The Hook Family Secret (Former Title:Harry Hook's Secrets) (BOOK ONE)

Chapter 7

Carlos was quick to hug him as Diego followed noticing dry tear tracks on his face, pulled him closer in their hug they shared. Evie was straightening Mal’s hair out as Mal laughed at her. “Mal , do you know where my phone is?” Ben directed his voice towards her. Mal shook her head in laughter as she passed it to him as Harry grinned from behind her still in Diego’s hug. Ben smirked knowing old habits die hard. “Well I must say thank you for the entertainment, the lovely dinner and the company. But, I must say looking at the time, I must get these ready for their mission. It has been decided that you are to take the royal ship to Neverland. My father insisted”. Laughter came to the side from Harry as he mockingly smiled at the King’s words before picking his kids up and walking towards the limousine, he strapped them in and did the same with the other kids. He turned back to the others as Jay spoke, “Do you have a problem with that Harry?”. “Aye, I do. Neverland isn’t a place for a joy ride on the royal ship. It’s not like the stories you learned about in Boreadon. Anything shiny will be taken including your ride. You don’t stand a chance. Which is why I am offering another way to get to Neverland, as it's no joke to get there” he grumbled as he spoke with his accent. Jay stepped forward threateningly only to be pulled back by Mal who insisted they would listen to Harry. “What do you propose then Harry?” All heads turned towards Harry who was rolling his bike next to the Limousine. Diego followed his actions with his own bike. Harry turned his attention away from Mal as he asked “Anthony would you be willing to drive the limousine as we show you the solution to your problems. Bearing in mind my kids do like your driving”. Before Anthony heard the pleas and cries of his nephew and niece he agreed, saving his ears from Harry’s crazy kids. “Harry?” Mal turned to Harry as he replied, “Just trust me, please!”. Mal nodded as she went to follow the others to the car when Harry grabbed her wrist, their eyes met as he spoke, “Mal fancy a ride, there won’t be enough room in there”. She nodded and smiled, passing her his leather jacket and a spare helmet. Sharing a look and a smile with Ben, who in turn, sent her a look to say ‘be careful love’, she smiled back raising an eyebrow. Getting on the back of her brother's bike making herself comfortable, before watching Harry help Diego with his gear, who had Jay riding with him. Harry helped the two passengers with their gear, smirking to himself knowing the extent of how Diego drives compared to him.

Harry went back in the house, making sure he locked up everything and picked up his two kids backpacks before shoving them in the limousine boot where Diego had put the needed accessories. They had their ducati 848’s because they didn’t fancy a mud run on their dirt bikes again and he didn’t think Jay would appreciate it or more like Evie. Although it would be funny to see Mal’s purple leather muddy, he would save his ears from the complaining this time. Smiling to himself, he headed in the direction of his bike when his phone rang. He glared down at the name on the screen before he answered. The others watched him pace back and forth while speaking into the phone. Mal could tell it was something serious as he leaned against a nearby tree next to the house, he looked ready to crumble. He hung up very quickly while directing his attention at the sky for a minute or two before walking towards them. He knocked Diego’s helmet in mischief, laughing when Diego sorted it again. Each helmet Diego had was unique and all had a mohawk look to match his hair.

Climbing onto his bike, he heard Mal behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist and whispering, “Are you alright?”, he squeezed her hand in reassurance that he was okay for the time being. He made a signal for Diego to go, with the limousine following. Harry looked back at his house before speeding down the drive to the gate, quickly getting off for locking it up which took less than 60 seconds. He raced to catch up to the others with ease, speeding past the limousine pulling next to Diego in seconds. Diego grinned at Harry underneath the helmet. Harry took the lead speeding a little too over the limit but he didn’t care and with Mal laughing enjoying the ride. He didn’t really care what the limit was, because there was no fun going the correct speed. They took twists and turns while heading deeper into the forbidden forest.
