Eeep ! Its been ages since my last post, sorry about that, I've been focusing on my other story Moments in Time. But I'll try and get some more up here soon. Please keep reviewing
At the same time, Lexa, Brennan, Jesse and Shalimar were chatting in the kitchen. Shalimar was trying to cook lunch while Jesse helped her unsuccessful attempts. He was a better cook than her so it helped them all from getting food poisoning. Lexa and Brennan were sitting on the work top and were talking about the movie they had seen a couple of weeks ago. Shalimar dug into the oven and brought out a pan of vegetables she placed them on the counter but paused as she heard a noise. Jesse noticed and spoke.
"What is it?" As he spoke Lexa and Brennan looked round.
"Someone's activated the Helix" She said confused.
"But we're all here" As he spoke Brennan and Jesse looked at each other in realisation and both men ran out the door, their wives following them as they also realised what was happening. Jesse and Brennan stopped suddenly at the hanger bay door. They could now hear the Helix. Jesse typed in the access code and they both burst through the door as it slid open. Inside they could see the Helix at full power and second later Shalimar and Lexa ran in to see the same thing. Jesse activated his com-ring and spoke.
"Shut down the Helix now!" He got no response.
Inside the Helix Leo was panicking.
"Why did I let you talk me into this! My Dad is going to kill me !" He looked at Angelie who was sitting calmly in her chair.
"Look, we'll just turn it off and explain that we wanted to prove ourselves capable"
"Well turn it off then!" Angelie looked over at all the controls in front of her.
"Err, I think its this one" before Leo could stop her she pressed flipped a switch. The Helix rose a foot into the air, now hovering above their parents.
"This was such a stupid idea !" Leo screamed.
"Shut up!" Angelie told him. Before he could scream at her again they jumped as Jesse phased through the wall and landed feet first on the floor. Without saying anything he walked towards the front and pressed the right buttons to bring the Helix back down to the ground, turn the engines off and open the door at the back.
"Out" He said calmly. Leo looked down at the ground and walked slowly out with Angelie behind him. Stepping out they were confronted by three angry parents, with another parent behind them. They were surrounded with no escape.
"We can explain" Angelie began.
"No" Shalimar told her.
"But Mom!"
"She said no" Brennan interrupted "Now go to your room" Angelie said nothing and a moment later she stormed off. Shalimar followed her a minute later. "Good luck" Brennan whispered to Jesse before leaving in the same direction as his daughter and wife. Jesse walked round so that he was standing next to Lexa.
"Dad, it was Angie, she made me do it" Leo tried to explain.
"And I suppose she picked you up and carried you here"
"I just wanted to show you"
"Show us what?" Lexa asked with a more softer tone than Jesse's.
"That I'm old enough to handle these sort of things"
"All you've shown us is how disappointed you can make us"
"I didn't mean for this to happen"
"But you let it" Jesse spoke with a harsh tone. He stepped forward but Lexa put her arm in front to stop him. At her movements he calmed and before he could apologise Leo ran off in the direction of his room. Jesse sighed and looked at his wife.
"I remember a time when you were this much trouble"
"Hey, I never tried to steal the Helix" Jesse placed his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him.
"I'm sure you would have, given half the chance"
"Hey!" Lexa defended herself.
"I'll go talk to him" Jesse said and kissed Lexa gently.
"Thank you" She replied and they broke apart. He the left her standing alone as she watched him walk away.
