Jazmin pov
It's finally happened, Today was the day I finally returned home to my beloved family. 2 months couldn't have gone by any slower for me, the helicopter ride was torturing until we finally trenched over the mainland after 2 hours of water. The pilot dropped me off in my garden as I grabbed my things and waved goodbye.
"So long Nina!" I give her a warm hug
"Bye sis see you at our next mission!" Nina waved as the copter carried her home.
I walked inside and I could smell the air so fresh and clean it felt good to finally be home where I was needed. I raced inside the and into the house
"Hello I'm home!" I shout I expect to be bombarded by my kids and husband but they weren't there nowhere to be seen
"Benny...Kids, is anyone home" The whole place was utterly in silence. I figured Benny probably took the kids out for the day I was gladly going to wait until they returned home. I made myself comfy on the couch reading a magazine and humming in my head.
CRASH
I heard something from downstairs in the basement that made me jump. "Intruder!" I grabbed my gun from my purse and slowly walked towards the basement door and aimed, Nothing. I pressed forward down the steps with my Gun aimed firmly in my hand at the bottom step I didn't see anything or hear anything, just the sound of the light flickering on and off. I walked all around the basement but there was nothing there.
I let my gun down and rub my head "I must be hearing things" I turn back towards the steps and then I fell myself falling after getting hit with something hard. I got to my feet and felt the air, there was something loose and flimsy dangling over air, In fact there was a lot of things dangling over air in front of me. I turned on the light to see better.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I screamed so loud because I was in moral shock and despair.
My family were all strapped and dangling bodies and all high over the air, blood was dripping from their severed heads that dangles with the tiny bits of flesh still attached to their bodies. I covered my mouth in horror I didn't know what to think or do or say.
I dropped to the floor pounding my fists and loosing control "NO! NO! LORD WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME SO!? WHAT CRUEL ACT OF SIN HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS!? TORTURE ME BUT SPARE THOSE I LOVE, BUT WHY LORD...WHY?!" I pounded on the floor never had I felt so broken down inside than I was right now.
"I've finally done it!" I heard a strange voice. I jumped and looked around.
"Who's there!" I snapped but there was no one "Come out and show you're face I'm warning you I am in no mood to be messed with right now!" I demand super angry
"YOU!" I shot up and grabbed my gun
"Don't bother Jazmin we both Know you won't shoot!"
"Wanna bet..."
"No I don't gamble but I'm certain you won't shoot you don't have it in you right now to do that"
"I WILL SHOOT!"
He scoffs "Oh please, do you really think shooting me will bring back the one's you've lost? No they won't because life doesn't work that way and certainly not for you" I was so ready to wipe that smug face and him completely out of existence.
"Jazmin you might think you're stronger than you are but you're not because like everyone you have weakness the most powerful are what are closest to the heart and your family is your only weakness"
"SHUT UP BEFORE I BLAST YOU AWAY!"
"See! trying to cover your fear with rage you're not brave your just as weak and broken down as ever, you've got nothing else to live for and no one here for you"
"LIAR!" I screamed shaking the gun around in my grip.
"Am I the liar or are you! Convincing yourself you're strong and mighty and powerful...but I can see it in your eyes in your soul you're none of those things"
"I AM WHO I AM, THIS IS WHO I AM!"
"Is it or is it just a cover up for you! I mean look at you you're family's gone and you're aiming a gun at me
"But go ahead call me wrong...shoot me if you dare!" He stood in one place right where I was pointed and dropped his gun on the floor
"No weapon to defend myself prove me wrong and shot!" He snickered.
I was about to pull that trigger and end his miserable life. I wanted to I so wanted too but I froze there it was a stand-off between me and him, he had a smirk and I just had a confused look buried underneath one of anger.
"Well..what are you waiting for?" I don't know but I just dropped my gun and dropped to my knees crying into my hands. It was over I had lost everything my family, my life, my dignity, my ambition everything was just gone and I just couldn't suffer anymore.
I heard Conrad laughing evil as I looked at him walk to me with watery eyes "Hahahahaha I knew it! I knew you didn't have the guts to do it, even when you have nothing to lose!"
"But you know something..I have something to win from this!"
*Shot*
"Jazmin...Jazmin Wake up sis!"
"Huh what?" I open my eyes and Nina was looking at me, cradling me in her arms. I shivered like a kitten as she tried to soothe me.
