“I'm on a highway to hell! On the highway to hell! Highway to hell! I'm on the highway to hell!” The blue Nissan, and it’s passengers belted out as they crossed the border.
“You guys are so cool! I wanna stay with you guys FOREVER!” Kade grinned excitedly.
“HEAR HEAR!” Tim laughed.
“Settle down, settle down. We’ve just crossed the border, so we’re about five miles off from the pick-up site” Rachel sighed, amused.
“WOW! A real helicopter?” Kade asked, his big brown eyes growing larger in excitement.
“Yeah!!!” Tim cheered.
“I knew it wasn’t a good idea to buy you boys sweets.”
“It was a wonderful idea!” Tim protested.
“No it wasn’t!”
“Yes it was!”
“No!”
“Yes!”
“No!”
“Yes!”
“Hey guys?”
“No!
“Yes!”
“No!”
“GUYS!!!” Kade shouted impatiently at the two bickering agents, “That’s Aunt Hattie’s car!”
“What?” the two agents asked together.
“My aunt, Hattie Lankyr. She helps my mother out at the lab. They’re sisters.”
Tim cursed, as a bullet spiralled at the car, missing by a few centimetres.
“Kade darling, come home, mommy and auntie miss you!” a feminine voice called out over the sound of the two car engines.
The black car behind them zoomed closer, and a window opened as it came in line with its target.
“Kade darling, tell Mr McHugan, and Ms Gordon, to let you go.” Hattie spoke kindly.
A long silence filled the air, and the only sound for those minutes were the car engines.
“No,”Kade shook his head , “I like it here with Tim and Rachel. It’s fun with them. You guys never let me do anything at the lab.”
“Honey, you’re being unreasonable. It’s dangerous in the lab.”
“No I’m not, and it isn’t”
“Kade Louis Rivera! You get into this car right this instant! Your brother is in the recovery room, and I’ll be damned if I let you go with these-these backstabbing pieces of filth! In fact, I”
“-Wait, Louis? My pop’s name-Oh shit,” Tim cursed, his eyes wide, “Y-You’re m-my son? And she never told me!!!”
“Why would she? You cheated on her! She’s not telling you anything! Now, Kade honey, get in! Don’t make me come and get you myself!”
“NO! You’re lying! I watched Noah die!”
“That’s it,” Hattie took out her mobile and dialled, speaking into it, “Brutus, Tank, take them back to the lab. Oh, and knock em out while you’re at it.”
“Hey!” Kade and Rachel interrupted at the same time.
Hattie spoke into her phone again, “Oh, and knock the baldy out first.”
“I am NOT a baldy!!!” Tim spoke, appauled.
“Yeah you are!”
“No I’m n-”
Tim never got to finish his protest, because in that split second, a tranquiliser dart shot straight out of Hattie’s now smoking gun, and into Tim’s back.
“Ouch, that gotta hurt....” Rachel chuckled, “So Hattie, how bout you let me ride in the car with you, while I’m conscious eh?”
“No thanks.” Hattie replied, and shot another tranquiliser dart at Rachel.
~10 MINUTES LATER~
“Well done sister.”
“It’s no problem at all.” Hattie replied, inspecting her nails.
“So, any problems?”
“Uh.. well... Felicity darling, During the uh, process, of uh, bringing the agents back to the lab, uh, well..”
"Spit it out."
“IletKade’smiddlenameslipandTimknowsthatKade’shisson.”
“What?”
“I let Kade’s middle name slip and Tim knows that Kade’s his son” Hattie said slowly.
“Excuse me?”
“You’re excused hun.”
“I-Shut up Hattie. I expected this from anyone else but not from you.” Felicity spat at her sister.
“Miss, the agents are ready for you. They’re in the dining hall.” Lard interrupted, peering in the room.
“Thank you Lard. It seems that you’re the only one I can count on.” Felicity sighed, sending a smile towards the guard.
“Thank you Miss.” Lard smiled at her.
“Now get back to work.” Felicity snapped, turning back to face her sister, who had returned to checking her nails, “Now, Get out Hattie.”
“Fine, fine. I’m going. See ya sis.” Hattie raised her hands up.
“Finally. and why are you standing around doing nothing?!” Felicity exclaimed angrily at Lard , “You’re supposed to be working!”
“Sorry Miss, I’ll go now Miss.” Lard smiled sheepishly, hobbling out of the room.
