      Chapter 1 – The Chase

      I ran down the alleyway with my gun drawn.

      Freeze! I yelled, but the murderer that I was chasing just kept running. I cursed under my breath as I continued the chase.

      It was only ten minutes ago when Edgar Brown, a local politician, was making his speech. I was one of the cops that were on duty; in front of the stage, but not on it. In the middle of the speech, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I didn't know where he came from, since I wasn't watching the stage. However, as I was scanning the crowd for any suspicious activities, I heard a surprised shout from behind me, and when I turned around, there he was, standing right next to Edgar Brown. Without missing a beat, the mysterious man shot Edgar Brown point blank in the head and ran.

      We gave chase.

      Somehow, after wading through the crowd, I ended up being the only one still on the shooter's tail.

      In the alleyway, the shooter turned a corner and suddenly, there was a bright light coming from where he had ran to.

      I slowed down as I neared the corner and backed up against the wall. With my gun ready, I peered out.

      A swirling mass of light was in the middle of the air. It was expanding and a picture was appearing in the middle of it. From where I was, it seemed like that a picture of a field and clear blue skies was forming in the middle of the swirling light that was now an oval shape and as tall as a person.

      Next to this levitating, light-framed picture was the killer, pressing some buttons on a device strapped to his wrist.

      Wasting no time, I leapt out of cover and pointed my gun at him, shouting again, Freeze!

      Of course, he jumped into the picture.

      I stared disbelievingly for a few moments before I ran after him and jumped into the picture myself.

      Suddenly, I found myself falling. There were wreathing waves of different coloured lights all around me, and I was falling towards a bright, white light, which got brighter and brighter as I headed towards it.

      I landed on the other side, just as the light disappeared behind me.

      Looking around, I found myself in the middle of an open field – the same open field that I saw in the middle of the light. In front of me was the murderer with his hands up. I looked around and saw that we were surrounded by the police and their... hovering cars?!

      Chapter 2 – 79 TTE

      Not knowing what to do, I did the instinctive thing: I took out my badge and put my hands in the air, Same side!

      The other cops arrested the shooter and a man in a jacket with the letters T.P.A. (everyone else had bulletproof vests labelled 'POLICE') removed something from the shooter's wrist. The man with the T.P.A. jacket approached me. Hello James, good to see you again.

      I looked at the man, trying to remember who he was, but failing to. Um, have we met?

      Well, I've already met you, but this would be the first time that you've met me.

      I stared at him with a bemused expression on my face and said, What?

      I am Agent Matthew Lam, from the Time Patrol Agency. He held up his badge. On the shield was an
