"Look
Brad," Janet said in a concerned voice, "There's Tom, Joey and
Frank but where's Chris and Steph?" Brad, who was carrying two
suitcases, frowned.
"Maybe they just went to get some food or
something." He said, trying to assure Janet, and himself, that
everything was okay even though the kid's suitcases weren't
there. When they approached the others Tom and Joey went running up
to Brad and Janet.
"Mum, Dad," Tom said, "Have you guys
seen the other two?"
"No, we were going to ask you the same
thing." Brad said, frowning some more and Janet looked at him
frightened. Frank got up and walked over. He stood between Joey and
Tom, deciding that it wasn't Joey's fault her parents were
incestuous freaks.
"Well this is a predicament, isn't it?"
Frank said, rather amused with the whole situation and what the
Transylvanians were stooping to. It had to be the Transylvanians.
"Frank, this is serious!" Janet said, "What if something's
happened to them?"
"Obviously something has." He said
bluntly. Everyone looked at him coldly but it only made him smirk.
Just then, in that silence, Tom's newly turned back on
mobile phone started ringing in his pocket. He checked the number
then looked back up.
"It's Chris' number." He said. Joey
ushered him to answer it and so he did. "Hello?"
"Put me on
to your father." Riff Raff said. "Not Frank, the Earthling."
Tom gulped, looked at Joey with fear then handed the phone to Brad
who hesitantly picked it up.
"Hello." He said.
"Hello,
Brad." Riff Raff said.
"Now listen, Riff Raff!" Brad
yelled, "If you have Chris and Steph let them go. This is low Riff
Raff! I should have expected you to do such a low thing! After all,
you killed three people!" If this was a videophone you would have
seen Riff roll his eyes and pull the phone away from his face while
Brad continued to yell.
"Quite done, are we Mr. Majors?" He
said sarcastically. Brad grunted angrily which made the man on the
other side of the phone smile sinisterly. "Good." He said. "I'm
afraid if you want the children back you'll have to come get them."
Riff said calmly, "Otherwise something may, accidentally, happen to
them." Brad clenched his fist, he wanted to yell at Riff Raff again
but he knew that would get him nowhere fast and plus, the whole group
were looking at him and he didn't want to set a bad example for
Joey and Tom.
"Where?" Brad seethed.
"Oakley Court, you
may not know this but it is actually an old Transylvanian ship we
Transylvanians put on your planet many years ago. Just Frank and
Tom."
"You're not having them."
"We'll see."
Then the line went dead. Brads eyes narrowed on the carpet at how
rude Riff Raff was. It seemed like no Transylvanians had manors.
Besides Joey and Tom, but they were raised by earthlings.
"Well?" Joey said, anticipating an answer. Brad handed the phone
back to Tom then sighed before answering.
"They're at Oakley
Court, a castle. I'll go get them." Joey and Tom looked at each
other and laughed.
"No way!" Joey said.
"We're
coming." Tom said.
"They're our friends." Joey added.
"If they're going I'm coming." Janet said, "Someone needs
to keep them safe."
"If you are all going I'll go too."
Frank said, bemused. "It might be quite interesting." Brad looked
at everyone shocked at how brave they were being. He didn't expect
that from anyone in the group, they had been running the whole time,
he just thought they would now. He didn't want them to come though,
Riff Raff was a master with that laser and there was no doubt that he
had other agents there. How many reinforcements he and Magenta had
was the question.
"Is there anyway I can talk you three out of
this?" He asked hopefully but he knew that it would be in vain.
"No there's not." Janet sighed and smiled at him. "I will
stick by you no matter what, Tom and Frank are just as stubborn as
each other and Joey, well, she gets as determined as… well… you
know who is." Brad laughed and nodded. Joey raised an eyebrow.
"Who?" She asked confused. The three adults looked away and Tom
shrugged at her. "No, seriously, who?" No answer again as they
started walking towards the exit. "That's the second time one of
you guys have compared me to an unknown person. WHO IS IT DAMMIT?"
"Joey!" Janet gasped. "Watch your language. You're only
sixteen!"
"Sorry…" She mumbled angrily. Frank and Tom
laughed at her.

"Where are we? Why have you
captured us? Why are you doing this? Let us go!" The tied up Steph
had been saying things like this in the attic of the old castle for
an hour now, to the annoyance of Riff Raff, Magenta and even the also
tied up Chris but when Chris noticed how much it was annoying Riff
Raff and Magenta, particularly Riff Raff, he started encouraging it.
Eventually Riff Raff couldn't take it anymore and snapped.
"SHUT UP!" He yelled. "Sheese!" He said and threw his hands
in the air. "Get rid of one annoying pink haired earthling girl and
another one comes along! Do we attract them or something?" He asked
angrily, facing Magenta who was on the verge of laughing like Chris
was. "You be quite too." He said to Magenta who's laughter just
faded to a smile.
"I'm sorry, Riff." She whispered. "Just
relax." She said and walked over to her brother and started
massaging his tense shoulders. He let out a deep sigh and nodded. "Ve
vill capture Frank and his son, take them back to Transsexual,"
giggles from the kids who still found the name of the planet funny
but they stopped after getting death looks from both aliens. "Then
the Queen vill forgive us and ve can go back to living our lives
normally." Riff nodded again and smiled.
"All we have to do
is wait for them to appear." He said. He slowly faced the two tied
up children and his normal smile turned into a sinister one. He
walked over to them, bent down so he was eye level with them and said
in a very evil tone, "Until then we can have some fun with these
two."

A taxi pulled over to the side of the road at
the airport.
"Where to?" the fat cabbie with a pizza stained
grey shirt and dirty brown hat asked, chewing gum like a cow chews
grass. He didn't sound English. More like a New Yorker who had
moved to England not too long ago. Everyone piled into the car. Due
to the lack of seating Brad had to sit in the front of the cab.
"Oakley Court, please." Brad said. The cabbie whistled and
started driving.
"Nice place, nice place. You're going to
enjoy staying there." He said in-between chews.
"Oh, we're
not staying." Janet said.
"Oh?"
"More like meeting
old friends." Frank said. The cabbie nodded and continued driving.
While his passengers sat in deep silence, all preparing for what
could happen next. They all knew that one of them could end up dying
but that was a risk they were going to take. Steph and Chris had been
dragged along to this and had been great help, now it was their turn
to help them.
