Authors notes: Okay...just for personal reference again...I really don't know Brains wife's name in the movie...that's why I made one up :D
Chapter 8
Helijet
Brains rolled his eyes and swallowed hard. He felt a cold hand on his cheek. His eyes opened and he closed them from the bright lights around him.
"J-Jerrica c-c-c-please uh get m-me the uh Advil?" The hand snapped back.
"Jerrica? Whose Jerrica?" Transom asked slapping him, Brains coughed Brains looked at her.
"J-Jerrica was my w-w-w-life court." Transom growled and stood up.
"You were married and you didn't bother to tell me?" The door slammed open and the Hood walked in.
"It is because she is no longer with him. She died giving birth to their only son Fermat."
Fermat lay back on one of the chairs in the library. He looked at his telecom.
"T-Ten passed nine. Dad and would be by the pool. He'd be watching me do laps." Fermat looked at the picture again and sighed.
"Mama...give me a sign that I should leave an-and go after the guys." Fermat kissed the picture and he heard the door open
"Hello, is there anyone here? Um...I'm from the newsroom across the street. Uh...Um...I've ran out of food and wondered if you could spare some." Fermat's eyes were wide, and his heard beating at ninety miles per hour.
"I'm here." His voice cracked and he felt like a child from the sound of his voice. The dirty blond woman smiled down at him.
"Are you the only one here kid?" She asked and Fermat nodded the woman smiled and nodded.
"Looks like you've got yourself a pretty good set up over here. A fireplace, entertainment, Literature." The woman picked up the radio and looked at it and smiled. "How about you come to the news building with me. We could grab a few snack cakes from the penny store over there enjoy the heating and stuff from over there?" The woman asked Fermat nodded. He wouldn't mind a change of scenery. Plus there were loads of electronics over in the building. Maybe he could call for IR...or better.
"Sure." Not to mention the idea of food was equally tempting to him.
Both Fermat and the woman walked outside the same way Scott and the rest of the occupants did. Fermat looked up at the news building and his eyes widened.
"A helijet propeller? You all have a helijet?" Fermat asked and looked at the woman. The woman smiled and nodded.
"Oh yeah sure. I can't fly it though...bothersome huh?" Fermat smiled brightly. "I can." Fermat said with certainty.
Jeff held his sons face in his hand. Virgils eye was closed, but he was wide awake.
"No I'm sorry Virgil. Whatever hit you in the eyes took it along with it." Jeff ripped a towel in half and rolled it up. Once done he used it to cover the eye...Virgil hissed with pain, but didn't move.
"I'm sure the girls would love that part dad. I'm going to be mocked as a pirate on a deserted island." Virgil said sarcastically.
Jeff sighed and walked over to Gordon who was still out cold. Jeff was beginning to get sick himself. It was getting so cold. Jeff lay down on his back and looked up at the ceiling of TB2 and closed his eyes. Virgil crawled over to his father and shook him by the shoulders.
"Dad...don't go to sleep...dad?"
Scott led his troop through the ice and snow. In his opinion TinTin kept lagging behind holding herself tightly to the thin sweater she had grabbed from the closet. Alan kept hold on her to make sure that she wouldn't get far to behind. Finally Scott stopped and looked around.
"We'll rest here." Scott heard someone fall behind him. He turned to look at TinTin lying in Alan's arms. He walked over to her and shook her.
"Tinny?" Alan asked pulling his jacket open to hold her inside too. Scotts heart melted he stood and walked over to a garbage can and pulled out an pair of matches he had taken from the library and threw a match in it and watched it burn. He turned to see the people begin to crowd around the can and warm their hands. Scott walked over to TinTin and picked her up bringing her over to the can to warm her. He stood back and sighed.
"What have I done?"
FAB 1 flew over LA. Penelope pulled her pink fur coat closer around herself. Parker looked in the rear view mirror.
"Approaching danger zone milady." Parker exclaimed from the drivers seat.
"Very good Parker...bring her in." Parker complied by banking for the final approach and landed a few moments later.
