Thank you to those who reviewed, it means so much to me! :)
Now to the story, enjoy!
Chapter 11; iPhone
3rd POV
"My mothers name was Helen," said Cub.
"Is your mother my Aunt Helen?" asked Kitten, looking at him in wonder.
"I think so," he said.
"What does that mean?" a confused Kitten asked.
"It means that were cousins…" Cub said, "And that I need to make a call."
He then started looking through his back, throwing clothes all around in the search for his phone.
"Found it!" He exclaimed loudly, taking out his beloved iPhone. Kitten looked weirdly at him, but he just ignored it and started dialling a too familiar number.
"You have reached the Royal and General Bank, how may I help you?"
"I need to talk to Mr. Blunt," Said Alex.
"No one by that name works here."
Of course not, Alex thought.
"Well in that case, could you tell the not existing Mr. Blunt that Alex Rider want to talk to him?"
"Oh sorry Mr. Rider, I'll put you through right now."
"Thank you!"
"Alan Blu-"
"Did you know?" Alex said, interrupting Blunt.
"Yes."
"And you didn't think to tell me, because..."
"We didn't find it important."
"She's my cousin! How is that not important?" Alex demanded harshly.
"You know it now, is that not good enough?" asked the ever so cold voice.
"Whatever," said Alex, "But now I won't be going on any missions for a very long time."
"Fine."
"Fine?" Alex asked confused, since when do they listen to me?
"Yes. Goodbye Mr. Rider."
"Who was that?" Asked Kitten.
"My boss."
"What did he say?" She asked.
Cub looked at her for a moment before answering, "Nothing important."
"Okay," she said, walking over and sitting down on one of the beds.
"Do you have any other cousins?" Asked Cub, sitting down next to her.
"No, my Daddy didn't have any brothers or sisters, and Mummy only had Aunt Helen, you?" She answered/asked.
Cub looked at his newly found cousin and smiled, "No. I had an Uncle, but he never had any kids, guess he was too busy taking care of me!"
Kitten smiled and leaned against her cousin.
The two just sat there for an hour before…
"I miss my Mummy," Kitten whispered, a lone tear falling down her cheek.
Cub looked up at the sudden noise, and then smiled sadly.
"Yeah," he said, as he brought his arms around the crying little girl and hugged her tight, "Me too."
"Why did she go away?" She asked, sniffing.
"I don't know," He answered honestly, "But I do now that, no matter what, your Mummy is very proud of you."
"You think so?" She asked, looking at him.
"I know so," He answered, "You know, whenever I'm sad, I just go outside and look at the sky. Because I know that my parents are sitting up there and smiling down at me, and I'm pretty sure your Mummy is there too, laughing and smiling with them."
"Can we go outside and look?" She asked, looking at him with pleading eyes.
"Sure, come on," He said and stood up.
When Kitten made no move to get up, he sighed and smiled at her. Then he bet down and lifted her, settling her on his hip. She put her arms around his neck and rested her head against his shoulder.
He carried her outside and sat down on the, luckily, dry grass. He took her hands in his and turned her around, making her look at the sky.
Just as she spotted an angel formed cloud, she felt a gentle wind blow from the side, making the trees sway and her hair fly.
"I bet that was your mother," said Cub, smiling at her.
She smiled widely and looked at the sky again.
"Thanks Alex," she said, leaning against him.
Cub looked at her for a few seconds before smiling, "You're welcome Sophia."
…
"I'm bored," Kitten whined.
"I know, you've told me about ten times," said Cub, smiling at her.
"Can we play a game?" Kitten asked.
"What game?"
"Uhm…I don't know, don't you have any ideas?" asked Kitten.
"…I normally wouldn't do this, but how about we make some prank calls?" Said Cub, a huge smile forming on his lips.
"Yes!" Squealed Kitten.
Cub laughed and found his phone, dialling another familiar number, but not before making sure it was set on 'hide caller ID'.
"Okay, remember not to laugh and don't say anything." He told Kitten as it started ringing.
"Hey?"
Alex grinned at the sound of his friends voice as he answered with a high voice, "Hello, am I talking to Thomas Harris?"
"Yes, why?"
"Its actually a very funny story, because last night I was out walking with my dog, a sweet little puppy called Ruby, she's a five months old golden retriever, but that not the point, the point is that when I walked past your house I dropped something."
Cub looked at Kitten who was covering her mouth to stop herself from laughing, he too had a hard time not laughing at his friend.
"I dropped some potatoes."
"Potatoes?"
"Yes potatoes, and its very important that I get them back, because my family is coming tonight and I'm supposed to be serving baked potatoes, but I don't have any potatoes! So if you could go outside and look for them?"
"Sure, I'll just-"
"But if you find them, you can't call this number! You need to call the number 4791-6238-4936-2849-3437-2943-7229-4304, but its not really me you'll be calling, its my uncle from China."
"Sure, but I rea-"
"Its because I lost my phone last week when I was walking home from the circus, they had some really pretty horses by they way, but that's not important right now. So the phone I'm using right now is actually my neighbours phone, they just don't know that. You see, they have a teenage daughter who sneaks out all the time, leaving the bathroom window open for me to crawl in through."
"Sounds good, bu-"
"So if you find my potatoes, will you please call?"
"Sure, but now I got to go, bye!"
And then he hung up.
Cub looked at Kitten, another smile forming on his lips. They looked at each other for a few seconds before bursting out laughing.
…
AND…CUT!
