Upon The Isle

The Pickup

Carlos knocks on the door again in fear. He turns around to look at Mal and the door opens just enough to where you can see one eye. The man from behind the door has a raspy voice almost like an elderly man. "H-H-how can I help you little boy" the man from inside says. Carlos gulps and then speaks. "Um. W-well I-I'm looking for a b-boy named G-Gerald. He's the s-son of Hans." The old man takes a pause. "Sure, would you like to come in? I have some fresh prune juice in the fridge." Carlos looks back at the squad. Mal nods her head from side to side softly. Carlos turns back around to the elderly man. "Um no thank you." The old man sighs. "Alrighty then I'll get Gerald." The old man closes the door and inside was quiet. After about 10 minutes the door opened all the way. A little boy was at the door. He looked to be about 9 years old. Carlos got on one knee and began to speak to the boy. "Hi, you must be Gerald. I'm Carlos. Um, my friend Mal would like to take you to Auradon for questioning." Gerald doesn't speak. Carlos giggles. "It's okay if your shy, I'll help you through this. We just need to ask you some questions." Gerald speaks in a soft voice. "Okay, just don't hurt me." Carlos giggles again. "Hurt you? We are good people. We wouldn't ever hurt you." Gerald waves goodbye to the elderly man. "By the way that's my grandpa. My dad is in Jail so I live with my grandpa." Carlos hugs Gerald. "I'm sorry about that." Gerald stays silent and climbs into the limo. Carlos is getting ready to go in behind him when Mal grabs his shoulder. "Hey, I get you're trying to be nice but he's supposed to be the enemy here. Keep your eyes and ears open." Carlos rolls his eyes and climbs into the limo behind Gerald. They drive out of the deepest part of the Isle and make their way back to Auradon.
Meanwhile in Uma's Hideout:
Uma wakes up to her phone ringing. The caller ID is Mal's cellphone number. Uma answers the phone. "Wassup Mal?" Mal gulps. "Hey Uma we have who we think the mystery villain is, his name is Gerald. Son of Hans." Uma takes a pause. Mal and Uma were both silent for about a minute. Mal gets annoyed and says "Hello??? Is anyone there?" Uma snaps out of her trance and answers Mal. "Y-yea I'm still here. Look I have to go. I have uh- some errands to run. I'll call you back later." Mal gives a confused look. "But Uma wait-" the phone disconnects. Mal ends the call. Jay sees Mal's face and asks "Mal what's wrong?" Mal looks at Jay. "Uma's acting weird. All of a sudden." Evie holds Mal's hand. "I'm sure she's okay. After we get Gerald to the Isle we will go and check on her." Celia thinks about what could be wrong with Uma. "Hey guys, I know where Uma's hideout is. I'll tell you guys where it is under one condition." The gang all look at each other and looks at Celia. They all nod their head. "Okay, if I tell you then I want to go too." Mal shakes her head. "No Celia it's too dangerous." Celia rolls her eyes. "It's not dangerous, we were just in the deepest, darkest part of the Isle and nothing happened." Mal rolls her eyes. "I don't care, I promised Uma I would take care of you and that's what I'm going to do. No more arguing about it, you're NOT going." Celia sits back on her seat and crosses her arms. After about 15 minutes the crew arrives in Auradon.
