Secrets

The strength to go on

MEGANS POV: 1 week later

"Megs! phone call!!" laurel screamed to me. I took my knife and threw it at the dummy I was training with. "coming!" I yelled. we were staying at a hotel with field across from it, where I was practicing with Shaun. I ran up to laurel and grabbed the phone "hello?" I said into it, a little winded.

"Is this Rebecca Nesley?" the voice said on the other end.

"How do you know that name? and that's not me. I'm Megan Taylor." I said, who was this kid? the voice sounded vaguely familiar.

"This is Nicholas Bronx, I've been helping Alex." Nick said.

"I remember you now! You're the kid who is helping to take my brother away from me, why would you call me?" I growled into the phone.

"Let's put our differences aside for a moment, okay? I screwed up and I'm sorry Megan, I'm so sorry." Nick said softly. My heart dropped for a moment and Nick continued to speak. "I told your brother about an old warehouse, where your father probably is. and he's heading down to Mississippi to find him. Megan, theirs tons of bad guys their, I would know. your brother is going alone, I don't want to see him dead." I took a deep breathe and thanked him. I had work to do.

"Shaun, lee, Carlos, Kyle, carmen, laurel I need to talk to you guys!" I yelled as I walked into the messy hotel room. Shaun was typing away at his 'super computer' as laurel called it. "sup Megs, you look like you've seen a ghost." Kyle said. "yeah, guys get in here!" I yelled across the room to the girls room, connected to this one. After everyone was here I explained what Nick had said. "So we need to go to Mississippi now?!" Shaun yelled "how long do we have? it's going to take at least a week to get down their." he ran over to his computer and typed a message back to the FPP. "We don't have a week! Alex will be down their in the next 3 days, according to Nick. he had the same tactic as us, double back to make sure no one is tailing you." I said, running around packing this and that and throwing things into Carmen and laurels hands. "pack your stuff! stop staring at me like a bunch of owls!!" I yelled.

It took us 2 hours to pack everything up and put it in our 2 cars. in one car we had Carlos, Carmen and Shaun and in the other we had Me, laurel, lee and Kyle. "I CAME IN LIKE WRECKING BALL!" laurel screamed from the backseat as she listened to her iPod. "oh God, please NO!" Kyle yelled as he sat next to me in the back. I just laughed and flicked through the photos on my phone. I missed Alex so much, I didn't have any family left and I didn't want to loose him. Their was one of Alex riding next to me in my jeep, we were laughing at something. My favorite picture was of Laurel throwing a snowball at Alex. "Megs, you okay?" laurel whispered softly to me. I just smiled weakly "I just miss him, Laurel." I said softly. Kyle looked at me, I could see the guilt on his face. "Megs I'm so-"

"I don't want to hear it Kyle. I don't blame you anymore it's okay. I knew you didn't know." I said, being completely honest. "Ahem!" lee said from the front. "we need to pull over. Shaun just called, were meeting up in that parking lot." He pointed to the lot across from us. "Thank god! I need to stretch my legs!" laurel exclaimed. lee pulled over to the empty lot and we all clambered out of the car.

"Megs!" Carmen yelled, running up to me from the car. " you have a tail!!" I snapped my head towards her "what? then why the hell are we stopped!?" I yelled at her, running towards Shaun. "Megan, we need to switch cars, we believe that someone is following your car." Shaun said, as he pulled his phone out and texted headquarters. "Who is it?" I asked in excitement "is it my father, someone who works for him?!" I Was hoping it was, we could use a hostage. offer up one of my dad's workers for Alex, if worse came to worse. "I don't know, but we need to get out I here. Carmen, Megan an laurel I need you in a car with Carlos. The rest of us will go in the blue van, the one that has a tail." Shaun began pushing us towards the cars. we all got in and Carlos began speeding off, in the opposite direction of the blue van. "can your here me?" shaun said over the walkie-talkie. "yes, loud and Clear." Carlos responded. "You have to say over!" Laurel said. I just rolled my eyes a her and continued looking out of the mirror.
