Wylock appeared on the ground, breathing heavily.

Roger knelt down next to him. "You ran into Leo, didn't you?"

Wylock nodded, cringing.

Roger ran into the next room and returned with a small glowing blue box. He placed it on Wylock's chest, and activated it. The machine hummed quietly, then stopped. Roger moved it out of the way and inspected Wylock's wound. It was completely healed.

"What do we do now?" Roger asked, slumping back against the wall.

"We need to start over. The timeline is still looping randomly. We must tread carefully now." Wylock warned.

"And we need some way to prevent Leo from tracking our Time Jumpers whenever we bounce about."

"Right. Him. I'm just wondering Wylock. How are we--"

"Stop talking Roger."

"What's the matter? I just wanted to--"

"Shh! Look!" Wylock whisper-shouted, pointing at a pencil that had just rolled off a nearby counter.

Roger frowned. The pencil floated up to the ceiling.

"Physics is--"

"I know." Wylock frowned, sadly. "Do it. We'll have to try again."

Roger pulled a gun out of his pocket. "It's reoccurring."

He shot Wylock. Then himself.

Once again their mistake had caught up with them.
