Good Intentions - A Life Is Strange Fanfic

Chalter 6: Recruitment

June 28th, approximately 8 months after polarized

He was unable to do it. He knew that they were on the other side of the country. Micheal knew that tracking down Max Caulfield and Chloe Price was impossible. He asked his superiors for an alternate objective. They gave him a job that was one of the most difficult. To find new time benders. Now a little known fact about timebenders, they always come in pairs. Just like Max and Micheal did. They could be anywhere. Micheal was in charge of the ones in east Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and all of Delaware. His first target lived in Dover, Delaware. His only Intel was that they lived on the sixth floor of the 'Rose Blande' apartment building. He set up an investigation and interviewed everyone on the floor. One interview showed promise. "Hello, Miss, uh" he asked for her name

"Patrick. Mary Patrick." The woman responded.

"Well, hello Miss Patrick. I have a few questions I would. Like to ask you about what happened on Sunday evening. Did anything... Extreme happen that day?"

"No... I mean.. Yes.. But... You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Miss Patrick, please. Tell me whatever happened that day. I'll believe you, I promise."

"Al-alright... So... So I was walking home from the store.. a-and then.. Then I turned around a corner, a-and then, next thing I know... The man walking in front of me.. Gets... Gets..."

"Gets?"

"He gets.. He gets struck by a car. I-I reached out my hand t-to try and-and-and save him b-but I knew I couldn't... But I just did... And when I did, everything froze for a moment. And then... Everything started to... To rewind. People walking backwards, birds flying backwards. Rain flying up. But then the man went back to normal, and the car was back on the road. I-I warned him to get out of the way, and he.. He actually listened. I saved him."

"Hm. Well, miss Patrick, you might want to come with me." Micheal stood up, as well as Mary. They made their way outside, and into a black limousine, similar to the one DiBaise had picked up Micheal in. The driver sped off onto the highway, with Micheal and Mary in the back.

"Where are we going?"

"Philadelphia"

"Oh..."

After an hour or so of driving, they eventually made it to the city. They exited the limo and walked to the timebenders HQ. Micheal eventually gave Mary the whole rundown and sent her on her way. He proceeded to DiBaises office. He knocked on the door

"Come in" DiBaise's voice beckoned from inside

Micheal opened to the door to see DiBaise at his desk doing paperwork. He looked up from the papers and greeted Micheal. "Ah! Private DelPosi! Please, have a seat." Micheal did as he was told and sat down in the surprisingly comfortable leather chair on his side of the desk.

"So, I hear you've rounded up our new recruit from Delaware." He said, before sitting down once more.

"Yes, sir. Should my next assignment be to find her time-sibling?"

"No, we have already found her, and our west coast headquarters is taking care of it."

"Wait, west coast headquarters? Sir, you're telling me that there's a headquarters for people like us in Los Angeles, but yet I'm the one who needs to track down Caulfield and Price?"

"Son, when I was first brought into this organization, I thought the exact same thing about my time-sibling. But the thing is, she's your time-sister. Only you can bring her in. It's not that you're the only one who we trust, but you are the only one. If anyone else tried, we would certainly fail. So it is up to you, and you alone, to do this."

"I understand, sir"

"You'd better understand, Private. You're going to need that wisdom for your new rank" DiBaise says, while sliding Private First Class chevrons across the table "Congratulations, Private First Class"

Micheal takes the chevron bin one hand, and forms a salute with the other.
