The Families, Part 15: The Kirkland Family (2/3)
"...nations?" England said. "And their children?" He chuckled at this thought. "Fat chance. Why would they...!" He was actually right. Almost all of the nations were heading right toward him with their children.
"Mon Angleterre!" France cried out. "What is the issue?"
"Why did we have to be here?" America's daughter Vicky asked.
"And where's Blake?" Germany and his son Alexander inquired simultaneously.
"Well..." England sighed. "Blake is why you're all here. He was nowhere to be found this morning, and Chloe found a note on my place. It was from Blake, and it stated that he was catching a flight to San Francisco at 9:50 from here." The nations and their children gasped in shock.
"And..." Chloe took over for her father. "If we stop him, he said he's going to kill himself in front of all of us."
The person most shocked at this was, expectedly, Lia. She was already in tears, and Kumajiro, who had somehow remembered her name for the moment, was trying to comfort her.
The only nation with no reaction was, of course, Sweden, but even he seemed to be concerned. "Did Blake show any signs of negativity or have a change in behavior in the past few days?" he asked. England and Chloe shook their heads.
"No signs pointed to this...but that's not what's important," England replied. "What is important is finding my son before 9:50, and hopefully long before that. Also, how the hell did you all get here?"
"Oh," Canada spoke up. "We were all staying at France's place. We were going to head back to our respective countries, and France wanted to come with America, but we all had to transfer at Heathrow anyway. America spotted your text and called all of us to action. We got earlier flights and canceled our trips back home so we could help you out."
"Hm...who are you?" Kumajiro asked.
Canada facepalmed. "I'm Canada, your owner, and we're looking for England's son Blake right now."
"Who is he?" Kumajiro continued.
"Shut up, Kuma," Lia snapped through a sob. And he did.
"First thing's first," Germany told the rest of the nations. "We should split up and search for Blake. Let's have the North Americans, Lia and us Germans search with the Kirklands. The Nordics, France, Spain, the Italies, and their respective children can go out together. The rest of you will be a third group. We nations all have each other's numbers in case something is spotted. Deal?"
"Deal!" the nations and their children responded.
"Then let's go!" Germany yelled. The nations got into their groups and headed out.
~With the Nordics, France, Spain, and Italies~
"Oh, no!" Italy yelled. "I thought I was the last one who'd have problems like this. Now, Blake is at risk! What have I done?"
"Shut up, Fratello," Romano snapped back. "You didn't do anything, and Tomato Bastard didn't either. I don't know what's happened in England's house, but I'm glad it hasn't happened in ours."
"Well, I've noticed that if someone's lost and you play some of their favorite music, they come back a lot of the time," Sweden commented. "Right, m'wife?"
"I guess so, Mr. Sweden," Finland answered. "Do you know what music Blake likes?"
"Not really," France said. "I'll text Angleterre and ask."
"Sounds like a plan," Spain said. "Hope he responds quickly."
~With the Kirklands, the Germans, the North Americans, and Lia~
"Why the hell does it have to be Blake?" Lia sobbed as she kept up with the rest of her group.
"I don't know," England answered, "but we'll probably find out soon enough."
"I actually have an awesome idea thought up from my awesome brain," Prussia interjected."
"Yes, Bruder?" Germany asked.
"Well, West, do we know if England has any information about the ticket Blake got?" Prussia inquired.
"I don't know," Germany answered. "Hey, England, do you know anything about the ticket Blake purchased?"
"No..." England said. "But because it was on my credit card, I can cancel it!"
"Good idea, Dad!" Chloe agreed. "Everyone, wait here. We're going to go terminate Blake's ticket."
"My awesome plan of awesomeness will work like awesome magic!" Prussia exclaimed. "Only I don't need magic!"
A buzz was heard from England's phone. "Oh, France messaged me. 'What music does Blake like?' ...Well, I know this one." England texted back, "Play some popular dance music from 2011 or 2012. ...Yes, seriously. I hear it coming from his room all the time."
~To the rest of the nations~
"Aiya! I think I see someone up there!" China yelled out to his group.
"Where do you mean by 'there'?" Japan asked.
"Up there! On one of those beams!" Makoto answered for China.
"Yeah..." Austria said. "And it looks like he has...light brown hair too!"
"That may just be him! Let me text England," China told the rest.
"Good," Hungary replied. "But if we don't find him, this frying pan is heading straight toward your face."
"Not if I can stop it with my wok!" China yelled. He pressed "Send" on the message to England.
~Blake's perspective~
"Is that China down there? And Japan? Shit! How did they get here?" Blake thought. He realized that they were looking up at him. "And how did they find me? Ugh! Well, if I move from this beam, I'll probably die. I'll wait for them to come up here."
Blake looked down again and saw England, Chloe, and the North Americans going to the front desk. A minute later he heard "Save the World" by the Swedish House Mafia playing and saw all of them walking away, smiling. Blake smiled, enjoying the music. He also moved around a bit, partially because of the music and partially because of his discomfort.
"Oh, God!" Blake said to himself. "If I move and dance, they'll know it's me! Why the hell didn't I realize that before? ...Well, I'm done for now. Two groups know it's me. I guess this is it, then..."
~Back to England and his group~
"I see someone moving up there!" England spotted a young man up on a beam. "And he has light brown hair! And China texted me saying the same thing!"
"That must be Blake up there, then," Germany added. "Let's meet up with the others."
"See? My awesome plan worked like awesome magic, only I don't need magic," Prussia interrupted.
"Whatever, Gilbert," America said. "Let Iggy text the rest of the nations and their kids."
"Yeah," Parked continued for his dad. "We're nearly 100% sure it's him up there, so we're on the right track."
"Next up...getting him down," Lia grumbled. "Oh, boy."
America must have heard Lia. "I can do this! I'M THE HERO!" he shouted, almost causing Blake to fall off the beam.
"Al, relax. It's not just going to be you. And I'll lead this, thank you, once the others get back."
~Blake's perspective again!~
"I'M THE HERO!" Blake flinched at America's yell, almost losing his balance. He was hundreds of feet below him, yet he seemed so loud. "Sound rises," Blake thought, "but how can anyone sound so loud?"
Blake then saw all of the nations and their children running up some stairs used by workers. "Shit! They're heading right for me!" he thought. "What the hell can I do now? It's about 9:10 am anyway."
He then realized it. "It's my only shot. Blake inched forward on the beam. He saw England, Chloe, Lia, America, and others running for him and looking at him.
Blake paused. He closed his eyes. He slid further off the beam.
And then…
He fell.

Lilac/Lia: *hugs Blake* You are never doing that in real life, right?
Blake: Hopefully not. God willing.
Lilac/Lia: Good. Anyway, I was just here URHURDURing again while he wrote this chapter in, like, 2013. That's so last year.
Blake: This actually came from a series of dreams I had. But more on that after the final chapter, which should be up in 1-3 days. Should I finish this off again, Lilac?
Lilac/Lia: Yuppers! Bye readers~ *waves* TO THE INTERNET! *flies away*
Blake: Okay, then. Remember to come back soon for part 3.
Peace, Love, and Pasta (why not, pasta is amazing)~

P.S.:
Blake: Yes, "Save the World" is one of my favorite songs.
Lilac/Lia: You guys still have yet to learn about my tastes in music, which will probably be up in later chapters. MAYBE.
Blake: Whatever. Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone!
