Adventure Of A Lifetime

15. The War Begins

Billy trained us hard. He made us jump over obstacles, climb over walls, shot guns, fight in hand-to-hand combat and he taught us how to use some of the gadgets the federal agency had. In return Chris and I trained the others (except for Dean) how to control your car when driving super-fast. Chris had kept my car in good condition and same with Uncle Josh’s which made me happy. It felt good behind the wheel of my car.

       Chris had promised to but some Nos in my car, which made me excited. Skye and Uncle Josh were together again, Uncle Josh seemed happy which was good. I haven’t talked to Toby since Rio and that was a week ago, our relationship wasn’t going to good at the moment.

       “Summer this can’t keep going on,” Toby said to me after the seventh day of training. 

       “Look I just have no time,” I said acidly.

       “Why don’t we go out tonight, go partying have fun,” Toby suggested.

       “No,” I snapped.

       “Oh well, can I borrow your car? ‘Cause I found a place where we could go racing.”

       “Fine, I’ll come.”

       An alarm began to wail and I looked at Toby with wide eyes. I heard Dean call my name and I ran, Toby followed me. Dean kept calling out to me.

       “Dean!” I called back, “Dean I’m coming.”

        I turned a corner and saw Neil and Lauren. Neil had his arms around Dean. Dean struggled to break free but it was no use Neil was too strong. I looked Lauren and saw that she had tears in her eyes. Maybe Skye was right, maybe Lauren was nice.

       “Clever, I can’t believe you kept him a secret,” Neil said.

       “I never knew about him,” I said through clenched teeth.

       “Summer, help his hurting me,” Dean cried.

       “Let him go,” I instructed Neil.

       “Now why should I do that?” Neil asked me.

       “OW!” Dean screamed.

       “LET HIM GO!” I screamed at Neil.

       “Ha, I found your weakness,” Neil said.

       “Neil get out of here,” Toby said calmly.

       “OW!” Dean screamed.

       “Let him go,” I cried.

       “Ouch,” Dean sobbed.

       “You’re hurting him,” I cried.

       “LET HIM GO NEIL!” Toby bellowed.

       “But the kid down,” Uncle Josh said. I turned around and saw Uncle Josh standing behind me with a gun. Molly, Chris, Rocco and Skye were there too.

       “Maybe you should let him go,” Lauren said to Neil.

       “SHUT UP!” Neil snapped at her. Neil wrapped his hands around Dean’s neck cutting of his air supply.

       “NO!” I screamed.

        I ran towards Neil and tackled him to the ground. I slid of Neil’s body making sure I wouldn’t hurt Dean. I began to punch Neil continuously. At some point Neil would have to let go of Dean. After my tenth punch Neil began to punch me. Dean crawled away choking for air.
