Beltran's Hidden Secret
As mentioned before my dear friends and family, Jameson and Beltran will be the main characters in this chapter, because you will see what they are going through while their family are out dealing with the pressure of finding their missing friend. But I bet you guys are a bit curious…1. How did Tomada know where Raul and his friends were? 2. How did Jameson and Kelly know where to go to meet them? And 3. What are Helena's family going to do while their foreign friends try and escape? Well…we are nearly at the end of this spin off, but don't you worry! All of your questions will be answered as the story carries on! Let's get to the chapter shall we?
(A Few Hours Before Tomada Finds His Friends)
"If his name is Jameson, then why is his father's name called James?" The young dove asked a very irritated Kelly, who slapped her forehead in annoyance as she gazed at the young dove.
"I don't know okay? I don't know!" The elf owl female finally gave in to her questions and started rubbing her eyes. "Why are you asking me all of these questions?"
"I'm sorry miss Kelly! Do you hate us?" A young female chick frowned, as her eyes started to fill up with tears. Making Kelly immediately change her facial expression to try and calm her down.
"No! No no no! I don't hate you! Why would you think that?" She crouched down and scooped her up in her wings lovingly.
"Because you didn't like us asking you questions? I thought that you thought we were annoying you?"
"Of course you guys aren't annoying me? I mean…the constant questions about my boyfriend was a little much! But it doesn't mean that I hate any of you at all! Look, why don't we go inside and see what your dad and your grandfather are up to?" Kelly sweetly replied as she nuzzled her cheek against the young chick's face.
"Okay!" All of them simultaneously replied as they all followed her inside the broken and rusty old building. Which still gave Kelly the creeps.
"Poor family! We have to do something nice for these guys?" She thought to herself as she continued carrying the young female dove in her wings.
Meanwhile…With Jameson and Beltran…
Our black owl feathery friend was currently walking through a rusty old room, that was filled with nothing but rotten fruit and trash floating around all over the place.
He was rather disgusted by the way it all looked to him, but at the same time he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Because he didn't want to offend Beltran in any way! Especially after losing his son in law, and the fact his family lives in such an old place! It's not exactly like the male adult dove had it all figured out.
After a few seconds of the two of them walking in silence, Beltran pointed to a chair that was opposite another one. And he asked Jameson to sit down so they can talk for a little bit.
"Please my friend…take a seat and make yourself comfortable!" Beltran asked kindly as he slowly walked over to the other chair and he too sat down himself.
"Thank you!" The black owl male replied, and sat down on the chair opposite him. "So…what is on your mind my friend? Anything you want to talk about?"
"Why did you agree to come here Jameson? Do you have any idea what you and your friends have gotten yourself into?" Beltran asked him seriously as he placed a wing on his shoulder. "As far as your friend Raul is concerned…he should have told Helena that he loved her so she'd stay in Rio!"
"What? Beltran…is there something that I should know?" Jameson asked him in a concerned way, as he saw the dove shaking his head from side to side. "Come on? Whatever it is you can tell me? What's going on?"
"Félix is here mi amigo…" The Spanish white dove spoke as he gave him the most serious glare possible.
"Félix? Who's Félix?" He cocked his head to the side in confusion.
"Exactly…who is…Félix?!" Beltran walked over to the wall of the room in a strop to show his anxious state.
Jameson followed his gaze as he walked over there, and the more he stared at him…the more concerned he got.
Suddenly, Beltran pulled a long sheet of wallpaper off the wall…revealing a huge murder board.
"Holy…shit!" The black owl male cursed as he fell off of his chair, staring at the board that was full of locations and times. Scaring the living hell out of him. "Are you…are you a…"
"An…Assassin?" Beltran asked in response before slowly revealing a scar on his chest. "Yes…I am indeed an assassin!"
Jameson was shocked beyond belief! This took him completely by surprise. "Where did that scar come from?"
"Torture…Hell…Fear!" Beltran trailed off as he covered his scar back up with a patch.
"Wha…What…What are you trying to tell me?" Jameson asked again curiously, as he stood up onto his talons, and walked over to the board. That was covered with crosses across several places in the world.
Beltran sighed in sadness, and placed a wing upon the wall…dropping his head down to the ground.
"A few years ago…my family was currently living in this beautiful sanctuary in Madrid! One of the most beautiful places I've ever been honoured to love and cherish!" He started explaining his story with a very heavy heart. Because he knew that this story wasn't going to be easy to share.
"Then what happened?" Jameson asked as he walked up to him with a surprised look.
"Ughhhhh…Leandro…"
"Leandro? Who's Leandro?"
