Dangerous Illusions

Chapter 28

"What do you mean?" Nathan asked me with a concerned look, but I turned my back on them and walked back to the meeting room,

I pulled out my computer just as Nathan and Daniel walked in,

"Could someone please answer me? What happened to Elizabeth?"

"She was kidnapped," Was Daniel's simple reply while I tried working out a plan to get Liz back to us, safe and away from Paul's dangerous plans,

"By who!?"

"Paul," I said and stood up,

"Wher-"

"The old boathouse. Now, I have a plan, I'm leaving now. I want to get her back as soon as possible. If I'm not back by tomorrow morning latest, please tell Fred and Max to clear the computers and to go to the backup house,"

"Wait, what? I'm going with!" Daniel argued,

"No, you're not, it's dangerous and I don't want anyone else who I care about to get hurt!"

"Exactly! It's dangerous and you could get hurt! I'm going with!" He said while coming around the table and took my wrists, getting me to pay attention to him. I stopped with what I was doing, staring at him,

"First of all, he's right Elna, and secondly, get a room will ya," My head snapped to his direction when I felt a blush creeping up my neck. I glared at him and sighed when I gave in, "Fine! I'm not going to win this one am I?"

"Nope," Nathan answered with a grin,

"Good, I'll go inform your dad and see where Rob disappeared off to,"

Daniel left the room only for me wishing that he would come back, because as soon as the door was shut Nathan was on my case,

"You like him, don't you?"

"You don't know what you're talking about,"

"Yes, I do. He likes you too you know," My head snapped up to him giving my best glare,

"He doesn't now drop it, would you? Could you possibly-"

"Come with you guys? Definitely, there is no way you are going up against Paul on your own, especially after the incident a few years ago,"

"You and Daniel would get along just great. I was going to ask something else, but I guess I wouldn't be able to convince you otherwise either." I said sighing,

"Gear up, and meet me outside in five, if you're not there I will leave without you. Don't think I'm kidding, 'cause I'm not," I said before leaving out the door,

Exactly five minutes later, both Daniel and my brother made it outside with a smug look on their faces.

"On time...surprisingly," I said, muttering the last part under my breath,

"How are we going to get there?"

"I was thinking we could take Nathan's car since he doesn't have a bike, and neither do I. It would also make way to much noise when we arrive there. With the car, we could stop a few meters out of the boathouse's sight and use the element of surprise to reach my sister."

Without waiting for any of their responses, I headed to Nathan's car and got in the driver's seat.

"Hey! No, no, no, no. No. Just no. My car, my rules. I drive, end of story!" Nathan said,

I just stared at him with a dumbfounded expression and replied with, "My plan, my sister, my idea, my life. Which outweighs the other? Also, who is the street racer here?"
