You're Replacing us?!

Week 3

Paying my Uber driver, I quickly jump out of the car and rush into the building, nearly running Wyatt over coming through the door. He quickly grabbed hold of me keeping me from tumbling to the floor in my hurry to get inside. From somewhere deep and dark and scary inside of me came this very girlish little giggle. Wyatt just held me and looked at me with clear confusion and concern written on his face.

"You ok Lucy? You look very flushed. Have you been drinking? You didn't drive in did you?" He looks out the door behind me presumably looking for my car, which was not there.

"No, I took an Uber. And so what if I had a glass or three of wine, and a mimosa or 2. I am perfectly capable of historying us through whatever Emma has planned this time. Though I'm not really sure what that is because I didn't make it to that part. Stupid phone interrupted my reading..." I am clearly rambling at this point and Wyatt is looking even more concerned. Though I'm not sure if his concern is for me or for the mission. Either one would be a cause for concern at this point. But he just leads me further into the building.

"Come on babydoll, lets go get you some coffee then find Rufus." I somehow managed to make it through the briefing with Agent Christopher without bringing too much attention to myself and made it to wardrobe to change. Thankfully Jiya was there to help me. We were going somewhere in the South before the civil war. To be honest the only thing that went through my head when she was talking to us was Gone With the Wind. Something about some meeting with some historical people. Maybe that third glass of wine was a bad idea after all. Then we climbed into the lifeboat. Wyatt helping me the whole time, asking me if I was ok. Then we were gone. Let me tell you alcohol and time travel do not mix well. I barely had a moment before I got out of the lifeboat before all the wine and mimosas were coming back up. Next thing I know Wyatt is there beside me holding my hair back and rubbing soothing circles on my back. After a few more minuets of me spilling my guts all over the South I sat back against the lifeboat and look up at Wyatt with a small smile.

"Well, now I know how you felt that first mission to the Hindenburg."

"Alright come on lets get this over with so we can get you home to bed."

"Wyatt! Your supposed to at least buy a lady dinner before getting her into bed."

"Dude, how drunk is she?" Rufus couldn't help but stare at me like I was an alien, and to be fair he's probably not far off at this point.

"Drunk enough... Lets make this a fast trip." The mission itself seemed really quick... though to be honest I really just don't remember much of any of it. Highlights; we didn't die, we didn't get shot at, and I got to wear a gorgeous dress. Low points; We never found Emma, still not sure what may have changed, it was really hot in said gorgeous dress. By the time evening came and we made it back to the lifeboat to see where Emma was I was exhausted. SO ready to just get back and climb into bed. And possibly read more of the journal. So it was a huge relief when we got into the lifeboat to see that Emma had already gone back to present day. Once we got out of the lifeboat we were once again on our way back to wardrobe then to the conference room. This time however there were a few extra people hanging around the conference room waiting to hear our report. The most prominent, to me at least, was Dave Baumgardner. Seemingly back from the dead. I was so relieved to see him I instantly ran towards him capturing him in a hug.

"Dave!"

"Ma'am?" He responded wrapping me in a very confused and awkward hug. The greeting reminded me that this Dave in front of me most likely doesn't know who I am. I pull away and back up towards where Wyatt and Rufus are standing near the door "Lucy's Fine"
