American Honey
Chapter 17
"Okay, why are we standing in a walk in freezer?" Johnny asked as he pulled Maxie closer to him in an effort to keep warm. Maxie and Sam had lead the group through the house in search of a quite place to fill everyone in on the mystery text. That is how they all ended into the walk in freezer.
"This is a code neon yellow." Maxie whispered as she leaned into John's grasp.
"Is that bad?" Jason asked.
"It's only the highest level of an emergency." Patrick said with a look of panic on his face, "The last time it was a code neon yellow, we got stranded in the middle of the woods with no food."
"We had to capture a squirrel and eat it." Johnny mumbled.
"I thought that we were never going to talk about it again." Maxie said as she swatted at her boyfriend.
"This is something that is life changing." Sam said as she tried to get back on track.
"What did your brother do to my sister?" Jason asked impatiently as he walked closer to Sam and reached for her phone that was in her back pocket.
"Why can't it be something your sister did to our brother?" Kristina countered, "Emily could easily take on Nikolas." She added as she leaned into Ethan's grasp.
"Alright, what happened to our wounded gazelle?" Johnny asked trying not to sound too interested.
"Please, tell me that is not a ring." Jason gasped as he looked at the picture on Sam's phone, "I am going to kill him." Jason announced as he headed towards the door.
"Nikolas did not elope." Robin yelled as he grabbed the phone from Jason and then passed it to Kristina.
"There is no way he made it to Vegas in four hours, so where did he get married?" Patrick asked shocked the Nikolas would do something like that.
"Atlantic City is about two hours." Ethan answered.
"Of course the gambling con would know that." Maxie spat, "So, she was asking you to come be a witness." Maxie started as she looked at her sister.
"What do you think we are going to-do?"
"Find a car, get to Atlantic City and kill your twin." Jason answered for the blonde.
"I have to hide the ice-cream down here, so Monica doesn't start yelling about my diet." A voice said from the outside of the walk-in.
"Alexis is the same way, she is always on about my blood pressure." Mac replied, "She and the kids are the only thing that add to my stress." He added as the door opened.
"Why are you all hanging out in the fridge?" Mac asked as he glanced around the room.
"Trying to get to Narnia." Maxie smiled.
"Right, I just remember it wasn't a walk-in, it was a wardrobe." Kristina said as she snapped her fingers as if the thought had just hit her.
"You were close they both start with a W." Robin smiled as they tried to get passed the men, but Mac blocked the way.
"Narnia, my ass. Where is Nikolas and Emily?" Mac asked as he glared.
"Wow, that is scary. He looks like Alexis." Johnny said as he jumped behind Maxie.
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"Samantha, truth or I start tell about your little flashing faze." Mac threatened.
"Nikolas and Emily are at Atlantic City and need us there as witnesses."
"My daughter is getting married?" Alan asked as he figured out what was going on.
"We are on our way there to be witn... you know to stop it."
"So, what is stopping you from going now?" Mac asked as he got a smile on his face.
"We don't have a car big enough for us." Maxie answered.
"We have the old RV." Alan smiled as he waved the keys, "Mac and I where just going to take it for a spin
"What are you waiting for let's go?"
"So, you are okay with this?" Robin asked confused.
"As long as I get to go on the adventure that is all I ever wanted." Mac smiled as he and Alan led the way to the garage.
000000000000000
"Did you tell them we are on the way?" Mac asked from the passenger seat as Alan pulled onto the highway.
"Yes, I told her to wait to-do anything until we got there." Sam answered as she held onto the table as Alan made a quick turn, "Though they do not know about the two of you coming." Sam mumbled the last part.
"Nikolas is going to be in so much trouble." Patrick smirked as he talked to Johnny, who once again was too busy with his laptop again.
"Why is it that you love to see my brother get in trouble?" Maxie asked as she leaned her elbows on the table and glanced at the two men.
"Don't ask as if you don't get joy from your brother's misery like the rest of us do." Johnny smirked as he looked up from the screen and to his girlfriend.
"I am not going to dignify that with a response." Maxie replied as she leaned back in the seat and grabbed the magazine she had been reading before she decided to get up and head into the bedroom where the second bathroom was located.
