Third Person's POV
"You really think those losers saw what you had thrown?" Mindy asked her cousin. "Definitely!" Mandy responded, letting out a hyena-like laugh. Mindy, Caitlin and Dominique joined her in laughter a few moments later.
A frown appeared on Angus Chase's face. While Gabriella, Stella and Carmen looked rather scared, he wasn't fazed at all by four female delinquents.
That was what they were in his opinion anyway. Four crazy bitches, who wanted to get their hands on his niece through him. He wished he could do something not to let Lilette fall into an obvious trap… Except that he couldn't do anything with his hands tied.
"You sick fucks are going to regret this. No wonder my niece hates your arses." The man growled out. Three women quickly looked at him as if he had said something sacrilegious.
They all thought it was stupid of him to do so to their captors… And yet they were surprised he did it, since the rest of them were scared.
"Did you say something?!" Mandy turned her head and screeched at Angus. In doing so, she stopped the vehicle in the middle of the road. "Damn well, I did." He nodded with a glare. "Just wait until we get out, and then you'll…" "That won't happen, since we need your niece and other three spies to come rescue you!" Dominique cut him off with a smug smile while Mandy turned her head back to continue driving.
"Why are you doing this?!" Stella finally shouted in panic. "Because those spies are evil that must be eradicated." Mindy said matter-of-factly. "All of the spies must be eradicated, starting with them." Mandy corrected her, flashing an evil smile to four adults.
Three women cowered next to each other in fear. Angus, on the other hand, blew a raspberry at her. "You fucking little high school delinquents…" He growled in anger. "Little? It's your niece who's the little one, you know, considering her… Dwarf height." Caitlin pointed out.
At that moment, Angus snapped. Gabriella, Carmen and Stella yelped in surprise as he semi-stood up and lunged at Caitlin with his tied hands. He managed to get hold of one of her black curls. Mindy, Caitlin and Dominique all but screamed as he began pulling the girl by her hair. "Don't you dare insult my niece like that!"
That was when Mandy stopped the van once again. She smacked Angus right in face with her elbow. Letting go of Caitlin's hair, he fell back, right on top of Stella. By now, his nose was bleeding.
"Shut your mouth, old man, or you'll get more!" Mandy warned. Angus glared back but decided to stay quiet since his nose hurt.
At that moment, Gabriella ripped a part of her shirt with her tied hands and gave it to him. "Use it to stop the bleeding." She said quietly. The man thanked her and took the cloth.
Lily's POV
"There's got to be something around here that could lead us to Mandy…" Clover trailed off.
Right now, we were walking down the road where Mandy had driven away. We were trying to find some sort of a clue to where she had taken their mothers and Uncle. So far, no luck though.
As soon as we lost the van out of our sight, we decided to just get on with this immediately. Even though they all forbade us from spying, even though Dad also made me promise not to… I couldn't help it. Uncle was in trouble.
Besides… It wasn't even brought into question whether we would continue spying or not. It was like a rule between four of us. Spying was something we were born to do, and we weren't going to listen when someone needed our help…
"You mean something like that?" I turned my head to see Alex lifting up some sort of a flyer. My eyebrows furrowed as I looked at it better. It appeared to be something for skiing… Then my eyes landed on what was written in the bottom part. "Sugar Flake Ski Resort…" I read aloud.
"That's it!" Clover suddenly took the flyer out of Alex's hands. "That's got to be where Mandy's headed! Her parents just built her a new chalet there!" She explained. "Makes me wonder why, considering the highest grade she got recently that wasn't F is C…" I rolled my eyes.
Sam looked at me. "Method of mental encouragement, see?" She pointed out. "Point taken." I shook my head in disbelief.
Uncle and Mother would definitely never build me a chalet if the best grade I could get was C… I swear, if Mandy didn't flunk high school before graduation… Hopefully she could find a good job, because hardly any university would accept her with such grades. Harsh? Yes. But it was also the truth. That was, if she were still alive after I got my hands on her for what she had just done…
"I remember. She's been bragging about it for a while, trying to make everyone jealous." Alex spoke up. "As loudly as her piehole could." I added as memories of Mandy's terrible bragging rushed back into my mind. "It totally worked on me…" Clover smiled sheepishly. "If that's true, then why would she leave this behind? It will lead us right to her!" Sam frowned.
A pretty reasonable point… Unless she dropped it by accident. Anything was possible when we talked about Mandy.
"She dropped it?" I suggested. "On purpose, more like it. She might be trying to set us up." The redhead looked up at me. "Mandy is dumb, what kind of trap could she possibly lead us into?" I raised an eyebrow. "She also happens to be a Spy hunter due to SUDS." She reminded. "Oh, yeah…" I agreed with a nod.
