Chapter 1

Martin Briar leaned back on the couch, a glass of moonshine resting on the coffee table in front of him. He and his team had spent the last two weeks living in the same apartment building as Sonya Griffiths, plotting to either capture or kill her, ready to advance to the final stages of ending Chris Speidel’s life. He had admitted to his team, in the early days of their arrival, that his decision to fly out to 1933 Chicago was a knee-jerk reaction.

In a matter of weeks as the newly elected commander, Martin had endured the attacks on their Las Vegas hotel, treason from Councilwoman Murray, and the death of his lieutenant commander, Gerald Holmes. All orchestrated by Chris and the Revolution, and their sister organization of disgruntled Road Runners, the Liberation.

Yes, the goal had always been to capture Chris, but the urgency intensified once Gerald was murdered on Chris’s Idaho property.

“I can’t believe tomorrow is the big day,” Martin said, leaning forward to take a sip from his glass. The planning was done, and hardly any of it focused on their actual attempt to break into Sonya’s apartment. That part was straightforward: knock on her door with hopes of baiting her with a peaceful discussion, or if not, kicking the door down and barging in to take her. Either way, Martin was getting into that apartment. The plans they had formulated centered on what to do if Sonya decided to run. She had a new bottle of Juice and could slip away to a different era with a quick swig. The Road Runners had teams planted all throughout time at this specific location, ready for Sonya to appear.

Extensive research went into this matter, analyzing the trends of where Sonya liked to time travel, eliminating anything before the 1400s and after the year 2100. Seven hundred years was plenty of territory to cover, but they only required two Road Runners per year. While Sonya could travel to a specific date of her choosing, they presumed—and hoped—that she would rush her decision and request only a specific year, prompting the rules of time travel to transport her to the same exact day and time in a different year.

“We’re ready for whatever happens,” said the new lieutenant commander, Alina Herrera. “All possible outcomes are accounted for—we just need to execute and react.” Alina had spent every day in her new role plotting the eventual death of Chris Speidel, but had joined the crew in Chicago two days ago to review their plans and look for any vulnerabilities. Alina had been a Road Runner for over a decade, running missions in Central America to stop violence from the same drug cartels that had taken her father’s life in front her own eyes as a six-year-old girl.

She sat in one of two lounge chairs across from Martin, the other occupied by their top agent, Arielle Lucila. Between Arielle and Alina, Martin had two of the most talented minds and agents that the organization had to offer. Alina would stay back while Martin encountered Sonya, needing to remain safe in case Martin died, but Arielle planned to wait directly outside Sonya’s apartment.

They both had pistols lying on the coffee table. Alina smoked a cigarette in place of