"…..RDJ's father!" Beltran replied as he placed a wing on his head.
"WHAT?!" Jameson shouted in disbelief, and his eyes widened up to the size of golf balls.
"SHHHHHH! None of my family know about this!" Beltran shouted in a loud whisper while covering the board again with the sheer of wallpaper. "Help me put this back!"
"Okay! Okay!" Jameson quickly ran up to the wall, and lifted the paper up, and helped him paste it on the wall. "Beltran…how do you know RDJ's father? Was he also an assassin?"
"Oh yes…he was more than just an assassin! He was the best assassin in our order!" He spoke with a bright smile, and finished putting up the wallpaper. "Not only that, he taught me everything that I knew!"
"So…how did you end up here?"
"After what happened with Leandro's death, I too had to move my family out of the sanctuary! If I didn't do that at the time, then I probably would have been killed!" The male white dove responded as he started pacing up and down the room with his wings on the sides of his head. "Others who lived there…were slaughtered by Felix and his men!"
"Why? I thought that RDJ was the only assassin and now you are telling me there are more?"
"Not just me and RDJ…There are more of us!" Beltran responded with a warm smile. "But nobody else can know!
"Know about what?" A new voice entered the room and it startled both Jameson and Beltran.
"AHHHHHH!" Both of them screamed simultaneously as Jameson jumped into Beltran's wings. Making the male dove look at him weirdly.
"What…the fuck…are you doing?!" Beltran narrowed his eyes at the black owl who started stuttering nervously.
"Ughhh…I…Ughhhh…Erm…"
"Really Jameson? Twice with Alex, now you're doing it to Beltran? Do you have no self control?" Kelly giggled as she walked up to her boyfriend after the dove put him down, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Hey! There you guys are!" Two more voices entered the room, and they revealed to be Sorrel and Tomada.
"Guys? Where the hell have you been?" Jameson asked his close friend curiously as he patted him on the shoulder. "Were you two dry humping each other on a car roof again?"
Sorrel and Tomada blushed in embarrassment, as they remembered what happened the night that they got married.
"Well, after we went to the park to find Helena, we bumped into this nice scarlet macaw female who took us to the Bernabeu stadium! That's Helena's favourite spot supposedly!" Sorrel explained as Tomada wrapped his large wing around her.
"And that took almost an hour? Real Madrid's stadium is only a twenty minute fly from here?" Beltran replied in confusion, and scratched the back of his head. "I used to take her there a lot as a chick! I also used to go there when her and Sergio first started dating!"
"Yeah well…there was a little incident at the stadium where we found an injured scarlet macaw male, and we brought him back to his base of operations! Then after that, they told us that Elenor definitely had things handled with Raul and Cabot! Especially after some scarlet male is already hunting Helena as it is!" Tomada finished explaining, and the falcon sat down on the seat rubbing his talons.
"Wait a minute…go back to what you just said?!" Beltran paused for a brief moment, as something Tomada said just triggered something in his mind.
"What? About the guy we found at the stadium injured?" Sorrel pondered and cocked her head to the side. "Yeah he was in really bad shape the poor guy! Luckily we managed to drop him off at the guild that they have in the city! Which is rather quite discrete!"
"No not that! After that part!" The dove eagerly spoke as he signalled with his wingtip for them to think back.
"About hearing that some scarlet macaw is trying to kill Helena? Yeah I know right?" Tomada spoke up as he continued to rub his talons. "I don't know the guy's problem? Maybe he's like an ex boyfriend or something?"
"No…No! About a certain…Elenor? This isn't the same Elenor who's a scarlet macaw female right?" Beltran piped up as he got all excited about hearing that name. "Tell me if I'm wrong about this?!"
"No! Her name is Elenor…and she told us she was an assassin? How weird is that? Also…it gets weirder! Did you know that…" Sorrel was about to say the next line, but Beltran finished her sentence much to their surprise.
"RDJ is her mentor?" He beamed with a bright smile and crossed his wings. "I know, I know everything about Elenor!"
"What? How did you…How did you know that?!" Sorrel and Tomada widened their eyes in surprise when they heard this. Especially since they barely know this guy.
"Because his dad, was one of my best friends!"
"WHAT?!" Everyone chorused all at once with widened eyes. Making the dove narrow his eyes at them with a little annoyance.
"Oh please…speak a little louder…I think my wife couldn't hear you from downstairs!" He angrily spoke as he walked up to the door and slammed it shut. Locking the door from the inside immediately. "Please…Jameson already knows about this but…I too am an assassin!"
"Shut the front door!" Kelly beamed in shock, and placed a wing on her heart.
