Chapter 1: Ready For It….
Los Angeles Airport 8:45 am.
"Alright let's see now. Gate 4B" Alan said looking down at his ticket. "It's this way sweetheart," Kelly said taking the lead. Thomas rolled his eyes as he pushed the cart that had his animals inside some crates. "Why did I have to get the small crate! I can barely move in here!" Berry cried out. "Because you're the only one who can fit in that one," Thomas whispered to the smaller crate. "While Kodi and Dusty get their own crate, I see how it is." Berry grumbled. "Privacy is the privilege!" Kodi said from the bottom crate. "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah rub in why don't you." Berry replied. "Alright guys. Here we are, they're going to take you guys away now," Thomas giving the cart to the guy who would take the cart and place where the luggage would go.
As the cart was being taken away, Thomas, Alan and Kelly boarded the plane. Thomas sat down never the window while Alan sat down in the middle and then Kelly sat near the aisle. "Hope they're going to be alright" Alan said as he buckled in his seat. "Don't worry Dad we all been through worse." Thomas said buckling in himself. "Still I hope they're ready for it," Alan said sitting back in his seat. "I hope the kids are going to be alright while we're away." Dusty said while she nuzzled her mate. Kodi chuckled as he nuzzled her back. "I'm sure they're going to be fine. I mean they're a year old now. I was fine at a year old, that's when I met you," Kodi said with another nuzzle. "Yeah but you also had your dad by your side still at a year old," Dusty said with a smile. Kodi chuckled again before licking the side of her muzzle. "You worry too much," Kodi said before getting lost in her eyes.
"You guys don't have a snack or two on you do you?" Berry asked from across the way from Kodi and Dusty. Kodi just shook his head as he laid down next to Dusty. "No? No snack? Okay." Berry said as he laid down on his back. "This is going to be a long trip." Berry said as he closed his eyes. "I guess we should get some sleep too huh?" Kodi said as he nuzzled Dusty once more. "Yeah i guess we should," Dusty replied giving lick on the side of his nose. After the plane had taken off and was in the air. Dusty and Berry had fallen asleep, Kodi on the other hand just wanted to watch his mate as soon as she went to sleep. Dusty had gotten closer to Kodi whenever she had gotten cold. Kodi smiled at that as he nuzzled her which made her move even closer to him. "Sweet dreams Dusty," Kodi said before falling asleep himself.
New York City Airport 6:23 p.m.
Kodi was awake by the force of the place setting down, "*thud!* Gah! What was that?" Kodi screamed loud enough to wake them both up and Dusty started freaking out, "What happened?! where are we?" Dusty shouted out. Kodi calmed down and sighed out, "I think we've arrived..." Kodi said. Berry started laughing and fell on his back, "You guys should have seen your faces!"Berry said rolling on the floor. "Oh please, you did the same thing on Halloween when those kids scared you with a clown mask!" Kodi said. "That was different okay! Let's just wait for them to unload us." Berry said
25 minutes passed and Thomas, Alan and Kelly picked up their luggage and went to the pickup area. A limo pulled up to the curb with the name Foxwerth on the license plate. A girl with red hair with a orange kitten in her arms jumped out of the limo and greeted her cousin. Her mother and father also exited the limo and greeted Thomas's Dad and Kelly.
"And you must be my cousin Thomas!" Jenny said.
"Cousin?" Thomas asked.
Jenny face palmed herself.
"My dad is your dad's brother so basically we're cousins duh." Jenny said.
Thomas just rolled his eyes.
"So you must be Thomas son of my brother Alan." Jenny's Dad said.
"Indeed I am and you are...?" Thomas asked.
"I'm your uncle Grant and this is my wife Sheila." Grant said introducing himself to Thomas.
"It's nice to meet you Uncle Grant, and you too Aunt Sheila." Thomas said shaking Grant and Sheila's hands.
"It's nice to meet you you too Thomas." Sheila said shaking Thomas's hand.
Thomas then noticed that Jenny was holding a brownish orange kitten in her arms.
"Whose the cat?" Thomas asked.
"This is Oliver my cat." Jenny replied.
Thomas then scratched Oliver behind the ears making him purr
Eventually Alan and Kelly caught up to Thomas with the luggage and the crates that were holding Kodi, Dusty, and Berry.
Once Alan greeted his brother and introduced Kelly everyone was ready to leave the airport.
"Well let's get moving." Grant said as he opened the trunk of the limo and placed all the luggage inside the trunk Alan then let's out Kodi, Dusty and Berry out of the crates and lets them inside the limo. Three cars pulled up one being a 1967 Shelby GT500, and the second being a RX-7, and the last being an Evo IIV.
As everyone got in the limo Thomas noticed a girl with blonde brown hair around his age step out of the Shelby and looked at her phone.
