Chapter 12

She found herself sitting next to an old pay phone. Her fingers tapped on the wheelchair arm as her eyes looked around the market. Agent One and Neddy sat in the chair beside her both talking about what supplies they needed.

It was so odd seeing the world this still.

Babies weren't crying, people weren't talking and it was as if she was in a movie on pause. She was starting to miss the sound that people brought with them wherever they went to. With a sigh Violet sank into her wheelchair only to have her eyes widen soon after because she heard a noise.

It wasn't Neddy and it wasn't Agent one, but an actual nose. Neddy and Agent One must've heard it too because both males had stopped talking their jaws dropped and slowly the three turned to the pay phone that sat hanged on the wall beside her.

It was ringing.

Violet had a mobile phone and never in her life had she ever needed to use a pay phone. However, she did know a few things about pay phones. One of those said things was that pay phones don't ring. Because they we're meant for someone that needed to ring up another person.

"Quickly answer it," Neddy said.

Violet picked up the phone of the hook and placed it close to her ear. Not too close just enough for her to hear the voice on the other end because both Neddy and Agent One wanted to listen in.

"Hello?" Violet said.

"Violet, Violet is that you?"

"Jerry?"

"Jerry?" Neddy squeak out.

Jerry.

Jerry her cousin her only living family member left was actually talking to her.

"Jerry is that you?"

"Yeah, yeah it's me. Hey, um where are you?"

"Muswellbrook. You?"

"Still in Newcastle. Also, I met a few friends of yours there not really pleased with you."

"When you say friends?"

"I'm fairly sure there like foes."

"Give me the phone."

Violet gulped down her fear the moment she heard the girl spoke.

"Ow, watch it brat."

"You watch you say," the other twin said.

"Hello there dear," the first twin said sweetly. "Is it true. Is this hopeless human male your cousin?"

"Yes."

"And, that means he is family correct?"

"Ah-huh."

"Will you have six hours to get here before he ends up like all the other Agents."

"What? But why? He has nothing to do with this."

"Six hours," there was a long pause. "Unless you want me to make it three."

Newcastle and Muswellbrook, was only an hour drive away. There was nowhere near enough time.

"We will come."

"Good. Oh, and by the way we are at your flat. Take care," the twin said sweetly before hanging up.

"Did you guys hear that?" Violet asked.

"The twins have your cousin?" Agent One asked.

"Yes, we need to get there as soon as possible."

"Whoa, take it easy dear. We will."

"Take it easy?" she said furiously. "My cousin has been kidnapped by two six-year-olds. I cannot take it easy."

"Good point, but we do need to think this through."

"What's there to think through?" she demanded.

"We need to know if this isn't a trap."

Neddy and Violet exchanged looks.

"It's so a trap," Neddy said.

"But that doesn't change the fact that my cousin kidnapped. I don't care how he is unfrozen or why. But I'm getting him back alive."

She had too.

He was the only family she had left.

"We need to tell Smith..."

"No." Violet said.

With what Golden Eyes had told her and then the phone call happening the moment they left Smith. Agent Smith was the last person Violet trusted.

"I am not telling her. Either you're with me or you not."

"My dear."

"I mean it One. My cousin is kidnapped. I will not wait around to tell Smith. Beside she's barely done anything so far anywhere. All she does is try and get into contact with Agents which normally causes their downfall. I refuse to tell her any more information. So, either you're with me or not. It's a simple answer."

"I'm so down," Neddy said with a grin. The two looked to Agent One.

Agent One sighed. "Alright, let's move out."

"Come on Violet. Let's steal a car."

"Wait? What?"

It was too late because Neddy pushed her out the door with plans of stealing a car and Agent One followed.

The world was frozen and Violet had hopes that the cameras weren't working either because all of this would be hard to explained in court.