"He already locked the front door Kelly!" Jameson replied innocently, before receiving a slap from Sorrel on the back of his head.
"It's true! I was an old contact from a few years ago when RDJ's father saved me from a gang of vile birds in the city! He spent a couple of years here training me and helping me prepare for anything!"
"So…why didn't you tell us this before?!" Jameson wondered in confusion, scratching the back of his head.
"Well when I saw the son of my deceased friend, it just made me think that it was better left unsaid! But now that you guys are here, and Félix is lurking in the city, who knows what will happen to my poor baby girl now!" Beltran sadly spoke as he placed a wing on his head to think.
"Félix? Who's Félix?" Sorrel asked curiously as she approached the male white dove.
"He's a scarlet macaw! He was trained by Eli in the assassin order! Before RDJ killed him for betraying his father!"
"Shit…wait…he's a scarlet macaw you say?"
"Yeah? What about it?"
"Well…Elenor did mention that the bird trying to kill Helena used to be an assassin? Maybe Félix is the one who's trying to kill your daughter?!" Tomada pointed out as he placed a wingtip on his chin to think.
"If that's the case! Then you need to head to the old abandoned sewer gate! Because there's a chance that Félix might be there!" Beltran panicked as he ran over to a crate in the room. He pulled off the blanket, and saw that the crate was still intact.
"Beltran my friend? What's in the box?" Kelly asked curiously as she approached the box in the room with her friends walking behind her.
"In here I have some stun grenades and smoke grenades! Tomada, you're going to the sewer gate to get them out of there! I have a feeling that Félix might have found them! Jameson, Kelly, Sorrel! We are going to the airport to prepare an ambush in case Félix does show up!"
"Why the airport? Why not somewhere a little more…spooky or something?" Sorrel asked as she got tossed a couple of stun grenades. As well as throwing a couple to Tomada.
"Because you aren't going to be the ones ambushing them! It's going to be me!" Beltran replied as he got out of another crate, some sort of assassin hood. "Ooooh Lord! God I missed wearing this!"
"Wait…why are you doing this alone?" Jameson asked curiously as he placed a wing on his shoulder.
"Trust me Jameson, I've been doing this assassin gig all my life! This is the only life I know!" The white dove replied, as he put on his old hood and took the grenades and throwing knives out. "Okay falcon boy! Head to the sewer gate that's north west from here! Keep flying until you see a tall building that looks like a cone! Then keep heading straight! As for the rest of you…follow me!"
Tomada nodded his head and immediately flew out of the door to get to where he needed to go to save his friends.
As Beltran lead them out of the room, Jameson rapped him on the shoulder and he spun around to face him. "So you are the one who's going to ambush Félix…what are we going to do?"
He smiled sadly at his friend and placed a comforting wing on his shoulder.
"You are gonna wait by the plane that is going to take you back to Rio! As for my family…they are going to stall the plane!" Beltran replied as he quickly clapped his wings together to get his friends to hurry up. "Come on! Go! Go! Go! Let's not waste any more time!"
Meanwhile…With Tomada…
The large falcon burst out of the room at a fast pace, and he immediately flew out of the hole in the roof. Following the directions that Beltran just gave him.
"Okay, the plane back to Rio is in about two hours! So I'm going to need to go as fast as I can to get to that sewer gate!" Tomada thought you himself, as he vigorously flapped his wings to pick up some much needed speed to get to where he wanted to go.
As he was flying to the sewer, a group of birds spotted him flying past. And they too were a little curious as to why a falcon was flying so fast down the streets of Madrid.
So they decided to follow him to see where he was going.
"Hey dude? Isn't that the guy who's married to that fine piece of ass?" One of the birds spoke as they followed Tomada just behind. "I think that is him Juan!"
"Juan?" Tomada heard a voice from behind him, that revealed to be the same group of canaries from earlier. "Do you guys mind? I'm trying to save my friends here!"
"Ohhh what a shame! Did you and your lady get into a fight?" Jese mocked him as he flew right besides him.
"No! She is…actually…she's the one that I'm saving!" Tomada thought to himself as he was trying to use a mind trick to persuade these guys to help him save his friends.
"Oh really? So…you are trying to save your wife from any harm?"
"Yes! But I need to find some building that looks like a cone? Do you guys know where this building is?" Tomada laughed until his mind as he continued to act like he was being normal.
Juan and Jese thought you themselves as they continued to fly in the same direction as him. The two of them formed evil smirks and then proceeded to offer him a deal.
"Yeah we know where it is! But if we do this for you, we get to kiss your wife on the beak! Do we have a deal?" Juan offered as he caught up to Tomada's pace.
