Authors POV (Lost in Time) (PAST TENSE)

Phone Rings

Receiver: "Hello?"

Caller: "I thought we had a deal. What are you guys trying to pull?"

Receiver: "What! What you mean? Who is this?"

Caller: "Why is he here?"

Receiver: "I don't know what you talking about. I'm gonna ask one more time, who you are, if you no tell me, I'm gonna block you number."

Caller: "It's me got damn it Larry. Althea," she confessed as Larry paused on his response. "Hello, are you still there?" She whispered.

Larry: "Why the heck are you calling me?"

Althea: "You think I wanted to call you? Trust me I didn't."

Larry: "Again what do you want?"

Althea: "Why is he here?"

Larry: "Who my brother?"

Althea: "No the president. Damn it, Larry, yes your twin; Laurent he's here."

Larry: "Merde! And where she at?"

Althea: "That's the thing, they are talking to each other right now."

Larry: "Fuck! Why you let that happen."

Althea: "You watch your got damn mouth young man. Who you think you talking too?"

Larry: "I sorry. But look you have to stop them, or everything we've done will be for nothing and they will find out and hate us for sure. Wait, do they know?"

Althea: "I don't think so, I think the plan worked, but then again..."

Larry: "But? But what?"

Althea: "She's drawing pictures of him Larry and claims she doesn't know why. I'm scared they are going to-"

Larry: "No say that," he spat cutting her off. "Listen just stop them from talking."

Althea: "I'm afraid I don't know how Larry-"

Larry: "No, you have too. I gonna call Lau now. Please try to stop them."

Dial Tone.

Larry began to panic as guilt washed over him. He couldn't chance what was about to happen. He quickly dialed Laurent's number after hanging up on Althea. He could only pray he wasn't too late.

Laurent: "Oui frère? qu'Est-ce que c'est (Yes brother? What is it)," he harshly whispers. He was clearly annoyed. Lau's response kicked Larry's panicked into overdrive. "Oh shit! What if he knows?" Larry frantically thought.

Larry: "Lau, what you doing brother?"

Laurent POV (Time Stops Now) (PRESENT)

Why am I feeling this?

Emptiness. I can't remember the last time I went through such a period of my life feeling this lost. I rushed home determined for answers and Larry was my main objective to get them from.

Voicemail: "What up, you reached Larry, but I no can get to my phone right now. Leave me a message, ok bye. Beep....

Me: "Larry, it's me bro, I'm home now. Call me please brother, some weird shit is happening and I think you know why. I'm serious Larry call me, or I'm going back to that shop." I threaten as I hung up. I sat down on my couch and waited for what felt like forever for Larry to call back but he never did and I ended up falling asleep.
