He wore his bag pack and walked out to the end of the street. There he opens the door of an old abandoned Car shed. There he hid a Bugatti Veyron 2067 high end model; it is one of the high-speed road monsters launched that year. He started it and slowly disappeared into the Dark night.

              

PAST FORWARD

            Chapter 1: The Time Imprisonment proposal

 

Stephen slowed down his car in another street, meanwhile another guy David came and sat in the car and they started towards the main city. Stephen and David were friends since their childhood days, Stephen is a good guy but works for bad, he has great courage and muscles, He is a well determined and he won’t spare if any one objects him, David is a little bit coward but he has good hacking skills. Stephen and David are secretly working for the Local Gangster who assigns them to complete some missions to complete, in turn the gangster gives them whatever they want.

Today Stephen and David were assigned a work to kidnap Clark Tyler, one of the undercover Time Travel Management (TTM) organization member and bring him to the Gangster. According to some sources David got some information that Clark is going to attend the 10 years celebrations of TTM organization at the TTM towers, so they planned to kidnap Clark after the TTM celebration meeting.

              The celebrations inside the TTM towers were going on with great pomp and show. The Time Travel Management (TTM) organization was found in 2058 after the invention of the Great Time machine in 2056. The CEO of TTM and the inventor of time machine is Dr. Peter Harker. He founded this organization to do more Research, track and keep the records of Time travelling and if any person violates the TTM rules they will be imprisoned TTM. He also didn’t reveal how he built the time machine except 2 scientists working in TTM. So, the Time machine in his TTM tower is the only portal to travel through time. He wanted to do more research on the Time travel because in the span of these 10 years only 13 people did Time Traveling in which only 10 people survived, 3 people dead some days after time travelling.

 ***

              Meanwhile Stephen and David are waiting at the next street of the TTM towers for Clark to kidnap him while he is on his way returning home. There is a big status of Dr. Peter Harker (The inventor and CEO of TTM) in front of the TTM towers, that can be seen from the Street in which Stephen and David were waiting. David after seeing that statue he says

David: Stephen, do you know that my last name and the inventor of the time machine Dr. peter have the same last name. I am David Harker and he is Peter Harker; I think maybe he is our relative.

Stephen laughs at the joke and takes a puff from his cigar and continues saying

Stephen: yeah, you both even seem to be alike with round potato heads, sleepy eyes and even your hair style too matches like a poop on head.

David: Are you serious?

Stephen: what? about the Poop hair or the potato head?

David: No man, look at me carefully and describe my face again

Stephen: yes, you are right bro yours is not a potato, it’s actually a pineapple.

After the celebrations, there started a conference in TTM towers with the State government officials and the undercover TTM members. Clark Tyler clears his through and came in front of the conference table and starts his presentation to the Government officials.

“The Time Travel Management (TTM) achieved many milestones in Time Travel within the past 10 years, and we have many plans in the future to do with Time Travel, but we have some issues with our Research. We have 13-time travelers till now, out of which 10 were alive, 3 were dead. These are the official records, but in real 7 were alive, 4 were dead and 2 went missing. The two who went missing were great Time scientists they even know how to build a time machine and how the time machine works, they are now missing, and they might be somewhere in the past. But it is very dangerous to leave them there, because in their process of construction of a time machine in the past to come here, they might leak the time machine blueprint to the people in the past. We must find them and stop them before they construct another time machine in the past, if not this may lead to variations in time due to breakage in flow of time. “

Government officials: So, this is our issue, great but I think you may also have a solution to this, right?

Clark Tyler: yes sir, but we have a proposal

Government Official: yeah go on

Clark Tyler: now we are planning a rescue time travel mission to past, but the 7-time travelers who came alive were facing mental disorders, so we need new men to do Time travel into the past. And the main thing is we must balance the Ratio of time travel, that is the ratio of travelers going into the past should be equal to the ratio of travelers coming back into the future, if not mental disabilities will be effected to the travelers like those 7 travelers. So, we need 5 men to travel into the past, in return 2 will be left in the past and the 2 big heads with 3 others will come back to future.

Government Official: So now you mean you need 2 men who accepts to risk their life and Do time travel and stay in past and you will bring that 2 missing big heads back here.

Clark Tyler: I am one of the 5 men to time travel, and all we need is 2 prisoners from jail so that we could leave them in the past to balance the time travel ratio.

Government official: Then who are the other 2 other than prisoners.

Clark Tyler: Yeah, they were near to this TTM tower in the next street waiting for me to kidnap, they are Stephen and David.
