D is for… (#AtoZChallenge 2012)

D is for Dylan Roberts

(Post 4 on my WIP)

Jamie’s best friend has a background in quantum physics (self-taught of course) and he now teaches practical use of time technologies as well as further researching their advancement.

Jamie and I had been at the same school for years but we met at Police Cadets. Together we developed time technology; we were the first two scholarship cadets through the academy (yes we still had to go through the same regular training as everyone else) but we both made Sergeant within six months of graduating.
I’m more of a technologist but Jamie loved being out in the field and he sparked off the adventurer in me. Once we had more technologists trained up I partnered him in the field. It was on our third mission back to the sixties, that the incident happened. I don’t remember it. I only know I made it back alive, barely, and the commander had to go back to collect Jamie’s body. Both of us remain in the academy now.
It’s odd having Jamie’s little sister here, reminds me of all the times the three of us spent together. Reminds me of what we lost.

Christopher Gorham as Auggie in Covert Affairs reminds me of Dylan, though Dylan is not quite as much of a ladies man (image from imdb.com).
