Chapter 8: Chronos Refocuses

  Chronos was able to get away from everyone, he couldn’t believe that he couldn’t be seen around with his actual face – he was actually vulnerable for once! That Tyler and even Dex were quite crafty around him, even more than Thad and Havana.

  “Uh, those two, how the heck am I going to get around without a mask?!” thought Chronos.

  Chronos was in the storage area, he knew he had to create a mask himself, it would be a simple surgical mask instead of a regular face mask. As he managed to create one, he was able to cover at last most of his face.

  “This will have to do” thought Chronos.

  Chronos did his best continuing to pretend to do his chores around the Academy and trying to figure out where everyone went. But Gloria and the others were at the gym – the gym was a simple place to setup a trap for Chronos.

  “That rogue time traveler should be arriving here any minute” said Ty.

  Everyone wanted to capture the rogue time traveler, but Matthew could tell this time traveler was smarter than he looked. He could tell that everyone was rushing into judgment on his motives in apprehending Davie. Davie was scared for his safety.

  “Please, I hope this will protect me” said Davie.

  Davie found himself secured in a glass display, it was quite a complicated trap that would be triggered once the rogue time traveler would step into the gym. They all expected Chronos would step into the front – but Matthew got the feeling it wouldn’t happen the way it was planned out. The trap was designed by Dex to trap the rogue time traveler.

  “I’m glad everyone decided to give me a chance” said Dex.

  Dex could tell that neither Havana nor Thad wanted Davie, especially Thad with his grumpy behavior. Dex explained how the trap worked – it felt more like a trap from a traditional cartoon series where once the suspect entered, it would trigger a series of events. A bowling ball of all things was supposed to be launched.

  “Sounds dangerous” said Carmal.

  Carmal obviously wanted to stay far away from the trap as possible over the fear of getting hurt again. As everyone got in their positions, Chronos could see that the gym was the only area left. But Chronos himself knew it was best not to barge in.

  “Uh, they’re just planning something against me” thought Chronos.

  Chronos cautiously moved towards the front, but decided to go against moving into the gym itself. Instead, Chronos found some backways into the gym which the cleaning robots would regularly use.

  “This might do me better” laughed Chronos.

  Chronos was able to fit right through the area where the cleaning robots were, once he was on the other end he was just underneath the bleachers where he could see Carmal sitting there nervously.

  “I just hope the wrong person doesn’t enter” said Carmal.

  Chronos knew he had to trigger someone, anyone that wasn’t him but who? Rudolfo Hernandez the Vice Director of the Department of Relativity and the brother of Gloria was perfect. He could tell that he was in the building from the computer tablet that he had.

  “Now all I have to do is send a fake text message from his sister” laughed Chronos.

  Chronos was hopeful that Rudolfo would be careless to trigger the trap for him, therefore providing the right cover to grab poor Davie.
