No POV

After stopping at a shop for Siddeley to go to the washroom, Louis informed Siddeley that they were close to their destination. It was about ten when they stopped, the sky was already dark. Siddeley just shrugged and got back in the limo. Although it was nice and fancy, it was too small and it wasn't like home.

Siddeley was excited when he realized that they were getting close. He planned everything out for him and his father to do. The minute he would see his father, he would run up to him and hug him tightly. Then they would spend the rest of the day together bonding, just him and his dad. They'd go to the park or go the movie theater to watch a comedy. Then they'd go out for dinner together and talk about how life has been.

"Siddeley?" Louis asked,

"Yeah?"

"We're here."

Siddeley looked out the window to see a very large building along with smaller buildings close to it. On every building he read 'CHROME'.

"Louis, where are we?" Siddeley asked nervously.

He'd never been here before, why would Louis bring him to a strange place? Was he still in London? He thought Louis was supposed to be taking him to his father and considering the fact that these buildings were in the middle of nowhere Siddeley was a little scared. Sure he was a ten-year-old boy, but going to some place in the middle of nowhere with a person he just met was pretty scary.

"We're at a place called CHROME, Siddeley. This is where your father is..." said Louis.

"CHROME? What's CHROME? And why is my father here? Why is this place in the middle of nowhere? Why did..." Siddeley started asking a bunch of questions to Louis who had tried to answer but was interrupted by another set of questions.

"Siddeley!" Louis said trying to get his attention.

Siddeley finally stopped talking and looked at Louis.

"You'll get all the answers in time."

"I hate it when adults say that." Siddeley pouted, then his face lightened up when he remembered why he was there. "Can I go see dad now?"

Louis bit his lip nervously then nodded, "Right... of course. But stay close to me, okay?"

Siddeley nodded and got out of the limo. He and Louis both walked into one of the smaller buildings and walked to a desk where a woman was typing something on a computer.

"Hello, we're here for..." Louis glanced down at Siddeley who was looking at his surroundings, "Davis..."

The woman glanced up and him then back at her computer.

"Um... are you sure?" she asked.

Louis narrowed his eyes at Siddeley. The woman got up a little and looked over the desk to see Siddeley.

"He's not that short..." Louis said under his breath.

Luckily she didn't hear him, she told him where Siddeley's father was then returned to her work.

"Siddeley... there's something you should know about your father." Louis said nervously.

"Okay... wait, is this about his job?" Siddeley asked,

"Sort of..."

"What do you mean by 'sort of'?"

They stepped into an elevator filled with a bunch of people with briefcases and suits. There were twenty floors, Louis pressed the button with the number eight on it. Siddeley looked at everyone and squinted his eyes. They all had small pins that read 'CHROME'. A few agents stared at Siddeley, then at Louis who was looking somewhere else deep in thought. Once they reached the eighth floor, Louis got out followed by Siddeley who was looking back at the elevator.

"Is that Wilbur's son?"

"Yeah... he looks so much like him. Can't you see the resemblance?"

Siddeley heard them whisper as they exited the elevator.

"Why were they staring at me?" Siddeley asked, "Why were they talking about me? How do they even know me?"

Louis didn't answer, instead he just kept walking until he reached a brown door with a clipboard attached to the door knob. Louis took a look at it then turned to Siddeley.

"Siddeley... are you ready to see your father?" he asked.

Siddeley nodded happily then Louis opened the door. Siddeley's wide grin vanished when he saw his father. He laid damaged on a bed. His legs were wrapped in bandages, he had bruises on his face and arms and his eyes were half closed. He slowly turned to look at the door, his face lightened up a little bit when he saw his son.

"Dad?!" Siddeley shouted,

"Siddeley." his father said weakly.

"I'll leave you two alone." Louis was about to leave when Wilbur spoke up,

"No please, Louis stay."

Louis nodded and gently closed the door.

"Dad, what happened to you?!" Siddeley exclaimed as he rushed to his father's side.

"Louis, please tell him." Wilbur said, not wanting to make eye contact with Siddeley.

"No! Why can't you tell me?"

"Siddeley... CHROME is a spy agency, you father was a pilot for CHROME. His reputation precedes him. Everyone knows who he is..." Louis said with a smile.

"What do you mean by 'was'? And what does this have to do with him being hurt?" Siddeley said.

He wanted to cry so badly, but his refused to. Louis gestured for Wilbur to speak.

"After, we chatted... I had to go drop some agents off at their destination for their mission. On the way, one of the jet engines exploded. I went to go tell the agents to evacuate, but when I told them they didn't respond. I went to go check up on them but they were both unconscious..." his father explained.

Siddeley didn't say anything, so Louis continued for Wilbur.

