Trouble

Chapter 5

When we entered Wesleywood the streets were quiet, and after a few turns we stopped in a driveway of a beautiful two story house.

It was a white picket fence kind of house with a gorgeous garden out front. I couldn't wait to get inside.

The inside was more beautiful than the outside, dad and I took a few minutes to look around and pick a room. My room had a walk in closet and bathroom connected. The truck with all our luggage won't be here until 9 the next morning.

"Hey dad" I yelled to him.

"What's up?" He said walking into my new room.

"Did you bring them?" I ask smiling.

"Why yes, yes I did, they're in the back of the car" he said and ran for the front door. Shit! knowing my dad he's already found a hiding spot and is going to get his nerf gun first and hide inside.

I run for the door and then straight out to the car, the boot was open and their was an assortment of different nerf guns just screaming my name. I picked up the two biggest and strapped a small one to my back.

I walked stealthily back to the house with my three guns loaded and once I got to the door I had already formed a plan. I smirked evilly and started to sing "OHHH WE'RE HALF WAY THERE OHH-OH"

Then as if on cue I can hear my dads voice on the first story "LIVING ON A PRAYER" then a thud and a curse followed, I laughed and bolted upstairs to the second story.

Around the end of the hallway is a manhole I jump and pull the string so the ladder falls down, I fake my way up and run to my room behind the ladder.

I run for the walk in closet and jump for the secret hidie hole that I found earlier, I close the door and lift the ceiling part so I can see the light producing from the hallway.

There is no mistaken dads heavy footsteps running up the stairs. Ha I so have him!!

I hear him stop, presumably in front of the ladder.

"Damn it" he mutters before cautiously stepping up the ladder and as soon as his all the way up I let him scan the area for a split second then I let loose a few rounds all of them hitting their intended target.

I squeal in delight (yes I squealed get over it) before I jump back down close the latch and high tail it out the back door that lead to the kitchen.

Once outside I'm afraid their is nowhere to hide except a really big tree that leads to next doors back yard.

To throw my dad off my scent I throw one of my guns in the tree making it catch on some branches looking like I jumped into the tree.

I headed for the side of the house gun in hand ready, ready for my pray to emerge from the house and as if on que dad walked out, well not particularly walked. More like tried to sneak out, as he started moving towards the tree.

"Hey old man!" I holler but stay in the shadows
"Old? Who you calling old girl?" Dad yells as he turns around, eyes searching everywhere.
"Your inside, aren't you?" He smiles evilly as he walks toward the house.
Ha as if! He heads inside and I turn around. I nearly scream when I see a figure behind me but the person held a hand against my mouth.
"Don't scream" the deep voice said "I just need to get over your fence" I nod and he lets go.
I see his face in the moonlight "Restaurant guy!" I exclaim
"BG" he says back.
"BG?" I question
"Bloody girl" he says "BG is just an abbreviation"
"I don't like it" I say and then as if a light bulb was turned on I look up at him and say "Hey! You didn't even apologise!"
"Come out, come out wherever you are" I hear my dad yell slightly as he passes the window and I quickly pull the guy down.
"Are youse playing a game of hide and seek?" He asks
"No!" I exclaim "Were having a nerf gun war, got a problem with it? Because if so, then I don't mind kicking your ass"
"Whoa! Calm down there Fido" he says
"Fido? What the hell is wrong with you and nicknames?" I say and then see my fathers shadow as he walks past the window again "Shhh" I exclaim as he's about to say something.
I peek in the window and see my dad trying to sneak, the floorboard creaked and he went dead still, probably thinking I'm going to jump out at him.
He smiled after a few seconds of silence   then I watched him creep up the stairs.
"Idiot" I giggle to myself then run for the tree sticking to the shadows I try to grab my gun but I threw it too high up.
"Damn!" I say
"Here let me" said restaurant guy.
I stood back and crossed my arms, I was fuming! How dare he be taller than I! How dare he help me!
I look up after stamping my foot that seemed to be in agreement with my mind. Restaurant guy was sitting in the god damn tree with a smirk on his face holding my gun out towards me.
"Don't be cocky!" I say and snatch it from him, "don't you have somewhere to be?" I continue.                              
"I sure do! See ya later alligator" he says and jumps from the tree and over the fence quite easily.
"I'm not even going to ask why you needed to jump the fence, if you have the front door" I say talking to the fence apparently as I got no reply I continue with one word, "asshole"
"I heard that" said the ass as he climbed through a window of the house next door. He turned with a smirk and said these last words before slamming his window, "Looks like we're neighbours Ali"
"That's not even my name asshole" I seethe at his window, totally forgetting about the nerf war.
"Oh, Izzy" my dad called out from the back door.
SHIT! I turn and see his gun trained at my head and before he lets go of any ammo I am behind the huge tree. HA! Well done me!
I ready my gun as I hear footsteps. "You're going DOWN old man" I yell
"No way foetus! You are gonna die today!" He yells back.
I peek my head around and don't see him at all, I peek around the other side and still don't see him. Shit... I need to think of a plan. Somehow my eyes ended up travelling up to restaurant guys window. He was standing there smiling at me. Weird. The window was open again.
"He's in the bushes beside the back door the ones on the right" restaurant guy whispers so only I'm able to hear.
For some weird reason I replied with a small smile "Thanks RG"
"RG?" He questions
"Restaurant guy. RG is just an abbreviation" I say using his words from before.
I turn and aim my gun before letting off more then a few rounds. My father yells in distress and he falls out of the bushes and fake dies dramatically.
"Oh old decayed one. You were ever such a drama queen" I say as I slink towards him. He was pretending to be taking his last few breaths, "Any last words?"
"Yeah" He splutters for affect "I'm not going alone"
A look of confusion sets on my face as I start to say "What.." I don't get to finish as it clicks inside my head the same time I hear the click of his gun.
A nerf bullet hits me right in the centre of my forehead. I let out a cry and fall toward the grass "Noooooooooo" I splutter with my last breath and close my eyes. After about five seconds of sweet beautiful silence dad and I fill the night air with roars of laughter as we sit up on the grass.
"H-How did you know I was in the bush?" My dad says as our laughs subside.
For a hot second my eyes went to RGs window. He was still there smiling, he waved then disappeared as I gave him a slight nod.
"I saw your gun you big galoof" I lie easily a smile at my father.
