Alter Egos - Undead Enemies

Chapter 2- The Asking of Questions

Third Person POV:

Michaela, Blake and Tara get dropped off at their great nan's house for the night time until they are picked up in the morning by Jordan and Becca. This was routine because Jordan and Becca didn't want to reveal their secrets to their children in fear of what they would think and for fear that they would want to do the same. That was not what Jordan and Becca wanted. They didn't want their kids to have this lifestyle they wanted a normal one. Anyway.

The three kids get dropped off. And they stay together and play a game and start to discuss various topics. But there is one that occurs every night. And it always comes from Tara.

"What do you think Mum and Dad do? When we are here?!" Tara asks politley.

"I don't know. This is just the way it has always been." Blake responded.

"But is it not a little weird that we don't spend an evening with them? We never sleep at home!" Tara then asked.

"To be fair she has a point. We spend all day with them when we are not in school and then they bring us here every night!" Michaela then added.

"Well me and you are quote good at mischief Michaela. Shall we find out what they do?!" Blake asks.

"I'm up for that. What about you Tara?" Michaela then further asks.

"I don't want to anger then though. But I would like to know. So... Fine I'm in. How do we do this?" Tara asks.

"Well how about we ask Jessie and that lot. They must know as they are close friends of them!" Blake then states.

"Well plan set then. It's school holidays for two weeks so we have plenty of time! Just make sure you are carful around Dad though. Have you seen him struggling lately?" Michaela then speaks caringly.

"Yeah. I know he has struggled every now and again but not like this. I just hope that he is ok!" Tara then adds.

"I wonder how Mum feels when she sees him like that and tries to help him until he says 'No I'm fine just a little pain nothing I can't handle!' I mean it must be horrible." Blake then says.

"Yeah. But Mum is strong so I think she will cope well." Michaela added.

"Kids!" Their Great Nan says.

"Yeah!" They all shout back.

"Time for bed now!" She shouts back up the stairs, "Love you!"

"Love you too Nan!" They all shout back.

They all go to bed with their plan ready on their heads.

THE NEXT MORNING

Michaela, Blake and Tara all wake up and then get picked up by Becca and Jordan. They go to the Æ headquarters for the morning. The three kids split up and try to find out some information on their parents.

Tara goes up to Lauren.

"Hey Lauren." Tara says politley.

"Yo. What's going on Tara?!" Lauren asks.

"Well. Do you know what Mum and Dad do when we are at Nan's?!" Tara asks.

"No I don't know mate. Sorry. I leave before they do so no clue I'm afraid!" Lauren replied lying.

"Ok. Thank you anyway." Tara replied nicely.

Blake decides he is going to ask Charlotte.

"Hi Charlotte." He says.

"Oh hi Blake. What's happening?!" Charlotte asked.

"Well I was just wondering. You're one of Mum's closest friends. What does she and Dad do when we are at Nan's?" Blake questions.

"Ummm. I do t know Blake. Sorry. I leave before them and she doesn't say what she does once you are at your Nan's. Sorry dude." Charlotte responds. Again lying.

"That's ok. Thank you." Blake disappointingly says as he was hoping to find it out. He then leaves to then meet the group.

Michaela wanders up to Shanice.

"Hi Shanice." Michaela states.

"Oh hey Michaela. What you doing here?!" Shanice questions.

"Well you're Dad's cousin. So I was wondering whether you know what he and Mum do when they drop us off at Nan's?" Michaela questions.

"Well. I don't know. You're father never talks about what he does. So I've no idea I'm afraid, sorry." Shanice lyingly replies.

"That's ok. Thank you anyway!" Michaela replies and then walks off to meet the group.

The group of siblings meet up and then discuss what they found.

"What did you find out?!" Blake asked the girls.

"Nothing. Lauren doesn't know anything." Tara reports.

"Neither does Shanice." Michaela adds.

"Nor Charlotte. Well there is one more person we need to ask. Come on!" Blake says to the others. They all nod then go to Jessie's office and Jessie then turns around and looks at them.

"Hello, what do you want?! Jessie asks nicely.

"Well do you know what Mum and Dad do after they drop us off at nan's house?!" Blake asks.

"Do I know what they do?!... Hmm. I could think of done things.... But no. I don't know what they do I'm afraid. Sorry guys." Jessie replied then wen tab k to her computer.

"That's ok Jessie." Blake said and then he left.

AT JORDAN'S DESK

"I have four emails. One from Lauren, Shanice, charlotte and Jessie. Oh dear babe!" Jordan says.

"Yes babe?!" Becca asks.

"Umm. It's the kids. The day has come." Jordan replies.

"Are they asking questions?!" Becca replies.

"Yes. Luckily none of them have said and they have all believed them bit I know one idiot that could screw it up if she returns." Jordan then replies.

BACK WITH THE CHILDREN

The children were now walking around the headquarters a little down about the fact that they still haven't worked out what their parents do when they drop them off. Then Chinnock returns and spots the kids. The only problem is that she has just cos back from a mission.

"It's no wonder why this is the job your parents do. Jeez its so breathe taking, dangerous and so fun!" Chinnock says to them.

Blake being the more sly and sophisticated he's tired for the girl's to be quiet. He then speaks to Chinnock calmly.

"What jobs is that Sam?" Blake asks

"Assassination. Killing people." Chinnock replies.

"And when do these assassinations' take place?" Blake then asks.

"After sundown when the dark ego transformation occurs." Chinnock replies again.

"Oh ok. See you later." Blake then says and the group walk away.

"So that's what they do? We need to talk to them about it! Because you know we are their kids!" Blake says to the group.

"Yeah and I kinda want to be with Mum and Dad at night!" Tara added.

"Come on then. We know where they are so let's go and ask them." Michaela added.

They all left to go to Jordan and Becca's office.