Even though I wished that thing just messed up her brain even further, Sam had a point. She kidnapped Uncle and their mothers. Who knew what she could come up with next?
"We'd better be careful." "In that case, maybe we should call in reinforcements." Alex suggested. "And I know just the semi-balding man for the job!" Clover took out her phone with a smile. I brightened up immediately at those words. In fact, a surge of hope washed over me.
Dad said he'd still have my back, and told me to call him if I needed help… He'd surely come to help, especially since Uncle Angus was in trouble too!
"Dad gave you his phone number?!" I asked the blonde girl excitedly. The moment I said that, Clover looked at me as if she had just been hit by lightning. "Unfortunately, not yet." She let out a sigh. "Talk about being stingy with digits…" Alex growled in annoyance while Sam stared at us blankly. I simply face palmed.
And here I hoped they had it… But wait. I had something better than a fucking phone number. I still had my X-Powder with me!
"Forget about that. I have my X-Powder back home." I spoke up. All three of them gaped at me. "How?" They chorused in astonishment. "After my argument with Uncle, I talked to Dad through it. He told me to keep it hidden, and use it to call him or if I needed help." I explained briefly. "Then let's go get it!" Clover exclaimed. "Yes. We can spend the night there, and then explain everything to him in the morning." I nodded.
"Sounds good. We have to be rested if we want to save our mums and your uncle." Sam agreed. "Plus, I guess you have to charge your X-Powder first…" She then added. I nodded in agreement. "Let's get going then."
Third Person's POV
It was half past 8 AM at Downtown LA. People were walking down the street, or hurrying to work.
One person in particular, though, wasn't having much luck at the moment.
Jerry had just tried to recruit two young men into WOOHP to no avail. It was obvious they didn't possess the spy gene at all.
"Finding replacements for some of my best agents will be harder than I thought…" He trailed off with a sigh. He then put his wallet in pocket of his suit.
At that moment, something crashed into him. Quite literally. The thing (Jerry wasn't sure what it was, nor could he make it out at that moment) sent him flying to the ground with a yelp. "What on Earth…" He started before something hard landed on his head. He grabbed it immediately with his hand and a groan.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Mister!" A young voice spoke up. Then, Jerry could feel something getting off him. Judging by that voice, he could guess it was a person. That person then took something hard off his head.
After shaking his head, his vision finally came back. Sitting up, Jerry looked up to see… A boy. And a quite small one at that. It looked like he was no more than 10 years old. The boy had tan skin, green eyes, and black hair. He wore blue jacket, yellow shirt, and pants. A skateboard was in his right hand. The thing that had fallen on his head, Jerry presumed.
"Are you alright?!" The boy asked in panic. "You have no need to worry. I'm fine." The man quickly stood up and dusted off his suit. He then quickly started walking away, leaving the boy by himself at the street.
The child let out a groan. "Leave it to me to mess things up…" "What did you do now, little bro?" An older-looking boy walked up to him. "I saw what happened. Tony hit with his skateboard right into an older-looking man." Another boy joined them with a book in one hand and Rubik's cube in another one. "Don't tell it to mum!" The youngest boy looked at the older ones pleadingly.
"Of course we won't. You could have at least apologized though…" The one with the Rubik's cube spoke up. "Yeah, yeah, I know!" The boy with the skateboard spoke up.
That when he noticed something. There was an object at the ground, right where the man had fallen. The black-haired boy picked it up curiously. "Tony, Mum told you not to pick up strange things, much less from the ground!" The boy with the book wrinkled his nose a bit in disgust. "What is it anyway?" The oldest one spoke up, ignoring him.
"It looks like a wallet…" The boy named Tony spoke up. Observing it better, he noticed an initial 'J'. He was convinced it belonged to the man he had just knocked over…
"We need to find that man. This is his." "Are you sure about that?" The oldest boy rubbed the back of his head. "Yes!" "Fine. Just let me call Megan to tell Mum we'll be home late." The one with the book took out his phone.
Lily's POV
"Why isn't he answering?!" Clover demanded in disbelief once I tried to call Dad for the fourth goddamn time. "I wish I knew." I growled in frustration.
It wasn't like him not to answer immediately… Where the hell was he?!
"It's obviously useless. We'll have to go save our mums and your uncle ourselves." Sam stood up from my bed with hands on her hips. "But Dad could still help!" I quickly responded. "With not responding to your calls? Hardly." Clover pointed out what I knew was obvious.
The girls obviously had a point… But I still wanted to try to reach him. How could I solve this problem?
Only if someone tried calling him instead while we rushed to save our loved ones… There was only one person I trusted enough to help me, and who was partially informed about everything… Allison.
