DISCLAIMER; I don't own 39 clues
Where am I?
Ian opened his eyes and looked around; he was in an unfamiliar white room, richly furnished with vases and fresh flowers. He looked down at himself and noticed that he was sat down on a comfortable red easy chair and his hands and feet were bound with what looked like silk…
Silk? Well this is going to be too easy…
Ian bit the cloth tied around his hands, but it didn't even loosen, he continued on biting, but his efforts were in vain
"Stop wasting your energy dear brother, that's no ordinary silk." a high, girly voice with a British accent said from outside the door
"Natalie" Ian growled as he leaned forward
Natalie backed away and held up both of her hands in surrender
"Easy Ian, this wasn't my idea, it was mother's."
"Of course, good ole mum, she just can't stand to see me happy, can she?"
"I told you not to call me mum" Isabel said as she entered the room with her eyes narrowed at her eldest son
"What are you doing in Cairo mother? You're supposed to be in Italy with father." Ian said matter-of-factly
"I decided to visit my children; can't a mother do that now?" Isabel said in a sickly sweet voice with a smile on her face
Ian glared at her and said "funny, you don't seem to be the type."
Isabel said to him in a soft voice "Ian, you are my son and I love you, and I want what is best for you, and it's not the Cahill girl."
Ian glared at his mother, and stared at her eyes – his eyes – cold unfeeling, just like his before
I'm never going back to that again.
"Ian! Are you even listening to me?!" Isabel said angrily as she snapped her long, olive-toned fingers in front of his face
"I'm sorry mother, you just weren't worthy of my attention." Ian said
Isabel drew a gun out from inside her coat and pointed it straight at her son
"You will pay for your insolence Ian!"
Natalie widened her dark brown eyes and looked at her brother, then shifted her glance at her mother who was pointing the stun gun at her brother.
"Mother, please reconsider, Ian didn't mean to be insolent." Natalie pleaded for her brother
Isabel glared at her daughter who was a smaller carbon copy of her
"…besides, we could use the Cahill girl as an advantage..." Natalie said to her mother
Isabel paused, widened her eyes and looked at her daughter
"Of course, how could I have overlooked that detail?"
Isabel then lowered her gun and smiled at her son
"Looks like your little girlfriend is of some use to us after all."
Ian growled at his mother and said "don't you dare hurt her!"
"Oh don't worry my darling, I won't harm a single hair on that pretty, little head of hers." Isabel said before walking out of the room
Natalie looked at her brother, her eyes pleading, begging for forgiveness but Ian avoided her gaze
"Untie him." Natalie said softly as she followed her mother out of the room.
