Deepak's mom said tha Deepak was at work (the Internet Cafe) and he has to sometimes stay later to close up. If you ever worked at a place where that is your job, you know you never leave at the same time, sometimes it is a long time before you actually finish closing. Anyway, according to Deepak Joran had called him and asked for a ride (Deepak's mother called it a "lift") to C&C's. Joran was home, Daddy had taken him home at about 11 we believe. So, maybe Joran just had to wait till Deepak was done, and then finally they made their way to C&C's, since Joran had agreed to meet Natalee there, according to Deepak's statement. Again, though, that is all in question. But that would explain why they got there so late.

Prayers for Natalee (new report is that the authorities now believe she is dead - OMG) (deep breath now, OMG) for her family and all families in this terrible tragedy. May He give the innocent strength, and motivate the guilty to come forward and tell the truth!

That overlooks the point that Deepak did not drive to work. He loved his car and would not park it at work. His brother came to pick him up just prior to closing.

Deepak's mother called it a "lift"

That's very European. My mother is Scottish and has friends who many times give her a "lift" to one place or another.
