Good and Bad times
Chapter 2
..... "Bunji...Is this you?..." A shaky voice whispered.
It was comeing from the girl sitting in the chair.
Bunji knew that voice. Where did he heard it the last
time? Who is it?
"Just call me Vicky!....... I've just moved here
today..........."
He recognized that voice. She had a light accent. "Vicky!
It is you!" Karat-one walked up to her. She looked up at him. Her eyes
were red from all the crying. His heart ached to see her like this. Although
he didn't know her that much he felt with her. How terrible she must feel.
Her parents were dead. Like his own parents, but she saw how they had been
killed. Killed by Scarab!
He kneeled down next to her so they were the same high.
He put an arm carefully around her shoulder. "I'm so sorry..... I'm so
sorry..."
He repeated over and over again not knowing what else
to say.
The other members of the Bionic six and Prof Sharp watched
the scene quietly. Helen's eyes started to water and she asked in a low
voice "What will happen to her Professor?" Sharp took off his glasses and
cleaned them. The whole events made him looking older.
"I have to phone the police and they will take care of
her," He took a deep breath. "But they can't really protect her if my brother
tries to ....kill her." He said sadly and tried to stop the tears in the
corner of his eyes.
Karat-one's uniform disappeard making him Bunji again.
Still his arm around her shoulder he said soft words to calm her down a
little.
Suddenly she raised her head and looked directly into
his eyes. "Bunji, I'm alone....I'm so afraid, that he will kill me.....
the same way he murdered my Mama and Papa..." She whispered and the tears
came back and ran down her face. She fell down from her chair as she pressed
her face into his chest. Bunji just closed his black eyes and put his arms
around her body. Her tears wetting his shirt, but that didn't matter. He
just wanted her to feel better. And if it helped her to cry, he would let
her cry.
The Bennetts and Sharp were sitting at the huge table
in the lab. Vicky was sleeping in one corner of the room on a sofa. Bunji
had stayed with her for a while and as she was assleep he came over to
his family and Sharp.
"We can't let her get killed by Scarab also! And you
said that the police can't really protect her from him!" Jack said after
a long time of silence. Sharp closed his eyes and thought about the words
his friend had said. "You're right, Jack. We have to find a better home
for her." Again silence. And then Helen spoke out the idea everyone had
for some time. "She can come with us. We can protect her and we have enough
space at home." Everybody agreed with her immedietly and Sharp sighed.
He was satisfied that she would live with the Bennetts/Bionic six. There
was no other place were she could be saver.
Bunji was happy that Vicky will live in their house.
But there was one thing he had to tell his family and Sharp. The others
were talking excitedly to one other. Bunji coughed a little to get their
full attention.
"I have to tell you something important." He said serious
and looked around the round table into everyone's faces. They felt that
Bunji wasn't joking around and listened carefully to his words. "I'm sure
your curious about the fact why she knows me and I'll tell you now."
He closed his eyes and opened them some seconds later.
All eyes were still fixed on him. "I met her in the karat-school this evening
and we talked a little. She told me that she just had moved here with her
parents from Germany." He took a glas of water, which was standing
in front of him, and drank a bit. "As we entered the lab after your call,"
Sharp nodded as Bunji looked at him. "She recognized that it was me. Bunji,
but actually I was Karat-1." His hand again reached out for the glass of
water. Now they finally understood what was up with him. Someone had "discovered"
their secret. Their hidden identity. Only Sharp and the Bennets themselves
knew about this and now a 16-year old girl, who's parents had been murdered
some houres ago knew about the people behind the Bionic six.
What will happen to Vicky now? Will Scarab kill her, too or can the Bionic six and Bunji protect her? Give me your ideas please, what do you think should happen next?
Please R&R!
