Run on Shadow's Edge

Forensic Jorge Velez is on the heels of a series of murders but the events unfolding may have already happened. His team found intertwined events, unusual evidences, strange disappearances, time lapses, and feeling of 'deja vu'. In order for them to truly find out what is happening they literally need to run towards the shadow's edge and fell 150 meters below. -------- Did he just walk inside a top secret military program? Where is Dr. Molina? What is his purpose in inviting him? The electric noise was literally raising all the hair on his arms. There were sudden huge sparks that could literally fry and it randomly  hit the floor and the tall ceiling above. What is this place? There is something massive going on and he needed to understand what this is all about. "Impressed?" A man behind him asked. It was Dr. Molina. He removed his goggles and grabbed Jorge's arms. "I could see you are in a confused state. Come inside the briefing room." Confused is an underestimation. Jorge was literally in a state of shock. Inside the briefing room, Jorge's hand was trembling as he drank a glass of water together with his medication. He needed something to calm himself down. The voices he heard in his radio, the message from Colonel Riva, and this massive thing in front of him is just too much to process in the blink of an eye. He needed to slow down. "What's going on?" Jorge's asked as Dr. Molina pore over the result of many of his experiments. "What you see is what you get Jorge. It's the real deal. A time machine." Jorge felt his breathing stopped. He heard it loud and clear. A T-I-M-E machine.

The Troubles Inside Lyca's Mind

"Jorge, wait up!" Lyca shouted as she climbed the stairs. Jorge was at the top of the stairs holding his gun. He was panting hard, his face flushed and sweaty. They were in pursuit of a shadow they could not recognize. Who is this man? Why won't he give up? He waited at the back of the door for Lyca to catch up. She, too, ran out of breath, but she was persistent enough to deal with their unknown adversary.

At the top of the stairs, Lyca signaled to Jorge that she would back him up if he would barge in. Jorge counted with his finger, and at the count of three, he forcefully opened the door at the top floor level of the building and aimed their gun at the surrounding's emptiness. A multicolored neon light near the top of an iron structure flashes the word "Palindrome Hotel." The night was still, and all one could hear was the faint echo of a siren from a distance.
