We met up in one of the many empty offices not long after Matt reviled that he was from the future.

"I've looked into Prospero's property portfolio" Matt tells us.

"And?" Abby questioned him.

"Last year Philip bought a decommissioned power station, tell me what that's about?"

Obviously Abby and I don't know about the power station because Connor won't talk to us, it's like Philip has some kind of magical power over him.

This caused Abby to sighing "Let me talk to Connor".

"I don't think we can risk that" Matt sighed and shook his head.

"But if he knew Helen was in any way involved with Philip, he'd have nothing more to do with him".

"You're letting your emotions cloud your judgment!" 

"Ohh, what like you did with Emily? Or how Acacia did with Becker?" Abby fought back.

"Guys there's a bigger fish out there than our relationships" I tell them just wanting the fighting to stop and to find a plan on how to stop Connor and Philip and the next thing I know the red light and the alarm blazing stopped everything. 

Walking down the corridor ahead of Matt and Abby but could still here the conversation, Abby apologising for the low blow of mentioning Emily but of course Matt just wants to forget about her but Abby wasn't  having it and found some information about her.

"Emily made her way home and that's all that matters, okay?"

Without realising we had walked down the corridor that contains Connor's lab, letting Matt go ahead while Abby and I knock on his window to see him continuing to work ignoring the alarm, at one point he would have been the first one out the door. But realising that we won't leave him alone he reluctantly got up and let us in.

"Hey" he says as he goes straight back to his computer "I just want to finish something here quickly".

"What are you working on?" Abby asked him a bit rushed "I though the data calculator was all signed off?"

"Oh, this is um, this is" at this point Connor was struggling to tell us either the truth or to lie "one of those things I can't talk about".

"Oh!" Abby sighed.

"Sorry, just, it's going to be good though" he tells us as he looks over the papers on his desk.

"You are coming out with us, though, right?" I asked, moving of the wall I leant on when we walked in, not walking to mess any of his paperwork.

"Yeah, of course. This is part of me job, too" Connor says.

"No, Connor this is your other job" Abby tells him as he lifts his head us "Matt, Acacia and I have to cover for you lately, people have begun to notice".

"Do you know what? You two are right" Connor sighed as he puts his pet away "I'm sorry, my bad, okay, I'm just going to" and what does he do but puts a couple of pieces of paper on top of the paperwork he was looking at which made Abby and I more suspicious. 

The three of us ran from Connor's lab to the main room to see Matt there and Jess busy getting the information.

"No running in the corridors!" Lester yells after us.

 "Sorry headmaster" I mumbled causing Matt to smile a little.

"Coordinates, 56,21.9,2,48.8" Jess informed us as her vice becomes confused at the end.