"You father saved them... but not in time to save himself. The plane crashed into the ocean, he survived of course. But not without fatal injuries..." Louis stopped then looked away from both of them.

"W-what?" Tears slid down Siddeley's face, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I... should leave..." Louis quietly left the room to leave them alone.

"You lied to me..."

"Siddeley... I'm sorry I lied to you, I had to... for your safety. The reason I left you at those boarding schools is because I knew you wouldn't be safe at home. Anyone who works at CHROME is accepting the risk of-"

"Don't say it!" Siddeley was now of the verge of tears, "W-what does fatal mean?"

Wilbur smiled sadly, "It means death..."

"But you can't die, you can't leave me! I need you dad!" he cried, "Please, don't leave... not like mom..."

"I'm sorry son... I love you, you know I do..."

Siddeley couldn't take it anymore, he ran out of the room and slammed the door shut. Outside waiting for him was Louis, Siddeley was about to run away when he grabbed his wrist.

"Please wait..."

"You knew about this, didn't you?!" Siddeley shouted.

"..."

"You knew that my father was going to die, but you chose not to tell me!" he shouted even louder.

A few passing agents turned to look at them. Siddeley glared at them.

"Please lower your voice-"

"If my father is well-known then how many people know about this?!" he asked, "Am I the only one who didn't know about this?!"

"Siddeley!" Louis shouted,

"What the hell do you want?!" he screamed earning disbelieving looks from the passing agents.

"At least say goodbye to him..." Louis said gently.

Louis put his arm around Siddeley and led him back into the room. His body shook as he approached his father.

"Daddy...? I'm sorry..." Siddeley cried, "G-goodbye... forever..."

Siddeley burst out crying and buried his face in his father's lap.

"Don't worry... Siddeley, it's going to be okay." he said softly, "I'm sorry for lying to you."

"Dad... please... don't leave..." Siddeley cried even harder.

"I'm sorry."


Siddeley's POV

I just stood there. I was hidden in the back, away from the crowd. My father died, and a bunch of people who I didn't even know came to his funeral. They must have been from that lousy agency, CHROME. Their the reason my father died... No, I can't blame them. It was his choice in life. I looked around, the only person I actually recognized was Louis.

"Siddeley Davis?" I looked up to see Louis and another man.

He had brown hair, green eyes and he wore black clothing... but I guess that since it was a funeral it made sense. I didn't say anything, I just nodded.

"I'm so sorry for you loss, I know how you must feel." the man said.

I rolled my eyes, but let him continue.

"My name is Trevor Edwards, I am the head of CHROME." he introduced himself.

"Right... and?"

Louis raised an eyebrow, but Trevor continued, "I know this might not be the right time, but I would like to offer you a chance to go to CHROME academy."

"CHROME what?"

"CHROME academy is a school for young people such as yourself to learn how to become a spy... or a CHROME pilot."

I saw where he was getting at.

"Thank you for the offer, but I don't think-"

"Please consider this!" Trevor said almost... desperately.

"... Why should I?" I asked as anger started rising up in me.

"Because that was what your father requested before died. He wanted you to... follow in his footsteps." Louis said firmly.

I glared at him, then said, "... Does this offer have a time limit?"

"No."

I absolutely did not want to do this at all! But... if my father really did want me to follow in his footsteps, then I at least had to consider it... for him.

"Can I think about it?"

"Of course."

Trevor left me alone with Louis. None of us said anything because we were both busy with our own thoughts.

I couldn't go to CHROME academy, I'd have to go through all the torture of being the new kid again. It's going to be even more harder considering it's a spy school! I don't have any experience what-so-ever, I'm already failing at math... But maybe, it'll be different this time... maybe I'll actually meet some new friends- what am I saying?! I shouldn't do this! It's too dangerous!

"Siddeley?" Louis' voice snapped me out of my thoughts, "Are you okay?"

No! I am not okay! My father just died, don't you realize that?! I swear, sometimes adults can be such a- What?! Stop it Siddeley! You shouldn't use such crude language, even in your own thoughts!

I knew it was a bit odd that I was talking to myself, even in my own thoughts, but sometimes I just couldn't help it. I guess people would say I'm talking to my conscience.

"What relation do you have to my father?" I asked without thinking.

I didn't know why I just blurted that out, but I was very curious. How did Louis know my dad, and how did he know Louis?

"I was one of agents on plane..." Louis said quietly.

I didn't say anything. Louis survived but not dad? This just wasn't fair...

"Until you choose what you want to do with your life, I am your legal guardian." Louis said then walked away.

What do I do with my life? I don't know... both my parents are gone, I don't have any more family members, I don't have any friends... I just don't know what to do anymore, I don't think I ever did. I'm only ten! I shouldn't have to make this decision now!

"Should I go or not...?" I asked myself.

I had to make a decision... but I didn't know which choice was right...
