The thief didn't give away much. Kate only found out that his name was Zachary. William was shocked at this news, although Kevin didn't know why. William called the gang over so they can discuss how to get more information out of him.

"So any ideas how to get him talking?" Kate asked.

"Well, there is one….. but I can't let you guys see it." William supplied.

"Why not? I mean, you got nothing to hide, right?" Jake said, making William scowl at him.

"None of you would understand but Kevin." William explained. "In fact, I'll explain things to him after I get orange here talking." William was mentioning to the man's hair, which turned out to be a bright shade of orange.

"OH! OH! Can he join us? That would be so GREAT!" Norm yelled, with that care-free smile on his face.

"It depends really." Kevin said, "what if he's evil? But we can't really know that, so you can take a crack at it William."

It took 10 minutes for William to come out. No one knew what happened in there, but he did hear a part of the conversation.

(5 minutes ago)

Zachary: GIMMI GIMMI GIMMI!

William: Do you know how stupid you are? Using the (Kevin wasn't sure what that word was) to come here? That was ludicrous! Even for you!

Zachary: I'm sorry! But they really miss you! And I bet the e-

William: Stop! For all we know, they could be listening right now! Just.. tone it down a bit ok?

(back to the present)

When William came out, he told Kevin and the others that he knew him from another journey, but wasn't sure of it until he told them his name. He was a thief, yet he wasn't an enemy. Despite Jake's protests, William let Zachary in the group. When they found a place to sleep in an inn, William brought Kevin to the basement of the inn for this 'explanation'.

"So…. You remember anything?" William asked, caution in his voice.

"Remember what?" Kevin asked, although he was pretty sure that he knew the answer.

"The past life, when you were in…. earth."

Suddenly, memories began flooding in. Kevin remembered talking to his friends, playing basketball, struggling with homework. Kevin stumbled backwards. He just realized where he was. The answer was staring at him in the face.

"William, what the hell am I doing in a game?"

"Don't think of it as a game. It's called the many worlds theory." William answered.

"So what, we have the ability to travel through the fabric of time and space?" Kevin asked, the obvious sarcasm in his voice.

"It's crazy, but basically, yeah, It's really rare, but we have the ability to be part of something called a 'Insert'. You have to beat the game's storyline to get out."

"But since Minecraft has no story…."

"It fabricated a storyline of it's own, so it doesn't mess up everything.

"If then, what game were you in?"

William stayed silent.

"Fine, whatever. Let's just get out of this freaking story. And when we do, you tell me what happened in your story."

Kevin won't know for a while, but I will be publishing a story about William's first experience in a "Insert." And double upload since I was so late. See you guys then.
