the one thing I miss

"Are you sure about this?"

"No, but I must get it."

We were standing in the lab. Lockes to the left of me I was holding a handheld time machine. I was getting ready to go back and grab the most important thing ever, that I forgot when I left my old school. of course, I was just visiting but still, I miss it and want it back.

Lockes moved to the door and looked out the white halls were barren.

Looking back in he nodded.

"ok here goes nothing." with that said. I started it and selected the date of April 25th, 2027. The machine whirred and then,

*POP!*

Opening my eyes I found I was back. I looked around and found myself whoops in the girl's bathroom. I stowed the machine and went out. I took out my mask and put it on it had been with me forever and assumed the position of the other security guards present so I could blend in. I looked around and saw a clock.

"Crap," I murmured. I had messed up the time it was 11:23 A.M. I needed to wait another 3 hours before I could grab it. well time to blend in.

"Ahem" I cleaned my throat for in front of me there were 2 students, what the word. oh right touching each other.

They looked at me and ran.

I moved over to the conference table in the center of the room and sat down I then made myself less seen by sinking into the shadows.

While in the shadows time went by faster. when I came out it was 2:58 P.M.

There left on the table was a katana, one made from the strongest metal in the world and it looked so pretty. The handcrafted hilt was matched by the jade on the saya. I moved in closer going for my prize when I felt a shadow coming I quickly grabbed my prize and then came out of the shadows moving closer to the girl's bathroom.

I ran in and shut the door quickly. I looked around and noticed the door to one of the toilets was ajar, I did not want to find out what the small moans were about. I took the device out and typed in my former address with only an advance of 2 seconds and then.

POP!

"Sir your back!" Lockes almost yelled.

"Yes, I am now."

"I placed the device in a mannequin's hand and set the timer to ∞.

I stepped back and watched as the device and mannequin POPPED away.

I moved to out of the lab and found myself on the deck far below the city was bright in the darkness of the night. I leaned on the railing thinking before I heard the door open and I presume Lockes was coming next to me I looked over at him and I saw his kind face, looking out at the expanse of clouds. he looked at me and spoke. This was the first time in a long while, he spoke more than a few words.

"

"Master" he paused. "Sir, do you miss the way it was?"

The words sadly struck me, yes, I missed life from long ago, but I missed her the most.

I turned from the railing and moved to a com board on the wall.

"Captain take us back to Germany. I have what I came for."

I waited a second before adding

"and tell the fleets to prep themselves for war."

Lockes and I walked to the front of the ship as it started to gain altitude he looked at me and then down at what I was holding.

"Sir, what now?"

"If this world does not end this war soon I will end it for them," I spoke with no emotion.

"Yes sir, as you wish. what did you retrieve?"

I looked down and opened my hand to show Lockes.

"A pen?"

No, I thought not just a pen.

"This was the first gift she gave me one made from rare minerals and metals and uses exquisite ink. I lost it long ago I intend to keep using it and hope with all my heart she wakes."

Lockes looked out at the horizon.

"let's go the bridge" He motioned to the door and ended with a jester before he spoke his last word.

"Master"

I smiled and followed him.