Thomas decided to to mind his own business and he stepped into the car.
But little did he know the girl was actually WATCHING him and she smirked as she watched the limo pull away.
Alan and Kelly sat up in the front of the limo while Thomas, Kodi, Dusty, Berry, Jenny and Oliver sat in the back of the limo. "I like you raccoon," Jenny said with a smile as she pets Oliver. Thomas smiled as he looked down at Berry who was sitting in his lap. "Thank you. His named Berry." Thomas added as he patted Berry on the head. "Sure! You might as well you tell her you put a big bright blue bow on my head!" Berry complained looking up at Thomas.
Thomas pretended he didn't hear that and just smiled at his cousin. "You're very pretty miss um..." Oliver started to say to Dusty but didn't know her name. "Oh... thank you... I'm Dusty and this is my mate Kodi." Dusty said while looking at Kodi. How ya doing kid?" Kodi said with a smile. Oliver only smiled back at Kodi. "Oh look I think they're getting along," Jenny said as she pets oliver on his back. Thomas chuckled as he sits back in his seat. "If only she know the truth of how these animals felt about things." Thomas said to himself as he looked out the window as the limo moved along.
35 minutes passed and the Limo pulled up to the townhouse, "Alright gang we're here!" Jenny said. "Finally! My legs feel cramped tighter than that kennel on the plane!" Kodi said, hopping out of the Limo and stretching his legs. "You're one to complain, I had to be put in a smaller kennel!" Berry said. "Well if you weren't always getting out of your bigger one at home maybe they'd let you have a roomier one!" Kodi said, smirking. "That was different! I-" "It's always different with you isn't it?" Dusty asked sarcastically. Berry shut his mouth and they all made their way inside the townhouse. "Wow! I have never been inside such a nice house!" Thomas said, "You guys are probably gonna have the time of your lives!" Thomas said to the animals. A fluffy little dog walked in the room, "Oh! That's our dog, Georgette!" Jenny said, kneeling down to pet her. "Ugh! What fleabags did you bring to
our house?" Georgette asked rudely.
Kodi got mad and snarled "Fleabags?! I was born from a purebred husky who is married to the most noble and bravest dog of Nome!" Kodi snapped, Thomas kneeled down, "Hey buddy, don't worry about her, she's just a snobby town dog, nothing like us Alaskans!" Thomas said.
Before Kodi could reply to Thomas, he was taken away by his cousin. "Thomas let me show you my room," Jenny said she pulled her cousin up the stairs. "Poor kid," Berry said as he rested himself against Kodi's shoulder "yuck what is that disgusting rat!" Georgette said stepping away from Berry. " Nice to meet you too Tutts," Berry said as he crossed his arms. Georgette just brushed off the small raccoon before moving on to Dusty. " and what fashion shows have you been in and won?" Georgette said with her nose in the air. "None... I was a sled dog just like my mate Kodi," Dusty replied. "Ugh! You actually did work?! You poor, poor soul," Georgette said shaking her head. Dusty feel hurt but challenged by this. " i'm also a mother of four." Dusty added. "Puppies you have been a busy girl," georgette said mockingly Dusty then started to growl and get angry. "Okay I think we should go into the next room," Kodi said trying to get Dusty into the next room with Berry. " i'm going to get her," Dusty whispered into Kodi's ear.
Meanwhile...
Thomas was eating dinner with his family.
It was steak and spinach.
Thomas wasn't that hungry but he didn't want to waste his dinner.
Once Thomas bit into his spinach he gagged.
The spinach tasted disgusting.
"Is something wrong Thomas?" Grant asked noticing Thomas's gag.
"Oh...nothing but what's in this spinach?" Thomas asked.
"It's mixed with salt and vinegar." Grant replied.
"What's wrong you don't like it?" Grant asked looking hurt.
"Oh nononono I like it." Thomas said as he took another bite of the spinach so that Grant's feelings wouldn't be hurt.
For 4 minutes Thomas had to choke down his spinach but when he was finished Thomas and the others were all full.
"Oh boy I'm stuffed." Alan said before he let out a loud burp.
"Alan manners." Kelly said elbowing him.
"Sorry." Alan said.
"Thomas are you alright." Jenny asked.
Jenny wasn't talking about the spinach Thomas ate.
"Oh nothing." Thomas replied.
"You sure you've been quiet for awhile son?" Alan said.
Thomas then exhaled.
He then turned to Grant.
"Uncle Grant was there a girl you picked up on your way to the
airport?" Thomas asked
"Oh... that girl... she just works for the company, she's not too wild." Grant said taking a drink of his wine. Thomas nodded in response as looked a crossed the table and saw that evening sun was started to set. "Oh don't get up just yet" Sheila said with a smile as she pulled out her phone. "I signed us up for a little game after dinner. And even the animals can join us." Sheila said a smile as her phone vibrated. Suddenly everyone's cell phone vibrated. "Enter the truck that is waiting downstairs." Thomas read out loud.
