The Pacifier

Cleaning, Leaving, and Fighting

On the way, we dropped off all the other girls, and I told Lulu about the time Clint left me behind.

"Okay, so I told him I had the package secured and was ready for transport. He said how do you want me to take it? I strapped myself to the end, said you don't want me to answer that. Shoved the package out the door of the semi-truck. It and I free fell, and about the time we were supposed to enter. The package does, and I don't. The guy we were taking it from snatched me out of the air, and your dad flew away. He flew away. He left me in the arms of the bad guy." I told her.

Clint spoke up, "Hey, now. I found you, didn't I? And we came and got you. You were okay. But what about you, huh? How many times have you left me behind?"

I glared at him. "You did, but only after I MacGyvered the heck out of an old radio and sent you the coordinates. And never you brat. I always went back for you when you were suddenly not with me anymore."

"Oh, yeah. How about Loki?" He asked.

"That wasn't my fault. We were on two separate missions. I was nowhere near you. You were the idiot who got in the way. And if memory serves me correctly, and usually it does. I went looking for you and brought you back." I answered him.

"Yeah, with a bad headache."

I just shrugged, "Well,...What the heck?" I asked "What's going on here?" We had pulled up to the house by now and found all the lights on, music playing loudly, and tons of people hanging around.

"I don't know, but I'm killing the children." Clint responded.

"Lulu stay in the car with your brothers. Keep the doors locked; until you see me or your dad." I told her getting out of the car.

"Yes, ma'am."

Clint and I both headed into the house. It was mostly just kids being kids. Drinking, talking, dancing, and then we happened on three or four guys passing the football in the house. As I walked by, I reached up and snagged the ball out of the air. I then handed it to Clint, who squeezed it and the air went out of it. "Beat it." He said to one kid.

I kept going and found the stereo. I turned it off and watched as everyone turned to find out what happened. While looking around for a second, I saw Alex on the couch with Scott. "Party's over. Your all going to clean this house spotless. No highway option. So, get cleaning." I said loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I'm out of here." Scott said, and then threw Alex onto the ground. He took off towards the back door. This caused everyone to try, and scatter. I let Clint handle them; while I went after the jerk that just dumped my niece to the floor. I chased him down the hallway and watched him try to escape from the doggy door. I grabbed his legs, and pulled him back in. I picked him up, and pulled him close. "Oh, no you don't."

Then I felt something land on my shoulder. I looked up to find bologna and condiments on the ceiling. "Are you kidding me?" I yelled. "This is my favorite shirt. Everybody freeze! Your stuck here until this house is spotless. Get to work, now!"

Everyone stopped, saw how pissed I was, and started to clean the house. I took Scott to Clint, and told him to take care of it. "I'm going to get Lulu and the boys."

I walked outside, and found some of the school kids cleaning up out there as well. I walked over to the car, and had Lulu help me get the boys and food out. We went into the house, and I sent Lulu to her room to change and then went to change the boys and myself.

When I get done with the boys I leave Peter with Lulu and take Sebastian with me downstairs. I see Clint walking around supervising. I start looking over some of the areas as well; while doing so I run across a girl holding a cd that says ghost on it. I take it from her. "Thank you." I said quietly.
