Author's Note: This will be my seventh (published) story. As I have mentioned before, I was inspired to write these stories by the many amazing Authors on Fan Fiction who write Kick-Ass stories. We all know who they are. However, my top author, and inspiration, has to be Makokam and his epic saga 'Precocious Crush', I am sure many readers will agree with this.
This story belongs in my Forsaken universe. The story uses characters and events from Forsaken, and it is intended for this story to be a part of Forsaken. The story is set between Chapters 140 and 141 of the current Forsaken story. Dave is twenty-one, Mindy is seventeen, and Josh and Chloe are both fourteen, while Cameron and Natasha are both seventeen. Various other existing characters from Forsaken will feature in this story, along with some new Characters and maybe some crossovers with other TV and Movie characters.
As usual, I look forward, with some trepidation, to any reviews. I promise to accept all criticism. In addition, I am, still, British so my spelling and grammar may look and seem strange to some.
For those who have already been reading this story, minor editing has occurred to bring the story in line with Forsaken.
Row 62
Upper Deck
Mid-Atlantic
"Offensive weapon... Yes! Pornographic Material... Usually! Obscene Material... Definitely!"
"What are you talking about?" Mindy asked.
"Just checking through the HM Revenue & Customs check list. They list the things we can't bring into the UK," I explained and watched Mindy's expression change.
"You mean me!" Mindy growled.
"They're all compliments!" I laughed.
"They still asleep?"
"Yeah, Chloe said she was too excited to sleep, at least at first! Had to keep an eye on them, though; now is not the time for them to be joining the Mile High Club!"
"I'm gonna go back to sleep. Night, love you!"
"Love you, too!"
Several time zones later
Thursday morning, early
London, United Kingdom
"Those customs guys are complete goddamn assholes with no goddamn sense of fucking humour!" Mindy complained.
"Jeez!" I exclaimed. "Get over it girl!"
"Well, we did get away with bringing a lethal weapon into the United Kingdom!" Chloe grinned.
"Yeah: Mindy!" Dave laughed and Mindy scowled.
..._...
We hauled our bags to the arrivals area at Terminal 5 and looked around for a just a minute, before we saw a pair of friendly faces.
"Hi Cam! Hi Nats!" Mindy called.
"Hi Mindy!" Natasha replied and gave Mindy a big hug, with another hug for Chloe. "Hi Chloe!"
"Hi Nats!" Chloe said.
"I won't hug you, if you don't mind, Cam!" I said.
"Same for me!" Dave agreed.
Cameron and Natasha showed us out of the airport and we walked over to the short stay car park. We stopped beside a pair of almost identical cars; the only difference between the two Jaguar XFR-S saloons was the colour. One was Italian Racing Red and the other was Ultra Blue.
We piled our bags into the boots of both cars, before Cameron turned to Dave and me.
"You two come with me, the girls can go with Nats!" Cameron suggested, as he climbed into the driver's seat of the blue Jaguar. I climbed in the back, while Dave got into the front passenger seat. I saw Mindy climb into the front passenger seat of the red Jaguar, with Chloe in the back.
"You both got your licences, I see!" Dave commented.
"Hot off the press!"
"Nice wheels, too!" I said.
"Our birthday presents!" Cameron explained.
"Don't you dare say it Dave!" I cautioned.
"Nice Jag-wahr!" Dave said with a huge grin.
"Damn Yanks!" I growled and Cameron laughed.
Later that morning
North East of London
A couple of hours later we were quite literally, racing up the 'motorway', as they call the freeways over here!
Natasha was cruising at about eighty-five miles per hour. I had no idea what the actual speed limit was over here, but I really did not think it was eighty plus! Cameron was following at the same speed, about fifty yards or so behind us. Regularly we would both slow down and drift gently past a brightly coloured Police car, often parked up above the road. The Police cars over here seemed to be large BMWs and Volvos, all very powerful vehicles!
