there."

Wyatt had made his way over at some point. He startled the doctor as he asked, "They didn't let you wander about their base of operations?"

Tenley glanced over her shoulder at the man. She swallowed her nerves. "I was allowed in the infirmary, my room, the training room, and where the machine was kept...But outside of that? No..."

"Training room for what?" Wyatt asked. Denise turned her gaze over to him, silently warning him to stop. He ignored her. "What did they train you for?"

Tenley's brows furrowed. "To defend myself - "

"Against who?"

"Wyatt-" Flynn warned.

Wyatt tugged at the sling his arm still rested in. "Defend against who? Us?"

She shook her head. "No-"

"Then who?" Wyatt interrupted.

"For God's sake Wyatt," Flynn shouted. "Give her a chance to answer your stupid questions!"

Agent Christopher glared at the soldier. "Wyatt? Go away." The man opened his mouth to retort but she shot him a warning glance. He finally walked away, shaking his head all the while.

Tenley turned her gaze slowly away from Wyatt and back to Agent Christopher. "Am I a prisoner here?"

"Why do you ask that?" Denise questioned.

"Because I can't help but feel like I'm being interrogated," she admitted. "And after his questioning, I can't help but wonder if I'm the enemy here."

Flynn shook his head. "You're not the enemy nor are you a prisoner."

She looked down at her hands which were folded neatly in her lap. She struggled to believe any of them at the moment.

Agent Christopher saw her hesitation. She could see the questions racing through the doctor's mind. She couldn't blame the girl. Her welcome reception was less than friendly and warm.

Tenley sighed, pinching the bridge to her nose. "Look, if I knew anything-"

Before she could finish her statement, the bunker alarms blared overhead. Tenley's head snapped up, glancing over at the others who were rushing to the console with the computer.

Jiya climbed into the chair, swiveling around to type madly at the keyboard. "Santa Barbara. May 30, 1955."

The team turned to Lucy who cocked her head to the side as she thought about the date. Finally, she shook her head. "There's nothing..."

"Be careful," Agent Christopher said, approaching the team. "Whatever they are planning, you need to be on guard."

"I think," Flynn began. "I should stay behind on this one."

The others stared at him in disbelief. Wyatt's gaze turned over to Tenley before scoffed. "Fine," he said, removing the sling from his shoulder. "We can handle it without you. Just like we did before."

Flynn held the man's gaze, unflinching at his words or tone. He didn't care what Wyatt thought of him. Lucy twisted her lips in thought before nodding.

Denise nodded. "Okay. Get going. Be careful, please."

Wyatt marched over to the Lifeboat, climbing inside. Lucy gave Tenley a small smile before following Rufus. They watched as the hatch closed and the machine whirred to life. The blast of cold wind whipped around them as they disappeared from sight.

Jiya glanced over and sighed. "They forgot the transmitter." The red light on the end of the pen in her hand dimmed and turned off.