I doubted she'd want to help me though. I was the last person she wanted to see right now…
"Something is on your mind?" Sam's voice broke my train of thoughts. I looked up to see her observing me. "It's nothing." I quickly tried to brush it off. "You were clearly thinking about something, so say it." She urged.
I let out a sigh. "I just thought that, maybe we could leave the X-Powder to Allison. Then she could try to reach Dad while we go to save them." I spoke up. "I know she would never agree to it though…" "That's not a bad idea." Sam mused. "Worth a try." Clover and Alex chorused in agreement. "But she's still mad. Rightfully so." I reminded.
"She'll help us if you ask." The latter replied. "How can you be so sure?" I frowned. "You've been friends since forever, Lily! Friends do get angry, but real ones will always help you when in trouble." The redhead looked at me. I looked at all of them for a few seconds.
It was true Allison and I've known each other since we were kids… But people could always change. She obviously saw something change in me, hence why she was rightfully mad. I didn't believe she'd want to help us so easily… I had to try though. It was our best chance of reaching Dad and doing something productive at the same time.
"Fine. Let's get going." I stood up, dusting off my dark magenta short-sleeved shirt and pants. "You're not going to call her with your mobile?" Clover questioned in surprise. I shook my head. "She won't answer it. That's how she is. When she's mad, she'll try ignore any sort of contact with that person. The best thing would be to us to go straight up to her house." "You know where it is?" Alex asked. "I do." I nodded.
Before we were about to exit though, I took one thing from under my bed.
"How come you managed to keep your Jetpack Backpack?" Alex looked at me wide-eyed. "You're technically not a WOOHP employee anymore?" Sam asked. "I'm not." I shook my head in confirmation. "Jerry had to confiscate our things. How come he didn't confiscate your Backpack?" Clover was a bit confused. "My guess is it slipped his mind I still had this." I shrugged.
I then walked outside the room with girls right after me.
"This is her house?" Sam looked at me. "Yup." I nodded.
Allison's house wasn't far from mine at all though. It was about twenty minutes away by walking. The girls and I managed to get there rather quickly, and right now, were staring at the front door.
Wasting no time, I quickly walked up to the door and knocked on it. After a few seconds, the door opened. A twelve-year-old curly redhead with brown eyes was looking at me in surprise.
"Lily!" She squealed and immediately pulled me into a hug. "It's so good to see you again, Christy." I hugged the girl back with a small smile. "I was wondering when you'd come to see us again, it's been a while!" She exclaimed. "Sorry… I've been a bit busy recently." I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly.
"That's Allison's sister?" Clover walked up to us curiously. "She is." I confirmed. "You're Clover?" Christy suddenly looked up at the blonde. "That's me." The girl smiled. "So nice to finally meet you!" She pulled the girl into a hug, just as Sam and Alex walked up to us as well.
The little girl then looked up at them. "Alex and Sam?" She presumed. "How do you know all our names?" Alex asked a bit perplexed. "Allison told me about you." "Where's your sister, Christy?" I then spoke up.
A frown briefly appeared on the girl's face. "She's in her room… She isn't talking to me much nowadays." "Can you please come get her?" I asked. "Yeah!" She nodded and ran upstairs.
Five minutes, she came down, with Allison right behind her. The girl's green eyes flashed with anger the moment she saw my face. "What do you want?!" She screeched furiously, making Christy jump away from her in fear and four of us flinch at her tone.
Yeah, she was still pissed. This was a really bad idea…
"Allison, we need to talk." I spoke up firmly. She looked at me, the girls, and then her sister. "Christy, go play with your toys." "But why…" "This is not for young kids like you." "But…" "AWA' N BILE YER HEID!" Allison finally shouted at Christy in Scottish. Her younger sister yelped and quickly ran upstairs.
I knew what that meant very well. Allison used that sentence many times when she was mad. It meant 'get lost'…
Finally, Allison looked up at me. "Talk. You have three minutes." She ordered in an icy tone. "Allison…" I let out a deep breath. "I know you're mad, and don't want to see me again, but I need your help. You see, Uncle…" "Why would I help you after all the shit you had done to me?!" She cut me off with a growl.
"Mandy, Mindy, Caitlin and Dominique have become Spy Hunters, and they tried to get rid of four of us. It's because of a substance named SUDS that found their way into jacuzzi… It turns people into spy hunters." I quickly responded, ignoring her question.
I could feel the girls' eyes on me. Allison, on the other hand, raised an eyebrow. "Since they couldn't get rid of us, they decided to take their mothers," I waved in the girls' direction. "And Uncle Angus as prisoners. We were unable to save them, but we might have an idea where Mandy has taken them. It's most probably her Sugar Flake Ski chalet."
