Alex jumped up and did a triple kick. But Martha was fast and dodged it. Alex went flying into a tree!

"I really don't want to hurt an old woman, but I will if I have to!" Alex screamed, trying again, this time with her earrings.

"Stupid child! Those little trinkets can't beat me!" Martha laughed, stopping the earrings in front of her.

Alex was in awe. "OK, that didn't work. But this might!" she tried her lipstick.

Martha laughed at that too. "Pathetic girl. Nothing will work." she jumped up, but Alex was ready for her this time. She jumped up in the air and punched her in the stomach!

Martha landed on her knees, holding her stomach. Alex landed on her feet "I told you I didn't want to hurt you."

Martha got up, with help from her staff. "You think...that'll beat...me?" Martha laughed weakly.

"No, but this will!" Adam came up behind her and lassoed her.

Martha struggled, but it was no use. Adam strapped her to the chair and backed up. "You annoying children! You shall die!"

Alex laughed at this "Really? It looks like you shouldn't talk right now." She walked up to her and leaned down "Thank you for the muffins and tea, but we have to get going. Bye bye."

"Get back here! My master will win!" Martha yelled as Alex and Adam walked away, hand in hand.

"Can't believe a old woman almost beat me." Alex joked.

"Well, she's a tough one." Adam laughed.

Alex laughed with him. "Come on, you big ham. I have to find my friendssssssss!!!!!!!!" she yelled as she fell down a hole.

"Alex!" Adam dived after her and grabbed her hand. The hole closed and they fell for a while.

"OK, this is getting boring." Alex yawned.

"You realize this will probably hurt when we hit the bottom." Adam informed her.

"That's why I have this." she gestured toward her jet pack backpack. "Grab a hold on me."

"No prob." Adam joked, grabbing around her middle.

"Pervert." Alex hit him lightly and turned on her jet pack. They stopped falling and just floated in the air.

"Ready?" Alex asked him.

"Ready." Adam nodded.

"Here we go." she flew down toward the bottom. After a few moments, Adam announced "I think I see the bottom."

"Good." Alex grinned, but then they heard a sound coming from the backpack. "Uh oh." Alex gulped as the jet pack stopped and they fell to the bottom.

Adam hit first and then caught Alex. "Thanks." she smiled.

"No prob. Where's my prize?" he joked.

Alex laughed "You mean this one?" she kissed him. When they pulled back, Adam joked "I was actually expecting Jennifer Aniston, but you will do."

Alex glared at him playfully "Can you put me down now?"

"If I must." Adam sighed, putting her down.

"Come on." Alex grabbed his hand and led the way down the hall. They reached a lit room and Alex held in a scream.

Her two best friends were passed out, hanging above a big vat of hot oil!

Alex was ready to cry "Oh no, what will I do?"

Adam held her "Don't worry. We'll figure something out."

"You're right. Hold up, who's that?" Alex asked, gesturing toward the corner of the room.

Adam looked and gasped "It's my dad." he whispered.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Your dad's evil." Alex nodded, but Adam looked torn. Alex realized that he had an obligation to his father, but he loved her. Sighing, Alex put her hand on his shoulder "Go ahead."

"What?" Adam looked down at her, in confusion.

"Go ahead and greet your father." Alex repeated.

"But, Alex..." he started.

"Just go!" she exclaimed softly, pointing and close to tears.

Adam held her hand and looked into her eyes "You realize that I love you with all my heart, right?"

Alex nodded, trying really hard not to cry.

Adam was too "Once this whole thing is over, I'll come back to you. Will you wait?" he pleaded, looking into her eyes.

"Of course." Alex softly admitted. Adam leaned down to kiss her. She kissed him back, trying hard not to cry. When he pulled back, he laughed softly "Go in there and do your spy thing." Letting go of her hand, he walked into the room, wiping his tears.

Alex watched him and took a deep breath in. "Don't worry, Adam. I promise you I'll wait."

Is Adam going back to the evil side? What will Alex do if he does? Pleaz RR
