Something that must be done

*****

A week later.......

******

It's been a week since he was saved by David Vincent, his own dad. He was obviously keeping his identity secret. He had introduced himself as Samuel, a name that automatically came in his mind when Mr Vincent asked. He was spending time with his parents of the past.

Mr and Mrs Vincent of the past were taking care of him. They were very kind persons. In just a week, John became an integral part of their family. Mr David Vincent had gone to market to buy vegetables. Mrs Vincent was resting at home. Mr Vincent had been taking good care of her since they got the news that she was pregnant.

"Would you like to give some suggestion for the name of our baby?", Mrs Vincent asked.

"Huh?!, Me??", John replied.

"Yes."

"Umm. If it is a boy then I would suggest names like Mikey, Edward, John and Kim. If it is a girl then Misa, Winrey, Nami and Vivi.", he had no experience in naming someone. So, he just randomly threw the name of some anime characters.

"You came up with a lot of creative names. You must be good at naming someone."

"Umm. Yeah, maybe."

Mrs Vincent smiled. John paused for a moment and started talking again.

"I am thinking of going now."

"Going? Where?"

"I appreciate your kindness. I express my deepest gratitude for letting me stay with you all this time but I've got other plans. There are things that I must do no matter what. So..", John replied without facing Mrs Sarah Vincent, his mom.

Mrs Vincent looked sad.

"Well, if you must go then I won't stop you but at least wait till Mr David comes back that way you can say your goodbyes to all of us."

John had already interfered with the timeline enough by staying with them for a whole week. He wanted to leave just now.

'I will solve the mystery of Dad's death. I will save him no matter what.', John thought to himself.

"I must go now. Give my regards to him. You and Mr David too, will surely meet me again."

"....."

"And please name your child from the name I had given.", John added again.

"Umm...yeah...If it is a boy then I will name him John and Winrey if a girl.", she said while slowly rubbing her stomach.

"Well, I am off then."

"Please take care."

John left the home. He didn't want to leave but he had to. He had decided not to return to his timeline unless he saves his dad. He was happy to meet his parents once again.

Beside the New York city, there was a wood, the wood where John spawned when he came back in time. The wood was not covering much area but it surely was dense. There were a lot of different plants and bushes. The whole wood seemed a bit dark even on a sunny day due to its density.

There were tall trees too. On one of the tall trees, there was a small hole that seemed like a weirdly shaped keyhole. Inside the tall but thin tree there was a big room. There was no explanation to such structure.

This room belonged to, none other than Seto. He was talking to a someone on a device that represented a telephone.

"That boy is going to pose us all a trouble again. After going through this much trouble to defeat Pica, that boy came back again to oppose us."

"¤¤¤¤¤¤¤", incomprehensible sound was coming from the telephone like device.

"Yeah. We should've just searched for Pica and killed him back then."

"¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤"

"Yeah, by 'back then', I mean 'more than thirty years ago' when we came to this world. That bastard Pica, he decided to become one of these filthy creatures living here."

John had no idea where to go. He couldn't just go to a random house and ask for shelter. He saw a shop nearby him beside the road and saw a hiking tent. So, he thought for a moment.

"......"

He stopped the time. He stole the tent. He even stole some basic things needed for survival like a lighter and some fast foods. He stole a hiking bag and packed all those things in that bag and headed towards the wood where he spawned after resuming the time. He entered the wood and started searching for a place to set his tent.

After searching for ten minutes, he found a suitable place. A place which was not covered with bushes and was a little open.

John set everything up in half an hour. He was resting inside the tent, eating some of the fast food he had stolen and was trying to get some lead in solving his dad's mystery.
