Chapter 4 ~ To The Rescue
Milo could stand the pain, but not for long. He just wished that his friends were here right now. These guys are lunatics. They torture an innocent child for something that is not even true. "P-please... just let me go. I promise I'll shut my mouth about this situation," Milo cried, begging for freedom. He uses his big puppy eyes, hoping to get some mercy, but it gave no effect to Brick's cold heart.
While then Savannah still rummages through the backpack. He had let out lots of stuff in there. Still, she couldn't find any evidence of Milo being a secret agent, but she found something that catches her eyes. She pulled out a piece of paper. On the paper there is a picture of Milo and his mum, dad, and Sara. A thought crosses through her mind. 'Charlie...'
Back Again With The Kids And Time Travellers
"Okay, now wait for a minute while 4DPS scan." - Terry
Dakota's time-travelling companion seems to know what he's doing. Now they are one step closer to finding the boy. Cavendish rubbed his palms, he's sweating. The thought of Milo is in danger couldn't get his mind on anything. He was worried, what if Brick and Savannah had done something beyond the line? Poor little boy couldn't handle the pressure.
"Aha! Found them!" Terry exclaimed, which seemed to startle the whole gang. "Really? Where and in what timeline are they?" Zack was the first to give a question to ask. "Hmm... it seems that they are not yet leaving the present," Terry said rubbing his chin in a thoughtful expression.
"Then where are they?" - Melissa
"Wait a minute!" Terry then pushed on several buttons and the monitor zoomed in to a somewhat empty pistachio storage. "Hey, wait a minute! That's the abandoned pistachio storage that I ever brought Milo to! I know that place!" Melissa exclaimed almost ran away in light speed and left her friends behind. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Dakota then lead them out of the building. "Thank you, sir! It was nice of you to help us," Cavendish gave him his gratitude before rushing out of the bureau.
Outside, they finally reached for the time machine and get ready to fly back to the present, but something unexpected happened. "What happened?" Zack panickedly ask Cavendish. "Ugh... the machine won't start," Cavendish growled. He tried restarting the machine a few times before it's finally turned on. They then flew back to the past.
Milo couldn't think straight now. His mind is being overwhelmed by Brick, who refers him to be a super intellegent secret agent. "Now Milo, for the last time; WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?! AND WHAT IS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THOSE NUT JOBBERS? What are you planning, kid?" Brick asked, fed up with Milo for what seemed to be a weird reason. Milo stayed silent, unable to say anything within the pressure and fear he were put into.
"THAT'S IT!" Brick then raised the cattle prod, setting it to the highest voltage, over the danger level. He aimed it to Milo, with the desire to kill him. Milo then screamed as loud as he can. "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!" He closed his eyes, and with that one scream, the cattle prod were kicked out of Brick's hand, and laid on the floor.
The team is a block away from the abandoned pistachio warehouse only to hear the loud scream coming from the pistachio warehouse. "SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!"
"Hey, that's Milo's voice." - Zack
"And he seemed to be in a great danger." - Cavendish
"Then what are waiting for? Come on, let's go! This way!" - Melissa
With that, Cavendish speeds up and reached the abandoned building within milliseconds. Then they hopped off the vehicle and entered the building.
Brick was shocked by the sudden move. He looked at Savannah, who had succeed in "saving the child". "Savannah? Why did you do that?" - Brick
"I will not let you to do anymore harm on this child!" Savannah yelled at her partner.
Just then, four more persons entered the room, shocked by the scene they were watching. "Oh good. You guys are here. Just in time." - Savannah
"Zack! Melissa! Cavendish! Dakota!" Milo yelled happily seeing their friends come to rescue him. "Milo!" Zack and Melissa exclaimed happily as they reached for their friend, untying the rope and set him free. The trio then went into a group hug. Milo felt very scared for the recent hours of his life, but seeing his friends finally here, he's calming down now.
Vinnie then take a step of act and punches Brick on his face, which makes him collapsed to the floor. "That's for putting Milo in danger," Brick then held his reddened face because of the force given by Dakota's fist punch. Dakota raised his fist, preparing to beat up Brick with all his might, but Cavendish stopped him. "No, Dakota! Well... Savannah, do you think this all is really necessary. I mean a 13 years old kid doesn't deserve this kind of treatment," Cavendish said to the first class agent.
"It's how we do the interrogation procedure," Savannah replied. "But you don't have to do this to a boy, especially Milo!" Zack raised his voice, preparing to attack the female agent, but Milo and Melissa held him in place so that he doesn't rage out and do something that he might regret doing later.
