After he got away we went home. Luckily there were two beds in the room, or else it would be incredibly awkward. We went right to sleep. The next day I woke up and he was already awake. "Morning." I said the second I opened my eyes. "Morning." He said back. "When did you wake up?" I asked. "Less than an hour ago." He answered. "Where are you going?" I asked. "I was going to eat breakfast at the restaurant across the street. I'll wait for you to get ready if you want to come." He said. "Yeah, sure." I said. I was good in the mornings. I usually woke up quickly. I just threw on some clothes and I was ready. "Okay, let's go." I called to him, because he was in the bathroom. "That was quick." He said. "Yeah." I said back. Then he came out and we left. "What do they have?" I asked. "Well, things are different here from back home. The food, the clothes, everything." He said. "Really?" I asked. "Yeah, it's like the future here, as time changes, culture changes." He said. "How is this place like our home, but in the future? In all the parallel universes I've been to time works the same, and they are all very different. If this one is practically just home but in the future, how did it get like that and what makes it different?" I asked as we walked from our room down to the elevator and then the lobby. "Well, a while ago someone ripped this timeline from our own, you never noticed, because time stopped for everyone back home, but everywhere else time continued, even here. The department of parallel officers fixed home, and set this one up with a good path. Since it was born with the technology from home, and set on a good path from the parallel officer, it advanced faster than most. Time didn't resume for anyone at home until things were normal again." He explained. Now we were crossing the street. "Oh, and the parallel departments were dismantled after that." He also mentioned. "Wow, the people at home missed a lot." I said really surprised. "It didn't take long, but yeah, they still did miss quite a bit." He agreed. Then we were walking into the restaurant. It was the restaurant next to the fence with the food we tracked.

We sat at the bar. All of the tables, chairs, and everything were almost a bright shade of red and a darker blue. It looked friendly. I picked up the menu in front of me. At least seventy five percent of all of the foods were things I'd never heard of. "Okay, what is... any of this." I asked Crane. "Yeah, just get the panchips." He said. "What is that?" I asked. "Imagine breakfast mixed with a snack, but healthier than both combined." He said. "Wow, that's delicious and nutritious!" I said making a corny rhyming joke. "Don't ever do that again." He advised jokingly. "Fine." I said knowing that it was an awkward, corny, joke. We were both just kidding though. The waiter came over and asked us. We both said panchips and it came on a dish that elevated from inside the bar itself. "That's awesome." I said. "Yeah, it's the cool title things like that are some of my favorite parts about the things here." He said. We ate and talked. "So, how long have you been here?" I asked. "Not long" He said. "What was your life like back home?" I asked. "Almost the same, minus the weird food and flying cars." He said. "What about yours?" He asked. "Well, I was in a few parallels before this." I said. "Really?" He asked. "Yeah, I ran away from home in a place called paradise." I said. "Sounds awesome." He said. "It wasn't as much as you'd expect." I said. "Oh." He said. "Well, I like it here." He said. "Me too." I agreed. Then we were finished. He paid for the food and we left.

"Okay, so how do we follow that tracker?" He asked. "Watch." I said meaning I would show him. I shot an arrow into the air. It became visible and floated above our heads. It pointed down the alley. "That way." I said. "That's cool." He said. "I know." I said agreeing. We followed the arrow to the end of the alley where there was a turn to the left and right. I shot another arrow in the air and it pointed to the left down the alley. We continued to follow it. At the end of the alleyway there was a street. It went left and right. I shot another one into the air and it pointed right across the street and flew away until it hit a car that was on the ground. It was the car with the tracker was on, it was outside a house. The house didn't look rich or expensive, but still futuristic. We started to approach the car. As we got closer we became more stealthy. Eventually we crossed the street and we were hiding behind the car. "I'll go around to the back, you knock at the front. Let's hope he doesn't remember your face. I'll sneak up on him from behind." Crane planned with me. "Okay." I said confirming I heard and was okay with it. I gave him a few seconds to get a head start to the back.

