Mistake
Chapter Nine
I arrived at the airport a little before 1:00 P.M & was starving so I decided I would have a donut & coffee before I went to get my plane ticket.
I
sat down at a little table in the eating area & started reading the
information the doctor had given me on my mother. She was 24, which meant she
was 28 now. She had never been married & had 3 abortions. It said she had
given birth to children, but they weren't in Australia. It also said that she
had a job, but they couldn't say where. She lived in an apartment building in
Sidney so that's where I would go.
"
Can I help you mam?" " Yes I would like a ticket for Sidney Australia please."
I felt mature doing all this on my own. I bet Splinter would be proud of me. I
frowned. I had only been gone a couple of hours & I already missed him.
Alex, snap out of it. You're going to find your mother & you don't need the
guys because they're not your family anymore.
"
Mam I'm afraid we don't have tickets to Australia until Monday afternoon. Would
you like me to reserve you a ticket until then?" It looked like my trip had
ended. It was only Wednesday. I couldn't wait until Monday or I would be caught
for sure.
"
No, thanks anyway." I started to walk away, but I was stopped by a man in a
black leather jacket & really dark shades. He was incredibly hot &
sadly way out of my age limit.
"
So you wanna go to Sidney, huh? " Yes sir." Way to play it cool. " Now why
would a nice girl like you wanna go to Sidney for?" oh great I've been
discovered. I bet Casey sent him out our somethin to find me. " Um… vacation."
" Likely story. Well since you seem like such a sweet kid I'm gonna let you in
on a little secrete." Here it comes. I knew I was finished. " I happen to live
in Sidney & just so happens I have a plane of my own here in this airport.
How would you like to go with me instead." This was incredible luck. Maybe
someone was looking out for me after all. " Sure. When do we leave?" " In just
a few minutes. Let me go talk to some guys real quick & then I will meet
you outback by the planes?" " Ok."
I
started walking to the back when I thought I saw April, but it couldn't be
April, could it? The April look alike had her back to me & was at a Burger
King getting some coffee. She turned around & it was definitely April. I
started walking away trying to seem unsuspicious, but I failed. It wasn't long
before I heard…" Alex?! Oh my God I found you. Guy's I found her." I turned
around to see Casey & the guys walking over to me, but I started running at
lightning speed to get away.
"
Alex for Christ sake come back!" But I kept running. They were following me
& were gaining on me fast. I ran all the way down to one of the back doors
& shoved everyone out of my way to get out. When I was out of the building
I saw the guy that I met earlier waving his hands I ran over to him &
started yelling at him to get us out of the airport.
"
We have to go NOW. Come on." " Alright little lady were going." We started
walking at an ok speed, but then Mike spotted me " ALEX COME BACK HERE NOW!
WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" His voice was all cracked like he
had been crying, but it wasn't enough to get me to go back." We have to run.
Go."
The
guy started running & I was right behind him & the guys were right behind
me. We got to the plane & dove in. I heard the guys screaming for me to
stop, but the engines on the plane had started & drowned them out. Before I
knew it we were off the ground & into the night sky.
"
Thank you so much for helping me back there." "No problem, but in a few minutes
your gonna wish you did go with them." " What?" But before I could do anything
to men grabbed me & pinned me to the floor. I tried to scream, but one of
the men had put a cloth full of Valium over my mouth & I had soon passed
out cold on the floor.
