Captain Canary: (Book 4)

Chapter 18: A Dead End

"So you think it could possibly be them?"  Snart asked Sara.  The two of them were both sitting in chairs at Snart's desk in his office.  A sign hung up that Sara made.  Stating do not disturb.  Since they didn't want anyone coming in and interrupting.  Finding out what they were up to.  Nobody at Leonard's work place knew what he was.  That he was a time traveler.  And traveled on the time ship the past five to ten years.  Before he and Sara got married.

"It is a high possibility.  They were after you because they thought you were an anachronism.  And they were probably under Ava's orders to finish what she started.  The time masters were unde Savage's rule.  It is possible as well that so are the time bureau agents..  Under Ava's rule.."  Sara stated.

Leonard let out a sigh.  Leaning back in his chair, and burying his face in his hands.  Getting a small headache from all of it.  Sara turned her head glancing over at him.  Letting her hand rest on his arm.  "Hey..  This will get all straightened out.  I suggested to Mick that I can find Rip.  He might know something since he once worked with them."

Leonard pulled his hands away looking at Sara.  "Are you sure?  Rip hadn't been working with them for awhile now.  He seems to be on his own these days.  They probably booted him out of the building once they learned he was helping us with Abby and myself."  Sara gave a small shrug.  "Perhaps..  But it can't hurt to ask."  She said.  "I suppose that is true."  Leonard responded.  "The question is how to contact him.  He may not even be in this time."

Sara grinned a little.  "He doesn't have a time ship anymore.  I'm sure he's around this time somewhere."  Leonard looked a bit unsure.  "But he might've kept the device of the time bureau's allowing you to travel anywhere.  Any time.."

Sara remained quiet a moment thinking.  "We can always head back to the ship.  Maybe Gideon might know where Rip is."  Leonard nodded.  "I guess that's our best bet."  Leonard stood up.  Extending his hand to help Sara.  She glanced at him giving a small smile.  Placing her hand in his.  She kept her eyes on Leo's as she felt his hand close around hers.  Watching as he leaned forward giving her a kiss on the forehead. 

"Let's go."  He said.  Starting to make his way towards the door.  He opened it, removing the sign and setting it on a chair nearby.  Then the two of them exited out of Leo's office and building.  Towards the wave rider. 

"Two visits in twenty four hours.  You must really miss us."  Gideon's voice piped up."  Sara laughed a little.  "We have some ideas we'd like to hand out to the team.  Are any of them available?"  She asked.

"I'm right here."  Sara turned to see the professor.  Giving a smile.  Hugging him back as she felt his arms wrap around her for a hug.  "Everything okay?"  He whispered.  Leonard raised his eye a bit hearing the professor whispering.  Rolling his eyes.  "I'm right here professor."  He mumbled.

Martin stepped back so he was glancing at the two.  "What did you two find out?"  He asked, knowing why they were here without Sara needing to explain.  "We haven't really found out too much more.  We were hoping we could use the ship to find Rip.  We have some questions for him.  I'm sure Ray and Mick filled you in on our ideas."  Sara responded.  Martin nodded.  "They did.  And of course.  You know you don't ever have to ask."  He managed a small smile.

Sara smiled in return.  "It's your ship now captain..  I don't want to step out of place."  She smirked.  She noticed the amused look on the professor's face.  And he couldn't help but laugh.  "Well.  That is something that you could've learned a lot sooner Sara."  He teased.  Sara chuckled a little.  "Gideon..  Can you get the whereabouts of where Rip might be?"  She asked.

""I believe mister Hunter is unreachable at this time.."  Gideon piped up.  Sara let out a small sigh.  "He must be in another time.  Is there a way where you can signal him once he reaches back to this era?"  She asked.  "Yes misses Snart..  I mean Sara..  I can contact captain Stein as soon as I know."  "Thank you..  Gideon.."  Sara looked back at the professor.  "You can contact me once you find something out right?"  Martin smiled.  Letting his hand rest gently on Sara's shoulder.  "Of course.  We will do whatever we can to help.  We will remain here as much as possible.  Between missions.  To figure out whatever this is..  That's going on with Leonard.  I promise."  Sara managed a small smile in return.  "Thank you." 

Martin gave a nod of his head.  Glancing between the two.  "In the meantime..  You two make sure you're careful won't you?  And be safe?  Make sure Abby and Lisa.."  Leonard gave a small grin.  "I'm always careful professor.  And don't worry..  Whatever this is..  If we figure out it's someone else tampering with my memories.  And not an effect because of the explosion.  You already know both Sara and I will not allow anyone to get anywhere near our daughters."  Martin's smile stayed on his face.  "I know you wouldn't..."  He stated.  Letting his thoughts drift off.  Leonard and Sara both, would die before anyone got to Abby or Lisa. 

"We should be going."  Sara said after a moment.  "You take care too..  Won't you?"  She asked, looking the professor straight in the eyes.  She felt Stein pulling her in for a hug.  "Of course."  He said quietly.  After a few seconds, the two pulled back from the hug.  Stein gave the two a nod of his head.  Before Gideon opened the door, and the two exited out of the ship.
