kathleen looked at his smile, but his eyes did not match. Instead his eyes looked sad and tired. "I've been away in California for a medical conference," she responded. "Is there something I can help with Mister Guevera?"

"So you are a medical doctor in this world," he said as a statement of fact, rather than in the form of a question. A statement that Dr. Forbes found very odd. "I don't want to take up your time Miss Valentine."

"Valentine? That's my father's name," she said looking at him with concern. Her last name would have been that of her biological father if he had not gone missing and married her mother.

"Doctor Forbes, forgive me. It's still so soon since ..." his voiced trailed to a pause for a beat. "I'm not the same Mister Guevera you know of this world, I have something for you that would explain." He lifted up the leather case, and pulled out a journal book with the brass looking lock with an small oval. "This," there was a brief hesitation in his voice, "belonged to my late wife, and I think she would want you to have it."

"I don't understand. Who was your wife?" She already meant Jessica from another alternative universe, so the Logan who stood before her could really be from another world.

"Her name was Kathleen," he tried to hand her the diary. "Please take this, it will explain I am sure."

"Me!"

"Please I've said enough, take this, you are the only one who can unlock it. Here," he placed his thumb on the oval. "Your print is the only one that can open the diary." He then placed the journal in her hand. "If there is time before I leave, I will seek you out, but I can not say for sure. Please, she would want you to have this."

Kathleen just held the book and then read the engraving on the name plate Kathleen Guevera . She did not know how to respond, but did place her thumb on the oval, which then caused the locking mechanism to disengage. "You said late ... wife." When she looked up he was gone to never be seen by her again.
