Accidentally in Love [Brett Hand x OC]

"I don't get it. He should have landed right here."

The team were wandering through the woods to try to find Myc, holding out flashlights.

"Myc, you out here, buddy?" Brett called out.

"Well, I guess we tried." Gigi shrugged, she and Theo had given up trying to help and just followed the group lazily.

"Look, bike tracks!" Glenn pointed his torch down to the dirt path, "Small bikes. Kids or possibly Vietcong."

"Great, we're officially government agents looking for a lost extraterrestrial kidnapped by children." Reagan groaned, holding up a sweatband that Myc must have dropped.

"Like that classic movie, Mac and Me." Brett grinned, before looking at Andre apprehensively, who was staring into his torch and giggling.

"This is bad, guys." Reagan paced, "If Myc gets exposed, J.R will make us exterminate the whole town. No one wants that, except maybe Glenn."

"Just keeping our options open." Glenn grinned.

"We can't let a whole town get killed on our watch." Brett frowned, "We'll get fired... or promoted? I can never remember how evil we are."

"I can't track Myc's smartwatch without my phone. Quick, what's the most advanced computing technology we have?" Reagan said, before glancing at Andre, who was playing Simon. "Okay, fork it over."

They crowded around the girl as she easily made a tracking device for Myc out of the Simon game. "Reagan says find Myc, and do not let anyone see you."

It was launched into the air, but quickly was grasped and destroyed by an owl. "Goddamn it! Fucking '80s owl." Reagan snapped, "Global warming will take care of you!"

So, they had no choice but to go into the actual town. First, they head back to the Cognito jet and put on 'disguises'. Everyone but Reagan chose a new outfit that would help them blend in Still Valley, Theo deciding to wear double denim.

Then, they went into town in a van they stole.

"Ah. Still Valley," Glenn sighed as they stepped out of the van, in the town's centre. "where Ronald Reagan is always president and Me Too was just the answer to, 'Who else wants to go to Bennigan's?'"

"Okay, split the town into quadrants and search on foot, while I try to rig a tracker for the signal for Myc's watch." Reagan commanded, before the sound of a siren had the whole group distracted.

"Well, some pretty gnarly driving there, huh?" One police officer said as he hopped out of the car.

"What are you guys, the A-Team?" The other asked, also stepping out of the vehicle.

"What's the A-Team?" Reagan frowned, causing dramatic gasps from the two police officers,

"She don't know The A-Team?"

"Who wouldn't know The A-Team?"

"Of course she knows the most popular show on television," Brett stepped forward, laughing nervously. "which we all watch together as a family, which we are."

"A family, Brett?" Reagan hissed.

"It's the perfect plan." He whispered, "We'll go undercover as an '80s family, earn the town's trust, and locate Myc."

"That's convoluted and wacky." Reagan scoffed, "It'll never work."

"Works for me." One of the officers shrugged, "I hope you guys like the '80s, 'cause that's what the temperature's gonna be all week!"

•

They decided to go through with Brett's plan of pretending to be a family, so they bought a house in the suburbs to stay while they searched for Myc.

"Ah, I still can't believe we were able to buy a 1980s family home with the cash in our wallets!" Andre sighed as they settled into the living room, Reagan studying a map of the town. "Why are baby boomers so mad all the time?"

"We don't know!" Glenn snapped.

"Look, we're just staying in this house as a cover while we hunt for Myc." Reagan sighed. "Now, let's get this over with."

"I have undercover roles for everyone!" Brett said excitedly, "Glenn, you'll be the dad, a gruff yet loveable teacher at the high school. You can grill your students for info!"

"A Guantanamo for teenagers? I love it." Glenn nodded approvingly.

"Gigi, you'll be our mom/editor of the local paper." Brett climbed across the couch to face Gigi, "Snoop that gossip!"

"A baby and a briefcase? I want it all!" Gigi said enthusiastically.

"Andre, you'll be a local Chinese restaurant owner."

"I'm Korean." Andre frowned.

"Reagan, we're fraternal twins." Brett grinned, "I'll be the boy!"

"Fine." Reagan folded her arms, giving in to Brett's cover story.

"And Theo, you'll be my girlfriend." Brett placed his arm around her shoulders, "We're high school sweethearts!"

"I'm happy as long as I'm not related to Reagan anymore." Theo smirked.

"Hey, she is your future sister-in-law." Brett shook her shoulders. "I want you two to get along."

"Okay, whatever." Reagan snapped, "Let's just go investigate wherever normal kids hang out. I wanna say... welding-parts store?"

"Oh, sweet emotionally abused Reagan." Brett sighed, "We're going to the mall!"

•

While Glenn and Gigi were at 'work', the rest of them went to the mall to see if they could find anything that would help them locate Myc.

"Oh, so this is where Cognito unloads all the hazardous products they can't sell anymore." Andre commented as they entered the mall.

"This is the life, eh guys?" Brett sighed as Andre wandered off, "People shopping in actual stores! And instead of smartphones, filthy pay phones!"

"Well, yeah, but we have same-day delivery, Wi-Fi, and phones that we never have to actually talk on!" Reagan raised an eyebrow, "Where's Andre?"

"He's over there," Theo nodded her head to where Andre was chatting up some girls. "doing what he loves most."

Sighing, they continued on. "Oh, maybe I can turn these hoop earrings into weapons and torture information out of someone!" Reagan grinned.

"No!" Brett said, "We're doing this together!"

"Dude, what is your deal?" Reagan looked him up and down, "You have been super clingy ever since we got here."

"Because in the '80s everyone has a clique." Brett said, his arm around Theo's shoulders again, "Nerds, jocks... evil mayors who wanna tear down the rec center."

"Hey, we need our own group name." He continued, "How about the Brett Pack?"

"When would we even use that?" Reagan frowned.

"Brett Pack never says die!" Brett said enthusiastically, and they continued to walk through the mall.

"Guys, I'm tired..." Theo complained after half an hour of more searching. She had lost sight of what they were even supposed to be looking for. "I'm gonna go back to the house."

"Yeah, alright. Classic Theo flaking on the mission." Reagan snapped, her hands on her hips. "Just go, you're being no help anyway."

So she left, sticking her middle fingers up to her sister as she went.
