This is Love (Completed)

Chapter 33

"Douglas?! You're back with them? Why?" Chase asked his Uncle.

"Because.......I like winning," Douglas said with a wicked smile outstretching his hands a little, until Giselle slapped his hands away and he put his hands on either side of his body.

"Uncle Douglas, out of all the villains that we've faced, we've beat every single of them and we were winning," Tyler said.

"Out of all the villains you've beat, huh." Douglas motioned towards Giselle and Victor Krane. "Then who are these two? Ghosts?"

Adam opened his mouth, but Jack stopped him. "Don't answer that, Adam." And he closed his mouth shut.

"Douglas, you betrayed us, and you will pay for it!" Kim exclaimed.

"You all just shut up!" Giselle shouted and everyone looked over at her. Ever since the video started, Victor Krane did not move an inch. "We didn't call you to just talk and chit-chat. We called to tell you that we have a surprise gift for you. Would you like to see it?" Giselle asked them.

"It's not a surprise gift if you're going to show it to us," Adam said and KC smacked him in the chest. "Stop it, Adam."

"What? I'm just stating the fact."

"Get ready for your gift." Giselle moved out of the way and the family saw Donald tied to a chair, his mouth sealed with a cloth, unconscious. "Big D!" Leo Dooley shouted.

"Grandpa Donald!" Alicia screamed.

"Scream at the top of your lungs. He's not going to hear you. We gave him a heavy dose to make him sleep for a little while than normal, so sorry, but you won't be able to talk to your darling father," Giselle said and laughed wickedly.

"Did she just say 'darling father'?" Sophie whispered to her mother, Bree.

"Ok, Giselle, we will give you whatever you need or want, but please leave our father alone," Chase said.

"Told ya that they will give in without even thinking," Douglas said to Giselle and she rolled her eyes at him and looked back at the screen.

"You will receive a box at the front of your house, Leo Dooley. Open the box and there will be instructions on what you have to do. You must follow the instructions in a orderly fashion, otherwise we will inject this poison in your father and you all will watch suffer a slow, painful death," Giselle held out the syringe and there was some kind of yellow liquid in it and the screen went black.

All of them were looking at each other with fear and tension written on their faces. Their grandfather and father are in Douglas, Giselle and Krane's hostage and they're worried as to what will happen next.

"Well, why are we standing around? Let's get the box from outside," Andre ran upstairs and everyone else ran after him.

"Andre, wait!" Janelle shouted after him. Andre made it to the front door, opened it and was about to lift the box that was on the ground until Jack stopped him.

"Andre, stop! Don't touch it. We can't trust those people. There could be something explosive in there," Jack scolded his nephew.

"Uncle Jack, why would they put something explosive in this box when they want us to play around their fingers and us trying to save Grandpa Donald?" Andre said.

"Andre, do you hear yourself?" Jada said to her brother and he stuck his tongue at her. "You don't know Douglas, Krane, and Giselle as well as we do. They could do anything. Jada, go bring the bomb detect device," Jack said to Jada and she left for the basement to get the device. Seconds later, she came back with the device and gave it to Jack.

Jack took the device and scanned the whole box, and there was no beeping sound. "There's nothing explosive in this. Let's bring it inside and see what it is," Jack said and lifted the box from the ground, brought inside, closed the front door, and laid it on the coffee table in the living room.

Everyone was staring at the box, not being sure whether it is safe to open it, even though there is no explosive items in it. Chase carefully opened the box and inside the box was an iPad, a long red envelope, and four white envelops.

"In this big box for just these three small things? What a waste of cardboard," KC complained.

"iPad is not a small thing," Bree said.

"Compared to this size of this electronic and the box, yes it is a small thing," KC stated her point.

Chase turned on the iPad and it showed a picture of a young Giselle and Douglas. "This is definitely Douglas's iPad," Adam said and everyone agreed.

Kim took out the red envelope and said, "This might be Giselle's instructions for us." She teared the envelope open and took out a piece of paper, but as soon as she unfolded the paper, she was shocked to see that there was nothing written on the paper.

"Guys, there's nothing on this paper," Kim says and checked the back of the paper, but didn't find any handwriting.

"There's nothing written on there? What kind of trick is this?" Jack got angry. 

"It may be written in invisible ink. Let me get a pencil," Caty said and grabbed a pencil from the office room. She came back, Kim gave the paper to her and Caty started smudging the side of the lead of the pencil on both sides of the paper, but she didn't get anything.

"There's actually nothing on this paper," Caty finalized.

The iPad rang and they were receiving a video call from Giselle.

Before Chase answered it, he connected the iPad to the TV screen, answered the video call and Giselle appeared on the screen.

"Oh good, you got the box," Giselle said softly.

"Do you have your volume low? We can't hear you," Adam said and KC smacked him in the chest...again.

"My volume is up!" Giselle shouted and everyone jumped back. "Ok sheesh," Adam said defensively with his hands up.

"Giselle, what kind of joke is this? There's nothing written on the paper," Kim exclaimed.

"I know. I can never trust you guys with paper," Giselle said.

"That does not make any sense at all," Bree beat down Giselle.

"Whatever. Anyway, I have a reason for this call. In those four white envelopes, there are some tasks that you must do, so that you can save your darling father," Giselle started explaining.

"Is it just me or do you have a soft corner for my grandpa?" Alicia asked Giselle.

"Shut up! Anyway, where was I?...Oh yes! You have to fulfill the tasks that have been given to you in those four white envelopes. You have to save four people who are right now tied up and are close to getting poison in their bodies." The screen switched, showing a screenshot of four people standing with their heads covered, their tied hands are hanging from two ropes and those ropes are tightly hooked on on a hook from a low ceiling. "There are clues in the envelopes. You only have 30 minutes to solve each clue. If you do not solve each clue on time, then the poison will go in these people and they will roam freely in the town and because of their exposure to the poison, others around them will die. If you do solve each clue on time, then these people will get released, poison free."

They all looked at each other. "Number one rule: DO NOT USE YOUR BIONICS! If you use your bionics to complete the tasks, I will not delay in getting rid of your father. And your time starts now. Good luck," Giselle said and the screen went black.
