Mongo started out and then turned around. "Bring the kid, he won't pull anything as long as we have the child." Natasha roughly grabbed Emma and then told her to move.
"I am not going to get a reputation as a child abuser. Now be nice to her." Mongo said. "She can't help who her parents are." Taking Emma and putting her on the boat. "Good news kid. You are going to see your daddy soon." Mongo said. Natasha lit a cigarette and put it to her lips as she inhaled.
Rachel couldn't just sit there. She knew this was another trap. She took out her bag and then pulled out a listening device. If she could get into that vent, she could plant the device. Pulling on a blue bikini, she walked down to the water. Taking a deep breath, she swam down to the caverns. She noticed the time on her watch. The meeting was going to start soon. Bubbles came from her mouth as she felt her way into the caverns. She had to find that vent soon.
Mongo walked into the hotel bar. He let Emma go in first. "Daddy " she screamed when she saw Ross. Ross hugged his daughter tightly.
"Oh Emma , I 'm sorry. I didn't want this to happen." Ross explained.
"Daddy , is it true?" Emma asked. "Are you and Mom secret agents for some world agency?" Ross knew he had to tell her the truth.
"Yes I am afraid it is. I became one years ago, after I left Ben's mother. Mom became one after this man here kidnapped her to get to me. She was working as a waitress at the time , and then decided that she wanted to join me at the agency and we got married and then work as a team. We have been on missions together for years." Ross admitted and then looked at Emma. "We didn't tell you, because you would be in danger. You see, none of our family knows this. It is kind of a family secret."
"I hope you didn't mind me telling your daughter the family secret, Fredricks." Mongo sneered.
"This is what you did before , Mongo , how unoriginal." Ross sneered.
"Daddy why did he call you Fredricks? " Emma asked curiously. "I thought your name is Ross ?"
"It is , sweetheart , in the agency , we have to have aliases. My alias is Robert Fredricks and your mother's is Lois Mitchell."
Breathing through her snorkel, she continued through the dark cavern and shined the light as her flippers swam through the abyss.
Finally she saw it, there was a grill on it though. Looking at her watch, she knew she would have to come back later. Surfacing she blew out her snorkel and walked out of the water. Flipping her mask onto her forehead, she headed back toward the hotel.
She looked at the clock and still hadn't heard anything from Ross yet. Sighing, she decided that she needed to get that grill off. She dug out her tool kit and put it in a mesh bag. Hopefully nothing was going to happen , but Rachel knew that was too much to hope for. She knew how diabolical Mongo really was.
"Okay Mongo , what do you want?" Ross asked bluntly. "It is very simple Fredricks, I want you to leave me alone, to never get in my way again." Mongo said.
"Can't promise that." Ross said.
"Oh I think you will because.." at that moment . Natasha came out and stuck a gun into Emma. "If you don't , and if you don't give me the important plans I need for my project that the SSA can get, your dear little girl gets it." Emma started to whimper. "Daddy."
"What project?" Ross said angrily. "Mongo, this is your game. Threatening little girls?"
"Dad I 'm fifteen. " Emma protested. "I'm not a little girl."
"That isn't the issue , Mongo , you can't threaten me," Ross yelled.
"Professor! And I can call you that! Don't make me do something I will regret. I need some plans for the top secret devise so I can make my plan come to fruition." Mongo said.
"And what is that? " Ross asked almost scared to hear.
"To flood most of the world. And through my underwater fortress, I wil be able to rule it because the lands of the earth will be underwater. Currently they are working on a device to sink some islands. With the device, I can rule the world." Mongo declared.
"You are a mad man. That will never happen."
"Obviously you won't help me, so Agent Fredricks ," Natasha came around and shoved a needle into Ross' arm. He fell over onto the table. "I will have to do this my self." Natasha lifted him up and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Daddy!" Emma screamed. Another henchman grabbed Emma and put a gun in her back. "Take them back to the fortress." Mongo declared. Emma stood helpless as her father was being lead away unconscious.
Rachel sat on the bed , still wearing her bathing suit and mask. She kept a look at the clock. Still no Ross.
Mongo loaded them onto the sub and then it disappeared. Emma watched as the surface disappeared. She would give anything to
be back in boring Scarsdale right now. What was going to happen next
she didn't know. She looked at her father still unconscious as the sub dropped further.
