A Perfect Storm

Chapter Seven

-May-
-Neal's POV-

I thought I was going to be freed but after Peter gave me the look I knew something was wrong, I didn't know what I just knew it was time to run. I just told Jaxon we were going on an adventure. I called Mozzie and told him to meet me at the airport and then I took to the last step and cut my anklet.

Once we were safe in our place in Santa Maria and before Jaxon could ever say anything to anyone I went to his room to talk to him. "Hey, buddy..." I began.

"Do they speak English?" He asked before I could say anything since Mozzie told him all about our destination on the flight and about how in Cape Verde it's a different country, he knows they don't speak English everywhere so he wanted to ask.

"Not everyone, but that Spanish Moz taught you will come in handy" he smiled when I told him that, I could tell he was excited. "Now I need you to listen, if anyone asks, your name isn't Jaxon Caffrey and never was. Your name is and always was Peter Maine"

"Like uncle Peter?"

I smiled a bit, "Exactly. Nobody around here will refer to me by my name and nobody will refer to Mozzie by his."

"Pretending?"

I nodded, "yes, and when others are around we will always pretend but with just me you and mozzie are alone no pretending"

"Pretend for people who aren't us?" I nodded, "okay" he seemed to understand.
