I can't tell what really happened, neither of us knew, by neither, I meant me and Caro, because two of us were the once that came back together, Williams whereabouts is still unknown. Caro didn't have any money with her, neither did I, Ryan was the one who called the cab for us, he paid with some little amount he had to make sure we got back home, he's quite too young to look after the three of us, I included the unborn child, Ryan himself stayed back to know what was happening, quite brave for a young boy. Williams handed us over to him to protect, it was as if he believed Ryan can protect us despite his young age, either way, he did his job well, he hid us inside one of the changing rooms for entertainers and we spent almost an hour or half an hour in there before he helped us to leave. Sitting in the restaurant right now, we were still about to open for the day, Williams never came back last night, and yet he's still not back yet today, we are still waiting. Caro wasn't feeling relaxed, she's just in thought since last night, wondering what really is going on. Why would Williams had to be on the run, we were just there together when he left, the next time we saw him was when he was trying to protect us, now his whereabouts is totally unknown, can't be found. “ Clarissa, go and turn the open sign on the front door for the customers to know we're ready....”, Caro ordered Clarissa as she went for the door. She came back after some seconds, but looking like she had something to say. “ Auntie Margaret is here, she didn't allow me to turn the open sign, she said she has to see anyone in here....”. Immediately, Caro went out to go meet her and I followed suit. I still believe there's something huge that I don't know, Auntie Margaret here was the same one I grew up with, this can't be a coincidence, sometimes I can't just believe that I am somewhere else out of the world I grew up on, this Auntie Margaret was younger, rich and looking really great than the same woman I knew who was working herself out just to feed a family she never had. “ Can someone explain to me what is going on here?, Why is my brother tagged wanted in today's paper?...”, she asked, looking pissed and confused, Caro took the paper from her, after some brief look at it, she let it fall to the ground, she was about to fall back herself too, her body too strong for her leg to carry, I caught up with her, Auntie Margaret herself was fast enough to offer a helping hand to pull her up. Fresh tears came running down from Caro's eyes, like she was really taken aback by what she saw. We helped her to sit on one of the customer's chair as I picked up the paper to see what was there, it was an image of Williams on the front paper, right here, it's written wanted, showing that he's still alive wherever he is, I believe, but something else caught my eyes, something I never saw coming, something out of the box, the date on the paper wasn't the same date I was living in, the date on the paper was 16 years ago to the date I came from, that means something else is going on, something I don't know. I wasn't too shocked though because I knew that many things are different since I came here, everything is different actually, why shouldn't the date be too?. But one thing feels off, is this really a coincidence or something happening on purpose?, How can I come sixteen years back to before I was born, what is really happening that I didn't know?, Was I in another world or was I just back in time?, The environments I saw when I came in here was different to one I lived on, if I was really in the same world, but in a different time zone, then that means the buildings that were never there and those that were there replacing them all changed because of development in the area, I guess so, sixteen years is enough to build what was in the area I came from. The Newspaper doesn't say about what Williams might have done, it just declared him wanted, saying whoever sees him should report to the police, that means he possibly did something bad or it was an allegation because the Williams I know is totally not the kind of person that would put himself in such a situation knowing that he has a family he is to look after soon. I kept the newspaper away from Caro's reach and sat beside her where auntie Margaret was standing a bit behind. Auntie Margaret's presence here never felt even a bit weird to me, I never liked her, she never seem to care, but knowing that she called Williams his brother, knowing that she's related to Williams means that I am here for a reason, this is something that have already happened before and I shouldn't really interfere with it much, or maybe this is a chance for me to turn my own future around because of the misery I was living in, either way, I am just not here by coincidence. Caro didn't take the News lightly, we happened not to open the restaurant again, best it's left closed for today while we handle internal matter we know nothing of. Auntie Margaret has already left, Caro asking Clarissa and the other to skip the day too, she and I were the only ones remaining, she possibly can't ask me for space too because there's no where for me to go. We were inside the kitchen area when we heard a fast knock on the entrance door, like someone was in a hurry or something, Caro and me shared the same look, without waiting for her order, I knew something I have to do, I immediately made my way to the door.
