Dustin immediately jumped off his chair and walked over to us with a tough face and all. I wanted to laugh at his cuteness. I’m in. I’ll help get my sister back. He declared, looking up at me with a determined expression.
I looked down at him seriously and replied. I’ll make sure we get her back.
He nodded and a smile took over his face.
Of course I’m in. Nathan spoke up, standing up and walking towards me with a smile. With a plan like that, I don’t see how we won’t succeed.
He lifted his arm to squeeze my shoulder, pulling me towards him. I breathed in his comforting scent of Abercrombie Fierce.
Well I can’t leave my best friend to have all the fun, so I’m in. Landon spoke up, walking towards our group now and giving me a tired smile.
They knew how stubborn I was, and I was grateful they were willing to do this with me. I knew it was a crazy plan which had lots of risks, but all I could do was give it my best shot. And now that I had all the boys on my side, my confidence only grew. I knew it would all turn out well.
And since when did you become such an evil genius ? Landon asked with amusement.
Since I met this family. I said with a smirk, gesturing to Nathan, Dustin and Max.
So what’s first boss-lady ? Nathan asked me, the rest of them turning towards me too, waiting for my response.
Well first of all, we’re gonna have to find ourselves some dope-ass ninja outfits. I grinned evilly as I looked at each of them.
This was going to be the most epic, wild, ass-kicking plan of all time. And I couldn’t wait to start it.
I turned off the faucet and dried my hands, walking out of the washroom. I made my way back towards the dining table where the guys were going over the plan and preparing a few gadgets. Nathan had said they’d need something to put a hole in the roof from where they’d pull out Hana. Nathan had also said he’d teach the guys a few of his combat/ninja moves. I had insisted that I learned some too.
As I started entering back into the conference room, there was a loud knock on the door.
Everyone seemed to freeze and shut up.
I found Nathan’s gaze and he mouthed the chipmunk’s name. I nodded and quickly tiptoed towards Tyler, Dustin and Landon. I grabbed their wrists and pulled them down the hall, motioning them to stay quiet.
You two need to stay in here until Max comes in and tells you when it’s safe. I spoke quickly, shutting the door to Dustin’s room behind me and facing the three boys.
Why ? Is the chipmunk mob boss here ? Tyler asked with a raised brow.
I nodded. I gotta go now and act like the depressed kidnapped girl that I should be so I’ll see you two in a bit. I quickly explained, before opening the door and heading outside.
Wait ! Landon whispered, grabbing my arm.
I turned and waited for him to continue.
Be careful Sky. He spoke with all seriousness.
I nodded, before shooting them a wink and pointing a fake gun at them, heading out the door. The last thing I saw were their eye rolls as I shut the door and turned around to go face the evil chipmunk.
I walked in to see that Nathan had just opened the door for Ryland. The chipmunk walked into the apartment, looking around. His eyes finally set on me, an evil grin forming on his face.
It’s time for another lovely meeting. He said in a sing-song voice, turning to look behind him. Grab her. He ordered and two men dressed in all black stepped in, starting towards me.
As they came closer, I realized that they were both surprisingly around my age, no older than twenty.
Nathan looked as if he was going to interfere but I shot him a quick warning look, before letting the two boys grab my arms and pull me out the door, their faces expressionless the whole time.
Hiring teens to do your dirty work ? That’s just sick. I couldn’t help but spit out at Alvin as we passed him.
He just sneered at me. I’m providing better opportunities for these lemon potheads than they could ever find themselves. He stated proudly.
I looked up to see the two boys’ reaction. What really sickened me were their stoic faces, as if they were robots.
Tie her down once you get there. I’ll be down in ten. He ordered the boys as they stopped in front of him. They solemnly nodded, before continuing on.
I craned my neck to see Alvin walking towards Nathan, starting to discuss something heatedly. My view of them was suddenly cut off as the door slammed shut.
As we reached the elevator and waited for its arrival, I looked up at my two captors, trying to search for the slightest hint of emotion. They just kept their faces blank and continued staring ahead silently.
Once we stepped in, I decided to try and talk to them. So what did the chipmunk do to get you young boys to join is evil mafia ? I asked casually, looking at each of them. The one to my right had dark brown hair with hazel eyes and soft features. The one to my left had dirty blonde hair and cold blue eyes, his features more sharp. He didn’t exactly look as friendly as brunette boy over to my right.
They both ignored my question, brunette boy sparing me a glance with his blank eyes.
They really were robots…
I tried to think of something else to say, but the doors to the elevator opened and they dragged me out. It was quite nice actually, I simply went limp and let the fronts of my feet drag as they did all the work, using their arms to hold me up.
We walked down the same corridor that I had walked down the day Nathan had brought me down here. The only difference was I had been with an actual human then, not robots.
Brunette boy opened the door with a key and helped blondie carry me through the door. They led me to a chair then roughly dropped me into it, emitting a yelp of pain from my end. It didn’t help that the chair was metal.
