What James Did: The Accidental Time Travellers-Book 3 by Marc James Page A

protested.
    “Oh, believe me, I know.  He was a happy man Mr Faraday.  Then something changed that day.  After you left he got very drunk, something he didn’t do very often.  He got all worked up and told me it was all his fault, he said that he had killed people.  I thought he was losing his mind, he said that he had travelled through time.  He said that you had done the same, that between you, you had caused the President to get into power.”
    Faraday could not believe David had told his wife everything.  “He was telling the truth.”
    “I am aware of that.  At first I did not believe him, I wanted to take him to the hospital.  But then he went into such detail, he convinced me.  He told me that he had to go and speak to the President.  I told him it was crazy, if what he had said about the man was true then I assumed it would be the wrong move.  He said that he had made some kind of deal with Abaddon and that he would understand.”
    “What happened?”
    “Well, that is something I will probably never know.  He never came home, not alive in any case.”
    “Abaddon killed him?”
    “As I say Mr Faraday, I will never know who killed him.  But I always hoped that you would come back one day.”
    “Why?”
    Sharon’s eyes suddenly filled with tears.  “I wanted to tell you that because of you, my husband is dead.  Because of you his daughter had to grow up without a father.  I wanted you to know that Mr Faraday, because I hate you with every fibre of my being.  He was a good man and a wonderful father.  You destroyed our lives, I wanted you to know that.”
    Guy was in stunned silence.
    Faraday could hardly believe what Sharon was saying to him, had he actually caused David’s death?  “I’m sorry.”  He mumbled.
    “Well, that makes everything much better.  Our lives can go back to being perfect again now, can’t they.”  Sharon snapped.
    “I didn’t kill your husband.”  Faraday protested.
    “I think you had better leave.”  Kevin interjected.
    “He was my friend.”  Faraday said in disbelief.
    “Now.”  Kevin instructed.
    Guy rose to his feet, Faraday was shell-shocked but followed Guy reluctantly.  When they had left the house they walked back into the street, Guy didn’t seem to have a clue as to what he should say.
    “I never would have done anything to hurt any of them.”  Faraday said to himself as much as to Guy.
    “She was just upset Mr Faraday, try not to let it worry you.”
    “There is no one left Guy, I don’t know what I’ve done.”
    “Perhaps we should spend the night here and go to meet the others after a night’s sleep.  It may not be wise to meet them in the state that you are in.”  Guy advised.
    Faraday nodded.  “I think you might be right.”
    Within an hour the two men were sat at the same table that Faraday, and Edward Teller had been at only days previously, at the Four Seasons Hotel. 
    On this occasion Faraday was not hungry, he didn’t feel capable of digesting food, alcohol, on the other hand, was exactly what he wanted.
    He sipped from his pint and Guy did the same.  Guy still felt incredibly awkward and didn’t seem to know what to say, after a few hours the alcohol had loosened both their tongues.
    “This President Wolf seems like a genuinely evil man.”  Guy stated.
    Faraday nodded.  “He is.”
    “Then why help him?”  Guy asked.
    Faraday frowned, he hadn’t seen that question coming.  “I made a mistake.”
    “I’m sorry Mr Faraday, you misunderstood my question.  I was not trying to offend you, I was simply curious as to why you chose to help him?”
    Faraday took a long gulp from his pint before he answered.  “At the time it felt like the only choice I had.”
    “Why?”
    “Well, my wife had just died, I was upset.  I found out that a man named Will Carter had raped her, and as you can imagine, I wanted him dead.”
    “I am sorry.” 
    “So am I.  My friend Bobby knew about that but still
