Happily Ever After???

Chapter 8: The Return of Scarlett Calloway

Gray POV
I could see my son freeze as soon as this girl that looked exactly like Carmen said, "I've been compromised, send back-up." as I did. Jason and I took a step back as the ground became undone. The girl stood defiantly and unfazed as El Topo appeared from the hole. I froze as well as did El Topo. 

"Crackle," El Topo quirked her head to oneside. 

"El Topo," I say with coldness in my tone, "Still working for V.I.L.E are you?" 

El Topo nodded. "How are you and Carmen?" 

"If you have to know, Carmen died in childbirth with my son 9 months after my daughter was kidnapped, been searching for her ever sinse." I say with more coldness in my voice than I ever have been. 

El Topo froze looked at the girl, then at us. I shrugged my shoulders. El Topo spoke to the girl, "Red Sheep get back to Tigress and the group, we cannot blow our cover." 

Red Sheep (Wich was very similar to Black Sheep) Nodded to El Topo and ran the other direction. I nodded to Jason and motioned him to follow Red Sheep. Without another word, my son ran off in the same direction Red Sheep did. I did a Roudhouse kick and knocked El Topo to the ground. I pressed two fingers to my earpiece, "Player, alert Ms. Calloway that we might have found Scarlett." 

"You do know, she is your wife and you can just call her Ca-" Player began before relizing, "Oooo, I see what your doing. Notifying. . .now!" 

Jason POV
I have no idea what the whole thing between dad and the stranger was but I had to do what dad told me. Red Sheep was fast but not fast enough. I cut her off and knocked her off her path. We landed on the floor with me on top of her. She pushed me off, protesting, "Ugh, get off of me Jason!" 

I get up and offer her a hand, she rejects it and continues running on her current path. "Red Sheep, wait!" I run in front of her which she does a front flip to accelerate on her current pat. She lands behind me and i follow after her. Red Sheep kicked open the door to the museum and ran towards a black van. I feel a club collide with the back of my head. I clamber to floor, groaning in pain. I see Red Sheep turn to see me on the floor. There's horror in her eyes. A girl with light magenta hair looked out the van and called out to the girl in front of me, "Scar--Red Sheep! Get in!" Red Sheep looked from me to the girl. Instead of jumping in the van with her friends she reached in her pocket and tossed something to the van that filled the atmosphere with thick smoke. My captor fled, looking for the van. Red Sheep appeared at my side and helped me up. 

This girl confuses me. "Wh-why are you helping me?" I weakly ask. 

She shakes her head, "I feel. . .a close bond to you. I don't know what it is, but all I know is that it hurts my heart to see you hurt." Red Sheep sets me down near some bushes and hands me a bracelet that I didn't notice on her right wrist. "I don't know what this is, or who gave it to me. All I know is that it's some sort of tracker if I press this button. I have no idea who's on the other end. I've always been to afraid to find out. Maybe it can help you." 

Red Sheep looked off into the distance at the sound of someone calling her name. She turns back to  me, "Please stay away. To keep you safe, don't follow me. If anyone finds out I helped you, I'll cease to be in this world." 

Red Sheep looks longingly into my eyes before sinking away into the mist of the smoke. A second later a hear the roar of an engine drive away, taking the smoke with it. 

"Jason!" Dad runs to me, mom hot on his heels. "Oh my god, Jason, baby, your head is swolen!" Mom began playing doctor on my head, but stops as she sees me examine Red Sheep's bracelet. 

"Where'd you get that," Mom says sharply. I look at her confused. She's acting like she's seen a ghost! "Jason. Veldez. Calloway. Where in the world did you get that?" she repeats. 

"The girl who says her name is Red Sheep gave it to me saying, 'I don't know what it is, or who gave it to her. All she knows is that it's a tracker'." I respond gently. 

Mom softly takes the bracelet from my hand as if it was going to break. A silent tear slides down her left cheek, and turns to dad. "Gray. . ." 

Dad mutters a name that sounded vaguely similar to what the magenta haired girl was gonna call Red Sheep, "Scarlett. . ." 

Mom drops the bracelet and cries softly into her hands muttering the same phrase over and over again, "Could she be alive after all this time?"

Dad picked up the bracelet and smiles softly as if the bracelet was a lost child that he had found.