An hour later the group was scattered around the sitting area, Mac had taken a turn at driving, while Alan slept in the passenger side. Johnny, Ethan and Patrick where busy watching a movie on the couch, while Robin, Sam and Jason sat in the dining area.
"Sam, I think we have a problem." Robin nodded as she glanced on a coat that sat on the table next to the sink. Sam's eyebrows shot up once she realized who's jacket that was, "Yeah." Robin frowned as she watched Sam's eyes moved to the back of the RV, where a bedroom rested.
"Kristina and Maxie went back there to lay down a little while ago." Jason answered as he watched the two carefully.
"I am going to go check up on them." Sam said as she stood up and followed Robin back to the room.
"About time!" Maxie called as she rushed in-between Robin and Sam, "I thought I was going to be held hostage forever."
"Hello Girls." Alexis smiled as she held up a wine glass in acknowledgment from the bed where she and Monica sat with a smile.
"Mom, you are getting sloppy, you left your coat outside." Sam smiled in greeting.
"Why are you not surprised at the fact that they are here?" Kristina asked in from the corner of the room on a chair.
"Because Sam and I sent her a text." Robin answered.
"I wish I would have thought about that." Maxie muttered to herself, "Now you two are going to be the golden children once again." Maxie added
"I raised at-least two girls that know when the ship is going down." Alexis replied, "Honestly, your father is getting dumber and dumber every year, if he thinks that he can pull one over on me." Alexis murmured as she poured another glass of wine and handed another to Monica.
"After two decades of marriage I still don't fully understand the actions of my husband." Monica informed the girls, "You need to teach these men earlier on that they are always wrong and that you are always right." Monica added.
"I think Maxie already has a head start on that one." Sam smiled to Robin.
"I don't think that is a healthy way to have a marriage." Kristina piped up as she moved over so Maxie could sit next down next to her.
"You haven't been in a relationship for a very long term relationship." Alexis smiled, "It's kind of sweet to have that outlook." She added with a laugh.
"Kristina do not let these two damage you anymore then you already are." Robin sighed as she and Sam climbed into the bed next to Robin and Monica. Alexis opened her bag up and held out to more wine glasses out to the girls.
"I think Ethan and Kristina are a perfect match, they both are criminals just waiting to be caught." Maxie laughed as she pulled her younger sister into a hug.
000000000000000
"Is no one else worried that Maxie and Kristina have been in thebathroom for two hours." Jason asked as he headed over to the couch.
"It's been a nice break from all of Maxie blabbing." Johnny said not looking away from the movie.
"Sam and Robin probably feel asleep in the back." Patrick added.
Jason just shook his head as he decided to head into the back and see for himself."Hey, I just wanted to make sure you four where okay." Jason called out as he opened the door, but stopped when he saw the two older women in the room.
"Jason!" Sam called as she stumbled off the bed, Jason caught her just in time, "How awesome is my mom? She had wine in her bag and glasses." Sam whispered loudly as she hugged Jason.
"Well now I know what you for have been up to for the last hour." Jason smirked as helped steady Sam and brushed her hair back.
"Sorry, I got lost in your eyes, what did you say?" Sam asked with a giggle as she pulled away from Jason's gaze.
"I love you." Jason smiled as he leaned down to kiss Sam, who playfully pulled away and ran or stumbled back to the bed and Robin just as the RV came to a sudden stop.
"Wakey Wakey." Mac called as he came into the bedroom with a grin, "We have a wedding that we need to …... stop." Mac said as he stumbled over his words as he saw a laughing Monica and Alexis.
"Well I would love to stay and see how this whole thing ends but it is Quidditch season is and you know how that is." Maxie smirked as she grabbed Kristina's hand and hurried out of the room.
"Mac don't worry I am not made." Alexis smiled as she stood up and made her way towards her husband, "We have a wedding to attend."
"Why are we not putting a stop to this?" Mac asked confused, thinking that this was some sort of a trap.
"No way in heck are we going to put a stop to this, Emily and Nikolas are perfect for each other and as much as I wish that they would wait to have a traditional wedding, this is what makes them happy then we are going to support them." Alexis smiled as she pulled him into a hug, "Plus our children are anything but traditional." Mac just relaxed as he leaned down to kiss his wife.
"Oh my God, we would forgot Molly." Alexis cried as she pulled away from Mac.
