On Wednesday January 12th 1955 Dr. Barkwell is going to
deliver Janet Shane?s baby. As soon as he hopped into his
car he was held at gunpoint by a strong blond man and was
told that he wouldn?t be delivering the baby tonight. This
incident allowed Laura Shane to be born a healthy young
girl. When Laura was born her mother died at birth, but it
only mattered that she lived. Ever before Laura was born
she had a guardian looking over her making sure that she
lived a long and happy life. When she was eight years old he
saved her life for the second time at her fathers work. A
madman was robbing them at gunpoint. They had already
given the man all their money when he decided that he was
going to rape Laura. The mad man would have had his way
except for her guardian Stephan shot the man saving the day
and then set there story strait for the police. She did not see
her guardian again until her father died about four years later
from a heart attach. He did not have to save her this time but
he was just watching her. After the Grocery store incident
she didn?t see her guardian until twenty years later he
stopped her in the middle of the road and took her and her
family off the road to safety. He saved them from a drunk
driver in an n out of control truck. That wasn?t the only thing
he saved her from that time but also from one of his former
college named Cocauscha that he had crossed. In that act of
saving Laura her husband Danny was killed from gunshot
wounds in the back. Stephan killed Cocauscha by shooting
him in the chest and once in the head but this was not the last
he saw of him. Stephan traveled with a time belt that could
only go into the future, his belt was unable to send him some
