Alive and Well
~Shooter & Victims~
"What do you mean by cousin?" Jack asked scared.
"He's my cousin. We haven't had the best you know... relationship. It's the same like you and Kai." Jack looked down in his seat.
"Why does he want to find you?" Jack asked.
"I have no idea." I replied. He thought.
"Wait, from the past times you guys have talked, how has he acted or talked to you?" he asked.
"Well, we've had many problems like he lied to my parents about things I haven't done many times. That's one reason why when I was growing up, my parents and I didn't have the closest relationships."
"Okay, what made you and your cousin separate?"
"His dad's job transferred... as he says but I didn't buy it."
"What about his mom?" I thought about it. I looked at Jack timidly. His eyes widened.
"No one ever mentions her. I actually have never seen her before there's no pictures or conversations about her." Jack stared at me and listened intently.
"It's as if she never existed." I breathed, my eyes widened to sudden realization. It all cam at me like a freight train colliding into my chest.
"I know where he is." I whispered.
"What?" Jack asked not hearing me, leaning forward.
"I know why he's trying to find me!" I told him. Jack smiled. I did too. I could tell he was proud.
"Okay, why do you think he's trying to find you?"
"That's simple," I looked at Jack, "It's because of my aunt." He smirked.
"Okay, do you have any idea where either of them are?"
"I don't. But something's telling me that my cousin has my aunt, but they aren't together."
"Why wouldn't you think they'd be together?" he asked.
"Because of this." I replied, holding up my iPod. I unlocked it and showed Jack the note I received.
"Kim," I looked at Jack. I almost jumped from his reaction. His voice descended and he was serious.
"You're cousin's on the plane." his voice, low and powerful. Then, a loud blast sounded. People started screaming.
"JACK!" I yelled. We both fell to our knees below our seats.
"It's a gun." I said terrified. Me and Jack were right in front of each other shocked.
"We have to stop this." Jack said he stood up cautiously and scanned the area. Thankfully, the pilot has not been effected but, the passengers were screaming and taking cover. Jack fell down by me.
"What are we going to do?" I asked. I could tell he was racing through thousands of ideas and finally, he stopped and looked at me smiling.
"Follow me." he said. He grabbed my hand and we raced to the back of the plane.
"I need you to hide in here." He pointed to a cabinet where the workers served food and drinks. I looked at him like he was psycho.
"Trust me. Once I find him, you have to come out." he started to turn away but turned back, "Oh, and here's this." he handed me one of his two guns.
"What the heck?" I muttered.
"You'll manage." he smirked and walked away. I shivered and crawled to the back of the dark black corner.
(Jack's POV)
My breath was steady as I leaned against the wall. My gun was pressed against my chest and I sat there waiting for my attacker. My warm breath brushed against my skin. Goosebumps crawled up my arms at the thought of meeting Kim's assassin. Sweat made it's way down passed my ear and dripped onto my shoulder. I heard the footsteps and I threw my head back exhaling and closing my eyes.
1... 2... 3...
I jumped up and whipped around the corner pointing the gun at him.
He never knew I was there.
My eyes widened to who this was.
"Jack?" he asked.
"Andre?" I asked. I thought about putting down the gun but I didn't.
"Jack, it's okay," Andre dropped his gun putting his hands up, "you can trust me just like the last time we saw each other." I hesitated then brought it down. He smiled. He put his hand out. I grabbed it.
"Just like last time?" I smiled as I shook it.
"Yes, just like last time."
"JACK!" Andre looked passed me and his eyes filled with hatred. I turn around and Kim stood there looking at me hurt.
"Kim-"
"What are you-" before she could even finished her sentence, Andre pushed me forward, swooped down, picked up his gun and shot it. I grabbed his arm twisted it and flipped him. I turned around and Kim was sitting down with her arms over her head. She trembled violently. I knelt down grabbed both guns and fell by her.
"Kim." I said, voice shaky with tears. She looked up at me.
"Kim are you o-" right before I could finish, she threw herself away from me and she leaned agains the wall in the shadows.
"Kim." I said standing up walking over.
"No. You are on the same team as my cousin. Don't"
"Kim, it's me. Jack. I would never hurt you." I reply lowering in front of her. I brought me hand up to her. She pulled her hand up and pushed me away.
"Don't." she whispered. I could tell she was trying her best to keep her composure.
"Kim, please. I never knew he was your cousin. If I knew back then, I'd never have joined him."
"What happened between you two?"
"I'll tell you when we get to Mexico, for now please help me. We need to get your cousin sustained and calm the passengers." she didn't move. I sighed and moved back from her.
