Chapter 8: Jamie!
Falco walked out of the bathroom after taking a nice, relaxing, hot shower the next morning. He entered the living room and looked at Fox, who was sitting in a chair, looking at Falco with a sly smirk on his face.
"So, did you enjoy your much needed shower, Falco," he asked jokingly.
"Very funny, Fox," replied Falco sarcastically. He then looked around and saw that Peppy, Slippy, Jackie, and Kyle were in the room. "Hey, where's Jamie?"
"He's still sleeping," replied Fox. He then looked at Jackie, who was rolling up the sleeves on her new khaki jacket that was given to her when she came aboard the Great Fox. She looked down at him with a confused look on her face.
"What," she asked. "Is there something on my face?"
"Something's missing."
"Like what?" With those words, Fox took off his com-link and handed it to Jackie. She took it and looked at it. She then peered down at Fox with a worried look on her face. "Why are you giving me this? This is your com- link."
"I have an extra one in my room, the one that Bill gave me for my birthday last year." She then smiled and put it on her head, adjusting it so it fit her.
"I say this again, Fox," started Falco. "You have a clone there."
"Falco?"
"Yeah?"
"Two things, all right? Shut. Up." Everyone started to laugh, except for Falco, who had a grim look on his face. Peppy then stood up from his seat at the table.
"We really should be going now, you guys. Katina needs us," he ordered. Everyone nodded and started walking toward the docking bay. Fox veered toward the residence hall. Kyle stopped and looked at Fox.
"Where are you going, Fox," he asked.
"I'm going to go check up on Jamie," answered Fox. "I'll catch up with you guys in a sec." Kyle nodded and caught up with everyone. He stopped and looked in shock at the only Arwing that remained. His eyes widened and he ran over to the rest of the group, who had the same expression on their faces.
"What the hell happened here," roared Falco.
"I-I-I don't know," cried Slippy. "Someone must have breached the security system and broken in last night."
"Hey guys, check this out," called out Jackie. Everyone ran over to her as she pointed out a broken security camera. "Whoever did this, didn't want us to find out their identities."
"But who could have done this," asked the worried Peppy. Just then, Fox ran into the docking bay as fast as he could with a frightened look on his face. Peppy ran over to him and stopped him, trying to calm him down. "Fox, what's wrong!? I haven't seen you like this since-"
"It's Jamie! He's gone! I can't find him anywhere," yelled Fox. Peppy's eyes widened when he heard the shocking news. Fox looked around and ran toward the only Arwing that remained. He jumped into the cockpit and tried to start it, but to no avail. He slammed his fists onto the controls angrily. "Damn it! Why won't you start!?" He then put his elbows on the dashboard, buried his face into his hands, and broke down into tears. Peppy looked over at the Arwing with a tear in his eyes.
"I haven't seen Fox act like that since James died. Whoever took the Arwings must have taken Jamie as well." Slippy walked over to the Arwing and looked under the hood to find the system completely messed up.
"And whoever took them, didn't want us to follow them," the frog stated. "But the question is: Why?" Falco walked over to where his Arwing used to be and picked up a pair of sunglasses. He walked over to the rest of the group and showed it to them. Jackie took the sunglasses, looked at them angrily, slammed them onto the ground, and stomped on them as hard as she could, breaking them into hundreds of pieces.
"Jackie, what the heck was that about," cried out Kyle. He put a hand on her shoulder to try to calm her down. Her face showed pure hatred and anger. She yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Damn you, Sky.Damn you to hell!!!"
