After checking into the hotel Nick began to relax. It didn’t look too bad. A little basic and in need of redecoration but it would do until he found a place to live temporarily. Nick just hoped that the building that became the Legacy Foundation’s main headquarters was up for sale. And if it wasn’t just yet? Nick would have to think about that.
Nick glanced at his son, who was now sleeping peacefully in his arms. He lay him gently down on the single bed, hoping not to wake him. There was a small TV in from of him. Maybe he could find the date from that. He glanced at Cai for a moment, wondering if he should put the TV on. He didn’t want to wake him if he could help it. Maybe if he kept the sound low it might be alright. Nick just hoped the TV was easy to operate. The sets from his time were quite different from this one. And a lot thinner. He hadn’t seen one like this in a long time. And then only in a museum.
Nick stood and approached the TV, looking at it, trying to work out how to turn it on. He picked up the remote control and began pressing buttons. Eventually, the TV came to life. He stepped back so he could get a better look at the screen. Once he worked out how to change the channels he began searching

until he found a news channel. This one had a date in the corner of the scream. Nick stood to take a closer look and stared at the date. He had arrived seven years too early.
Nick sat back down on the corner of the bed. How could this have happened? Something had gone wrong somewhere. Now Nick would have to alter his plans. Some things might not be how they were supposed to be if he had arrived in the time he was supposed to be in.
Nick took out the tablet from his backpack and turned it on. It was an old tablet from his time. But here, in this time, it probably hadn’t been created yet. He just hoped it worked good enough. Once Nick had connected it to the internet be began to do his research. When Nick finally turned the tablet off, he had enough information to set his new plans in motion.
17 YEARS LATER – 2025 – DARKMAN
Cai stood by the door of the pub he had just left and looked around him. Which direction had he came from again, and where had he parked the car? Luckily, alcohol didn’t affect him like it did the humans so there was no chance of him drink driving. Although the alcohol was still in his blood, but he wasn’t drunk and never could be drunk.