I walked up the stairs trying to act casual. I rung the doorbell and heard it go off. I heard footsteps and then noticed I couldn't think of anything to say. I tried to think frantically, if I failed it could compromise our chance right now. He opened the door. We were both silent for a moment until he said "Hello." In a tone that was between a question and rudely checking if I was there. "Um, hi. I was just wondering if you would like to buy something." I asked. "No." He said immediately starting to shut the door. That was stupid of me, of course he wasn't going to listen to that. I stopped him from shutting the door. "I'm sure you'll be interested sir." I tried to convince him. He was angry that I had stopped him from shutting the door. "It's, new technology." I said thinking quickly. "Oh, what does it do?" He asked. I had no idea what to say. Surprisingly without thinking I said "A number of things." I said. "It can work with your house through a Bluetooth connection and Internet connections." I said trying to sound like I knew what I was talking about. "I can show you if you like, all I have to do if plug it into your cable box." I said. "Okay." He said letting me in, even more surprisingly. I had nothing to even pretend to set up. I pretended to take something out of my pocket. I then I hid the fact that my hand was empty behind his giant television. "Okay sir, this will only take a moment." I said. I tried to improvise. "What kind of cable box is this?" I asked. "Electric net 3.4." He said. "Okay, it turns out that this will take only a minute longer because I will have to reboot it." I said. I heard him groan under his breath. I tried to think of something else to say but I couldn't. "Um, technical difficulties sir." I said. "It's fine. I don't need your product." He said. "No, no, I'll have it set up any second." I insisted. I heard a click next to one of my ears. "No, you won't." He had c***ed a gun he was aiming at my head. "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" I said being interrupted with him talking. "Stop with the act. You're that guy from last night." He said finally catching onto me. "Sir, I don't know what went down last-" I tried to say but I was interrupted again by him saying: "Boy, if you don't tell the truth you won't be able to tell anything." He threatened. I pulled my arrow in my bow carefully so that he wouldn't think that it was anything. Since it is invisible, I succeeded and he didn't see it. I aimed it at his left foot, very carefully so that he wouldn't notice my hands moving, and let go. I heard a sudden shriek, knowing that I gotten him. He dropped his gun. I kicked it away so that he would have to go look for it to find it and I would have some time. "Crane, we gotta get out of here!" I screamed for him. There was no answer. I assumed that he was upstairs looking for clues. I ran up the stairs and hoped to God that Crane was there. Upstairs there were 5 rooms, 3 on the left, and 2 on the right. The second door on the right was open. I ran into there and saw Crane rifling through all the drawers. "Dude, what are you doing?" I asked angrily. "There's gotta be clues here somewhere." He said focused. "No, we have to go." I said forcefully. "Why? What did you do?" He asked. "I tried to improvise while I was waiting for you, but it turns out you were busy looking through his underwear!" I explained. I heard stomping up the stairs. "He's coming, let's go!" I screamed. Then he finally snapped out of it and looked up at me. It was a face that practically said: "oh no." There was no escape. "Hide." He said. Then I ran into the closet and Crane looked around frantically for somewhere to hide, but then Zephyr walked into the bedroom. "Wait." The Crane  tried to say, but then Zephyr didn't let him finish and made a blast with his hands and threw Crane out of the window. I ran out of the closet and shot him in the chest a few times with my bow. He was too dangerous for me to let walk away. He aimed his hand at me and he threw me against the wall with his technology and paralyzed me there for moment or two before I broke free. It was rather easy, I could tell he was weak. I chased after him. By the time I was down the stairs he was already in his car. I ran outside of the house and saw his car taking off into the sky and Crane still on the ground from the fall. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Not this time, but I'll have to wait. We can't let him get away this time." He said. "We need to go after him." Crane said weakly. "Okay, I have an idea. I shot an arrow into the sky as high as I could. I could use one of my types of arrows as a grappling hook. I shot up and it went for a while. Finally it latched onto something. I looked closely, it was a flying car that it latched onto.

We started to fly up. "I latched onto a flying car, we'll chase after him in it." I explained. "Okay." He said. Then we flew up extremely fast, in moments we were at the car. We started to climb up, and then we noticed there was a man in the car. "Oh. Sorry. Uh." I said trying not freak the driver out. "Sooty, man" Crane explained. Then he grabbed the driver and teleported down to the ground with more technology. The car started to break down and fall. I screamed as I started to panic. Then he teleported back and began to get the car under control. "Did we lose him?" Crane asked. "No, I can still see him but we need to catch up quickly. By the way never leave me in one of these cars alone again, I can't drive them." I said. "Hold on tight!" Crane warned just before we blasted off. I screamed in fear because I had never been in a flying car before. "You're not afraid of heights are you?" He asked. "No, but I'm afraid of falling to my death because someone goes over the speed limit!" I said. "Then put your seatbelt on!" He advised. "Good idea." I admitted. I looked through the crowd of cars and tried to keep an eye on him so we wouldn't lose him. Luckily the car we had taken was a lot faster than Zephyr's. We caught up eventually. He tried to go around traffic to get away from us. We tried to keep up but one car cut in front of us. We immediately flew over it. We continued to try to keep up. He pulled off some tricks to try to get us to crash. Then he flew under all of the traffic. We couldn't fly under to keep up with him because the people in front of us gave us no room. He was gaining speed and getting away. "Okay, I know you've never done this, but drive." Crane said. "I'll crash in two seconds!" I said. "Please don't!" He advised. He stood up in our car, which had no roof, none of the flying cars had roofs while it was flying. Then he focused very hard, and teleported into Zephyr's car. I tried to control the car but had no idea what any of the buttons did. I just put my feet on the pedals and steered. "This isn't so hard." I said to myself, too soon. Then the person in front of me stopped short. I went flying out of the car because I had to switch seats to the driver's side and hadn't buckled in yet. I went over the windshield and then the hood. As I flew over I intentionally grabbed an arrow and stabbed it into the hood of the car and held on for my life. The car was in automatic autopilot so it just kept driving. I felt the most scared I ever had in my life. "CRANE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs for his attention to come help me. I looked over my shoulder and saw that he turned and noticed me. While he was looking at me Zephyr shoved him out of the car. Zephyr's car didn't have a roof either. I watched Crane fall farther and farther until he disappeared. I screamed in fear, sadness, and anger. "I'm right here." He said, while he was in the car, he had teleported back. He purposely tried to make me think he had fell to his death. "That wasn't funny." I said to him. "Yes, it totally was." He said. He reached over the windshield and held his hand out for me. I grabbed it and he pulled me up. Once I was back in the car I looked for Zephyr, he was gone. "He got away, AGAIN." I said angry at myself. "Yeah, I had to save you." He said. "Thank you." I said. "You're welcome." He said. He drove downward back down to the ground. "We lost him, for real this time. No tracker, no hideout, nothing, not even a leed." He said. "I'm sorry." I said. "It's not your fault." He said. Then we went home. I felt bad, like it was my fault. Later that night he told me something. "We'll find him again. We will give him justice. He will pay. It is going to come." He said. "I'm glad." I said.
