Chapter 10 - Eli & Mana

Ben walked out of 1950's and checked on every motel or inn available on his GPS. But to no luck he couldn't find Elise or her friend anywhere. When an idea struck his mind. He remembered that every time they had meals, breakfast, lunch or dinner, he would always tell her daughter that he loves to put up a time warp laboratory in Balmain where people could travel through time and use his inventions everywhere not only here but all over the world.

Growing clients and buyers or sellers of Professor Benedict Ark's invention called Ark's Time Machines have become so popular that politicians have grown envious and wanted to buy his products out for them to sell it to investors from Germany and the United States. But Professor Ark didn't want to do that so he tried to lay low though he still worked in his laboratory he is keen and careful not to be caught by dirty politicians and leaders during this era or generation.

Elise and Mana walked through the laboratory that looked like a science club or art museum. There are a lot of flying, gliding and circling inventions big and small that captured the two girl's eyes. The inventions are like toys they can play with but aren't allowed to touch unless they buy them.

Elise smiled and told herself that dad made it. He indeed made his dream possible, then a woman walking out of a room to welcome them in the store smiled while approaching them. Her age is maybe ranging from her late twenties to thirties, and looked very familiar. And her name tag reads Eli. Haah…it's me. I looked "wow" beautiful! Hmm….so, I am proud of myself for looking this great at that age. Manhattan looked at me and looked at Eli, the older version of me and couldn't close her mouth in disbelief. Yeah I know I look fab huh!...hehe!, what I could only say since I know that she couldn't believe herself that we are finally at dad's laboratory. Thank God that ogers weren't able to follow us. But we shouldn't be too careless and I couldn't stop looking at our backs since we paid the inn master from the place we last stayed for two days.

Yes, it's me and I need to find dad, quickly. Before the ogers or the Benette's find us, Elise added and then smiled while shaking Eli's hand. Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Elise and wow we have the same name!, the older me said. Yup, what a remarkable coincidence, huh!, I said smiling while my eyes turned to Mana to cover for me while I look for dad. She nodded and held older Eli's hands and pulled her to the other side of the counter while I scoot and find my dad to help us go back to 1930.

Eli, is that really you? Mana asked smiling. Wow!