By now, I could see Allison's mouth opening a bit out of shock.
"We tried to call Dad for help, but he hasn't been answering to us since this morning. We've got no more time to waste either…" "And why exactly would you need my help?" She cut me off with a frown. "We need someone to keep trying to reach Dad while we go to save them. Who knows what Mandy could be doing to them at this moment…"
The Scottish girl looked at me angrily. "Let me get this straight. First you pull that shit behind my back for all this time, and now you expect me to help you?! You wee, doaty…" She started with insults, and I prepared for being kicked out of the house…
"You're really acting stupid." Sam suddenly walked up to both of us. Allison's angry green eyes darted to Sam's equally angry green ones. "You dare to tell me that because…? Say it." She growled. "You're treating Lily as if she committed the most heinous crime out there, when what she did was to protect you!" Sam growled back.
There were very few times I saw Sam that angry. She never got mad that easily. She was a composed girl, who would rather solve her problems with logic, not emotions. I guessed this was the straw that broke the camel's back…
"Protect me?! Keeping secrets from your best friend is protection?!" Allison retorted. "Do you realize how big secret that is? We fight a load of international villains. We're huge targets out there every day! If people close to us knew our identity, who knows what they would do to them to harm us!" Sam tried to reason with the Scottish girl.
"That's exactly why Uncle Angus and their mothers were taken." I added with a frown.
Allison looked at Sam, and then me. Her eyes then landed on Clover and Alex before turning back to me.
"You're going to save Angus immediately?" She asked. "With, or without your help." I nodded firmly. "How do you want me to reach your father?"
A wave of relief washed over me immediately. "Thank you, Allison, I…" "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm doing this only for Angus." She cut me off icily.
I felt a bit disappointed once I heard that. She did agree to help us though… That would have to do for now.
I took out my X-Powder. "This is a device we use for communication with Dad. This button is used for calling him." I pointed at the button once I opened the device. "Once you get in contact with him, explain everything, and tell him we need help." Allison looked at the X-Powder, and then at me with a nod.
"We need to get going then." Clover walked up to us. "Yeah. Just wait a moment." I took the X-Powder and quickly walked to the nearest bathroom. I quickly pressed the button to change into my suit.
I could have done that in front of them too, but I didn't want to shock Allison any further…
I then took long jacket I've been carrying with me and put it on. It would hide my suit until we were forced to go into action.
Then I finally joined the girls. I gave the X-Powder to Allison. "Thank you so much… It means more to me than you can imagine." I grabbed both of her hands. She frowned at me, staying quiet. I let out a sigh, but let go of her hands, took my Backpack and followed the girls outside.
At that moment, Sam stopped me. "What is it?" I gave her a puzzled look. She looked at me from head to toe for a few seconds. "Nothing. Sorry, it looked to me like your head was closer to Allison's neck than usual." She explained. "Probably your imagination." I commented.
We then ran off to catch up with Alex and Clover.
Third Person's POV
"I don't understand… He should be around here! That's where I saw him!" The small boy exclaimed in disbelief. "Maybe he's still around somewhere." A girl with black hair, tan skin and green eyes suggested.
She insisted to join her siblings the moment they told her about their problem. Even though her fraternal twin brother said they'd be quicker without her, she still ignored his words. Megan Clark was a stubborn human being, her twin brother Marc had to say. When she wanted something, she wouldn't give up until she got it.
"Excuse me." Their oldest brother walked up to a random person. "Have you seen a semi-balding man dressed in suit pass somewhere around here?" The man with glasses looked at the auburn-haired boy. "Why, yes. He's walking around the street not too far away."
"Which street?" The girl joined them. "Go straight, and then turn right at first traffic lights." "Thank you!" All four of them exclaimed and started running in that direction.
"Next time, Tony, do be more careful." His older brother scolded. "I know, Megan told me Mum said that too at least ten times!" The small boy complained.
Right now, the siblings were walking down the street. They had no luck finding the man so far.
"That man said he should be around…" The middle boy trailed off. "You mean, if he's still even in this street." The auburn-haired one noted.
Just as he said that, two guys ran past them shouting 'crazy old man'. The four of them were looking at their disappearing figures in both surprise and slight confusion. "I think we found your victim, Tony." The auburn-haired boy put a hand on his youngest brother's shoulder.
Before he could tell off his brother for being annoying, their sister stopped them. "They came running from that direction." She pointed. They ran down the street. Finally, the youngest boy could see the man he had knocked over.
The man was looking around, apparently going through pockets of his suit.
