Told you there was more Luke to come!

Hope you like it, I thought I would add an extra as I originally wrote Luke's first appearance as one, but decided the chapter was too long, so here is the other part! It would have been over 4000 word otherwise.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this! comment tell me what you think etc. :)

Luke's POV: (next morning)

I swear clocks move slower, when you really want them to go faster. I don't think I have taken my eyes of the clock since Axel called our surprise family meeting. It feels like him and Owen have been droning on for hours, no wait- they have! Two, so far.

"...And finally, Marc, Corey and Gabriel you are on a mission this afternoon, I've sent you the file," Axel waits for them all to nod and agree before saying, "Anything else to report?"

It's takes another twenty minutes to go round the table and find out that:

Kota is still at odds with his mum and Jess. Oops best not to mention I'm visiting this afternoon!

Corey has almost finished the coding on a game that his making, but he mutters this so quietly, that I think only me and Brandon, on his other side, hear him. Surprisingly, Axel doesn't bother to ask him to speak up, when before he would have totally done so.

Victor thinks that his sorted the bug in Gabe's designing programs.

Gabe goes to complain about North yesterday, but I shoot him a look shaking my head and he just thanks Victor and mutters 'nothing to report.' Before sitting, doing a very good North impression.

Sean thinks he should take another shift at the hospital (which Mr. B veto's and then assigns a smirking Nathen and brooding North to make sure he doesn't leave).

By this time my fingers are tapping, Corey notices, passing me a pen, the Toma's have got as used to giving me things to do with my hand as my old team now. Even if it's only a few who still do. I spin the pen casually trying not to fidget as we continue, North scowls a couple of times at the spinning pen, but I'm used to it now, even if it still hurts.

Nathen does a super quick review of the last mission him and Silas where on. (by super quick it means it takes almost half an hour! I feel like Kota, timing everything, right now)

Axel mutters something about bioluminescence and a break though, (which sounds boring)

Kayli is surprisingly quiet-for once. (normally she has a judgement for everyone).

Everybody else seems to be fine. I just add a 'nothing to report' when they turn to me. The pen still spinning in my fingers, my foot now tapping, as the clock edges closer to the time that I will be late for Erica's lunch.

It's almost half twelve when the meeting ends. As they finally let us go, it's all I can do to not sprint out of the door. I lifted North's Jeep keys from his pocket earlier, so I have my vehicle sorted, which helps.

Casually wandering out the door I just have to hope that nobodies blocked North's Jeep in, which they haven't, I feel like praising the lord, and I am not religious!

For some reason this feels important. Well Erica texted, so it's important, the thing that's bugging me is that I don't know why. At all. My Dream? She didn't give me another clue despite the fact I bugged her last night for almost an hour with constant texts, not one more word. After the 'No' she didn't even seem to go on her phone again.

I may have sped a little on the way to Kota's old house, but I get there almost bang on one o'clock. I really hope the light I ran didn't have a camera, or North will strangle me.
