Page 22 of Oracle Returns: Time will Stop

The whole team was back together again and in the same freaking city.

And that wasn’t good.

Not for any of them.

Chapter Three

The Office

Friday

Evening

Almost Nine P.M

Well, this was definitely a surprise, and absolutely not the people she was accustomed to seeing on a daily basis, or hearing from them. Bishop couldn’t remember the last time she saw these two people in the same place together.

With her.

These particular Marines did NOT make house calls, or at least they never had here in Salem.

This was a flash to her past.

Family was here.

It appeared that Maura and Jagger had been called up by Oracle, from their new lives, and that both helped her relax, and scared the shit out of Bishop.

Why?

If Oracle was calling everyone back, was this going to be a permanent thing where they all went back to their jobs helping Avalon and Nate?

Were The Phoenix Files reopening again?

God.

She hoped not.

That was the last thing she wanted. Both she and Lucian had begun a life here, and while, currently, it was in tatters, and torn, it was still her existence now.

This was home.

They’d made this from nothing together, and she was accustomed to being a cop.

A wife.

A mother.

A Littlemoon.

The last thing she wanted was to see that taken away and then having to move around working on files while life passed them by.

Since she wasn’t inviting them inside the business, Maura went there.

It wasn’t lost on her that Bishop looked traumatized.

Welcome to the club.

When they heard Oracle in their heads and then got the address, they weren’t exactly thrilled to be doing this.
