Isn't that a nice thing to say? I'm Kathryn Sinclair, Elaine's heroine in Blue 52. Here's a scene from the book describing futuristic elements.
“Leave me alone,”
Kathryn mumbled, but the phone didn’t pay any attention to her. It just kept ringing like crazy. “Oh, all right!” she cried. She grabbed the darn thing from the bedside
table and made sure she turned the picture and hologram feature off. I don’t
want the whole world to see me in bed all bleary eyed with my hair standing on
end.
“Hello?” she
croaked.
“Kathryn, it’s
Bill Curtis.”
Kathryn sat
straight up. “Good morning, Mr. Curtis.”
“Have you seen the
news this morning?” he asked, ignoring her greeting.
“No, I was still
asleep.”
“Guess what I’m
looking at right now?”
Uh oh. He sounded mad. “Er… well, I…”
She heard a big
sigh on the other end of the conversation.
“Kathryn, I told you to stay away from Hank Lovinggood. What were you trying to do, seduce him? That’s no way to get him involved in Double
T.”
“It isn’t what you
think,” Kathryn cried. She explained to
Curtis how her meeting with Hank had come about, deciding that honesty didn’t
obligate her to tell him she had visited the Lovinggood mansion. I’ll
confess if he asks me a straight question, but I hope he never finds out.
“I don’t guess you
had much choice,” Curtis admitted. “If
you had refused it would’ve looked bad.
So, did Lovinggood mention anything about Double T?”
“Not really, but
he still thinks I’m crazy.”
Curtis
sighed. “Okay. I’ll call his grandfather on Monday and try
to talk to him. I’ll see you then.”
Kathryn wanted to
go back to sleep she couldn’t. Most
laypeople probably did think time travel was nothing more than a fairy tale,
but as a trained scientist she knew better.
Chaos theory notwithstanding, I know that mathematical principals shape
the universe. If you do your equations
right, only your technology limits you, and I’ve worked that out beautifully. At best,
I offer the Lovinggoods a lifetime with their loved ones. At worst, they might find and punish the
people who killed Hank’s parents.
Yes, accidents can happen, but some things
in life are worth a risk. I mistakenly thought
Hank would feel the same way. If only the
Lovinggoods would cooperate with us! They
might have an idea who killed the president and his wife, so they could use
their time in the past far more effectively than I can. They’d have a better chance of getting in to see
the president too. You can’t just walk
up to the door of the Oval Office and expect the president to see you.
Might as well
forget about it until Monday. She had
some Christmas shopping to do.
And coincidentally, who do you think I met while I was out shopping? Yep, Hank Lovinggood.