Meanwhile, Jerry had yet another unsuccessful attempt to recruit some people into WOOHP. It seemed like he had to look for them in some other way. That wasn't his only problem. He had lost his wallet, and he had no idea where it could be.
"Excuse me, Mister," A voice made him look up. Four children were walking right towards him. All of them seemed to be no younger than twelve, maybe thirteen.
He recognized the first one, the one that knocked him over with his skateboard. The second child was a boy with light brown hair, light skin, and hazel eyes. He wore short-sleeved blue hoodie and dark green pants. A Rubik's cube was in his one hand, with a book in another.
The third boy seemed to be the oldest, judging by his height. He had auburn, flat top-styled hair, light skin and pale blue eyes. He wore red short-sleeved shirt and burgundy pants. The only girl among them had tan skin, green eyes and black hair, like the smallest boy. She wore short-sleeved pink hoodie and pink skirt with white leggings.
"We believe this belongs to you." The boy with the Rubik's cube spoke up, just as the one with skateboard offered him something.
Jerry's eyes landed on the object in his hands. "My wallet…" He gasped in surprise and took it from the boy. "Thank you for finding it." "Sorry for knocking you over." The boy apologized sheepishly. "Yeah, Tony didn't mean it. He can just be clumsy sometimes." The girl spoke up.
"It's alright. You four are friends, I presume?" Jerry asked while turning the wallet back to sound mode (he didn't remember ever turning it off). "Ah, no." The boy let out a laugh while setting his Rubik's cube into original state. "We're siblings. The tallest one is Lee," He pointed at the auburn-haired boy. "That's Megan," He then pointed at the girl. "The one that knocked you over is Tony, and I'm Marc."
"And what's your name, Mister?" The boy introduced as Tony asked. "Jerry Lewis." The man quickly introduced himself as well. "You live here?" He then asked. "Actually, we're moving away soon. It's…"
Sudden ringing cut him off. Jerry looked up at his wallet. "Is ringing coming from your wallet?" Marc questioned curiously. A quite perceptive kid, the man had to note. "No, it's my mobile phone. Thank you for finding my wallet, but I've got to answer to the call. Cheerio!" Jerry quickly greeted and walked away, leaving four kids rather stunned.
The moment he was alone in an alley, the man quickly opened the wallet. "Lily, I hope everything is…" He then stopped. The person on the screen was definitely not his daughter. It was a girl with bright green eyes and a frown on her face.
"You're not Lily." Jerry spoke up. "Obviously." Allison rolled her eyes. "You're her friend Allison." He remembered. "Oh, so Lilette actually mentioned me?" The Scottish girl raised an eyebrow.
By now, Jerry definitely understood where Lily had picked her habit of talking angrily in Scottish. During those moments, her accent was as noticeable as the girl's.
"Why do you have her X-Powder? Where is she?" He asked, hoping that nothing bad happened during those few days they hadn't been in contact. "Lilette asked me for help. Since she was unable to reach you, she asked me to do so instead."
Jerry frowned and quickly checked the wallet's history call. There were eight missed calls together…
"I had an incident, and I lost my wallet. Its sound got turned off in process. Someone found it and gave it back to me. It's only now that I'm seeing all those calls." He explained, making Allison sigh. "That explains it, I guess…" "Why did Lily try to reach me? Did something happen?" "Well…"
Suddenly, the connection was lost immediately. "Allison, can you hear me?!" Jerry shouted into the wallet, only to be met with empty screen. "Drat!" He growled.
"DAMN IT!" Allison screamed in annoyance. "LILETTE, WHY DIDN'T YOU BOTHER TO FUCKING CHARGE YOUR STUPID THING?!" She tried to turn the X-Powder on again to no avail. The battery was dead.
"Looks like I'll have to improvise." The blonde let out a sigh while pushing one of curls out of her face. She took out her mobile phone. Then she took out its battery. "Let's hope my phone's battery is similar to hers…" She trailed off and quickly took out the device's battery.
Thankfully, it was. Wasting no time, Allison put her phone's battery into device and turned it on. After a few moments, the device was working once again. She quickly pressed the button Lilette had instructed her to.
The man's hologram appeared once again. "I'm sorry, the battery was dead, so I had to switch it with another one." She quickly explained. Jerry sighed in relief. "What happened?" He then asked seriously.
"I'm not really sure how all this works… Your organization is still a shocking revelation for me… But I'll try to explain it the best I can." Allison spoke up. The man nodded in understanding.
"Apparently, Mandy, her cousin, and two friends became obsessed with getting rid of spies because of something called SUDS. It fell into their jacuzzi. They tried to get rid of girls unsuccessfully. Since they couldn't do it, they kidnapped mothers of Sam, Alex and Clover, and Angus too. They were taken to Mandy's Sugar Flake Ski chalet. The girls are asking for your help."
