A New Breed of Cop

An Epilogue of sorts…

Six years later, Danny returned home from work. He had just endured what could only have been described as Sid’s latest sex-capade. And it hadn’t been pretty. But it was all in the name of saving the human race, right?

Instead of slumping onto his bed, he headed down into his basement.

A couple of years ago, he had bought a new place – a second house just outside of the city, which only Flack knew about.

He flicked on the light.

A figure on a bed stirred at the unwelcome light. “You’re back late,” it told him.

“I think it’s time we moved you out of the basement,” he told the figure.

Lindsay frowned. “What about the others?”

Danny shrugged. “In two years, no one has found out about this place. I can’t let you stay down here any longer. I won’t.”

Lindsay continued to frown. “They think I’m dead.”

“Yeah,” Danny agreed, joining her on the bed.

“They need to keep thinking that,” she insisted.

“They will,” Danny told her, pushing her backwards.

Lindsay pushed him away. “You brought me back by reading that card. We didn’t change the future.”

Danny smiled reassuringly. “Sid is still whole, and Adam is still human. Flack’s covering that one.”

“Danny, no one can know I’m alive! There will be too many questions that we can’t answer without everyone knowing what technology is possible.”

“They can continue to think you’re dead. But I don’t have to.” He leant down and kissed her. “And talking of Sid, he’s given me a great idea,” he grinned evilly, before shedding them of their clothes.
