Not In Time (CHAPTER 1: Part 2)
 
Dawson's POV:
 
I immediately left Pres's car to look for Hans right away. As I was walking here, I immediately saw Hans in a tree. I ran towards him. I wondered why he was just dumbfounded while facing the hammock that was there and looking at his phone. I shook him until he came back to his senses.
 
"What are you doing, Hans?" I am really wondering what's happening right now.
 
He looked behind me to see where the hanging cradle was before saying... "Where's Jarred?"
 
"Huh? I should be the one to ask you that. Aren't you with him?" I asked him. What he said next was even more shocking and confusing.
 
"Well, he was just here earlier. It's confusing that he was swinging the cradle and he was talking to someone there even though there was no one around," he explained.
 
"How come he's here? I've been shaking you there for almost three minutes because you're dumbfounded. Jarred isn't here," I said while getting annoyed.
 
"How come he's not here? I was talking to him before you shook me," he said, and he's confused too.
 
"Huh? Now it's getting crazy. When I arrived, you were already dumbfounded while looking at that post of his." I was annoyed when I told him, and he looked at his phone. "Did you take that picture?" I asked him again.
 
"No, as far as I remember, I just arrived a while ago around 1:02 pm," he said, which made me even more confused.
 
"What? Well, that was almost an hour ago. It was also the exact time when he posted on Facebook, bro. Then how did you just arrive around 1:02 PM when it's already 2:12 pm?" I told him impatiently.
 
He was obviously shocked when he looked at the time on his phone.
 
"It doesn't make sense, bro. Promise, I just arrived a while ago. Then I saw Jarred here, and he's talking to someone and swinging the cradle, but there's no one there. I even approached him. He even talked to me. He said his mother was with him while pointing at the cradle, but no one was there. I was wondering, but I told him that we were going to Ryle's Mansion. He said that he might not be able to come anymore because he and his mom are going somewhere." Hans obviously felt uneasy and seemed really confused while he was telling the story of what happened earlier.
 
Our conversation was interrupted when Pres came panting. He ran towards us while shouting our names.
 
"Jaydi, Hans!" He shouted loudly.
 
Unexpectedly, his words shocked us even more.
 
To be continued...