We stopped near Birmingham for breakfast, before we proceeded up the M6 motorway. We stopped again, near Carlisle for lunch. I had to admit, that I was now getting tired; we had travelled a long way! I ended up sleeping quite a bit, as did Chloe. The boys were doing the same, apparently.
That afternoon
Central London
"She's here!"
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely! She was caught on facial recognition arriving at Heathrow, this morning!"
"Okay! Set the plan in motion!"
"Yes, sir!"
That afternoon
Central Scotland
Finally, we arrived at our destination!
We were all very tired and I was sure that Cameron and Natasha were too; they had done an awful lot of driving; over four hundred miles! It did occur to me that maybe we should have flown to Scotland, instead of London!
We were a few miles outside of a place called Falkirk. We turned off the M80, onto local roads. I had to admit, I was amazed when Natasha slowed and turned right, before pressing a button on a device clipped to the sun visor. A pair of wrought iron gates swung open and we drove onto a bricked driveway, before pulling up outside some double wooden doors, of what could only be described as a farmhouse, in the middle of nowhere! Bit different from Chicago and New York, I could tell you!
"This is your place?" I asked in astonishment, as I climbed out of the car and looked around me.
"It is now! It was Daddy's – but now it belongs to both of us," Natasha explained.
"Not bad!" Josh exclaimed approvingly, as he got out of the other Jaguar.
"This way!" Cameron said, unlocking the front door. "Welcome to Southfield!"
..._...
"Wow! This is awesome!" Chloe exclaimed, as we entered the entrance hall. To the left were some stairs and past them on the left, was a dining room, then a large kitchen. A door on the right led to a sitting room. Ahead of us and to the right was the most amazing room that I had ever seen. The room had exposed wooden beams and wood flooring. The room was circular and had a tall, circular, cone shaped ceiling. You could look out onto the fields that surrounded the farmhouse. I was speechless - completely speechless!
Natasha showed us upstairs and to our bedrooms.
"I have the bedroom, at the far end, there. My annoying brother is at the end on the right, there. Opposite ends of the house; it does us good!" Natasha said.
"Yeah! Natasha's a screamer!" Cameron explained and got slapped by Natasha.
"Dave, Mindy! You are both in here, by the stairs. Unfortunately, Josh and Chloe have a room each!" Natasha finished with an evil grin.
"Oh, I'm sure they'll survive a few hours apart!" Dave said, although the expressions coming from Josh and Chloe said otherwise.
"You guys get a couple of hour's kip," Cameron suggested. "We'll wake you around seven for dinner."
"Thanks!" I said and pulled Dave into our room and we lay down on the bed.
That evening
Southfield
I woke up to Natasha shaking me; I never even realised that I had fallen asleep!
"It's just after seven, dinner's almost ready and you've got time for a shower. I woke Josh and Chloe first, they're showering now," Natasha said, before she left and closed the door behind her.
I nudged Dave awake.
"That hurt, bitch!" He growled.
I have him a kiss.
"Time to get up, ass!"
..._...
We all sat down in the dining room.
"Nothing special; just pizza and chips! Sorry, I'm not the greatest cook and Nats can burn water!" Cameron explained.
"Sounds a bit like you Mindy!" Dave quipped.
"I can burn you, if you'd like!" I laughed.
It was dark outside and very cold. It was a lot darker than I was used to; I had grown up in New York, where there was always a lot of ambient light, even at night and Chicago was just the same.
"You have a lovely place here, guys," I commented.
..._...
As we ate, we talked.
"So, why exactly are we here?" Dave asked, looking at the twins.
Cameron and Natasha both looked a little uncomfortable and squirmed a bit before replying.
"We think... No, we know that we're in trouble!" Natasha started.
"We've been followed, regularly and well..." Cameron continued.
"We've been threatened by some rather unsavoury types, who wanted us to do some rather unsavoury jobs for them. Jobs that involved killing!" Natasha finished.
I looked inquiringly at Dave and then at Josh and Chloe; they all nodded.
"We'll do what we can, guys!" I confirmed.
