‎ 

‎ With the tense atmosphere and the end of Phuta, the man and Anabel seen to be in some kind of disagreement.

‎ "Don't you understand" a man said in confusion "I'm going to give you a chance to prove yourself".

‎ "I said no, so get that into your metallic head "Annabelle said.

‎ " Ana...."

‎ "don't.... call that name "Annabelle said pointing at him. " Look, you seem like a nice person and I appreciate your support, but you don't know me "she said with tears in her eyes.

‎ The man looked at her, her eyes in particular, as a saw the reflection of the light from the fire in the background sparkle through our dangling tears before fetching out some questionable smile "you are An.., Annabelle Elana" he said.

‎ "I said don't .., mention.., that name " she insisted. She closed her eyes making the tears bounce off with some sliding their way down.

‎ "Becoming a single mother of three due to the tragic loss of the husband related to war crimes "he continued moving closer to her.

‎ "Stop...".

‎ "The missing report of your first child when he was just two years old".

‎ He looked to his right, picked up his gun and stood up. Then he spoke "so what's your plan? where are you going? this planet is gone. At least follow me, you'll be safe" he said pointing at the portal.

‎ Annabelle sighed and asked " where are we going?".

‎ He smiled and said "the station".

‎ As they both walked through the portal she asked "who are you exactly?"

‎ "I'm No 645, sent by the Inter Space Timeline Defence".

‎ " So I.S.T.D in Short?" Annabelle asked for clarification.

‎ "Precisely".

‎ They went through the portal as it immediately vanished, not realizing they were being watched from above by 'HE'

‎ "They'll lead me straight to earth" HE said under his voice.
