OMG! School is stressing. Luckily, I found time to do this bit by bit. Anyways, here's Chapter 1. The recent chapter was more of a prologue, and I hope you enjoy this one!
I know it's annoying but, DISCLAIMER: I only own my OC's and not the original characters, and I type this for the chapters to come so I don't have to keep doing this disclaimer thing.
Nick: School sucks and so does Dax.
Dax: What did ya say shrimp?
Nick: I said you are the greatest brother I ever had! *sarcastic*
Dax: Why you little-!
*Dax starts chasing after Nick*
Sam: Let's just get on with the story.
Me/Leslie: We totally agree.
Morning came faster than Dax expected. It felt like it was just a few hours ago that Sam's body was dragged in, bloody and bruised. The image couldn't get out of his mind. But all the same, whether they got up early or late, it was still a work day for the four of them as usual. Nick and Leslie were still sleeping, probably stuck in their own dreamlands, and Sam seemed to be healing by the looks of it. But he wasn't really sure if she should be working with them today, no duh, she got beat up last night and must feel weak. But knowing they worked for the Purple Dragons, the punks would take no excuse for one of them not being able to work.
The teen sighed and decided to wake his siblings up from each of their peaceful slumber.
Just as he was about to wake Nick up, one of the guards banged on their down, startling him, but surprisingly not enough to wake the others.
"Breakfast twerps!" the guard shouted and slid the tray of food through a slot so similar to a doggie door.
It slid to a stop by Dax's feet and he bent down to pick it up.
"Why do we need shipments? We could always go by truck, you know the regualr deliveries?" another guard asked the first one.
"Ya, unless you want those green freaks to stick their noses in our business and decide to spil the whole thing."
"Oh yeah, I forgot 'bout dem turtles." Turtles? Now this caught Dax's attention.
"Hehe, and once the we get the final shipments, Saki Enterprises is ours to take," the first guard chuckled evily.
The boy pressed his ear against the door, but all he could hear were the fading footsteps of the two guards.
'What did they mean about 'turtles? Could it be-? No, it couldn't be. And Saki Enterprises, what the hell are these punks planning?' questions kept swirling in Dax's mind.
"Curious aren't ya?" he jumped at the sound of his sister's voice.
Sam smiled at him, despite the fact that her whole body was aching.
"Relax kid, I didn't give ya a heart attack, now did I?" she smirked.
"Nah, you didn't," he smiled in return.
"So, you wanna find out what those two were talking about?" she sat up as she asked, cringing for a second.
"I wish," he noticed her cringe in pain, "need some help?"
"I'm capable enough to walk, thank you very much," she got on her feet, almost tripping twice, but she knew Dax would catch her if she did trip.
"I guess you know what they meant by turtles huh?" her eyes brightened up. Her expression and voice seemed hopeful, but sure at the sound of the name.
"Sam, we can't be too sure that they're talking about them. What if they meant someone else by 'turtles'?" the idea about it sounded whack enough as it is.
"Who else did they mean by 'turtles'? I know it's them Dax, I just do."
Her brother sighed in defeat, knowing there was no changing her mind.
"And even if we did find out what the PD's were up to, how are we gonna tell them?" at that question, an invisible light bulb popped up on Sam's head as she gave him a huge grin.
"Oh no, don't think what I think you're thinking?" Dax took a step back. Damn it, why did he have to give her an idea.
"Oh yes I am!" Sam squealed in glee.
A yawn coming from their two younger siblings caught their attention.
"Guys, what's the noise about?" leslie asked sleepily.
"What time is it?" Nick yawned again and rubbed his eyes.
"Good, now that we're all up. I'm gonna explain the amazing plan I just thought up of, and all thanks to Dax here," she beamed at her brother.
"Okay, then what's this oh-so-genius plan?" Leslie asked, clearly not interested in it.
"And what's it about?" Nick sounded curious.
"An escape plan."
Both of them gaped at her, silent for a full minute and letting Sam's words sink into their minds.
Nick was the first to react, "Sis, may I say that, YOU'RE NUTS! Your whole plan is bound to be crazy, the word escape is cray enough as it is! Dax, what the hell?" he looked at his older brother with incredulosly.
"Don't blame me, some mental lightbulb lit up and BAM, she gets a crazy idea," he simply said, shrugging his shoulders at the same time.
"It's not crazy and I haven't gone nuts! Geez," the older teen sighed, "It can work, just trust me."
Her siblings looked at her doubtfully.
"How do we now it isn't gonna fail?" Leslie asked. If this was what Dax meant by someday, it came too soon.
"It isn't because we're gonna be in this together. Look, I know you guys are scared, and so am I, but we have each other. We're family and no on gets left behind. I promise."
Nick and Leslie were hesitant to answer. The plan wasn't fool-proof, they could get caught in the middle of it, and then they go back and get beaten and get locked in their rooms, no scratch that, their cells again.
Dax stepped forward and placed his hand over Sam's.
"I'm with ya all the way," he smirked.
She smiled at him and looked expectantly at the other two. Nick placed his own hand on top of Dax's and Leslie was the last one.
"Let's do this!" Sam exclaimed.
Does this seem rushed?
Nick: Yes it does.
*Dax whacks him upside on the head*
Nick: What was that for?
Dax: She's just trying her best on this story, don't judge her.
Nick: Oooooh, Dax has a crush!
Dax: I DO NOT!
*Dax starts chasing after Nick*
Me: Does this always happen?
Sam: Believe me it does. And Leslie, would you do the honors?
Leslie: *clears throat* Thanks for reading, chapters will come up soon after Rave's exams and R&R if you want her to upload faster.
Me: Ciao! ^_^
