I had to tell my parents about what was happening and I was this close to getting a no. However, Nathan managed to convince them and with deep consideration, I was allowed. Heidi sat on my right and Ariarne on my left, Tristan sat to the left of Ariarne. Nathan and Cadence sat at the captains seats. I was very tired and needed sleep. I rested my head on the seat but found it very uncomfortable. I shifted around and soon found my head on top of Heidi's shoulder. Though I didn't care, I drifted off that very moment.
*Three hours later*
'Mayday!' I heard Nathan yell. My eyes were half open, exploring the plane. 'DAD!' Cadence shrieked. I was now full awake and flinched. 'What's going on?'
'Plane's about to crash. Wake the others and we are parachuting out!'
My heart sank. I gently shook Heidi and she looked at me in confusement. 'Ben?' She murmured. 'We're parachuting out. We have to hurry.' A look of hope crossed Heidi's eyes. 'Can I go with you?'
'Ben's going with me.' Ariarne said quickly. Everyone looked at her suspiciously and Heidi looked genuinely upset and annoyed. 'Let's go! Strap yourself in Ben.' Ariarne ordered. I shuffled next to her and whispered. 'I have acrophobia...'
At first, Ariarne seemed annoyed, but then she looked at me with an emotion I've never seen her give me before. Worry.
She sighed. 'Don't worry. I'll protect you.' She promised. And surprisingly, she held my hand. I didn't know how to feel. I had a mixture of concern, delight and fear. Out of the corner of my eye, Heidi was eyeing me with disappointment. Though I couldn't say anything because Ariarne had jumped out of the plane.
I wanted to scream, but my mouth wouldn't let me. I just squeezed Ariarne's hand tightly and laced my fingers around hers. To my astonishment, she did also. She gave the other hand to steer and landed safely. She let go the moment our feet touched the ground. Cadence and Nathan landed and soon after, Tristan and Heidi. 'Where are we?' Heidi asked.
'Melbourne. Sweet oh sweet Melbourne.' Nathan sighed. 'We'll take a cab as we lost all transport-'
KABOOM!
The sound was so loud, I felt my ears screaming. It threw me to the ground, the same as Heidi and Tristan. A few kilometres away, the plane had crashed and this bought everyone's attention. Nathan ignored this and ran to the cab nearby. We followed.
'One trip to the NGV please.' Nathan said impatiently.
The cab driver flashed a smile. 'Yeh kids see dat plane? It flew then pew! Crashed. I'll have to get my hearing aids replaced. Heh heh! Sorry, yeh going to the NGV? Sure thing. Also, the name's Steve.' The cab driver said. Nathan rolled his eyes. 'I really am in a hurry Steve. If we exceed the driving speed, I'll pay the fine.'
'Of course.' He speeded the car to maximum and laughed in delight.
We arrived and Steve gave us a creepy grin. 'Yeh people are amazing. Here, dis my number. Call it when yeh in trouble.' Steve insisted. We agreed and rushed into the Gallery. It was packed with people and it felt like our eyes were being tested. 'So this is the next Where's Wally?' I asked to Heidi. She gave me a look of anger and ignored me. I cocked my head confused and thought. Is she angry because of me and Ariarne... But I couldn't continue the thought because:
1) I was in the middle of a mission
2) Cassius shot a bullet right past me
He held a gun to our heads and the tourists nearby shrieked in terror. 'Well well, looks like you betrayed us Blackburn.' Cassius said coldly. Cadence gave a faint chuckle. 'I figured as much.'
'I did find it awfully suspicious when your radio picked up all the way to Melbourne. So I tracked your location and you were with them.' He spat with distaste. 'Um hello, we have names.' I said. Cassius ignored this and continued. 'As you can see, I have lost the leg that you have shot at twice.' Cassius added as he pointed to one of his limbs, now replaced with a fake. I smiled. 'You deserved it.' I told him. Cassius nodded and spoke once more. 'Perhaps I did... But the senior agent sure did not agree...' he said. He stepped back and all of our eyes bulged.
The senior agent stood in front of us, guns in both hands.
He was still alive?
I am very sorry I didn't post. I have been caught up in studying and for some reason Wattpad never saved this chapter. So I had to rewrite it twice. Though thank you for the patience.
