Spy Nerds

Bad Night

Jake stares out the window of his room looking out at the dark windy night. He just overheard his mum on the phone talking to one of his dad's colleagues, Tiffany Ellis.

"No....no way......how?..............my husband can't be dead. He left the house alive......please......don't say that.......tell me he's still alive......please.........no.....how......when.......shot!?........no.....please.." Earlier that night, Diana Norman receives a phone call from Tiffany Ellis saying her husband is dead. She tries as hard as possible to prevent her sons from hearing her cries. She cries as hard as she had never cried before. Unknown to her, her eldest son, Jake is listening to his mother's conversation. He prevents her from seeing him as he tiptoed back to his room.

His father had earlier gone on a mission to capture the leader of the notorious group, Black Pythons. The leader, Brothel, killed Dave, his father, as he spied on them. He had no backups so, once again, the group escaped the police.

Dad can't be gone, he promised he'll come back. Jake thought as he cried in his room. He didn't want his brother to hear him from his own room which was close by.
Why? I won't let this happen. No way. I've got to do something. I can't let this happen. No way. He thought again.

Picking up his phone, he dialed his friend Casey.

"Hey Jake. What's the matter? Why are you calling me? Its almost midnight" Casey said at the end of the line. He sounded really sleepy indicating he was awoken by the phone call. "I'm sorry Casey. My dad was just killed" he said holding back his tears. "What the hell?!" Casey yelled. His voice getting sharper. "When.....How.......Who......please elaborate!" Casey yelled. "I don't know Casey" Jake answered back breaking into tears. "I heard mum on the phone. He was shot by someone named Brothel. The leader of that group, Black Pythons. He was killed about an hour ago" Jake replied his voice filled with tears. "Oh my God Jake. I'm really sorry for your loss Jake. What are you going to do? When is the funeral?" Casey asked simultaneously. "I don't know yet Casey. Mum was just called like thirty minutes ago" he answered.
"Look, I wanna avenge my dad's death"
"What! Are you insane?" Casey said
"I have to do it and I'm gonna need backup. You're gonna help me."
"I don't know man. Maybe, we should just leave it to the police"
"The police ain't gonna do nothing. You're gonna help. Bye" he answered and hung up.

"What just happened?" Casey asked himself in his room.

" Who are talking to in here?" Jace asked. He was on his way to the bathroom when he heard his brother on the phone. "No one. Go back to bed." Jake answered and buried his face in his pillow to hide his swollen face. "Liar! I heard you talking to someone and you're lying about it. Mum!" He yelled. "Oh shucks!" Jake exclaimed. He was going to make things worse. "Okay, Jace. I was talking to my teddy" he lied holding his brother close to him. "Really, you talk to your teddy?" Jace asked to confirm. "Yeah" Jake answered hoping he was going to buy it. "Why didn't you say so before? I do the exact same thing. Good night bro" Jace said and walked to his room. "Phew!" Jake let out a sigh of relief and went back to bed soaking himself in his own tears. He was waiting for how his mother was going to break the news to them.
He fell asleep a short time later.

"Daddy no!" Yelled Jake in his sleep. He finally slept about five minutes later.
