Mind Reading- Part 14
The next morning, Tiny, Keyop, and Jason appeared at Princess' door to check on her.
"Still sleeping…" Mark regarded them with glazed eyes; still holding her close.
"Her breathing and pulse rate have improved, though…I think she is improving…"
"Mark, I think you'll want to see this…" Jason motioned to Mark to follow him to the window.
He pointed to the football players, carrying suitcases, walking solemnly out of the bungalow. They were covered in bandages. "I found out they're being kicked off the island …and the team." He gave a slight smirk.
"I was just thinking that they need a proper send off…want to join me?" An evil grin flashed across the Condor's face. Mark nodded.
They both transmuted, and slipped in behind the bungalow, unseen.
As the players loaded up their van, the Condor and the Eagle walked out into the open, holding their weapons out for the players to see. The two ninjas stared daggers at them, causing them to drop the suitcases and hold their hands up in the air.
The big, brawling football players suddenly became quivering, pathetic masses of jelly. Brian's hands were covering his face as he sprinted and leaped into the van. "Please don't hurt me!" he begged. The rest of the team followed his lead, jumped into the van, and sped off. They even left a few suitcases behind.
Jason and Mark just laughed, enjoying the entertainment. Keyop and Tiny spied on the action from the front porch off their bungalow, chuckling at Mark and Jason's escapades.
It did their hearts good knowing that those boys would be having nightmares about them for years to come.
Keyop and Tiny suddenly heard a moan coming from Princess' room. Their heads swiveled quickly toward the sound.
Hey, guys, I think she's awake…Tiny stood up and rushed inside. Keyop followed. Mark and Jason darted back to the bungalow.
They entered the room, seeing Princess holding her head. "This is some hangover…what happened?"
Mark sat down on the edge of the bed and slipped his hand into hers. "You were drugged…by Brian and his friends…"
He cast his crystalline blue eyes to the floor. "They…tried to rape you…"
Her eyes widened… "Did they…"
"No. Jase and I got there in time…you were unconscious when we got there."
Her eyes glistened with tears… "Even…Brian?"
"I'm afraid so…"
"I can't believe it…I trusted him…" She sobbed. Mark held her as she cried on his shoulder.
Jason sat down at the end of the bed, putting his hand on her covered feet. "Don't worry, Prin, Mark and I took care of them…you'll never see them again."
Tiny and Keyop joined the other two, finding a place to sit on the edge of the bed.
All four of them hugged Princess and sat quietly by her side, contemplating what could have happened. They were truly a family.
