"The timestamp format. Our IT system uses a specific format for access logs. This format changed fourteen months ago when we updated our server infrastructure. The logs here are using the old format on dates that fall after the update." My lawyer leaned forward. "Say that again more slowly." "Before the infrastructure update our logs showed timestamps in a format with the date first then the time then the user ID. After the update the format changed to user ID first then time then date. It is a small difference but it is consistent across every single log in our system after the update date." I pointed to the document. "These logs are dated six weeks after the update but they are using the o

Time: 02:17 AM. Marcus whistles quietly. “That’s definitely the crash date.” But now that I’m looking at it… I see it. The mistake. “No,” I whisper. Marcus frowns. “What?” I point to the date again. “That’s the wrong format.” Adrian leans closer. “What do you mean?” “The system clock.” Marcus tilts his head. “Okay, now we’re in architect-turned-forensic territory.” I zoom in on the corner of the display. “The internal dash system was imported from Germany.”

There must be a loophole in the code that I was missing. For the entire day, I worked on it. I read countless documents and read almost all the codes available to me. I even studied client records to see if something like this ever happened before. And to my surprise, it did! I suddenly noticed that there was a pattern to it. A very similar pattern. In the past four years, there were almost nine clients that left us because of a mistake in the final document. That was strange. How could this happen? And the errors happened from the tech department sometimes and sometimes from the legal team as well.

“And that says that today is the fourteenth of february.” “Fourteenth of February? Way prep?” No. It couldn't be. Way prep was the first in-school practice tournament of the semester and we had already done it. Yesterday was the fourteenth of March. “This can't be right.” “I know. It's complicated, like… like we've somehow gone back a month in time.” “What is this? The futuristic ages? There's no way we can die and come back a month… a month in time, that's crazy.” He rolled his eyes. “If you have a better explanation I'd like to hear it.”

I'm going to kill you, you b*tch! The scene completely descended into chaos. The two women rolled across the ground fighting each other. Hair was torn out, clothes were ripped apart, and screams filled the air. After Diana exhausted herself, she climbed off Mia, panting heavily. The makeup on her carefully maintained face was ruined, and her hair was in complete disarray. She suddenly threw herself at my feet and clung to my leg. "Celeste, I was wrong to accuse you! Please don't call off the engagement! The Alvarez family can't lose you, and it certainly can't lose the McKenna family!"

I stare at my phone as I begin to play Sudoku. I hear the wheels turn and pull to a stop in front of me and I hear the people around me getting up to get on the bus as it pulls up. I stand along with them and put my phone in my pocket. Considering the buses are supposed to arrive every ten minutes in this busier area of the city, this bus is late by at least 142 seconds. May not seem like much but eventually, the numbers begin to add up to a lot of wasted time. I take a seat toward the back of the bus, in front of a man reading a newspaper with the ugliest brown hat on I've ever seen. This guy clearly does not have a wife or a girlfriend, because if he did they'd have burned that hat for him

“I was—I was busy.” “I was busy too, and I was in different time zones every forty-eight hours, but I make time to answer your calls and if I miss any, I call back,” he said in an annoyed tone. “Have you ever been in a relationship before? Did you not think I would be worried sick if I did not hear from you within a twenty-four-hour period?” “Now, you know I’m okay,” she said. She had to remind herself that she was going to break up with him. “You can go back to Paris now. I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused.”

It seems to cool the burning heat that still swirls deep within my stomach. Time glances at me, raising an eyebrow. “Disappointment.” “This wasn’t meant to happen. Just because I’ve seen a few flashbacks to your old life, doesn’t mean that I can trust you. It doesn’t mean that I should stray from my initial plans,” I comment, leaning my head against the wall in defeat. Time frowns as he falls into his seat, looking at me curiously. “Initial plans? You’ve had plans this entire time?” he questions. He doesn’t look offended, just curious. I shrug mindlessly. If waiting this out until I can get back to the current time to find my brothers is a plan, then so be it.

He directed me to the spot I was supposed to meet him at after agreeing to do this. I watched him sit and pull his phone out before disappearing out of sight. Chad I turned my left wrist to a prone position so I could see my wrist watch and Coburn what the time was. It had been over an out since Nikki went into that building hit she was tet to return. They were testing my patience and it was just a few screws left before I completely list it. I suhed and stood to my feet to check what was going on. I didnt think minimal face painting was supposed to last that long, it wasnt as if she was getting married anyway.