"You we yelling in your sleep are you okay!?" She whispered.
I wiped sweat from her face and "I'm good just a bad dream!"
"Want to talk about it?"
"No!" I said.
That's when I heard a knock at our door and Trixie walked inside "Is everything alright I heard screaming" She asked
"Just a bad dream you can go back to sleep" I tell her.
Both of them go back to sleep and I turn over sighing
Just as I was about to go back to sleep I heard a noise coming from outside that made me jump. "Huh?" I asked looking outside I looked over my window and I saw a large black figure right outside.
"Ah!" I ducked under my sheets in fear. When I looked back up the figure was gone and the moonlight was casting on me.
"Nina did you just see..." Nina was already out-cold again, but what was that figure I just saw? maybe I should take a look.
I quietly snuck out of bed and unlocked the window ever so carefully, everything seemed nice and quiet but I had a feeling there was something out there. I poked my head out the window slowly looking this was and that with the midnight chills against my face, everything seemed normal, must've been all in my...
"What was that?" I heard something rustling in the tree's, It might be that figure I saw. I pulled out the knife I kept tucked inside my bra and gripped it in my hands whomever was trying to sneak up on me was about to get the slip, literally."
I was about to strike when I looked at it dead on 'Hoot Hoot hoot!'
"Oh!" I smiled and put y knife away "It's just an owl!" I smiled reaching out to pet it "Are you who was in my window earlier?"
"Huh?"
"What the..was that?!" "No no that couldn't have been...I'm just losing it a bit I think!" I rub my eyes they were tired and so was I.
"Jazmin?!" I look from the widow to see Nina looking at me from bed "What are you doing?"
"Just getting back in bed!" I hold my tummy as I shift back into bed and try to sleep this off.
Hopefully it'll all be better in the morning.
It was that time of the day when Jazmin gave me a daily call when she had at least a few moments to spare, of course nothing could beat really having her here with me and everyone else.
"So Jazmin how is everything?"
"Perfect just perfect"
"Oh that's good to hear I was beginning to worry"
"Why would you need to worry?"
"I know this might sound crazy but I've been having weird dreams and visions about you"
"That's probably because you miss me so much"
"Yeah but in these I picture terrible things happening to you and once I dream you were gone from me and I-I just didn't know what to do with myself"
"Benny please don't cry"
"Who said anything about crying?" I asked
"I've been having weird dreams about you too, that when I came home you and the kids were going to be gone away from me"
"Why would you dream about that? I'm not the one who's thousands of miles away from everyone I love it's you I'm having my concerns about you're out there in a strange place anything could happen to you"
"Benny I can handle myself"
"I know but that doesn't mean I can't worry about you does it?"
I hear her giggle "No I suppose not"
"Trust me I'm about as safe here as I can get, It's you who needs to be careful I don't want to lose you or our child"
"I will I promise"
"I have too...
"Go?" I finished her though before her "I know you do I'll.."
"Talk to you later?" She finished for me this time "Yes you will!"
I gave her a smirk "Jazmin you really do..."
"Yes I do know you so well!"
Our talks never really lasted as long as I'd hope but whatever I head her sweet voice it made my day's brighter. I sighed and backed my face against the walls, I hated having Jazmin away from me but I had come to accept the fact that this is what Jazmin had to do and I supported her through it all. I looked at the ring on my finger 17 years me and Jazmin have been married and every single day after that has been one joy ride after the next, she was the most wonderful girl in the whole world and if I ever lost her, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. At this point I was just praying she come home safely and leave all my worries in the back of my mind.
"Jazmin when shall I ever see your face again" I sighed walking out into our garden to do some chores to keep myself occupied.
...
Benny pov
I had taken the kids over to Jazmin's parents house for the weekend, Being home all the time was not making me felt any better and the kids were getting pretty bummed out all the time, so since Mr. and Mrs. Crimson hadn't seen their grand-kids in a while I thought the triplets and Bennie would like to spend time with the roots from where they originated, with their grandparents being retired spies and all, the kids could learn a lot from them both.
I was up with Bennie's playing in her room that her grandparents made for her when she stayed over it was pink and sparkly with lots of rainbows and flowers and toys everywhere.
"Would you like more tea daddy?" Bennie asked pouring me a some in a plastic cup.
I smiled and stood up from my chair "Maybe later Bennie it's time for your nap now"
"No! I don't want to" She argued folding her arms.
