Currently crouched behind a stack of crates, Brett looked at his older sister, who was also crouched beside him.
'What should we do, Bailey?' he mouthed to her.
'We wait for Brice's orders, Brett,' Bailey replied.
Brett frowned but remained where he was, much to Bailey's relief. Brianna, who was presently crouched beside the stack of crates that were across from where Bailey and Brett were concealed, shifted her gaze to her older brother. Brice could sense Brianna's impatience at getting the rescue of their twin siblings and cousins underway, but he was still waiting for the right moment to rescue their twin siblings and cousins.
Brice cautiously leaned his head out from behind the stack of crates to see where his dad and uncles were while also being sure not to be spotted. Seeing that his dad and uncles had their backs turned to the three cages containing each of the twins, Brice drew his head back out of sight and turned to Brianna.
'Ready to do your thing, Brianna?' he questioned.
Brianna's eyes lit up and she nodded.
'Go for it, little sis,' Brice added.
A faint glow radiated from Brianna's body as she focused on creating a duplicate copy of herself. Once Brianna had created a copy of herself, the dim glow around her body faded. Bailey leaned her head out just far enough to see that Brianna's double had appeared in front of her dad and uncles. Brianna's duplicate met the gazes of the three men and gave them a brief grin before spinning around and running straight towards the exit at the other end of the building.
"After her!" Brice and the real Brianna heard their dad exclaim.
The six teens heard their dads give chase and Brice nodded at Bailey, who understood that it was her turn and she focused on making her entire form become invisible. Brett watched as his sister vanished from view and Bailey stepped out from behind the stack of crates while being sure to keep her footsteps as quiet as she could make them.
Bailey made her way towards the nearest cage that contained Bradley and Beverly before she knelt in front of the lock on the cage and melted the lock with a quick burst of her lasers before she swung open the door of the cage. But both Bradley and Beverly refused to leave the cage and Bailey reversed her invisible state so they could see her face.
They started to exclaim her name but she quickly shook her head in an attempt to keep them quiet. Understanding her unspoken warning, Bradley and Beverly scrambled out of the now open cage and hurried towards the stack of crates that Brice and Brianna were concealed behind while Bailey became invisible again and resumed her task of freeing Brody, Bethany, Ben and Bianca from their cages. Once Bradley and Beverly were behind the stack of crates, Brianna held her younger brother in her arms.
"You and Beverly are safe now, Bradley," she assured him in a low voice.
"But what about daddy?" Beverly asked Brianna.
Brice and Brianna looked at each other, unsure of what to tell their youngest sister.
"Don't worry about dad, Beverly," Brianna said.
Once Bailey had opened the other two cages and freed her twin siblings and blonde twin cousins, she grabbed onto her twin siblings' hands and hurried back behind the stack of crates Brett hid behind while Ben and Bianca joined Bryan and Bree. Holding her younger sister in her arms, Bree met Bianca's gaze.
"Thank goodness you and Ben are okay, Bianca," she said softly before a soft glow radiated from her body as she focused on summoning back the duplicate she had created as a diversion.
Line break
Outside the warehouse, Bree's double smiled a little and gave a brief wave to the three men who had been chasing her before vanishing from view. Realizing that they'd been tricked, the three men re-entered the warehouse, only to stop at seeing that the three cages no longer contained their twin children.
"Spread out and find the twins. They should be in here somewhere."
Still concealed behind the stack of crates, Brice and Brianna held their younger twin siblings close to them while hoping that their current hiding place wasn't discovered by either their dad or uncles. Bradley met his big sister's gaze and Brianna saw the slightest trace of fear reflected in his eyes. She hugged him in an attempt to reassure him that they'd all make it out together.
Watching Brianna try to console their little brother, Brice knew that they needed to get their twin siblings and cousins out of the warehouse somehow without their dad and uncles noticing their departure. Across from where Brice and Brianna were concealed, Bailey had come to the same conclusion and she turned to Brett, who had been kneeling alongside her, only to see that he was no longer next to her.
Her gaze shifted to the gap that was between the two stacks of crates and she inwardly groaned at her middle brother's brashness, because he was currently positioned in the center of the opening between the two stacks of crates. Brody and Bethany wanted to join their middle brother and they each squirmed out of Bailey's arms before they joined Brett, which placed them in clear view of their dad and uncles.
Without taking his gaze off his dad and uncles, Brett bent over and lifted Brody up into his arms while Bethany half hid behind her middle brother's pant leg. Realizing that there was no more point in hiding anymore, Bailey emerged from behind the stack of crates she had been concealed and stood next to Brett, followed by her four red and blonde haired cousins.
