I woke up from the bed, Caro lying next to me, she was at least this time and I am really grateful that she is, I was listening to her sobs last night, she never actually sleeped in the middle of the night, she was just in pains, thinking about her man who's out of reach for the moment. Though Williams might've told us that he was coming, without his presence here, it's still not a good News, not to anyone of us, we all are worried about him and yet doesn't know anything to do to help him, he's just out there alone, trying to solve an issue none of us saw coming.
I allowed Caro to have her moments last night, if she wakes up this time, she would have already accepted the reality and be ready to handle whatever it is that is coming, she definitely doesn't know that I was awake too, she tried muffling the sound of her voice, her tears, but that can't be possible, not when we're lying on the same bed and she's broken in half.
I got up from the bed, took some few moments to watch her deep in sleep, yeah, she needs it, she needs that rest for her health to stay in the positive lane. I walked out of the room, hearing some voices downstairs, like two people I can say, trying to speak in a way where we wouldn't get to know what they were talking about, it's auntie Margaret and the other voice was a man's voice, I didn't want to cause any awareness because they were whispering between themselves.
I know that I shouldn't be hostile towards auntie Margaret, she didn't do me any wrong, she even took me in, looking from her position right now and the future where I lived with her, I am beginning to feel sympathy towards her, but the hostility is just there like always, she was never part of my life and yet, we live under the same roof.
“ I was worried!.... You never even called earlier, I was even thinking what if something has happened to you, what would I have done?...”. Auntie Margaret's voice sounded too low like she has just broken down in tears, something I hardly saw from her, she has always been a rocky lady without a heart, that's what I always saw in here.
“ I'm really sorry sweetie.... I told you that it was an emergency and won't happen again, it just came up all of a sudden....”. It was a man's voice, probably her husband trying to explain to her something within them, guess I have to go down there and say my greetings.
Auntie Margaret's back was on me while her husband was before her trying to cheer her up, the man haven't seen my face but immediately I saw his, I hid immediately, I know him, I know the man and from where I know him from, we're not safe here.
I sneaked upstairs, I have to go get Caro, I believe we're relaxing inside danger by coming here, if we're anyplace right now, it's the wrong place and it's the wrong time. This was the man Williams saw in the cinema, he told me to stay there and wait while he went after the man, the man were with a group of people, he was in there midst as he was speaking to them about something while they walk past my sight, I knew that something was fishy when I saw Williams sneaking up behind them, but I took it as nothing, Williams was never a trouble maker, so I believed he was sneaking up at them for his own personal reasons, but seeing what is happening now, I have a strong belief that this man is involved, I now believe that him being away from home got something to do with Williams disappearance.
“ Caro wake up.... Wake up Caro we have to leave!”, I tried calling her up, she looks too exhausted to get up right now, she was way too tired right now, probably because she stayed awake all night crying. I have to be careful not to complicate things, since the man didn't see my face, I think I should stall our departure and act like nothing was going on, I have to pretend not to know anything until Caro is physically fit to go again.
A knock sounded on the door, taken aback by the knock, I almost flinched, heartbeat pounding so hard as I stare at the door, the knock sounded again, I know that I have to stand up and go open the door, but that same door is the exact thing protecting us from whoever that man out there was, I am finding it hard breathing right now as shock went through me. The knock came for the third time, this time quite aggressive, getting me on my feets automatically, walking to the door, I am too scared right now that I am screaming inside my head but silent outside, how did we ended up here?, The fact Williams ended up as wanted in the newspaper shows what a powerful home I am standing on, one which the door is my only guardian from danger.
“ What took you so long?, I'm beginning to worry, thought something might've happened or something, can someone just let me stay in peace?.... ”, she said, standing before me worried, I was thinking that it was the man at the door. Auntie Margaret came into the room and came to check up on Caro who was still fast asleep.
Should I tell her what I know?, Should I tell her that we're in danger right now?, That her husband down there was not the man she might thought he was, that man there have something to do with Williams disappearance, her brother's disappearance.
“ Hello!.... Heard the heavy knock and came to see whether everything was alright....”. I turned around to see him standing right behind me at the door....Oh God.
