   Before I knew it, grandpa had disappeared and we were on our own. I looked around. Ben, Mike, and Zoe were still asleep. I looked out the window and saw three boys open the door and get in. Liam got to the back and said, "Who are these kids?"

   "They want to meet Leo." I turned away from Liam and faced the other two boys, Jake and Danny, I then asked, "How is Leo doing?"

   "Leo's great, bu-"

   Danny was cut off as Mike sat upright and yelled, "who are these boys?!"

   "Calm down, Mike, These are friends of Leo, my sister." I said. Ben and Zoe had been up and tried to hide their surprise.

   "You have a sister?" Ben asked, then thought about it and asked, "Why do you refer to her as Leo?"

   "Yes, I have a sister"

   "She needs to blend in, so we call 'er Leo. Her name is Lily. I girl bein' able to beat up Scot Cillon is not good for people like all of us." Jake is the toughest in these parts, but Danny is the brains. Jake kept asking Danny what to say next.

   "Where are we?" Zoe asked.

   "We are in New York. Jake, Danny, and Liam this is Mike, Zoe, and Ben. So, where is everyone? I don't see anyone on the streets."

   "They saw you guys and went up to Long Island to tell Leo." Danny said.

   "These people are dressed like it is 1900." Ben commented. 

   "It's 1899!" Liam piped up. 

   "You traveled back" Jake told them. 

   "We should head to Long Island." Danny said. We don't want you know who to come after us."

   "oh yeah, lets go"