"Deal! Now, take me to the building where the sewer gate is!" Tomada agreed to this fake deal. Because he was planning to double cross them when they get there. But they didn't know that!
"Great! Follow us falcon amigo!" Juan beamed as the five canaries took the lead, and Tomada flew just behind them.
"Great…they have no idea that this is all a trick!" He thought to himself as he was flying faster. Because time was of the essence, to get back on the plane back to Rio!
Back To Jameson, Sorrel, Kelly And Beltran…
The male dove did exactly what he was going to do. He set up some sections on the roof of the airport, just a few metres away from the plane that was already getting fuelled up for the journey back to Brazil.
He placed three separate sections on the front, further back, and back of the roof. With stun grenades and weapons that he would use to slow the enemy down.
He was carefully planning each detail with the upmost importance! However his family were currently waiting in the wings to do something to distract the workers.
"So…if your family don't know that you are an assassin? Then how did you get them to distract the pilot and workers to stall the plane taking off?" Jameson asked curiously as he picked up his baseball bat and smacked it in his wing.
"Have you ever heard of persuasion? My family can be very persuasive at times! Plus I did say that we were going to stall the plane so that you guys can get home on time!" Beltran replied as he finished preparing the three sections. "There! All ready and raring for action! Now we can rest!"
"Beltran…if I may?" Kelly asked her dove friend with a warm smile.
"What's on your mind Kelly?"
"Why don't you and your family come with us? You'd be much happier living in your own space again? Plus…you could live with your daughter again?"
"Ahhhh…it's a nice offer miss Kelly! But I'm pretty happy where I am! Plus..If I'm going to be spieling Félix down, I need to stick around to keep him busy!" Britten's replied as he sat down on the roof and started massaging his talons.
"Hey? What's that?" Jameson asked as he pointed to what looked like a note on the roof next to Beltran.
"Huh…this? It's ugh…it's a note that Leandro left for his son! You know? Before his death!"
"Wait…was…was RDJ alive when his dad was in Madrid?"
"Of course he was! You don't think he spent his whole life in Rio do you?"
"Hmmm good point!" Sorrel asked as she started tapping her talons on the roof.
Beltran smiled at the blue spix's male, and he took the note in his wing and passed it to her, making her widen her eyes in surprise.
"What are you doing?"
"I want you to give this note to RDJ! But promise me something?" Beltran seriously asked her as he placed the note in her wing.
"Sure?" She asked her seriously, as she arched a nervous eyebrow.
"He has to read it when he's alone! Nobody else should know about the secret!"
"What secret?"
"I've already said too much! Now…start preparing for action!" Beltran beamed as he flew to another section, leaving a very confused Sorrel alone.
Back To Tomada…
Tomada continued to follow the gullible five canaries to the building that was shaped like a cone.
"Come on guys! Are we nearly there?" The falcon moaned in annoyance as he got tired of this stupid journey.
"Relax falcon boy! We are here now!" Juan responded happily as they approached the sewer gate that Beltran explained.
"Excellent! Thank you for leading me here!" Tomada responded happily with a smile as the six of them landed just outside.
"Yep! Now…time for you to fulfil the end of your deal!" Jese beamed maliciously as he started rubbing his wingtips together.
"Yeah…I actually lied about that!" Tomada chuckled evilly as he picked up the canary by the head and growled at him. "You really think I'd let you kiss my Sorrel? You are beyond mistaken!"
"But…But…you said…we were going to save her?" He stuttered in fear as he gazed into his eyes that were shooting him into his very soul.
"Yeah well…she's not in any danger! In fact, she's somewhere safe for now with my family!" Tomada angrily growled as he threw him into Juan, making his friends scream and fly away in fear. "STAY AWAY FROM MY WIFE!"
"Okay! Okay! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Jese screamed as he too flapped his wings and followed his friends flying away.
Juan just took one look at Tomada and quivered in fear, before he too joined the other startled males.
Tomada watched them leave like they were flying away from Godzilla attacking a city, and it made him chuckle in amusement.
"Yeah, nobody messes with my wife!" Tomada spoke as he turned around and looked down the sewer gate. "Okay…let's save my friends!"
Okay my friends! We are nearly at the end of this spin off! We now know that Beltran was an assassin, and he fought alongside Leandro in his younger years! He also had a note that he was going to give to RDJ from his father? But why does he have a note from RDJ's dad? I guess you will have to find the answer to that in the future sequel! So I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, because in the next one…it will be a bit emotional! So you have been warned! I'll see you all soon!