By now, Jerry's face was noticeably paler than usual. "Oh my…" He trailed off. "I've got to help them. Thank you for telling me everything. I've got to get going." He was about to hang up, when…
"Wait!" Allison exclaimed. The man looked at her. "I want to come too." She said. "You can't. It's too dangerous." He shook his head. "The girls went to fight! I want to help!" The blonde retorted. "Only WOOHP agents can go. You're not one, and it's going to be…" "I don't give a fuck whether I'm an agent or not." She cut him off. "Angus is in trouble, I owe it to him at least!"
Quite honestly, Allison didn't know what came over her. She didn't understand why she was so willing to go and help. She figured they could save Angus and others too… Yet she couldn't stop thinking about him and one another person… Lilette. Why? She had no idea. She had every right to hate the girl, so why was she so willing to go?! Why did she even agree to help her?!
"I've told you, it's too…" "If you keep telling me that, I'll keep insisting. My advice is, just let me go with you. The less we argue, the sooner we'll be able to help." Allison declared firmly.
Jerry kept looking at the girl. Her green eyes showed pure determination, which was something he often saw with both Lily and Angus… He knew she would never give in to his demands. His experience with those two told him so.
'Lily really knows how to pick good friends…' He thought to himself. "Fine then. Do you know the way to WOOHP?" "I do." Allison nodded.
Lily's POV
After we had talked to Allison, Alex came up with the idea for us to get substitutes for gadgets. She led us to a hardware store where we found some things that could come in handy. The girls even managed to find substitutes for their suits. I took one too and put it in my backpack, just in case I needed it.
The ride to Sugar Flake Ski Resort didn't take long. There were a lot of chalets. It was the perfect vibe of place for rich people. No way ordinary people could afford themselves such luxurious villas…
"There are so many of them… How can we know which one is Mandy's?" Alex asked while looking through the window. That was when I noticed a big chalet. Its windows were forming letter 'M'. If that wasn't Mandy's doing…
"Look." I pointed at the windows. "Definitely Mandy's. That 'M' is not for modesty." Clover noted. "Please. Like Mandy knows what modesty is, or how to spell it." I frowned. "Fair enough." The blonde let out a laugh.
Once we were in front of the chalet, we got out of the car. "Who knows where she could have taken them?" Alex wondered. "Maybe we should split up and check different areas of the chalet." Sam suggested. I opened my mouth, about to agree…
When I heard some sort of muffled shouting. "Did you hear that?" I asked the girls. "Hear what?" Clover asked. "Just listen." I motioned with my hand for them to listen more carefully. "That sounds like them!" Sam's eyes widened. "But where could Mandy be keeping them?" Alex asked aloud before we started running towards the source of the voices (after the girls' failed attempt of using tennis rackets under feet for it).
A cable car was in my sight by now. Shouting was definitely coming from there…
When wind blew past us, I could see them. Gabriella, Carmen and Stella were inside, gagged and panicked! "There they are!" I pointed.
"Mum!" Alex shouted in panic. "How did they get up there?!" Clover demanded. "The better question is… How are we going to get them down?" Sam reminded. "Maybe we can use this hose to tie it around the cable, and then climb in." The blonde took the thing out of her backpack.
"Is it smart for all of us to get in there?" I suddenly asked. "What do you mean? We have to save them!" Clover frowned. "No, she has a point. This stinks like a trap. We have to tread carefully." Sam agreed with me. "But we have to do something!" Alex said.
I looked at my Jetpack Backpack for a moment, and then at Sam who nodded. "I still have my backpack. Maybe I could fly up there, and slowly get them out one by one." I suggested. "Not a bad idea…" Clover had to agree. Alex then offered me a plumber to open the door.
Activating my backpack, I flew up towards the cable car. Putting the plumber on the door, I then pulled it to the side. The door opened in process. I quickly flew in.
However, that was when I noticed. Uncle Angus wasn't in here!
"Where's my uncle?!" I asked the women in panic while untying gags around their faces and ropes around their wrists. "That girl Mandy took him somewhere else." Gabriella frowned at me. My heart began racing.
Who knew what she could be doing to my uncle at this very moment…
That was when I noticed all three women glaring at me. "Now I'll get out each of you one by one." I explained the plan to them. Their glares became even bigger at my words. "Is there a problem?" I asked a bit puzzled.
"Oh, there is." Stella spoke up angrily. "We leave our daughters, and then you go, already influencing them to go back to spying, the exact same thing we had strictly forbidden!" Gabriella pointed a finger at me accusingly.
