follow the light James.”  With that the doctor rose to his feet and stretched out an arm to shake Faraday’s hand as he accepted the hand shake the doctor spoke. “We will be seeing you soon James, just try not to do any more harm to yourself before then. And don’t give up James we can still fix this.”
    “What do you mean?  She’s dead!”
    The doctor nodded solemnly once again.  Bobby was staring as if shocked by the words Dr Lewis had chosen.  “I’m sorry James I misspoke.  I just mean that you still have a lot to live for.  Think of your family, imagine if you had been successful today how would they have felt?”
    Faraday was silent. He hadn’t even given a thought as to how they would have reacted and how upsetting it would be for them.  To see their only die in such a horrific way was something they may never have recovered from.
    The doctor again broke the silence that had filled the room. “Anyway James time is getting on and I believe your father will be here in a few minutes.  But as I said we will see you soon.  Keep trying to read your books, distraction can be a wonderful thing.”  With that Bobby began to hobble towards the door followed by Dr Lewis.
    “Goodbye Faraday.” said Bobby.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 5
    As the darkness began to descend over Scotland, Bobby Stinson and David Lewis sat at the airport bar.  David had ordered a pint of Tennents from which he had taken a sip whilst Bobby had ordered himself two glasses of Jack Daniels with ice and a pint of Tennents.
    “You need to watch how much you’re drinking Bobby.”
    “What difference does it make?  It helps me sleep and soothes my hip.”
    “I know Bobby but how much more can your liver take!  How long have you been drinking like this?”
    “Well I guess the first time I drank to take away the pain was 1865.  Knife wounds can be a painful thing!”  Bobby winced at the memory.  The bastard, what he would have given to kill the son of a bitch himself.
    “I’m sorry Bobby I know you’ve been through a lot.  Do you still have the nightmares?”
    “Not when I drink.” Bobby smiled as he took a drink from his second Jack Daniels.  “So anyway do you think today will make any difference?  The kid was stoned!”
    “I don’t know Bobby but we had to try!  We planted the seed, it’s all we could do.  Did you put in the bookmark?”
    “Of course I put in the God damned bookmark, but even if he notices what can he do?  You can’t change the past, we both know that.”  Bobby nodded in the direction of the barman. “Same again please.”
    “Just because we failed Bobby it doesn’t mean that it can’t be done and Faraday is our only chance at doing the right thing”
    “But even then will it be us that are doing the right thing?”
    “I don’t have all the answers Bobby you’ve been doing this a lot longer than I have.  As far as I see it I’m finished.  I’m too old for this and I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to sleeping when this finally ends.  Maybe I’ll even see Sharon again, although I can’t say my faith is what it once was.”
    As the barman appeared with their drinks Bobby gulped down the first Jack Daniels.  “How long until the flight?”
    “Still another hour before boarding, then I guess that’s it mission accomplished.”
    “We’ve accomplished fuck all!  Faraday was a coward then and he’s a coward now.  Without the girl he’ll crack just like he did before!  How can we be sure that we haven’t done this already?!”
    “Well he would surely have mentioned it?”
    “When would he have mentioned it? We hardly knew him, how long was he even with us the first time?  It was fifty one years ago!”  Bobby yelled and then finished his drinks he then gestured towards the barman once more.
    “I think it was around two weeks Bobby, he had plenty of time.”
    “When he arrived you near enough
