The Call:

Kayo was out running. She liked to run because it cleared her head. She didn't care that it was 1:30 am. She wouldn't have even noticed the figure on the top of the cliff if it wasn't for her spy skills. She broke off from her usual path and made her way up. She approached silently and found two things.

One: the figure was crying.

Two: the figure was Scott.

She went and sat down next to him unsure of quite what to do. He had his head between his knees and his arms wrapped around his legs.

He looked up and asked, "Kayo?"

She nodded, "What's wrong Scott?" She didn't know any other way to ask.

"Colonel Casey called, they... they found Dad's jet and his bo... he's dead Kayo." Scott broke down again and she hugged him. She remembered finding out her father was dead and understood.

Scott continued, "I don't know what to do, Kayo. I'm struggling to run Tracy Enterprises and IR. It was meant to be until dad got back but he's not coming back. I can't keep going like this forever."

"Scott, why were you even awake?"

"You're awake."

"True but I want to know why you are."

"Paperwork."

"Oh."

Scott gasped, "Kayo, how am I meant to tell them? How do I tell my brothers? I can't?"

"I'll help you!"

They stayed there for most of the night. It wasn't cold, it was summer in the tropics.

The next morning Scott brought everyone together.

"Colonel Casey called last night. They found dad's jet. He's... he's gone."

The room was silent until Alan yelled, "You're lying. I don't believe you. It isn't true." He ran out of the room. Scott collapsed onto the sofa.

John asked softly, "Why didn't you tell us last night?"

"I couldn't get my head around it."

Virgil spoke up, "Well you should've. We all promised we would tell each other immediately if something came up, good or bad."

Both left the room. Gordon had already run off to the pool and Brains had gone back to his lab. Grandma went to her room and Kayo sat next to Scott.

"So," Kayo asked, "what now?"

Scott sighed, "I put the family back together again."