"Oh what fun! Let's go!" Sheila said as she got up from her seat and started to go downstairs. Alan and Kelly walked down together while Jenny was picked up by Grant and helped down the stairs. Thomas grabbed his cell phone and gathered up. Kodi, Dusty and Berry before heading down stairs with his family. The family waited next to the front door before getting the message from their phones. "All adults must exit outside and stand next to the Black semi truck.
"Isn't this fun!" Sheila said as she walked outside with her husband by her side. "See you on the other side kids," Alan said as he and Kelly were next to go outside. Thomas, Jenny, Kodi, Dusty, Berry and Oliver waited for the next instruction but nothing came for a few minutes. "What's taking so long?" Jenny asked looking up at Thomas. "I don't know," Thomas answered. Suddenly Thomas felt his phone vibrate as it startled him as he looked down and looked at it. "GET OUTSIDE NOW!" The text read in big bold letters. Thomas then rushed outside with Jenny and the animals right behind him. "What the hell?" Thomas said as they black semi truck took off roaring down the street with their parents nowhere in sight. "Where did everyone go?" Jenny asked scared as she watched the truck take a left turn.
Thomas's phone then vibrated again as he looked down at it. "Take the car and follow the truck down to the docks," Thomas read out loud. "What car?" Jenny asked as she held oliver close to her. A pair of headlights shined on the group as they looked behind them and found a BMW M6 sitting there, ready for them to chase down that Truck. "I guess that car. Come on!" Thomas said as he ran over to the car with Kodi, Dusty and Berry right behind of him. Jenny then took the chance and follow her cousin to the car and sat in the front seat. "Alright let's go." Thomas said as he floored it and took off after the Truck.
Thomas shifted into third and pulled up closer to the truck, "We're getting closer! You can do it Thoma-" Suddenly a car sideswiped them to a different lane, "What was that?!" Thomas shouted looking in his mirrors, it was the same three cars at the airport! An FD RX7, Evo VIII, and a Shelby GT500, "Holy crap! They're the same ones from the airport!" Kodi shouted. "I know, but i'll take care of them!" Thomas said, brake checking the Evo, causing him to hit the back of the BMW, the RX7 pulled up beside him, and the Shelby on the left. Thomas downshifted into 2nd and started to pull away, "I have a plan for that RX7!" Thomas said, pulling ahead, getting in front of the FD driver. "Alright, here we go!" Thomas pushed the clutch in, and slammed on the brakes, but the FD swerved and thomas shifted back into 2nd and started to pull back up. "These guys are good!" Thomas said, shifting into 3rd.
"Thomas look, a back road!" Kodi pointed out. "Good catch!" Thomas downshifted into 2nd, pulled in the ebrake and gassed it into the alleyway, the GT500 pulled up behind him and hit the back left of his car, causing it to scrape against the walls, "What do these people want?! Why are they trying to get us?!" Thomas asked out loud. "I don't know Thomas, but you better think fast, another pathway is coming up!" Kodi pointed out. Thomas cut the wheel to the left and gases it into the alleyway, "Alright, here we go!" Thomas shifted into third and pulled out and saw the semi truck at the docks, "There we go!" Thomas pulled beside the truck, put the car in neutral and pulled the ebrake. "What was that all about?!" Thomas shouted at the truck
The truck roared its horn as the back hatch started to open up. Thomas then pulled the car up to the back of the truck and step out of the truck with Jenny running behind him with oliver in her arms. The cars that gave Thomas trouble pulled up beside the BMW as Thomas and Jenny stood by the hatch as it it opened up. All the parents were tied up with blindfolds over their eyes. "Dad!" Thomas shouted as he jumped up into the cargo and tried to help his father. "Hey! Let go of me! Thomas!" Jenny shouted as she was being held by her will by the same girl who was at the airport. "I wouldn't do that if I were you Thomas," the girl said as she held a knife against Jenny's neck. Jenny then dropped Oliver hopping he would make a run for it.
Suddenly one of the girls goons grabbed Oliver by his neck and threw him into the BMW. Kodi started to growl and was about to jump out of the car and help Thomas but was too late from Oliver hitting him in the muzzle and from the goon closing the car door. The BMW's door went on lockdown since the goon threw Oliver inside the car. "How do you know my name?" Thomas asked as he jumped down from the Truck. The girl smirked as she pushed Jenny into Thomas's chest. "We have a big file on you Thomas," said a woman's voice from behind Thomas and Jenny. "Who are you?" Thomas asked. The woman had brown hair with a black glove on her right hand.
