“Ok fine, I am fed up already” Molly exclaimed, packing her purple hair with a purple rose bow.“They have gone for a long time now” Dustin stared at her, standing at akimbo.“They? Matilda’s been kidnapped and you… who are they actually… you are talking about?” Steve turned to Dustin.“My mum, my past mum”“She’s fine. Even if she… she’s… she’s just fine”“Time travel is crazy” Molly added and sighed slowly.“Where are your parents after all?” Molly asked and stared at Steve.“Ion know” Steve answered weakly and relaxed comfortably on the sofa.“Tired of this shit… no video games?” Dustin asked Steve.“Lemme check” he stood up from the sofa and headed to one of the rooms in the house.“I’mma… follow him and go check something with him… maybe a clue or maybe ummmm…”“Whatever” Molly said and interrupted Dustin who was standing and ready to follow Steve. They got to one of the closed rooms and Steve opened it’s door.“What is this place?” Steve asked.“What? I don’t know, I s
Steve and Dustin came to the parlor and met Molly drinking and watching television.“Is that vodka?” Dustin was surprised.“Uhmmm” she sighed and took a short sip.“When did you start… uh ‘Scream?” Dustin eyes caught the television.“Yeah, the first one was really great, the rest sucks” she replied with a soft breath.“We found something” he said to her and she looked at him, then to Steve who was standing beside Dustin, holding the device.“What?” she said to Dustin.“I said we found something… something in some underground warehouse in one of the room in…”“Dust what? I ain’t seeing anything that is worth finding and telling me. Are you tryna ruin my mood or what? Is that it?” Molly stared aggressively at Dustin.“Oh my God Molly” Dustin scoffed confusedly.“Yeah I thought so”“No Molly!” Dustin exclaimed.“That’s possible”“It’s liturgical and annoying”“It’s what?” Molly stared at him.“No… we… we really did find something… useful” Steve stammered. Molly and Steve glance
Dustin followed Molly after a long stare at Steve and met her sitting on a little chair in the secret room which leads to the underground. He sighed and breathed down heavily after putting his hands in his trouser pockets. He quietly sat on the ground besides Molly and cleared his throat. Molly looked at him and focused on the picture she was watching.“You know you can talk to me about anything anytime right?” he looked at her.“We didn’t grow up well like other kids” Molly said slowly.“What? Why’d you say that?” “You said I can talk to you about anything anytime”“That’s not what I meant”“I know” she chuckled and Dustin joined her.“I’m sorry” she said and Dustin looked at her.“About what?”“For not telling you about Cebus. Cebus… Cebus is like, my lifetime dream. I could even meet Billie Eillish there or more celebrities there” she added and sighed down.“Yeah”“I couldn’t have done what I did… I could have told you first before dad. You could have told me not to tell
“Okay this is the plan, we go to the museum, we wait till a buyer purchases the clock. Mrs. Brooks you will confront and confuse the buyer and his crew, if he or she has one”“Why me, why should I do that?” Mrs. Brooks asked Eunice.“Because you are pregnant, they won’t hurt you”“You sure about that?”“It will be fine mum, just trust the process” Matilda joined.“Okay” Mrs. Brooks sighed slowly.“Then, I and Matilda will join in like emergency cross stuff or as full hospital nurse and help you up after you pretend to be sick after having a jam with the buyer”“What?”“So… we could have a chance to grab the clock”“Is that all? Is that the plan?” Mrs. Brooks asked Eunice.“What?”“That doesn’t sound like a plan at all” “Okay tell us yours then” Eunice stared at Mrs. Brooks and Matilda.“Sick” Matilda sighed.“Look, what if… what if we just borrow 10,000 bucks from a bank or any rich business man and buy the clock ourselves from the museum instead”“Mum?”“What? It’s a great ide
“Wakey wakey little prince the school bus is coming, it’s speeding speeding speeding up and you don’t want to miss it. The driver won’t wait for you, he is always angry because his own kids missed hi bus. Wakey wakey little prince the school bus is coming. It’s speeding….”“Oh stop talking” Matilda groaned tiredly, covering her ears with her pillow but the electronic parrot kept singing.“He is always angry because his own children missed hiiiiisss” the electronic parrot hissed on the floor after Matilda attacked with her shoe which she threw at it.“Gross” she sighed heavily, climbed down from the bed and headed out of the room barefooted. Scratching her messed up hair, she headed down to the dinning.“She’s out, she’s awake” Steve said slowly as Matilda was approaching the family.“Mum, I didn’t tell you anything” Will whispered to their mother.“It’s okay darling, I got this”“Mum” Will simpered slowly.“Hey sweetheart, are you…did you just come out of your room barefooted?” their
Matilda was at the café with Steve, both wearing the designed apron. Matilda was at the counter pouring the tea while Steve was busy serving the customers. A skinny teen about her eighteen and his brother who was same age with Steve came into the café and sat on the table beside the door. The boy was carrying a blue back-pack “Two cups please” Molly said, after a soft yawn. “Coming here is not a good idea Molly, we discussed that we are going home straight” Dustin said to Molly. “We won’t waste much time, just a hot coffee” Molly said to him. “Relax, nothing is ever going wrong, we are at a safe place. I don’t even trust that clock” “You don’t believe it?” “It’s not real until I see it happen” “Molly, I told you that it can only work if...” “Hey!” Molly interrupted. “Coming” Steve said, heading towards Matilda. “Theirs?” Steve pointed at the cups of coffee in a little red tray. “Yeah, for the two kids” She groaned. “I’m leaving” Matilda added. “What? You are lea
Matilda, Dustin, Steve and Molly came out of the café and headed east.“Where are we going to exactly, if I may ask?” Molly broke the frustrating silence.“Home” Matilda replied slowly.“What do you mean? What home?” Molly asked again.“Our house, she means” Steve answered Molly.“To do what? To go and sleep? Or do you guys have a painting house, maybe we are going to your house to paint? We should be looking on how to get our stupid asses out this boring past” Molly rushed with scoffs.“Look Molly, if you fucking know any other stupid way to get your stupid fucking ass out of here, then do it. I will fucking do my own my way” Matilda turned to her spoke to her face.“Do you even have a plan? Weirdo”“To meet my mum and talk to them”“To meet your mum in this past? You think she will remember you or is she s fortune teller?” Molly smiled.“Come on Molly, let’s stick to the first plan. If it doesn’t work out then we look for other ways to get out of here” Dustin whispered to Molly.“
“Did I become a professor? Like…like I always wanted. Forget about the café, I was only opening it for your mother” Brooks said to the kids that were sitting on the sofa at the dinning of the house.“You are a manager Dad” Steve replied.“After all my school?”“Please Brooks family, how I get back to my other life? I’m bored here” Molly interrupted.“I have a date mum” Matilda said and Dustin stared at her.“She already knows. Will told her this morning” Steve replied.“What?”“My daughter has a date?” Mrs. Brooks smiled.“Yeah, the one in your belly” Molly hissed imperceptibly.“What did I, I mean we.. we name you?” Brooks asked Matilda.“Matilda” Matilda replied.“See? I won” Brooks chuckled.“Steve” Steve dropped.“Nah we don’t know you yet. No competition for your name yet” Brooks said and Matilda cleared her throat.“What?” Steve winked at Matilda.“Sorry, I’m gonna ask this question again. How the fuck do I get back to my life that I lived this morning? This place is fucking si