I couldn't. I really couldn't. I couldn't believe what those women were telling me… As much as I loved girls… How could their mothers be so unbearable and unpleasant?! My dislike for mothers in general grew even more every minute…
"Mum, leave Lily out of this!" I could hear Sam's voice. "With all due respect, Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Ewing, Mrs. Vazquez…." I started as calmly as I could. "Your daughters and I came rushing to save your lives as fast as we could, and the only thing that's on your mind is espionage?" I asked icily. "If you hadn't influenced them, this wouldn't have happened." Carmen retorted.
"So me trying to save your arses is for nothing?" I glared. "Don't you dare speak to me like that…" "Don't you dare treat me like some sort of abomination just because your daughters like something that you don't!" I threatened with a growl and raised my fist.
I really didn't want to argue with their mothers, or fight… But I couldn't take it anymore. I've had it enough of them treating me like shit and accusing me of being a 'bad influence' on them. The only reason I was trying to contain myself was because those were mothers of my best friends.
"Mum, that's enough!" I could hear Clover shouting from down there. "What you're doing is not fair!" Alex shouted too.
"Let's just get you out of here." I let out a growl and grabbed Gabriella by her arms. I was getting ready to fly out with her…
'Don't even think about getting those mums out, Lily!" Mandy's voice echoed through a speaker in the cable car. I looked up at it with a frown. "Who's going to stop me? You?" I growled. "No, but maybe this will! If you look at the roof, you'll see what I'm talking about." After that, she let out her well-known hyena laugh.
I quickly looked up at where Mandy told me to. At that moment, I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I wanted this to be a terrible nightmare…
Mandy was holding Uncle Angus at knifepoint at the roof. The knife in her right hand was pointed straight towards his throat… Uncle himself was completely gagged.
"Mandy… You fucking bitch…." I let out a quiet growl. "Unless you want your uncle to die, be a good girl and close the door." I looked at the women who were staring at me in shock. I could tell they were wondering whether I would listen to Mandy or not.
I didn't want to… But could I really do that to my uncle? He's been through so much shit because of me, and now his life was being threatened… Seeing him get hurt, or even worse, killed, was the last thing I ever wanted. I would never be alright with it for the rest of my life…
I couldn't. I wouldn't disobey Mandy. I had to keep my uncle safe, I owed it to him!
"I'm sorry, girls." I said quietly and quickly went for the door. "Lily, what are you doing?!" I could hear the girls screaming. But then, something even worse happened.
Mindy, Caitlin and Dominique came on their snowmobiles. Before I could see what else was happening, the cable car suddenly started going at very fast speed. "Glad to see you were cooperative, Lily! Have a nice journey to Hell!" Mandy let out a laugh and then hung up.
All four of us started screaming. "We need to get out of here!" I shouted. "There's no way out of here!" Stella retorted. "You trapped us in, remember?" Gabriella reminded. "She's threatening my uncle's life, what else could I have done?!" I retorted.
I was so stupid for falling for her trick… But at that moment, it felt like the only thing I could do!
I kicked the window open. The glass fell down, right towards the awaiting snow. I then quickly started looking through my backpack. Unfortunately, my spare suit was immediately blown away by wind. The rest of things I had was practically useless right now.
"We have no choice. We'll have to jump with my Jetpack Backpack." "Jump?! Are you crazy?!" Carmen shouted at me. At that moment, the cable car passed through another cable violently, making all of us fall to the floor. "Unless we jump, we'll fall down along with this thing. I think we have a better chance of surviving with this jetpack than all alone…" I explained with a frown.
Right then, the cable car passed through another cable even more violently. At that point the women screamed and ran to me. I kicked the rest of the door open. There was nothing separating us from the awaiting ground now…
On my mark, all of you grab either one of my arms or one of my legs." I instructed. The women quickly nodded. "Three… Two… One… NOW!" I shouted and activated my backpack. The girls quickly grabbed one of my arms and a leg. Then we jumped out.
Logically speaking, it should have worked. Jetpack Backpack could allow anyone to fly. However, reality was different. Once extra weight started pulling you down, there was no way you could fly. That was exactly what happened here.
All of us started falling towards the ground while screaming our lungs out. I closed my eyes, preparing for what was certainly our doom…
When I landed on something soft. I bounced back into the air, and fell back on something soft. Just as the women let go of me, I opened my eyes in shock. All of us were alive, and whole… And, right now, we were lying on what seemed to be an Inflatable Cushion.
But where did it come from?!
"Do you need some help?" I looked up to see Allison sliding down to us with a skateboard in her clothes. A small smile was on her face. I blinked at her. "The cushion… It was you?" She nodded with a bigger smile. "I'm so happy you're alright, Lily." She then pulled me into a tight hug.
