The Spy that Loves Me

Chapter 35

The loud explosion Louie had heard before he and Huey were cut off was from a torpedo that crashed into the hood of the limo right between Honker and Steelbeak's fight. Honker barely flinched (What? Was he a robot or something?), but Violet held her hands over her head and screamed so loudly in Huey's ears that she busted his ear drums. 

"HUEY!" Called out a new voice, but Huey knew who it was and as the ringing in his ears stopped he looked out the broken shattered windows and his mouth dropped open. 

"Gosalyn?" Huey choked out. 

"Hey!" She said, with a small smile and wave as she dropped down out of the Thunderquack and flipped inside the limo as Honker continued his shoot out with Steelbeak as Darkwing jumped down out after Gosalyn to help Honker. 

"DW! Long time no see!" Honker called out as he shot a couple more rounds. Steelbeak over came his shock of the sudden interruption but started shooting at the both of them non-stop. 

"How'd  you -?" Huey asked, over the shots being fired. Violet lifted her head and stare at them. 

"You have to get home. Now." Gosalyn told him. 

Huey looked at her confused. 

"Why? In case you haven't noticed, Gos, I'm in a bit of a bind here." Huey told her, motioning to the fight outside the limo. 

"Best time to give them the slip." Gosalyn insisted. "Your brothers really need you right now, Huey." She told him, urgently.

" I, I can't leave, Gos." Huey told her. "Akita -." Huey groaned in frustration and looked over at Violet. 

"I'll stay." Violet said. 

"What? Violet, no!" Huey said, taking her hand and squeezing it just as a loud thud came from the roof of the limo. 

"Look, Hue, Honker can deal with Inspector Tezuka. As long as she thinks I'm here she won't question you not being here until it's too late." Violet told him. 

"I, I can't leave you to deal with this!" Huey fumed, his stomach twisted in guilt as Violet smiled sadly at him. 

"I'll be fine. Huey." She said. "Darkwing alone is like a one man army himself." She assured him. 

"More like a one man accident prone army!" Huey replied, frantically. 

"Huey." Gosalyn said making Huey stop his frantic whining. Huey looked over at her and the look on Gosalyn's face made Huey start to think twice. "It, It's your Mom as well. She, she's gone missing according to Scrooge and Donald." 

Gosalyn pulled out something out of her backpack quickly that she had grabbed before they left the Thunderquack (she always kept a spare just in case), and took out a small device. 

"Scrooge put a tracking device on both Donald and Della." Gosalyn told him. "As well as you three." She added. 

Huey stared at her. 

Gosalyn knew what he was thinking. 

How and when did Scrooge do this and how did Gosalyn know? 

Gosalyn knew the last and first time she met Scrooge. Before he left St.Canard and the minute after Scrooge found out about Bradford. Scrooge took extra precautions to protect his family after that incident. 

"I'll explain on the way." Gosalyn said. "Come on, now..." She said, grabbing his arm only to have it jerked back. Gosalyn scowled but then stopped when Huey pulled Violet in for a brief kiss. 

"Stay safe." Huey murmured to her. 

"You too." Violet whispered back. 

"I'll be back, as soon as I can." Huey told her as he followed Gosalyn out of the limo, avoiding the broken glass, and the bullets. 

"When you do, there is something I gotta tell you." Violet said, a smile forming across her beak. 

Huey nodded and with much regret and anxiousness he slipped passed Honker who glanced at Gosalyn out of the corner of his eye, Huey was sure Honker would stop them but she gave him a brief nod as if she knew him before climbing back onto the Thunderquack and starting the engine. 

Huey planted himself in the co-pilot seat as Gosalyn tossed him the tracker device and took the wheel and quickly took off. 

Violet watched without regret as the Thunderquack soared through the air and out of sight. She knew Huey would have chosen to help his family without question. That was why she fell in love with him after all. So she wasn't at all surprised that he had hesitated about leaving her. 

She was his family now after all. 

Violet ignored the shouting, and the cries from outside as she glanced down at her stomach and cradled it fondly. 

"Don't worry, Daddy's coming back for us. Then, I'll tell him." She whispered down at it and smiled when she felt a small kick from inside as if replying to her. 

But that smile quickly faded away when the roof of the limo was ripped off, making Violet jump as Steelbeak peered inside, his eyes blazing as he looked around.

"Damn it! The nerd isn't here!" Steelbeak shouted to someone from behind him. "Just some stupid girl!" 

Violet gritted her teeth. 

"Grab her then! One is better then none!" Said a voice Violet was unfamiliar with. 

Steelbeak's eyes glinted as he turned back to Violet and reached for her. Violet screamed and tried to kick him but that didn't do any good because Steelbeak grabbed both her ankles and lifted her up by them making the blood rush to her head and felt her lunch coming up from her stomach. 

She squeezed her eyes shut. 

"She can keep old' Scrooge company while we figure out the problem with the clones." Came the second voice. Violet's eyes snapped open and she saw Akita coming out of the shadows, sending chills down her spine. "Black Heron just phoned us, said the latest one was a bust." He said. 

Wait.

What? 

Clone? 

"We could try out the cloning on this one here too." Steelbeak said, waving Violet in his hands making her even more ill then she already was. She felt a lump form in her throat and her stomach tighten up. 

"That's not a bad idea." Akita said, he stopped in front of them and held out his hand to stop Steelbeak from waving her back and forth. "The clones are having too much of a mind of their own, best test out some new DNA before going any further on the project." 

Steelbeak nodded in agreement. 

She couldn't help but feel a bit dizzy. She blinked hard and as they got further and further away she could see Honker and Darkwing, still alive, but barely, on the ground, bleeding. 

"Come, let's get to headquarters." Akita said. "My plan to get at B.O.Y.D is still active, if we have the girl, then we'll get the boy and that will make B.O.Y.D come." He told them.  

She prayed silently that they would be okay, that Huey would be okay, that his family would be okay. She hoped. For her sake, and for the part of Huey she was carrying with her as she was being dragged away...
