Forever Timeless

Chapter Thirteen

Lucy POV

I blew out a breath as I felt the Lifeboat land less than gracefully. Christopher had been discussing updating the Lifeboat with Rufus and Jiya, and when I heard I remember saying a silent prayer that it would happen. With the amount we were taking out the ship and the shots it had taken it wasn't in the best shape. I opened my eyes and unclipped my seatbelt before stepping out of the Lifeboat. We landed in a wooded area with a small pond to our left. I squinted through the trees at what seemed to be a road or trail a few meters ahead.

Rufus came to stand beside me and slung his satchel over his shoulder, "We ready?"

"Yeah, let's go," Wyatt said leading the way into the woods.

"So explain to me again what this mission is," Rufus questioned.

"Well in 1800 the election was between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Obviously Thomas Jefferson won. Christopher said that Flynn was going back in order to stop Thomas Jefferson from becoming president. I don't know how though," Lucy explained as they approached the gravel road.

"Assassination? He doesn't seem to have a problem with it," Wyatt muttered.

"Maybe," Lucy looks up and down the road before she begins to make her way towards the town.

Lucy led the way towards the buildings scattered at the end of the road. Wyatt and Rufus were close behind, both lugging a satchel over their shoulders.

"So, we are supposed to go to some party that Jefferson is supposed to be at?" Rufus questioned, re-situating his bag over his shoulder.

"Yes, Jefferson is being hosted at a large mansion where he can campaign and talk to his supporters. Flynn should be there if he wants to do anything to Jefferson. The party is in an hours. It starts at 5," I looked around as we enter the town.

The town was fairly crowded considering the size most likely due to Jefferson's arrival. As they made their way towards a small inn she allowed herself to become a little giddy on the inside at the fact that she would be in the room with Thomas Jefferson. Wyatt ushered her and Rufus into the inn and she watched as Wyatt passed a few coins to the man running the place. He returned a few moments later with a key in hand and pointed down the hallway before wandering down it himself. I trailed Rufus and Wyatt and as we entered the small hotel room she put her bag down and unzipped it. I reached in for a long light pink dress accented with white lace before heading into the bathroom to change. I discarded the light green and white dress in exchange for the more formal one. When I returned Wyatt was already dressed in a suit and Rufus was packing a bag with Wyatt's extra ammo and gun in case Wyatt and Lucy ran into trouble at the party and needed help.

"So you aren't going in with us Rufus?" I asked looking into the mirror at Rufus as she pulled her hair into an up-do.

Rufus zipped up the bag and took a seat on the bed,"Before the Civil War and Jefferson was into slavery. I'm going to hide outside of the house and watch for you guys in case anything goes wrong."

I nodded and finished twisting my hair up,"What time is it?"

Wyatt glanced at his watch, "4:30. Time to go."

I have a small nod and headed to the door beside Wyatt, "We'll see you after the party, Rufus?"

Rufus nodded and slung his bag over his shoulder, "Yeah, if everything goes as planned."

"See you then," I offered a small smile to Rufus as Wyatt and I made our way to the street.

As we walked down the small sidewalk to the brightly lit house a few streets down I felt Wyatt slip his hand into mine, "You good?"

I gave a short nod and kept my eyes forward," Yeah."

I couldn't ignore the sinking feeling in my stomach and it was beginning to make me unsettled. Wyatt stopped me as we approached the front of the house and squeezed my hand.

"It'll be okay," he muttered.

I didn't respond for a few moments, but nodded, "Okay. I know."

"Alright, let's head inside," Wyatt smiled and placed a lingering kiss on my cheek before took my hand again.

He led me into the large house confidently, but I couldn't shake the horrible feeling that had settled itself inside me. I tried to keep myself focused on the heat on my cheek from Wyatt's lips and the mission, but the feeling only grew as I stepped into the house.