Then, within seconds, Brick rose up from the floor. "YOU! I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR MILO!" Zack yelled at the agent and prepared to run to attack him, but luckily Milo and Melissa stopped him just in time. "Okay, Zack. Stop it! It's not worth it," Melissa said calming the furious child. Zack can finally being calmed, but they decided not to let him go just yet, because he might try to attack Brick again. "Okay, now everyone calm down, there's no need to use harms!" Cavendish said in hoping to calm them down from the tension. "Thank you!"
Savannah went to get something that apparently belongs to the boy. "I think this one's yours," Savannah said handing Milo the backpack. "My Backpack!" Milo then hugged his backpack tightly, then he opened it when Savannah said, "Don't worry kid, everything's already in there. Oh except...," she then pulled out a small picture of Milo and his family. She looked at it with a slight smile in her face, and not the kind of evil smirk that she always shows. "Here you go." She then handed the picture to him. "Thank you!" Milo exclaimed as he took the picture. "You're welcome."
Everyone was about to walk away and get back, when Milo suddenly stopped. He turned around to face Savannah. Her expression is very flat and cold, but not as much as earlier nor as much as Brick. "What are you looking at?" - Savannah
"I just wanted to ask you something. Why did you save me back there when this... uh, tall gorgeous rough agent, tried to kill me?" Milo asked pointing Brick. "Thank you for the compliment, but I have a name too, you know?" Brick responded, a bit annoyed and glad on how Milo referred him.
Savannah inhaled deeply, then opened her mouth to talk. "You know, a few years ago, when I was in college, I used to take care my cousin, Charlie, during my free time when my mum's sister, whose Charlie's mum, went out to do some stuffs. Charlie is a nice boy, he looks just like you, cowlick, sweater vest, slippers, bright smile," Savannah stopped a bit to take a breath.
"Then what happened to him?" - Milo
"Well about the time I almost finished college, something happened to him. A group of unidentified men broke into the house and kidnapped him. I tried to fight them, but I was outnumbered. I got severe injuries from that event, and I lost my favourite cousin. We tried looking everywhere to find him, but there's no sign of hope. Then after about 6 months looking for him, I had to accept it that Charlie is already lost, and maybe killed, and I won't be seeing him again." A tear slipped from Savannah's eyes.
"I'm sorry about what happened with your cousin, but why don't you try to fix it with time travel?" Dakota asked.
"Actually although that breaks the rules and policies of the bureau, but I did it. But unfortunately no matter how hard I try, I keep on failing. Then I had to accept that this is something that time travel can fix. In fact, Block already gave me a warning about it." - Savannah
The room filled with silence, when Milo finally breaks it, without Murphy's law of course. "Here, why don't you take this?" Milo said handing her the picture she gave him earlier. "Maybe this will remind you that your cousin will always be there with you."
Savannah took the picture from the boy's hands. "Thank you, Milo!" She then extended her arms, preparing to give him a hug, which Milo gladly accepted.
Then, everyone left the building. But before the trio and the pistachio guardians left, Brick stopped them. "Wait!" He then pulled out the cattle prod, which startled everyone there. Melissa and Zack are already on position, protecting Milo from the rough agent. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you," he assured. "You better not!" Savannah then gave him a death glance.
"Actually I meant to give this to you," he said handing the device to Milo. "Wait, why?" Milo asked as he stepped forward, to the front of his friends. "I've known that Murphy family descends a bad luck called 'Murphy's Law' to every male of their family. So I'm giving this to you, perhaps that you might need it when Murphy's law dragged you into somewhat crazy Murphy's law event, 'cause you know Murphy's law is unpredictable, right?"
"Yeah!" Milo said as he gladly accept the cattle prod, and put it in his backpack. Brick then gave him a fist pump. This then started to change their prespective on the agents. "Well, I guess we'll be going now," Brick said as they entered their limo. "Okay, see you guys again soon!" Milo then waved goodbye to them as they jumped into the timestream.
The trio and the time travellers then went back to their time vehicle, but when Cavendish started their time vehicle, unfortunately, it ran out of time juice. "Well I guess that you guys have to go home walking," Dakota said. "Sorry about this, kid," Cavendish added. "Nah, it's okay. Besides we planned to go around the city for a walk," Melissa said. "That's good. We'll see you guys soon then." - Cavendish
"Okay, see you!" The trio waved as they left them.
"Glad to have you back, Milo!" - Melissa
"Yeah! We don't know what would it be without you, buddy!" - Zack
"Aww... thanks guys!" Milo said as he pulled his fellow buddies into a tight hug. He is glad that he have two nice best friends who are always there to the rescue when he needs them.
