Re: The Cars
Derek had made the calls the moment they were in the car so that they were all on one page, but mostly because he wanted to hear people's reactions, especially their new arrivals.
The arrogance in the man's voice was hardly surprising. Narcissist psychopaths were your average politicians and it was even truer with someone who was supposed to be Bill Clinton.
"You are hardly surrounded, Mr. President. Unfortunately these are very public channels so we can't say much over the phone," he said, over the phone. "However we can tell you that you have crossed dimensions. The military in this dimension started a secret project that allowed them to cross over to other dimensions for technology advances. Unfortunately, it backfired and they couldn't control it, people started to cross over from other dimensions.
"At the start, there was a federal agency created with all the people coming through, until they decided that we were too much of a risk and decided to dispose of the problem."
"They tried to kill you," Elaine said.
"That's correct, Ma'am. They killed some of us, but not all. We escaped, and now we stay undercover. We are trying to find a way home and while we do that, we find new arrivals and keep them safe," Derek continued. "Some of us were really federal agents back at home, and we have our own little agency running. As I said, we offer protection, food, money and in exchange people are assigned jobs and have to follow rules." And that would go over as well as a brick through a window.
