The Rescue Plan

"This is bad." Eamon whispered harshly as they hid near a bunch of trash.

"Yeah, they've taken both Lars and Fleur. So we're down a cop and a lawyer." Quinn joked trying to ease the mood only to be glared at by Alva who was trying to think of a way to save them.

"The election is going to happen is thirteen hours. If we don't do something about this then we'll lose them forever." Alva explained as they all nodded.

"Aveline, I need your help." She continued as she crouched down to Aveline's height and looked at her in the eye.

"Think, dream for me. I need to know where they're taking them specifically, what room, what floor." She finished as Aveline nodded before suddenly falling unconscious.

"While she's doing that, Eamon, security cameras now. Track them down using their number plate. I want to know where and when they will arrive." Alva ordered as Eamon nodded and started typing furiously on his computer.

"And me?" Quinn asked as Alva looked at him.

"I need you to go to the nearest phone booth and call this number." Alva answered as she wrote down the number on a piece of newspaper she had found and gave it to him.

"Who's this?" Quinn ask as Alva answered him briefly.

"Just say that you want to go on a date with her. She'll understand."

"But I don't-"

"Just do it."

And with that, Quinn walked away, grumbling silently as he searched for the nearest booth.

"Rhys, guard Aveline. Guide her through it." Alva said as Rhys nodded and held Aveline's right hand.

"Without those two you've become very responsible Alva, I didn't think you had it in you." Eamon mumbled causing him to get hit on the head.

"Now is not the time. Information now. Lay it on me." Alva ordered as Eamon sighed before starting:

"They're in the government building near here, the cameras all stop there unfortunately, that and they got rid of the cars in the building near government building."

"Which means all we have to do now is make sure Quinn gets the help we need." Alva stated as she thought deeply to herself.

"Who's number was that anyway?" Eamon asked curiously as Alva smirked

"A friend of mine that can help us, that and she so happens to have a secret weapon we can use to go undetected."

"I got it." Was the quote they've been waiting for as Quinn came into view.

"It was weird that she knew exactly what to give me but it worked. I got the radio jammer." Quinn stated proudly as he handed it to Alva.

"Good, no one saw you?" Alva asked curiously as Quinn shook his head as conformation before Alva prepared the device in her hand. 

Once she finished, the light on the device turned on and started blinking rapidly, initiating the start of the plan and time for Aveline to finally wake up from her vision. Hesitantly, Rhys woke Aveline up and moved away from her, just in case she jolted awake from her sleep. 

It felt like minutes before she finally awoke, screaming for help, in which Alva quickly reacted to and hugged the tiny girl protectively while Rhys looked concerned and confused at the same time. 

"It's okay..." Alva shushed as she rocked Aveline back a forth soothingly. 

"Lars. Fleur. Tortured." Aveline cried as Alva shut her eyes closed, as if expecting that to happen. 

"That's why we are going to rescue them. Tell me what you saw." Alva ordered softly as Aveline looked at her before nodding. 

"Floor 6. Need card. 3 guards outside. Big guns. Get card. Go to floor. 5th room from lift. On the right. Lab." Aveline stated simply as she scrunched her eyebrows, trying to remember every singly detail she could. 

"Good. Thank you." Alva said kissing her forehead before Aveline finally relaxed and nodded. 

"You two. Stay here. Guard Rhys and Aveline." She instructed the twins as they looked at her shocked. 

"Are you serious right now? You can't go there alone!" Quinn stated angrily as Alva glared at him. 

"I can and I will. If anything happens to me I know that you four are safe. I need you to promise me that." Alva pleaded as she looked into Quinn's eyes who slowly looked away and his gaze met his twin's before nodding in agreement. 

"Alright. We'll stay. But you have to promise us that you'll come back." He stated as Eamon nodded in agreement. 

"You know I can't-" 

"Promise us." Eamon ordered as he took Alva's right hand into his own and looked at her with sadness. Alva sighed and reluctantly nodded before the twins hugged her as if saying good luck and possibly goodbye. 

"Be careful." 

"I always am." Alva smirked before catching sight of a motorcycle that had just so happened to be lying around, coming with the keys and full fuel. She quickly got on and waved at the four remaining siblings before driving away towards the government building, the only thing protecting her was the radio jammer. 

"I hope this works."
