Summary: Tamira isn't Alice and this isn't Wonderland. Where's a SEAL when you need one?
When Tamira Johnson picked up her purse and headed for the main doors of the Veterans Administration building, the only thing on her mind was catching the BBQ truck before it moved on to another part of the city. In other words, all she expected was lunch as she stepped through the doors into a surprisingly bright afternoon. Once her eyes adjusted to the glare, she realized she was getting more than lunch.
She might not be getting lunch at all.
The food truck was no longer parked in front of the building. For that matter, when she turned around, she was standing in front of an entirely different building than the one she'd stepped out of a few seconds ago. None of the office buildings on the block looked the same, either, and there were a good third fewer people around in general.
What the heck was going on?
Taking out her cell, she tried to dial her sister's number, but there was no service. And that didn't make any sense at all. When her daughter had gone away to college, Tamira had made sure she had the plan with the best coverage in D.C., even if it was a little more expensive, just so she could be sure the kids would be able to reach her if there was ever a need.
Seeing that at least there was still a bus stop at the corner, she determined to go home and see if things made anymore sense. She had to be lost, somehow. But, she'd lived in this city for more than forty years. If she was lost, then something had to be wrong with her. Maybe she should go to the hospital, instead? Yes, that's what she would do. She could take this bus and transfer to one that went by the hospital.
Decision made, Tamira crossed the street and sat down to wait for the bus.
