People say death signals the end, but I always find that it sparks a new beginning. I've faced death numerous times and won, but this time seems different. The stakes are higher than ever. More people to lose than just myself. I've never backed down...
I love all the support you have given me through these books. Here's another update.
3rd Person's POV

"I feel like usually I'd be like Holy Arthur C. Clarke, but it's just so...cute." Chester exclaims as he looks at a weird obelisk at a crime scene.
"Mm, don't let it fool you, it may be collectible size, but this little guy is heavy." Cisco states.
"Two tons?" Chester asks in disbelief. "Boy, that's like, 20 baby elephants, which is also kinda cute."
"I mean, what do you think this thing's made of? And how does a shed just disappear?"
"None of it makes any sense." Chester stops talking as he notices Barry arriving at the scene. He nudges Cisco and they try to keep their friend calm. "Barry, I know this all seems bad, but..."
"Chester, this city's been through hell." Barry interrupts as he opens his CSI get to begin collecting data. "It can't take another emergency. Not now, not this soon."
"We just started rebuilding." Barry reminds everyone and he shakes his head. "I'm not gonna let anything ear us down again."
"Please tell me you boys found something we can use." Joe asks as he makes his way onto the scene.
"I think I just did." Cisco announces. "It looks like this whole crime scene is infected with serious temporal energy." Cisco furrows his brows. "Like the kind of carbon dated 43 centuries from now." Joe and Barry share a concerned look.
"As in the future?" Chester asks. "Wait, hold on, hold on. It's a thing, like a time capsule? Or maybe like a TARDIS."
"P-Runk." Cisco stops Chester's rambling. "You picked a hell of a day to start your CCPD-consultant internship. Yeah, this is definitely a time traveler." Cisco confirms for him. Chester is laughing out of glee.
"Oh, yes."
"Bar, there's something you need to see." Joe tells Barry as he leads him to the victim. "He's a guy who has a theatrical flair for killing." Joe lifts part of the body bag off the body to show playing cards embedded in the victim.
"Abra Kadabra is back." Barry states.
"Oh great. That explains all the shakin and quaking yesterday." Cisco adds.
"Ooh, time quakes too? Whoa, okay. So what's this Abra dude's deal?" Chester asks.
"Oh, you know, he's just your standard time-traveling, murdering, thieving 64th-century magician who uses embedded nanotech and calls it magic." Cisco explains the complexity that is their current villain.
"Four years ago, the Collector's Agency took him to be executed for his crimes. Somehow he escaped." Barry adds.
"Last time, he was hell-bent on stealing tech to build a time machine." Joe adds. "This time, he goes out of his way to kill an innocent person. Doesn't steal a thing. Now that's a pretty vicious escalation."
