What Ian Did? (1)
Ian spent the better time of the night before, after Shelby had left him, going through the portal he had reluctantly opened on the vast computers in his cold room. The more he unearthed, the more pronounced his frown became.
His mind wandered back to the proceedings of that day, trying to link the details that he remembered vs what Shelby had told him and also the details that were now on the screens before him.
His heart plummeted down to his stomach, leaving him with a sinking feeling in his chest.
'This can't be happening!'
"What happened then?" He dropped his head into his palms, allowing his mind to wander back to that day five years ago.