"Don't argue with me Bennie now go on"
"Why?" she whined crossing her arms.
"If you don't take your nap then you don't get Ice cream after you wake up"
"Oh I feel sleepy now!" She got up and tucked herself in bed. I kissed her forehead and walked out of her room and downstairs and sat on the couch.
Jazmin's parents had stepped out for and the triplets were outside hanging with their friends from this garden so I was just making myself comfortable. It was quiet, I saw they had a lot of photos hung around the walls mostly it was of Jazmin, Nina and Trixie but there were a few pictures of me and Jazmin and the kids we sent to them.
"Benny" I looked and saw Jazmin's parents behind me
"Oh sorry I was looking at this picture" I set it down and grin.
"Oh yes that was the day Jazmin got assigned into the spying academy, she was a young prodigy at such a small age, actually all the of my girls were taking after my spying skills" He smiled.
"They may have had your skills but I was the one who taught them everything they know"
"Except how to handle weapons that was all me" He boasted making her roll her eyes "Nina, Trixie and Jazmin, those are 3 daughters a father can be proud of" He smiled
"Yeah but can I ask you both something?"
"Sure champ what's on your mind?" Henry smiled patting my back
"Well since you two were spies in back in your days I figured you could both help me?"
"Is this about Jazmin?" Tina asked
"Yes! And since Jazmin's an agent and all, she told me not to worry about her and stuff but whenever she goes on spy missions I just have a feeling something terrible might happen to her, and even thought she comes back just fine...I don't know am I being to worried about her?"
"Benny it's okay to worry about Jazmin cause we know how much you love her, we love her as much as you do"
"You do?"
"She's our daughter, she and her sisters were our greatest accomplishments ever" Henry sighed.
"And we went through the same thing you're going through with Jazmin that we went through with her" Tina smiled
"You are?"
"When she and her sisters were little we had to leave them all the time to go fight and battle, sometimes it would just be for a day, sometimes for weeks and our biggest fears every time we walked out this garden would be we might not ever get to see our girls pretty faces ever again"
"That's exactly how I feel for Jazmin, I'm just worried I'll loose her out there and not even know it"
"But before we did go we would always spend time with our girls and showed them just how much they meant to us, and we always promised them we would return to them again and that they had nothing to fear"
"I know that feeling?" I scoffed happily.
"But it didn't matter what we said cause the girls always feared for our safety and we always feared for returning to them again" Henry explained tapping my shoulders "Benny when you worry about someone that's showing you care just the right amount about them, and when they feel the same they return that same concern for you in return, I'm sure Jazmin would be feeling the same way if you did dangerous things?" He rubbed me on the arm.
"I'd want her to worry, if I never got to se her loving face again!"
"Jazmin fears for her safety of returning just as much you do and you need to trust she'll keep her promise and come back to you"
"I do trust she'll come back but I fear she won't come back the way I want!"
"In one piece?"
"No! I mean Yes but also, That she won't come back...with out baby!"
"No matter how she returns she'll always be our daughter you fell in love with" Tina smiles.
I smiled back "I know she will, cause I will never stop loving your daughter, she's the best thing that ever happened to me"
"You don't know how happy I am to hear a guy say that, of all the guy Jazmin's had come onto her you're my favorite" Henry said tussling my head.
I'm glad Jazmin's parents liked me now if only there daughter were here with me too. "Mr. and Mrs. Crimson"
"Oh Benny you can call us Tina and Henry if you want" her mum smiled
"Okay well just wondering, how did you guys know that Jazmin would take a liking to being a spy?"
"Well we knew Jazmin was destined for great things the day she was born. When she reached that certain age we knew she was going to be the most amazing spy they've ever had" Tina explained.
"I agree she does has fire in her heart" I smiled "But doesn't it concern you that something might happen to her"
They both laughed "Nothing could happen to Jazmin she can handle herself, she's one of the most determined and hardheaded girls there is"
"True she back-talked me all the time when she was young. Most Dad would scold their kids for it but I was pretty impressed with her courage, that's her heritage blood running through her" Henry seemed very pleased about his daughter's personality.
And here I was worrying about her and more importantly thinking what she was doing right at this moment.
...
After that little visit and once they were back home where they belonged Benny went strolling through his garden deep in thought. It killed him to know how much pain was going through him at that very moment all the sadness building wanting to be let out or replaced by the satisfaction of the only girl who could make him happy.
