Scorpion: A New Member

Chapter 50: Get em

TOBYS POV
We all get into the car like Cabe said. I sit in the back with Happy and Meghan, Cabe and Sylvester sit in the middle while Paige sits in the passengers seat and Walter drives. It is a five hour and 37 minute drive from LA to Oakland, so Paige turns on the radio 'Anywhere But Here' By Mayday Parade comes on. Walter and Paige talk silently, while Sylvester and Cabe argue about how many germs were on that phone they just touched. Meghan is on her phone looking up morning sickness remedies. I turn to Happy she's asleep with her head on the window. I lean in and kiss her on the forehead since she won't be awake to punch me. Her eyes blink open and I scoot towards Paige.
"I thought you were asleep." I say quietly. Happy has a confused look on her face when I say this.
"That was the goal." Happy says smiling. She grabs my shirt and pulls me in for a kiss. When she releases me from the embrace I ask
"So what are we?"
"What?" She asks laughing a bit.
"Are we, dating now?" I ask her giving her my classic smirk.
"Well we do have a kid and live together.... Sure, we're dating." Happy says laying her head on my chest. I smile and look down to tell her something but she is already fast asleep. I turn to Meghan who looks like she was watching the whole time. She smiles as to say 'I knew it'.
After the long 5 hour drive we arrive at Glens house. It is a small red house, the paint it cracked, the window seals are breaking, and the foundation is cracked. We start getting out of the car but Meghan stops us.
"Wait I should go first." Meghan says.
"What why?" Cabe asks.
"Because if all of us show up at his doorstep together don't you think that might be a little suspicious?" Meghan asks.
"But what if he hurts you?" I ask.
"Then you guys will be right here in case I need you." She responds opening the door and walking out, not giving us time to respond. Walter rolls down his window.
"Catch!" He shouts throwing her an ear piece. She catches it and gives a thumbs up. She puts the ear piece in her ear and walks up to the door, she rings the door bell and waits patiently.
"Nobody's coming out." Meghan says after ten minutes.
"Ok come back to the van." Cabe instructs. Meghan walks back to the van and hops into the back seat. Right when she gets in the back seat we see a small grey Toyota zip out from behind the house. Walter presses on the gas and goes speeding after it.
"Maybe we should have hid the government vehicle before Meghan went up to the door." I say watching the car.
"Ya think?" Happy asks sarcastically.
We chase the car for as long as we can, as fast as we can. All of a sudden we hear a 'thump' and the car starts to slow down.
"What's happening?" Sylvester asks.
"Looks like we hit something in the road, we have a flat tire." Walter says hitting his fist against the glove compartment. I look out the window, wondering what to do. I look out and see what looks like an army vehicle, they are stopped at a 7/11. They have multiple vehicles, maybe we could use one.
"There's a military vehicle over there. Maybe we could borrow one of their cars." I suggest.
"Let's try." Paige says exiting the car. We all walk over to the men in camouflage.
"Hi sorry to bother you, but is there any way we could borrow one of your cars? It's an emergency." Paige asks.
"You have to have been in the military to use this vehicle." One of the men replies tapping the roof of the car.
"I'm homeland security." Cabe says showing the man his badge.
"I don't care if you are the president." The man says. He gestures for us to leave and we start walking back to the van.
"Well he was being an ass." Happy says, you can hear the frustration in her voice.
"My father was in the military." Meghan whispers.
"What?" Happy asks uncertain of what she said.
"My dad was in the military!" She shouts running back towards the men in camouflage. We run after her.
"My dad was in the military, does that count?" She asks the man, she's out of breath.
"He has to have been high up in the military." Walter whispers to Meghan.
"What's his name?" The man in camouflage asks calling over his general.
"General Tanner Jacobs." Meghan responds.
"That will do it." I say out loud.
"Do you have his number with you?" The general asks. Meghan takes off her camouflage rubber bracelet and handing it out to the General. He nods and hands it back to her.
"You can take the car but we need it back by 7am tomorrow morning." He says. Meghan nods and hops in the drivers seat.
"Uh thanks." Paige says getting into the back seat with Walter and Cabe sits in the passengers seat. The rest of us squeeze into the car. Meghan steps on the gas and we go speeding in the direction the wolves went in.
"You saved our asses back there." Happy says looking at Meghan who is looking intensely at the road.
"Being a military brat has its perks." Meghan responds. She presses on the gas pedal until it is all the way to the floor. We see the car again and Meghan turns so we are now driving next to the car. She swerves to the right slightly hitting the other car leaving a dent. All of a sudden it starts pouring, making it difficult for Meghan to see. She looks determined at the car next to us and swerves once more crashing into the car with a jolt. Both cars are now crashed together on the side of the road. Meghan jumps out of the car and runs over taking the two men out of the car, she grabs their shirts and pushes them to the ground. Happy hops out of the car and grabs one of the two men. They both grab each of the men's wrist and holds them behind their back and sits on top of them. Cabe runs over and hand cuffs them, Happy and Meghan run over to the car and help us all out.
"Everybody ok?" Meghan asks and everybody nods.
"Good." Cabe says with one of the men in each hand. He pushes the men into the back seat of the police car that he called. We turn around and look at the army vehicle, its smashed up and smoking.
"I don't think they're going to want their car back." I says looking at the smoking car, it was originally on fire but the rain cooled it down and put out the fire.
"No kidding Doc." Happy says looking at the car too. We get a ride from a government van that Cabe called to pick us up. Cabe drives and Meghan's in the passengers seat, Sly and Walt in the middle, Paige, Happy and I in the back. Meghan is curled up in a ball, her soaking wet hair is up in a high pony tail. Paige is also starting to fall asleep, with her head against the window her hair isn't that wet, just a bit. Walter is wide awake typing in calculations for his rocket on his phone his hair is wet making it very curly, Sly is wiping down the head rest with an antibacterial wipe and Cabe is a wide awake with his eyes intensely set on the road. I look over at Happy, who is sitting next to me. She is fast asleep with her head on my shoulder, her wet hair feels cold against my skin giving me chills down my spine. When we get to the garage each of the men {including me} carries a girl into the garage. I take Happy, Walts got Paige and Sly has Meghan. Sly places Meghan in her room.
"I'm going to go visit the other Megan in the hospital." Sly whisper walking towards the garage door.
"I'll drive you." Walter whispers walking after him. I set Happy down on the coach and sit next to her.
"What a day." I whisper taking her hand. I feel a smile grow on my face as she lets out a little snore.
