So here I am in a walk in wardrobe doubting I would fit into anything in here; it was all corsets and high heels, I could never see myself wearing any of this but if I wanted to 'blend in' then I was going to have to.

I settled on a well layered skirt with light brown and cream strips that fell to my ankles, the shortest heels that looked as though they would give the most support they were like brown and white brogues with a thick brown heel, a white blouse that had flowing ruffles by the chest and a matching corset that hugged my torso, morphing my curves to give the illusion that I had barely any stomach, I also had a cane that was elegant and made of ebony and had a glass top that had an orange type of dust? Flowing all around in enchanting spirals.

I was ready to endure the cold metallic world I was thrown into. In search of the lost.....

A question was just lying in the air waiting to be said..... Will we ever find them? Will we ever find the Professor, the thieves or the Mayor's daughter? Are they even still alive..?

Me and Benjamin decided to take a trip to the police station to see if they had any leads to the whereabouts of the missing and the time machine. We met with the sheriff and he seemed to have an air of authority, was mid-fourties, but I don’t know there was just something off about him that I couldn’t put my finger on.

I decided I'd bring this up with ben after the meeting with the sheriff, which I later found out his name was Landsly could give us no new news but I felt he was holding back....

 "Hay errm Ben? You know the sheriff we just seen...” I said trying to keep my voice down so people couldn’t hear us.  "Yeah, um sheriff Landsly?" Ben seemed sceptic of what I'd say next so I tried to word what I was going to say in the best way possible. "How long have you known him? Because I couldn’t help but get the wrong vibe from him as though he may be up to something shady?" It was as though I had diarrhoea of the mouth, I couldn’t help but make a judgement on someone I had met only once, I couldn’t help but feel ludicrous. But after taking a few deep breathes Ben just stared at me with a strange expression it was a kind of confused and maybe a bit of anger or disappointment? "Genevieve, I've known him since we were kids, I trust him, and he’s made a few mistakes.... But he’s a good guy" He said with a way, I felt there were undertones to his meaning.

 I started to think that maybe Sheriff Landsly was like two sides of a coin...
