Flight

Inheritance

"Wow, after all this time, the door to our house still creaks" Noah said shaking his head as Rhuben pushed open the door to their house.

"Remind me to fix it later," Rhuben said and sighed, closing the door behind them. "Where should we start?"

"I think that the master bedroom is the logical place to start," Sydney said, but held out his arm and stopped Patrick, who was trying to get by. "But, I don't think that's where it's going to be. Robert, I mean, sir, was really careful where he put the inheritance, and I don't think he'd be stupid enough to leave it in the room that he slept in."

"That's what you'd think," Riley sighed as she cracked her knuckles. "You may be a genius, Syd, but there are times when you're going to be wrong."

"Sure, but I'm right about one thing, and that's that we need McFly here," Sydney replied. He continued quickly when he saw his siblings confused looks on their faces. "Please, for once don't ask me my reasoning behind this, just call them and tell them to come over here. It's going to help us in the long run."

"Alright, we trust ya, Syd" Noah said and smiled at his baby brother before turning to his sisters. "Um, Pat, Syd and I'll call them, and then you two can start searching."

Riley and Rhuben nodded and ran up the stairs to the master bedroom.

"Wow, this is a cool hotel," Danny said as he looked around the room. "I wonder how the Jacksons were able to put this together."

"Let's not worry about that right now" Harry said as he drummed his fingers on a window sill. "What we have to worry about now, is seeing if we can find them. And seeing if we can help them get rid of their dad."

"Hey, have you guys actually seen this place?" Dougie asked, coming back inside from the balcony, a big grin on his face. "Its no wonder that the Jacksons love it here so much. We should consider buying a house out here."

"What are you so happy about?" Tom asked in an amused tone. "Just yesterday you were moping."

Before Dougie could reply, the hotel phone rang. Being the closest to it, Harry answered it, a confused look on his face.

"Hello?" he asked uncertainly.

"Harry, hey, it's me, Noah," the soft voice replied. "Patrick and Sydney are with me too."

"What's up with you guys, why'd you come back here?" Harry asked.

"Everything will be explained as soon as you come to our house. The address is 2015 Riverside. It's about twenty minuets away from the hotel you're staying at. You can ask for directions at the front desk. When you get here, just come right in. We should be done with what we're doing by the time you get here."

"Alright, see you then," Harry agreed and hung up. "Come on; let's go to the front desk"

"Where are we going?" Tom asked as the others followed Harry to the front door and to the elevator. He stopped walking when he saw Robert down the hallway. When Robert saw them, he gave a small smile, a wave, and took off down the hallway towards the stairs.

"Is it just me, or does it seem like he never goes away?" Danny asked as he cocked his head to the side.

"Don't just stand there; we have to beat him to the Jackson's house!" Dougie cried, slapping him on the back of the head as the four of them started to run.

"Why am I always the one that gets hit?" Danny grumbled to himself.

"DID YOU FIND IT?" Sydney shouted into the dumbwaiter hole, which served as the laundry chute.

"NO!" Patrick shouted back from the laundry room. "WE SEARCHED EVERY ROOM IN THIS HOUSE AND WE CAN'T FIND IT!"

"WHY'S EVERYBODY YELLING?" Noah shouted from the kitchen.

"EVERY BODY JUST SHUT UP!" Riley shouted back as she and Rhuben bounded down the stairs from the top floor of the house. Patrick came up from the basement, and Noah came out of the kitchen. The five Jacksons sat down on the floor and sulked, thinking of other places that the inheritance could be.

"Hello?" a familiar voice called from the front door.

"Tom!" Sydney cried happily and leapt to his feet, racing towards the front of the house. Riley, Rhuben, Patrick, and Noah scrambled to their feet and raced after him.

"Wow, it's like a stampede" Harry joked when he heard the Jacksons' rapid footsteps approaching them.

Sydney was the first one to appear, running towards Tom and leaping into his arms. Patrick, Noah, Riley, and Rhuben ran up next. Riley slowed to a walk as Patrick and Noah hugged Harry and Rhuben hugged Danny. Dougie smiled shyly at her and Riley quickened her pace, and hugged Dougie tightly.

"I missed you," Dougie whispered to her.

"Same here" Riley murmured in reply.

"Now, what's the reason that you all came back here?"

"To get our inheritance" Sydney sighed in reply as he ran his fingers through his hair. "To explain, we were supposed to get a lot of money when our parents died, but our dad took the money and hid it somewhere, and now we're trying to find it."

"That's where you guys come in," Rhuben said with a little smirk. "We need your guys' help"

"You want us to help you find it?" Tom guessed. Riley shook her head.

"No, we want you guys to help us take him to court" she said grimly.