He stepped in a little puddle and saw the sadness of his own reflection. The image soon turned into Jazmin smiling and blowing him an imaginary kiss but he could feel it touch his lips. The water than began to rise up over Benny's height giving him a scare and it suddenly took the form of her.
"Jazmin?!" Benny said rubbing his eyes
"I miss you Benny" His vision of her says "I would swim across the seas to be with you once again"
"Your voice has never been so beautiful to my ears" He says smiling at her, hypnotized.
"Take my hand!" Without hesitating he reached for her palm but it turned into water. Benny pulled his hand back as the rest of her turned to water and splashed back on the ground into the puddle again.
"Daddy the phone's ringing" Bennie calls to him
He raced to the phone to answer it "YO!"
"Benny mate"
"Gnomeo what's up"
"I haven't heard from you in a while"
"Yeah, full time fathering still going on"
"Listen if you're free tonight wanna hit the town with the guys?"
"I don't know I can't really leave the kids alone"
"Oh C'mon"
"Hmmm...I'll think about it"
"*Sigh*whatever you say"
"Oh got another call talk later mate" I click off and switch to the other call "Benny here"
"I just love hearing your voice"
"Is this my loving wife calling"
"The very same"
"What's the occassion?"
"Can't a girl call her husband?"
"Yes but how are you doing?"
"Struggling surviving same old"
"That makes me nervous" I said with a slight frown.
"Benny relax I'm fine"
"And..."
"The baby's fine too"
"Just checking"
"Yeah you're always 'just checking'" She laughs and so do I.
"DADDY! There's a big spider in my room"
"Father duties gotta go"
"I should say so"
"I still miss you"
"Me too
Meanwhile sitting on the couch overhearing that conversation one young blonde teenage girl was feeling sorry for her father.
"Guys I'm worried about Dad" Fuscia said looking to her siblings who were paying her no mind. "Guys!" She screamed louder
"Huh I'm sorry you say something!" Scarlett asked.
"Yeah I said I'm worried about dad?"
"How so?" Benzin asked flipping through the T.V
"Ever since mum left he's not being himself"
"Dad's never really himself nowadays!" Benzin said.
"Because he misses mum!"
"Yeah that's a shame" Scarlett and Benzin both said without a hint of emotion
Fuscia looked at them both "You know the concern you both have for our parents is very overwhelming" She said with hurtful sarcasm.
"What?" Benzin asked eyeing her "We're just being truthful!"
"Dad misses mum and so do we, we're just not trying to let our emotions get the best of us is all" Scarlett said while painting her nails.
"Yeah but mum being a secret agent and all who knows what kind of danger she could get into" Fuscia adds.
Benzin scoffed "Mum's the best there is she can handle herself!"
"Yeah but it's not going to be that easy for her now, If you recall she's carrying our new little brother or sister"
"I see your point Fusc. but what can we do? I mean mum's gone and Dad's a wreck without her, we're just going to have to deal with it for the time being" Scarlett said as they all went back to their own business.
"Maybe not" Fuscia said standing up "Maybe we could do something about it"
Her twin siblings looked at her and asked at once "What could we do?"
Fuscia looked at them "Simple we could go to the Island where mum is and help her out, maybe then she'll get done faster and come back home"
Benzin started to laugh "Fuscia do you even hear yourself? that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" he laughed more.
"Not just dumb crazy too!" Scarett adds.
"I'm being serious!" Fuscia protests.
Benizn stands up and grips his sisters shoulders "Fuscia I think all those makeup chemicals have finally gotten to your head cause your talking crazy!" Fuscia gives him a look and pushes him away.
"Yeah and there's no way dad would ever let us do that" Scarlett points out.
"Who says he has to know?" She smirked.
"I don't know!" Benzin said.
"C'mon guys this could be beneficial to us all"
Scarlett and Benzin looked to each other "Like?"
"Like everything! Mum taught us all there is to know about spying, and we'd get the chance to experience real life spying first hand"
"That would be cool" Scarlett said.
"And what better way to sow mum just how much her teachings have come in handy for us, it won't be all for nothing and she'd be so proud of us!"
"True!" Benzin adds.
"So what do you say?" Fuscia begged. Her siblings both looked at each other, it was hard to argue with logic like that.
"We're in!" They smiled with a group hug "Just one thing that concerns me; How would we even get there?" Benzin asked.
"Just leave that to me" she smirked.