Suddenly, before I was able to stand up, she launched herself at me and threw her arms around my neck.
"Don't let him hurt anyone else. I'm tired of the same story over and over." she pulled away.
"I promise." I replied. She smiled. We stood up and walked through the cabin of the plane. Every time we passed someone they'd shake and fall deeper in there places. I went back to our seats and threw everything back into our bags. Kim walked away to console the passengers.
(Kim's POV)
"Hello." I said sweetly as I lowered myself in front of two kids. They hugged each other tightly and cowered back.
"It's okay, I won't hurt you." I said smiling. The girl looked at me. She had long brown hair and green eyes almost the same color as mine. The boy next to her had brown hair too but with hazel eyes. I guessed it was her brother. They looked to be 4 and 6.
"We're going to keep you guys safe. Where's your parents?" The boy looked down. The girl started talking. I smiled at how they reminded me of Jack and I. Jack would never talk, not until he was nine would he talk without me around.
"Over there." she pointed passed me and I looked to the pilot's cabin. People were hiding back there. The girl had a thick English accent. I smiled as I stood up.
"Jack!" he turned around and walked up.
"Get Andre. I'm going to talk to everyone." I said. He nodded and walked passed me. I felt a tug on my shirt. I looked down to the girl.
"Is that your brother?" she asked. Yes, they are definitely English. I smiled.
"Like the one I never had." she looked at me confused. I grabbed her hand as she smiled weakly at me. We walked to the other side of the plane. I saw some people. But then, something else caught my eyes. Someone was shot. I gasped and shut my eyes whipping down to the kids.
"C'mon guys we're going to go back over here and bring your parents over to you."
"Okay." she said. The two smiled and they shuffled in front of me and went to sit back in their corner. I ran up to Jack. He sat Andre in the very back of the plane away from anyone and weapons.
"Jack." I said. My voice was shaky and he whipped around concerned. I walked in place trying to not freak out.
"What's wrong?" he asked putting his hands on my shoulders.
"People were shot." his eyes widened and he runs passed me over to the scared people. He lowered down to them.
"It's okay guys, we won't hurt you." he muttered. Thankfully, only few people were on the plane at this time. Three ladies were in the far corner, a man with what seemed to be wife and three kids were all together, and two men were standing around them protecting them.
"Who are you?" one asked. Jack stood up.
"I'm Jack Brewer and-"
"Wait, you're that karate kid." the other said. They smiled at me and Jack. I smiled back.
"Yes, and this is Kim." I brought my hand up, each shook it.
"The jerk face who started this is my cousin he's looking for me. I'm sorry for this mess." I explained. They nodded.
"All's we need to do now is land the plane immediately." the other said.
"C'mon guys let's go." I directed. The hostages stood up and started to walk in the direction I lead them but one of the men stopped them and looked at me.
"We won't let a 15 year old direct us around." he pushed me.
"Okay man, let's stay calm we just need to get everyone off as soon as possible." Jack said holding his hands up in defense.
"Just listen to him, everything will be easier if you do." I replied standing by Jack. I walked passed Jack and went to the people who were killed.
I search for identification of the first person. I found a wallet and opened it. Her name was Halley Montez, she had brown hair, blue eyes and American born. She was 38 years old not married no kids. I sighed and place it back in her pocket. I crawled over to the other one and she looked a little familiar. I pulled a wallet out and inside was a drivers license and identification card. it read: Laciellia Devoya. Brown hair, green eyes, 32 years old. English born Married to Devin Devoya. Two kids, 4 year old Maria Devoya and 6 year old Sammy Devoya. Devin Devoya 1979-2006. I choked back tears. Those were her kids. The kids had no parents. I wiped one falling tear and slid the wallet back in her pocket.
Those were the only ones killed. I turned around and everyone was back at the other side of the plane. I saw Jack and he had the little girl in his lap. I smiled but it died as I walked over.
"Jack can I talk to you." he nodded and he smiled as he set the girl down by her brother. He walked up and we took a few steps away.
"Out of the two ladies killed their mom was one of them." he closed his eye and looked away. I could tell he was trying to not get upset.
"Did you get any other information?" he asked. His eyes were glossy and his voice was shaky. I nodded.
"Her name was Laciellia Devoya and her husband's name was Devin Devoya he died in 2006. Those are their kids, Maria and Sammy. They're from England." he nodded.
"We need to land this bag of bolts." he whispered and walked past me to the pilot's cabin. I smiled at his comment and walked to the other passengers.
