Chapter 25 - Headache's Heartache

It was around 8pm, Noah and Angelo were in the bedroom talking, and Arii was listening to music with Tayte, sat on his lap. I was just about to head outside when my phone rang,

"Where are you?

Outside, come and meet me

No, come inside

Keane, just get your ass out here now"

"I'll be back in a minute" I told Tayte who looked at me cautiously, "Well...Hello" I then said once outside, Tammara was stood there looking like a Hell's Angel,

"I told you, I was in the middle of something" she said and then she hugged me, "I've been so worried about you"

"I've survived so far, thanks to you" I told her,

"We're not finished yet though. I know you want some answers and I can tell you what I know, but then we need to head back to England, so we can get that memory stick into hands that are able to sort this mess out"

It had just gone past midnight and we were finally bedding down. Tammara had left, despite everyone saying she should and could stay. We were meeting her at the airport tomorrow at midday for our 3pm flight back to England. Yes, we were all going home, Angelo was then hiring a car and driving to see his Mum and sister, whilst we were going with Tammara, to find her Dad. It turned out that George Levi Chance had been murdered, he was with her Dad and my parents when they were targeted and he didn't manage to get away like Mum, Dad and Parker. Tammara knew that they'd been burned and were off the grid and that they were basically on their own, nothing worked for them anymore. They had to become ghosts in order to survive. The basic overview of the mission was looking into the hierarchy of the agency. They knew that there were leaks and dirty agents selling out locations and targets to other major agencies, the mafia and other terrorist groups. There was talk in and around MI6, but no one had the guts to do anything about it. It wasn't just MI6 top dogs who were dirty and had secret bank accounts of millions of pounds, there was an interlinked group of all the highest leaders in every intelligent agency. The FBI, Homeland Security, CIA, MI5, MI6 and many others that people don't know about. They were all working together to make sure their secret was kept and that they received as much money as possible. Our parents, Parker and George rebelled and for that are being hunted down by everyone. The bosses had enough money to pay off lower agents to do their dirty work for them. So of course I asked who the hell we could trust with the information on the memory stick if nearly everyone was being paid off, or so scared they'd never say or do anything. Tammara said that her Dad was back in England in a secret hide out and if we got him the information then he would be able to do enough damage to cause a lot of chaos.

The thing was, were we going to make it back to England, or was some other disaster going to strike?

I couldn't sleep, I was led on the floor wide awake, I'd won the fight to sleep on the floor and was beginning to regret it. I felt like I didn't deserve the comfy bed, plus I knew I'd be tossing and turning all night and didn't want to ruin Tayte or Arii's sleep because my mind wasn't being fair. I also had a headache and it was pounding throughout my skull, a continuous throbbing sensation. I couldn't stand it any longer, I sat up, everyone was peacefully sleeping. I stood up, grabbing my hoody and left the room, it was quiet, eerily quiet. I checked to see that Ricardo and Carlita were both sleeping and then headed outside. The cobbled streets were deserted, the odd stray dog wandering past, the odd voice could be heard, but Rochina was asleep. Using my light as a torch I began to slowly head off down a street, noting where I'd came from so I wouldn't get lost. I needed to clear my head and hopefully the fresh air would ease my headache.
