How I survived the Titanic
New York, 1912 The Titanic trials were finally over, after a period of 6 months, there were only 21 passengers that gave an account of what happened that night, of which neither Josephine nor Maria were a part of, thus their part of events were not a part of the trials, nor a part of the “historical events” that would come in later years.

While I slept it off; 100 feet away from me...
It was a little after 7:00 pm when James Smythe came up aside the camper he had parked along Beach Ave next to the boardwalk, where it ended. He had just gotten off of a divorce case where he had to reveal to the woman that her husband was indeed having an affair with someone else; another man, which hit her hard. The whole fiasco was settled (as far as his part went), and he e-mailed the rather raunchy pictures he took to the wife who immediately copied them over to her lawyer.

A change of scenery 1 of 2
Part 1 of 2 James stepped out onto JFK Boulevard as the big clock on the Philadelphia City Hall tower hit half past eight. For all intents and purposes, the streets should have been empty and quiet, or at least not as congested as it was with traffic, but it was 8:30 on a hot and humid Friday night in July, and they were calling it the second heatwave of the year, with the first one happening a few weeks before in June.

A change of Scenery 2 of 2
Part 2 Somewhere in the Pennsylvania Appalachians It was just a little over a week after their conversation outside City Hall and Cindy had followed the GPS directions to the address of the cabin that James had inherited from his uncle. The cabin, as it turned out, wasn't so far away from civilization as she had led herself to believe, just far enough away to be secluded from all of the 24 hour chaos that the city brings. There was a substantial town not far from the cabin too, and they didn't seem to be technically stuck in the 20th century, so that was good.

The Brinks Heist
"Ok, we need to make every move count," the commander cried out as the full sized remote control jeep sped towards the Brinks truck packed full of explosives. It hit the back of the truck, and the corresponding explosion took out the vault-like door, and killed the two guards that were riding in the back instantly, as well as the driver. Before the smoke settled, three unidentifiable figures leaped out of a waiting van and pried the door the rest of the way open.