"My names Jessica Kidman and you have something I want… but I have something you want as well." Kidman said with a dark smile. "Alright what do you want?" Thomas asked as he held Jenny close to him. "I want you to use your green animal stone on me and my team." Kidman said with eyeing Thomas's pocket as it started to glow green. "Thomas what is she talking about?" Jenny asked looking up at Thomas. Thomas bit his lip as he thought long and hard about this. "Berry can you open the doors of the thing?" Dusty asked as she looked at Berry. "I'm trying but this thing is locked down tight," Berry said as he tried to get the doors open. "Jenny!" Oliver said with worry in his tone.
"Fine I hope your ready for it," Thomas said as he pulled out his stone from his pocket. The stone glowed a bright green almost like holding a small star in Thomas's hand. Suddenly everyone felt a pulse of energy from the stone as the green light faded away. "That's it?" the girl who was holding Jenny asked as she looked around. Kidman then press a button from some car keys and release the animals from the BMW. "Jenny!" Oliver shouted as he ran to Jenny. "Oliver you can talk?" Jenny said as she picked her kitten. "There! Are you happy now?" Thomas mocked as he crossed his arms. Kidman smiled with a nod. "Good now let our parents go!" Thomas ordered. Kidman chuckled as she crossed her arms. "Not just yet," Kidman said before looking at Kodi."Hey we had a deal!" Thomas shouted in anger. "Get me the dog the red and white one," Kidman ordered before walking away from Thomas.
"What! No!" Thomas said as he turned to look at Kodi. Two of the goons grabbed Kodi from a large brown bag. "Get off of him!" Thomas shouted as he tried and went for the bag. "Hold it right there buddy!" the girl from the airport said as she held a pistol in front of Thomas. Thomas stop right on his tracks and held his arms in the air. The girl chuckled as she held the gone. "You're cute when you care about your friends. I'm Ashlind by the way," Ashlind said as she backed away to her car which was the GT500. "Oh Thomas!" Kidman said while getting back into the Truck. Thomas turned and looked at Kidman. "What do you want?" Thomas asked. "Here!" Kidman said giving Kelly and Sheila back to Thomas. "Mommy!" Jenny said as she ran up to her mother. "Ashlind will text where to meet next and then I'll give you a job. Sound simple enough?" Kidman asked. Thomas nodded. "Good! I'll be waiting!" Kidman said as she took off with Grant, Alan and Kodi in the back of the truck. Ashlind and her racing crew also followed behind as they disappeared into the city.
"Just when things were going normal" Thomas said as he crossed his arms. "Thomas! You have to get Kodi back please!" Dusty said as he voice cracked. "Don't worry Dusty I'll get him back," Thomas said with a smile. "That dog talk!" Sheila screamed. "Don't worry Sheila I'll explain everything," Kelly said as she took her to the side. "What do we do now?" Berry asked looking up at Thomas. "Well at least we still have a car," Thomas said as he looked over to the BMW. Just as Thomas said that, the car exploded. "You were saying?" Berry said with his arms crossed. "Man that lit up like a burnt taco!" a mexican accent said from near the docks. "Tito!" Oliver said with a smile before running up to his friend.
"Hey Oliver what are you doing here man?" Tito asked. Oliver then frowned before answering. "Something bad happened to us." Oliver said as he looked down to the ground. "Us?" Tito questioned as he looked up and saw Thomas standing there with Berry on Thomas's shoulder. "Who's the kid?" Tito asked looking back down at Oliver. "He's a new friend of mine. That's Thomas and his name is Berry," Oliver said with a smile. "You don't say man?" Tito said looking up at Thomas and Berry. "Tito can you help them out with the cart?" Oliver asked Tito laughed with nod. "Sure man anything for a friend," Tito said before looking up at Thomas again. "Okay." Oliver said before looking to Thomas and Berry. "Guys this is Tito he'll help you out with a ride." Oliver said with a purr. "Right sounds good," Thomas said as he crossed his arms.
"Hey how did you do that?" Tito asked. "It's a long story but we can explain later," Thomas said with a smile. "Right…" Tito said a little nervously. Oliver then walked over to Jenny and her mother and jumped into Jenny's arms and purred to comfort her. "Don't worry Kelly I'll go get dad, uncle Grant and Kodi," Thomas said with a smile. Kelly hugged her boyfriends and then let's him go. "Be careful," Kelly said with another hug. After Kelly let's Thomas go, Thomas then gets down to Dusty's level to pets her on her head. "I'll bring Kodi home I promise," Thomas said with a smile. "I know you will," Dusty said trying to be strong. Thomas then stands up and walks over to Tito and Berry. "Alright Tito lead the way to our new ride," Thomas said with a smile. "Right this way man," Tito said before leading the way.
