Chapter Nr. 8.
On The Road
Jim was driving his new black GMC with Rick.
"What do you think, where is Gabriel? "
"Where would you go if you wanted to hide? "
"Dunno, I was never good at hide-and-seek. "
"I'm sure he is at the forest somewhere. " smiled Jim as his phone went off and he immediately picked it up as he saw that the caller ID was Mel" Hey sweetheart! "
"Hi Jim, did you find Gabriel? "
"Nope, but I guess I know where he is... "
"...at the forest " they said at the same time.
"We're heading there. Do you want us to pick you up?" asked Jim as he slowed down the car a little bit.
"No, we'll go with Eli's car. "
"Okay, when you arrive, call me, and we'll meet somewhere, for example at the camp site? "
"Sure honey, see you at the camp site! Love you. "
"Love you too. " he closed his phone. Jim and Rick went straight to the forest and hoped they'll find Gabriel first.
Beth's Weekend-House (In the forest)
Gabriel was there thinking what to do for her sister.
"A bomb maybe? ... Yeah, I should make a smokebomb...aand, then I could kidnap my „big" sister. Dad should be proud of me... "
He started to make the smokebomb, although he didn't notice that he wasn't alone...
Forest
Jim and Rick parked the car at the campsite next to Eli's and went into the forest for looking Gabriel. Jim tried to call Mel but she didn't answer her phone. They were walking for about 20 mins when Jim's phone started ringing.
"Clancy. "
"Sorry Jim, I forgot to call you when we arrived, but we were on a hot trail... "
"Where are you now, honey? "
"Do you know where's my mom's weekend-house? "
"Sure, we're just 2 mins far from it. "
"I saw Gabriel inside, I'll go in now, please hurry! "
"No, Mel, don't go inside! " but Melinda hanged up the phone before Jim could say anything more.
Mel started to go inside with Eli.
"Run, Mel is going inside her mom's weekend-house and Gabriel is in there! If he shot her I bet he could hurt her anytime! " said Jim to Rick and they started to run to reach the little weekend-house and as they saw it they could see Melinda and Eli going inside...
Beth's Weekend-House
As Melinda and Eli stepped into the house the door immediately closed.
"What the...? " Eli tried to open it but it didn't move so they moved into the kitchen where Gabriel was.
Outside Jim and Rick have just reached the house when the door closed.
"Noooo! " Jim tried to open the door but Madison didn't allow it from inside. Meanwhile in the kitchen.
"Gabriel! Why did you want to kill me? Such a nice family, last year my „so-great" father nearly killed me, and now you... " started Melinda.
"Don't be so rude sis, I don't even know your friend... "
Madison was standing right behind Gabriel as he grabbed his gun out of his bag.
"What are you planning to do? She is you sister! " panicked Eli.
"Just half-sister. And I don't really care about her, instead of her I care about her power, the so-called gift. "
Meanwhile outside.
Jim went to the window and looked in. He was so scared and angry as he saw the gun in Gabriel's hand. Jim knew the house better than Gabriel so he and Rick went to the back of the house where was a trapdoor to the basement.
"Okay, I'm starting to feel some panick in the air... " .started Rick.
"Just from your side buddy, I'm more angry than scared. "
Then they started to climb down as 2 police officer arrived.
"Hey Jim! What are you doing? " said the woman, who's name was Joy.
"Hey sister! I'm trying to save my wife. " nodded Jim.
"C'mon and she is in the basement? " asked the other officer.
"Of course, and she is hiding in one of the washingmachines. " said Rick sarcastically.
"Okay, we're going inside from the front. " she pulled out her gun.
"Don't ya think we tried it before Sara? "
"With a 9mm Beretta? If you shot the lock with this sweetie, it'll broke into a million pieces." said Gavin, the male officer.
"Why are you still standing here? The front door's lock won't broke by itself. " urged them Rick. The 2 police officers nodded and they went to the front door...
Gabriel loaded the gun with the remedy for his evil liquid.
"You wanna shoot me again? " asked Melinda with an angrier tone in her voice than ever.
"Calm down sis, the furst bullet is loaded with the remedy for that liquid which took your power. "
"Why can't I drink the serum? "
Meanwhile Jim and Rick got into the basement and tried to get near to the kitchen without anyone of in the kitchen noticing them. And Gave and Joy tried the front door which was already open when they got there.
"That's a great question! I have one more antidote Melinda... "he picked out a phial from his bag while still pointing the gun at Eli and Melinda"...Here it is, aaand, if you can catch it you can drink it! "and he throw the phial to the air which was the last chance of Melinda to get back her ability without being hurt.
