My thoughts turned to my mother’s favourite hymn, one her grandfather had often sung to her as a child. I recalled her saying it had given him comfort in the trenches, that hope remained even in the darkest of times.

Hope seemed so far away when I was face-to-face with the Future Predators. All I could see was my own death and…

I started at a noise beside me, my heart thudding in my chest and my breathing harsh gasps. I felt arms wrap around me as I was held against a firm chest.

“You’re safe. I’ve got you, James.”

Thank goodness, that interrogation mark in the title got me extremely worried. That better be Becker, though, remember I still have the pointy stick *g*

Hee. Had to be an question mark for the title. *eyes pointy stick*... Becker is certainly a possibility.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks, I did wonder if it was a bit of a cheat as it doesn't explain how...

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for looking at it, I wasn't sure if it was too much of a stretch.

Thanks for reading.
