Chapter 25: Day 8.

I spent yesterday away from the restaurant, stayed at a church all day, trying to keep the baby safe. They would definitely go after me, would probably be on the lookout for me at the restaurant, I know that Williams is definitely trying to reach us by now, but it looks impossible for the meantime, no one is going to pick up the restaurant phone when he calls, and I have no private phone where he could still get to contact me.
I just sat there at the church, quite scared of what might be the case when the new born baby starts crying. I know nothing about new born babys, I have never taken care of one before and I never cared too because I never saw myself in that position, the level of my loneliness back from the future where I came from, I never saw myself around anyone in the future.
It's all a different story over here, ever since I stepped in here, I have been unlike myself, I have been opened up, speaking with almost everyone like it was something I was always used to, quite mysterious to me or anyone who was watching, I can say.
My eyes opened when I saw a figure in the same long church seating I laid on, little Ember still in my hold as I pushed myself up immediately, it was no other person than someone familiar, one I never knew was close even after this load of trouble were taking place, Ryan.
“ I always come to this church this days around this time, probably my routine right now, but never for once have I seen you here. You know, the last time I came here, I prayed that I will meet up with a beautiful girl, a girl of my dream, everyboy in my class has a girl of their own, one they always talks about and praise how good and respectful they are, but mine was actually a different story because I was picky, so the last time I was in the church, I asked God to provide for me a girl, a girl of my dream, a girl who's loving and respectful. I happened to follow my Dad to swimming the next day, that's when I got to see you, I asked for a girl, but instead, I was directed to an angel..... So I came here to say thanks today, but to my surprise, here you're again, as if we were almost meant to stay at each other's side ”.
He finished with his speech, one which kind of got my heart melting away, but no, I have some other problem, some serious problem that I have got to find a way to solve. 
“ I'm grateful for all you've said Ryan, I really appreciate your honesty, but I have a bigger problem with me, the last show your Dad hosted has brought ruin to my family, Williams hid us away from danger, but until now, he's still out of reach and it's eating us up, talking about that, there's a bigger problem too....( I brought forward the child), this is Williams new born child, he haven't seen his new born daughter yet because he's on the run, Caro asked me to protect this child because she was in a terrible condition yesterday and I don't know her situation now, I am just hiding here because the restaurant would be way too risky for me, giving the way we're being chased after.....”.
He looks concerned, probably have nothing to do about it, but at least I believe I should tell him, he has to know, he was there when it all began. “ Your Dad came to the restaurant before, the day after Williams went missing. He told us that he's going to do everything in his power to resolve the whole issue, but I haven't heard from him yet, maybe you should speak to him about it, help us clear Williams name, he's innocent....”, I begged Ryan, little Ember resting on my laps and my hand holding Ryan's.
“ I know this is something between me and my Dad, this that I am about to tell you will change everything Ember, but hoping on my Dad is a lost hope, the only thing he thinks of is business, he doesn't care about people's life getting in danger or killed, as far as my Dad is making an income, whatever else around doesn't matter to him. You see, he had to bring me along to the restaurant when he came with that deal, he saw the way I clicked with you on the swimming pool, then decided I will be part of his game. My Dad doesn't care whether Williams is safe or not, all he cares about is the money he earns, if a father can use his son to get what he wants, what else will he find valuable again?, I know this is just an assumption, but I can tell you my Dad got so much of his hand in this situation than you can imagine, he's my father, but he's not a good man....”.
I was shocked, sitting there, watching him speak so cold of his biological father, what of me that never had any, I guess it's because he never know what he has until he loses it, he shouldn't speak ill of his father, Mr Karl Johnson definitely has his reasons for his actions which little Ryan here actually doesn't know much about.
“ I would love to go to the restaurant Ryan, I would love to stay there and wait for Williams phone call, if only I could get him to know where I am....”, I said, looking at him, looking at his face, as if I was waiting for a validation from him to proceed with this quest, despite the dangers lurking around.
“ Stay back here Ember, I will help you with that, they're not after me, so they won't come after me, I will wait in there for Williams call, then direct him to you ”.
