Akito and Estelle Meet the Incredibles

chapter 13

At the Fudo house, the telephone rang.

"Don't answer it, honey, I got it!" Atticus called as Mo was just about to answer the phone.

Mo frowned, there was something suspicious about her husband's behavior.

Mo then went grocery shopping with Helen to clear her mind and Helen was having the same trouble it seemed.

"I know Bob's happy at work now, but I swear, I heard a different woman's voice on the phone and I found a stray hair on his clothes when I did laundry the other day." Helen said to Mo as they pushed their carts together.

"I'm sure it's nothing." Mo said.

"Hmm..." Helen didn't feel too sure.

"But maybe Atticus has alo been seeing someone." Mo said worried.

"Oh, Mo, no, Atticus wouldn't do that..." Helen replied.

"I dunno..." Mo pouted. "He's been acting like Bob's been..."

"Hmm, that is rather strange." Helen said.

Mo fluttered her lips. "Too bad I'm not the detective..."

"I think we need to do a firm check on our husbands." Helen suggested.

"Agreed." Mo nodded.

Helen nodded back. Both women then checked out their groceries and drove themselves home. Atticus, Akito, and Bob were all now on their way out to their now usual destination.

Bob was having some shrimp with cocktail sauce and was happy as a clam as he gazed around the luxurious cabin.

'This is your automated Captain speaking,' the autopilot spoke up. 'Would you care for more Mimosa?'

"Sure." Atticus said.

"Cream soda for me, please." Akito replied since he wasn't old enough to drink Mimosas.

"Don't mind if we do, thanks." Bob smiled as he accepted the offer.

Their glasses disappeared and were then instantly refilled with their drink requests.

'You're welcome,' the autopilot replied. 'Currently 78 degrees in Nomisan. Please fasten your seat-belts, we're beginning our descent.'

"You got it." Akito said.

As the jet began its descent toward the island, the males looked to see the spectacular aspects. An active volcano, a towering snow-capped peak, tumbling waterfalls, even a futuristic monorail. It was a paradise on Earth.

"They'll never believe this back in Acmetropolis." Akito smiled at the sights.

"No, they will not." Atticus smiled.

Suddenly, the engine cut off and the jet plunged down into the sea.

"And in we go." Akito smiled.

The jet hit the water and converted into a submersible. They were now going under the water into a secret base.

"Nice secret base." Atticus smiled.

"Makes me think of Zadavia's underwater home." Akito said to his dad.

"This sure does." Atticus said.

A door opened for them and let them inside. The water then drained and a docking tube extended from a side wall and connected to the jetsub. Bob, Atticus, and Akito turned as the door opened to reveal a small side chamber with a familiar figure.