...
That night the triplets all put on their black ensembles and were about to embark on their mission.
"I still can't believe you 3 are actually going though with this?" Bennie said to them
"Bennie be quiet!"
"Don't expect me to lie for you all when dad asks what happened"
"No problem we've got that covered"
"We called our friends and they said they'd cover for us"
"And Bennie you are going to keep your mouth shut about this"
Bennie crossed her arms "On what grounds?"
The triplets pulled out all their bags of Leftover Halloween candy and tossed them to her. Bennie looked inside there was an embarrassment of candy of all kinds. "I'll be as quiet as a mouse" She made the deal and then walked off.
"Good now let's get going" Benzin said, they all pulled up their masks and jumped out the window and into the grass. They walked around their shed and through the window they could see their dad in the kitchen making them dinner.
"Get down!" Benzin said and they all ducked before their dad could see.
"Kids dinner" They hear him call but they had to stay silent "Kids...KIDS!" Benny shouts even louder.
"Daddy, Benzin, Scarlett and Fuscia said they already ate" They hear Bennie's voice say.
"Already ate?" Benny said
"Yeah and now they just want to be alone in their rooms"
"Well I guess they'll eat this dinner tomorrow then"
"Can we go up to my room and play?" Bennie cried holding on his arm.
"Ok sweetie lead the way" They peek up to see their dad and sister walk out the kitchen
"Close one!" Benzin said wiping sweat away. "Now let's go"
The triplets snuck all the way through their garden and out into the alley where they made haste with the quickest directions possible and right up to "A.R.F.F Headquarters"
"Tell me again why we came here?" Scarlett asked
"What better way to get to mum than through the Organization where she works for" Fuscia said, they all climbed the wired fences and scampered across the vacant parking lot. the went around the entire building to the very back, they got down on all fours and crawled through the grass. The lower windows revealed the bunker where they kept all the planes and copters and cargo holds. From the outside the triplets could clearly see that some agents were loading up planes with cargo for travel, all they had to do was figure out which plane to take.
Fuscia tripped opening one window "Locked!" Fuscia said banging on it hard.
"Allow me" Benzin picked up a rock and cracked the glass open, they crawled through to the suspended platform and slid down the ladder into the ground where all the crates were piled high and wide, perfect for them to hide through.
"Okay now one of these must be going close by to Island base" They said trying to pick which plane to take.
"Chief where do you want these cargo crated delivered?"
"I told you those are going to the plane being delivered to the Island base" Chief said pointing.
Overhearing that they all smiled "Island base that's where mum is" Scarlett whispered
"Let's go!" They all hopped up and low crawled around the place to where the cargo destined for the island was being loaded. Then silently snuck aboard and hid behind a stack of crates as boxes were being tossed on and the plane was closed up.
The 3 of them all stood to their feet and uncovered their masks "Well we did it we're on our way" Fuscia said hugging her sister and Brother "We're on our way"
...
"Bennie where are your sisters and Brother?"
Bennie had to think fast or it was curtains for her "Uhmm..what was the question?"
"Your siblings they aren't in their rooms" Benny says.
"Oh yeah...I saw them go down into the basement" She thinks up something.
"They spend way too much time down there" Benny shakes his head and goes to his room.
"Daddy!" Bennie peeks in there "Where are you going?"
Daddy's going out with his friends tonight so your siblings are gonna watch you" Benny tickles Bennie's chin making her giggle.
"Wait did you just say my siblings have to watch me" She panicked.
"Yes in fact I'll go tell them!" Benny says walking to the door
"NO!" Bennie steps in his way giving him a fright.
"I mean...Uh I'll got tell them!" Bennie says backing away into into the halls and down the stairs to the basement.
"GUYS DADDY'S LEAVING AND YOU ALL NEED TO WATCH ME!" She called down.
"Ok!" She imitates her siblings voices to fool her dad and then races back to her dad.
"Okay they're all taken care of" Bennie says racing back to her father.
"Okay I'll be back late but I expect you to be in bed when I get home" He says seriously.
"I will"
Benny gives her a kiss "Goodnight sweetie"
"Bye Daddy!" Bennie waves and just as she closes the door lets out a big relief.
"I hope I can keep this up! I hope they get back here soon!" Bennie sighs.
OH what will happen? Will Bennie crack and tell? Will the tripletts return in time or will other things happen? All this and more in the next chapter!
