Gonzalez's man woke up first after completing his sleep in the late evening. Those goons had owl like schedule to sleep. It had been many years since he had not slept in the night. Neither had Gonzalez nor any of his homies.
In order to wake his boss and associates, he had a work of making coffee. His coffee always had succeeded to keep people awake on the walk in order to go on a long night journey.
He put the powdered coffee in hot water and let it bubble for a while. He was making the coffee his own way whether or not others liked it.
Those fags need to make their coffee by themselves if they want coffee their own way. He turned the gas off and aligned row of glasses.
Then he went on for pouring coffee in the glasses.
Due to some reason, he lost sense and spilled the hot liquid. He wondered why he became so clumsy all of a sudden.
He went on spilling more coffee. He could not judge how much he was pouring in the glasses.
What is happening? He asked himself when he lost control over himself and spilled the entire jar of caffeine.
For the first time in many years, he went to Gonzalez without a cup in his hand. He woke Gonzalez by shaking him.
"Pedron, no coffee today." Gonzalez heard him say.
"Why was I having the same dream over and over again?" Gonzalez asked his man.
It was the first time Gonzalez had talked to him about his dreams.

The leaps that Roderick and captive took were very long. In order to compensate the lost steps, they took long sprints. Even doing it was a struggle of its own. Sometimes the jumps lead them to where they were at the time of jump.
All the while they had just got on side of Time Tower. After a big jump, they reached in front of the Time Tower. Now Roderick could see what the cause of time being tampered with was.
There was a sparrow trying to sit on second hand of the clock. Roderick was surprised to see the clock hands move anti – clockwise. The sparrow tried to sit on the hand, which was ticking its way up.
"Quick, jump!" Roderick yelled, and they took two long leaps.
The sparrow sat there and pushed the time behind by two seconds because of its weight.
"If this sparrow keeps doing it, then soon people will realize what is happening." Juan was terrified.
"I will kill it." Roderick said and took his gun out.
Sparrow was sitting on the second hand now, and its weight was pushing time back by one second.
He pressed the trigger, but the bullet did not reach there.
Roderick fired towards the bird several times and bullets returned to barrel without touching it. Instead, they got in the loop.
"Why isn’t this bloody bird being affected?" Roderick was frustrated but also was delighted to find out he had lost no bullets.
"Remember, whoever dials the time can't get affected by the changes around him." Juan reminded him.
This time Roderick shot straight at it. Sparrow flinched and flew away. The bullet hit on the hour hand and broke it.
Oh my god! What did I do? Roderick got scared to see the clock with just two hands.
"You broke an arm? Do you have any idea what you just did?" Juan snapped at him.