"I'm so happy to see you here, Allison…" I hugged her back tightly with tears brimming in my eyes. I didn't know what I did to deserve such a good friend…
"Thank you for saving us, whoever you are." Gabriella said while standing up. Carmen and Stella thanked her too.
"You came here by yourself?" I then asked Allison in confusion. "Not quite… Your father's not too far behind." She winked. A huge amount of relief filled me once I heard those words.
That was when the girls came sliding down to us on remains of the cable car. They immediately hugged their mothers. However, they still seemed to be angry with them, much to my disbelief. They refused to say anything to them.
"What happened to Caitlin, Dominique and Mindy?" I asked once the girls pulled away, looking rather unhappy at their mothers' reactions. "We managed to get rid of them for a while." Sam explained. "We saw what happened," She then added once she saw my hesitant look. "And we saw what Mandy did to your uncle. If it were us, we would have probably done the same thing." I let out a sigh, and opened my mouth to say something…
Only to be cut off by Mandy's contemptible voice.
"Lily, what you did was cheating!" I quickly turned around to see her sliding down to us on her snowmobile. Uncle Angus was behind her, gagged and tied up. He was shouting something wide-eyed, except that I couldn't understand what because it came out muffled.
Once she was in front of us, she took Uncle and held him at knifepoint yet again.
"Either play by my rules… Or your uncle is really going to get it." She smiled smugly. "Why are you doing this?!" I demanded icily. "This is a payback for all the times you harmed me… Plus, your uncle was rather disobedient. He tried to escape so many times, that I decided to handle him myself. I also want to see you suffer." She said all that as if it was no big deal.
I looked directly into her purple eyes. There seemed to be no regret in them… That SUDS thing really made her even worse than she actually was.
"What should I do to make you free Uncle?" I questioned. "Come over here, and then we can talk." Mandy ordered. I was about to do so, only for Allison to grab my hand. "Lily, don't! It's a trap!" I let go of her hand. "I don't have much of a choice, do I? I'd rather die than see him getting killed." I responded coldly. "She's right. It may as well be another trap." Sam agreed. "I don't care."
I started walking forward, ignoring the girls telling me not to.
I came straight in front of Mandy. Uncle's eyes widened even more, and his muffled shouts became even louder.
"What can I give you in exchange for his freedom?" I tried to sound calm. Unfortunately, I could hear my voice trembling.
"Well, let's see…" Mandy started twirling her knife with a smirk. "Yeah," She suddenly let go of my uncle. "You can give me this!" That was when I felt my right side hurting.
Everyone's screams filled my head as I screamed in pain. Then I looked down, and finally realized what happened once I saw that same knife in my right side of body… She stabbed me.
I quickly took it out, only to let out another scream of pain and see blood on my right hand.
"You… You got what you wanted… Just let him go…" I said while trying to ignore how much it hurt. She was still holding my uncle captive… Then she took the knife out of my hands and prepared to obviously stab me once again…
When I heard a chopper above me. Mandy quickly looked up, so did the rest. I couldn't though… It hurt so much…
But then, I saw something even worse. Avalanche was coming right towards us.
"THE AVALANCHE IS COMING!" Sam shouted, pointing at it. The ladders quickly fell out of the chopper. Clover and Alex quickly started ushering all mothers towards the ladders. "Lily, come on!" Sam and Allison shouted to me.
I had to save my uncle. I couldn't stand seeing him as Mandy's prisoner anymore. I didn't care what it did to me. He just had to get the fuck out of here.
At that moment, I quickly lunged at Mandy, using all my strength to push her to the ground. I then started untying Uncle Angus' gag and ropes. "You've got to get out of here!" I told him frantically. "Not without you!" He shouted.
By now, avalanche was coming even closer. That was when I felt another stab in my right side… I screamed in even more pain.
"JUST GET OUT OF HERE!" I pushed Uncle towards the ladders, literally making him climb up. At that very moment, I saw Alex, Clover and Sam jumping out of the chopper. Then, avalanche completely blocked my view, and sent me down the mountain along with it.
Everything went black.
Third Person's POV
Gabriella, Stella and Carmen could only watch in horror as they saw the avalanche swallow their daughters. Allison couldn't utter a thing out of shock. Jerry, who was the one piloting the chopper, was staring at the avalanche in horror too.
Angus, however…
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" He shouted at Jerry, who could only stare back at him.
"LILY!" He then shouted. "LILY!" He shouted in the direction of the avalanche yet again.
And then… Once reality hit him, he broke down on the ground, sobbing.
That should be the end of part 2. I hope you liked changes that I made to it. Anyway, until next time!
