We waited to make sure that Mr Daniels was gone before we proceeded, Auntie Margaret possibly might not recognize the baby, looking from the way we organized her in the basket and the clothings, the letter was kept on top of the baby, the necklace inside of it. After we were done there, then we knocked on the door and immediately escaped from view.
We made sure we stayed hidden while we watched, on opening the door, she was taken aback seeing the baby before her, her hand was placed on her chest, probably beating fast, inside that letter were two contents, one that needed to be destroyed after reading and one that is meant for little Ember to remember her parents.
If Auntie Margaret had known it was Williams baby before her at first, she will definitely contact her husband about it out of joy, but by reading the contents, she will realize and see a reason not to.
Seeing the shock on her face and watching her cleaning off tears which was streaming down while still standing in front of her home, that's when we decided that our job here is done, in that content of the letter, Willy here made her know it was really him, writing down few memories only them knew about like he said, he told her what a man Mr Daniels was and his involvement in almost eliminating him, many things were written in that second letter which ended with, destroy after reading, for security reasons.
“ So how did you really come here?, You never told us about this, have been hiding those kind of information from us.....”, he asked, eyes on the road as always. “ I had to, especially now, I have found more reasons not to tell you.....”, I said to him.
I shouldn't just tell him that the little girl she did everything for was here because she wanted to kill herself, he wouldn't be proud to hear something like that, instead it would make him bitter, bitter that after everything which even took the life of his beloved wife, I still wanted to end it all.
She turned around to me, I can tell that he saw the look on my face because he swapped the question with something else, “ You don't have to make that face Ember, just relax your mind and you'll find peace within....”. He tried cheering me up, despite knowing that I am really quite not the laughing type.
We drove to a house, one that has that abandoned look, over grown trees on the walls of the building, all hanging around. We got down from the van as I was about to follow him inside, but he stopped me saying that in there is someplace I definitely shouldn't enter, somewhere not made for me, he requested of me to stay back in the van while he made his way in.
Knowing I have to be on alert when he shows up, so I tried keeping myself busy in the van, bringing out recordings written all by Caro here. The more I listen to her songs and lyrics, the more vivid her memories becomes, I was lost in her flow,not noticing when Willy has passed in front of me until I heard the sound of the van door open. Looking by the side, I saw him climb up, but something doesn't look right, he wasn't looking motivated like before, he wasn't looking like he got this, the look on his face shows that he's kind of lost on what next to do, before I could get to speak, he began pushing his palm on the van horn repeatedly, directing all his anger to the horn button, before he ended it up by slapping the stirring, “ F**k!...”, he shouted out of anger, then tried to relax, to force himself to calm down, I was just lost and confused.
“ What happened Willy, why are you pissed off?...”, I asked him, trying to get some information out of him. He stretched his hands up, opening the small locker at the top of the van, bringing out a file which looks like it has a lot of content hidden in it.
“ We've been after this people for a long time..... We all knew all they've done, we've gathered some evidence, things that should be able to pull them down, but they all still believed that it's not yet a strong evidence to proceed with the case, now I have lost my wife, her death was definitely not a natural course, she was probably trying to heisten up so Daniels wouldn't meet up on you guys, now she has lost her life because of the pain she put herself through, all because of that evil bas***d..... If they're not going to proceed with this, then I believe I would handle it myself.....”, he said out loud, anger in his voice.
“ I know we're in grief about Caro, but don't you think that this was the actual reason why I lost you?, Don't you think that little Ember needs you, she needs to have a father, she wants you in her life, do you want her to also live miserably like I did?, Do you want her to know nothing but suffering, is this really worth trading her happiness, trading her well being?.....”, I pressed, trying to talk sense into him.
“ If it's worth keeping her safe, then why should I worry about the other things, if she will get to become a beautiful girl like you are, what else would I wish for, where you lived a life where my own past wasn't after my daughter's future, what else could a father want if not the safety of his child?....”.
I was left speechless, knowing that I really can't seem to convince him on this, knowing that he's adamant and willing to repeat whatever had happened as far as he believed that it was the reason I happened to be here on the first place.
“ This is to our advantage Ember.... If this works out right and you happened to go back to the future, which I believe would definitely happen, find this van, check right at this box, if you promise to fight for the justice of me and your mother, take the files you will see back to the agency, they would know what to do with them.... If you promise me this, then I'll stay back and look after Ember.....”.
Looking into his eyes, I can see he was willing to sacrifice this for me temporarily if I will get to end the fight at the right time, I can see the heaviness of his eyes trying to do this for me, “ I promise ”.
