A secret agent, that hits hard, I would never have thought of that, never came to my mind, even as an option. I can't forget a single word he said last night, he told me things about him, things I never know, things only Caro would know. All that was a classified information like he said, but said he had to share with me because he needs someone to trust now, if the world is after him, he should at least have someone that brings him peace and also care for his new born baby, which I seem to be in that category right now. He's not in the van when I woke up, little Ember is still asleep right by my side, quite happy to see she wasn't the type of baby that gives you sleepless nights, she just get to sleep with no worries, sleeping in peace, something I never had since I was a baby, quite envious right now. I got down from the van, seeing Williams seated on the floor outside, his back resting on the wall as his eyes were on the newspaper he was holding, smoking. Caro wouldn't be happy with this,just like he once told me, but either way, I should just allow him peace, he just lost his wife and has to get his mind off. He looked at me, then looked back on the paper he was holding, should I speak with him or just allow him?, I don't know. I just went and sat down by his side, seated silent, allowing him to know that I am always here for him even though we possibly might not get to speak much because he seem to be in grief. “ I hope you had a great night?....”, he asked me. I turned looking at him to see whether the question was genuine. His face was blank, no sign of any emotion like he was just numbing all the feelings washing through him. “ Not when we're in this situation, I have to stay in alert ”, I replied. “ Sorry for taking your peace away....”. Is he just apologizing, he might've misunderstood what I really meant, “ No!... I don't mean it like that, I am trying to say that I was just on alert, that's just something normal for me Willy, I have never had peace before, tonight wouldn't be different....”. He looked at me, staring right into my face, as if to know whether I was just saying that to make him feel less guilty, he smiled, making that face that shows she understood exactly what I was now talking about, he slipped his cigarette in between his lips and smoked in. After some time being there, we went back into the Van and drove off. He said something about being under the protection of his fellow agents, saying that the news got nothing on him, except for the fact that the ordinary civilians will now look at him the bad way, something he has always been avoiding, getting people's attention. “ I have a plan Ember, I am trying to do something but had to wait until Daniel's leave his home. I want to take little Ember back to auntie Margaret's place, having the baby with me won't be safe, not when I am in such a critical situation, I can possibly protect you because you have been already involved in this, Daniels knows your face, but as I heard, he never saw my child, so I wish to take her to auntie Margaret, when all this is over, I will take her back, but for now, she has to find safety first.....”. Was I hearing him right or was that just playing on my mind?, He's trying to take his new born baby to her Doom, where she and himself are possibly being hunted down. “ That sounds like a ridiculous plan Williams, I think it's best your people take care of your little child than auntie Margaret, common Williams.... Your fellow agents possibly know the kind of situation you're in, they possibly have headquarters for groups or association like yours, I think....”, I said to him, complaining to him that this is definitely the wrong idea, his people are surely well trained and are ready for situations like this. “ You're totally right Ember, I know that too, I believe my baby would be 100% safe with them, but here's the thing, every decision comes with a consequence for it.... They might protect her today, only for them to use her in the future, this is a dangerous game which I don't want her to be part of, ever..... She has to live a free and peaceful life like a normal person, live a life away from the kind of people I work for, I wouldn't want her to put her life in danger in the near future only because she has got to follow the footsteps of her father, they'll make her a tool rather than a person..... Margaret would be the last person Daniels will think of, I have plans for this already, took me the whole night to decide this, Daniels believe that I am not going to be that stupid, so bringing my baby to his home will never cross his mind ”. Listening to that, I think he really is making some sense, if Daniels believe he's not a stupid one, he's a well calculative person, then he possibly wouldn't see this coming, because he's about to trick him, I just hope he knows what he's doing. Williams packed the Van by the side of the road, brought out a pen and paper as he began to write something down, I waited until he was done, I took his letter to read all he has written down, that's when it got all familiar, I know this letter, I have seen this letter, I have read it before. I looked at Williams out of shock and saw him brought the same necklace I have always known out, trying to place them inside the letter, all his focus on his settings, that's when the word left my mouth. “ Dad ”.
