Over the coming weeks as Amy got herself resituated to not only living here at the house, but also to helping me out in ways that I never thought of before, one of which was trying to find the source of why everyone hated the hell out of me. On that I doubted she would ever find the source, but one never knew, and I knew that personally from all of the worlds that I had visited.
About a month after Amy was fully settled in, she came into my office room since I had the door wide open letting everyone know that they could come talk to me if they needed to, of course at the moment there was only Alexis and Amy and that was it. However Amy didn't know the truth about Alexis and she hadn't asked, so I hadn't bothered to say anything to her on it.
"I think that I might've found something that might be the reason for the hatred that is geared directly towards you." She said as she stopped in the door way and leaned on the frame.
I turned around to face her away from my computer that I had set up, and it was displaying information on not only the dimensional worlds at the current time, but also the time lines for each of those worlds as well so that way I could monitor them and know if anything went wrong. Of course if anything did go wrong, that would be something that would be hard to pick out for someone that hadn't spent time in each of the worlds that I was now looking at. I nodded for her to continue.
"So I was looking over all of the data and information when it came to the levels of hatred that had been at the highest level when you had been here before you had left, and then the sudden drop off after you left, which took place literally the moment that you, as you put it, leaped to your first world. The hatred had been worldwide, however it was all centered right here in Contra Costa County, right in this city of Martinez California. No way in the world could that ever be a coincidence." Amy said as she looked at the note book that she had in her hand.
Despite everything that I was bringing over to this world that were more advanced than anything that was on this world at all, Amy still insisted on hand writing everything down and keeping hard copies of everything. "Well if that happens to be the case Amy, then where in town is everything centered on and located at?" I asked her.
Amy consulted her notes for a second before looking up and saying only one location. "City Hall."
Ok that right there floored the hell out of me, the one place that was the most centralized here in Martinez, and that's where all the hatred against me was literally coming from, that couldn't be right could it. "Wait you're telling me that something at City Hall is making everyone on this world hate me?" I asked her.
She looked at me. "Well I doubt that it's going to be a big poster with a camera on it saying 'Hate Alex', more likely something connected with satellites is doing it. Like a dish up on the roof connected up to a computer system there that actually doesn't belong on this world and is something way different from what you have set up anywhere here at all." Amy finished.
I couldn't seriously believe what Amy was saying, that there was some sort of computer system over at City Hall that was causing all of the world's hatred to be directed solely at me. Then I realized something. "Wait a minute, you said sudden drop off when I leaped, what do you mean by that?" I asked.
Amy looked at her notes. "I was wondering that myself so I looked at all of the records of the time, and it seems that whatever had a grip on the people completely left when you left yourself and till you came back never appeared again, like there was a sudden switch had been thrown and everyone was completely different or the lock they had was gone. I think that whatever system was set up couldn't find out and so it just shut off. When you and Alexis came back the system slowly started to wake up again and that's why the people were slowly starting to hate you again. However there was a small section of the population that was never effected by whatever was controlling the rest of the world." Amy finished explaining.
A lot had been answered right there by what she had told me, things that I didn't and hadn't thought of before I had left. I know that the hatred had been centered on me to the point that I had just hidden myself away till that lightning bolt had hit me and then I eventually made the suit and guilder that I left with, but now that I was back, I knew that I was going to have to deal with everything, not that I really wanted to, but I also knew that I had no choice in the matter when it came to the entire subject. There was now just one problem that I had to deal with and I didn't have any clue how to deal with it at all.
"Well now that we've gotten that figured out, there is one thing that we need to figure out, and that's going to be the bear of the problem. How do we get into City Hall to shut down the source of the hatred that's been affecting everyone on the planet, after all I doubt that they're going to just let me waltz right into the place and say 'Gee the system you're looking for is right this way', I mean come on here." I said.
Amy looked back at her notes. "That's something that I was also trying to figure out, and I still haven't been able to figure it out either. However I'm still working on it right now." She said as she turned and went back to her room and that had a mini laptop sized version of what I had in here.
Either way, I knew that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park, and I knew that I had my first major enemy on this world that I was going to have to confront sooner than I had thought.
