Dysfunctional

Chapter 6: South East Side

I landed the south east side of the Bronx. Nathan landed next to me in regular clothes.

"I doubt this will work" He scowled.

"Just shut the fuck up and go" I snapped.

He hopped from the roof. I threw a tracker on his back without his knowledge. So at least I'll know where he is. I put the jet in cloak and slipped on my head set.

The attention Nathan brought to himself wasn't at all helpful. People gawked at his silverish hair and his bright blue eyes. The little girls clung to him like glue while the older ones desperately begged for his number.

"Shake them off..." I muttered.

"Why?...I love the attention."

"AIM isn't going to bother some one who is crowded."

I heard a long sigh "I'm sorry ladies I have to go some where. Please leave me alone."

"Where are you going?" One said.

"I have to......" Nathan went on. "To my mothers. I have to go to my mothers."

"No stay." A child said. His head leaned back and he grunted.

"Could you let go of my hair."

"Turn off the glasses first"

We both froze. His breath was heavy and in shock. "W- What do you mean turn off? They just help me see"

They glasses were ripped off and broken. "Marcus.....f....fu" His voice was scratched and broken but I know he was worried. The dot suddenly disappeared. I looked in shock and disbelief.

I hit the controls in anger. "DAMN IT."

I immediately called Brook and she was in hysterics. "Well did you put a tracker??"

"Yes I did. It disappeared."

"Did you even go look where he was"

"I have a vague idea."

"Well now Nathan might become like Lucy! Marcus what are we going to do? Nathan is gone with another organization."

"Stop panicking because if you panic I PANIC. I'll find him. I'm calling my sister."

"What is she going to do magically find him?"

"I need someone to have my back."

"But.... I mean..... I'm here....." She suddenly got quiet. The atmosphere lost its tension as I blanked trying to understand why my girlfriend made such an obvious statement. Of course shes here. Where else would she-

"Oh! OH! Oh no I didn't mean it like that. I just thought you were busy with all that shit you do. I don't want to bother or put you in danger....."

"Just ask me. You never know..."

"Do you want to help me with this mission."

"No I'm busy." She snorted adorably. I smiled.

"Come back to the helicarrier and brief me on what happened exactly."

"I'm heading up now..."

I sat in the meeting room glaring at Brook. She read the notes I made and her reaction said it all.

"He was seduced?"

"Trying to be." I shrugged. She moved her lips as far right as they can. "We should ask Lucy how she was brought in...."

"They were agents of some sort. He was wearing the shield glasses and they knew about it. They must have known about the tracker as well." I looked out the door.

"Don't worry about Nathan. He's a tough kid. Like you." She said smugly.

"Oh just because we both are younger than you, we're kids?"

"Must you nit pick everything I say?" she laughed.

"Yes."

"It maybe only 3 days but it still counts!" she winked getting up to go to the door.

I slid towards her view and knocked some of the papers down. They weren't in order so it didn't matter. She looked down at the papers then at me. "Age doesn't mean jack shit when I'm taller and stronger than you."

"You're stronger than me? Since when?"

"Is this a challenge Ms. Sader? Cause I'd go down on you anyday."

"We have to finish this mission." She smirked with her blushed face.

"Oh. Yes. Right."

She hit my leg playfully and picked up the papers. "Nathan is in trouble and would kill us if we were fooling around instead of saving him."

"You're right. He can be needy sometimes." I said closing the door behind us.
