Chapter 9:
The last three hours of the flight was a blur. The talking, the unpacking, the nausea, and the (finally) arrival.
When he got out of the plane, all Storm could think about was:
Ground! London! Finally! Happy!
He almost kissed the ground, until he realized there were people around him.
"Finally! Right?" Joy exclaimed. She breathed in the air, and quickly recoiled.
"Not the 'fresh air' I was expecting."
London was not at all as they were expecting. It was humid, and cold, especially since it was autumn.
Storm pulled out his jacket from his satchel and gave it to Joy.
She stared strangely at it.
"Thanks."
"No problem. Now come on; we have an ice cream shop to find."
They walked through the crowded streets of London, mostly looking at the scenery. Aaaaand maybe some light window shopping, just for the fun of it.
They admired Big Ben, and procrastinated around the city, almost for getting that they actually had a place to be.
After all the excitement, they had finally found the ice cream shop.
"We are very late," Joy scolded Storm.
"He never said a specific time, so were not late," He said in an "of course" tone.
"So where is this guy?" Joy asked.
"Maybe it's him," Storm pointed at a boy who looked like he was in his late teens. He had light brown hair and it was styled into a pullback. He had a charming and dimpled smile.
Storm glanced at where Joy was but she wasn't there. He doubled-back.
"Joy?"
He saw her talking to the boy over in the corner of the shop. He walked over to her agitated.
"Jo- "
"Storm! This is Gerald!" Then she whispered, "I think he's the guy we're supposed to meet up with…"
Storm hoarsely replied, "Ya think?!"
Then he fake smiled.
"Hi, I'm Storm McQueen, and I think you called me…"
"Yes I did. Come with me. I'll buy you some ice cream while we talk."
They got their ice cream and sat down at a near table.
"So… can you tell me more about my father?" Storm asked excitedly.
Gerald smiled. "Of course. Just sit back, and hold on."
The concrete under the table started to shake and open up.
They fell into the deep concrete hole.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Their screams trailed off, and the hole closed up as soon as it had opened.
