Chapter 2: Revealing Truth
Alan still didn't recognize the kid.
"Like a friend of mine back in America" the kid told him and then left. Alan sighed in relief.
Lila, John's psychic friend, was watching a movie in her basement with him when she had a vision. It was of Alan and the Tracys arguing and him running away. Then, she saw Alan get attacked by the Hood and die.
"Lila? Lila, what's wrong" he asked when he saw her gasp. She didn't look at him and pulled him closer to her.
"You've got to get back to your family. This boy was attacked by the Hood" she said. She never met Alan because he hadn't been born when she met his parents. His mom had been pregnant with Alan at the time and they thought it was a girl.
"What does that have to do with me" he asked a little selfishly. Lila only pulled him closer.
"Blond hair, blue eyes, slim, and a little bit shorter than you. I'm guessing he's related to you" she growled. John's face paled.
"Alan" he whispered. He went to go, but she grabbed him again and pulled him back to her.
"You better do it quick, your brother….Alan, is going to die" she told him. He nodded and ran. He got into a car and drove away.
Jeff and the other brothers hadn't noticed Alan was missing yet. Jeff was in his office when John's portrait beeped and flashed.
"What the" he growled when he looked up at it. He opened the link and John's face appeared. Jeff opened his mouth to say something.
"I don't care, you guys can yell at me all you want when I get home. Heck, I deserve it! Right now, Alan has runaway and the Hood's after him. We need everyone and fast" John interrupted. He cut the link before Jeff could say anything. Jeff sighed and sounded the alarm.
"W-What's wrong" Gordon asked panting. He had been on the beach when the siren went off and ran as fast as he could.
"Alan's in trouble and we need to find him before the Hood does" Jeff told his three sons. The brothers' faces screwed up in anger.
"Why do we have to rescue him? He's the one who killed John" Virgil growled. It was Jeff's turn to scowl.
"THIS WAS NOT YOUR BROTHER'S FAULT! IT'S THE HOOD'S! DON'T YOU GO BLAMING HIM FOR SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO! AND JOHN'S NOT DEAD" he bellowed making the three cringe in fear. The brothers ran to their portraits. Jeff sighed. Fermat and Tin-Tin came running in.
"Sorry we're late, what's wrong" Fermat gasped.
"Fermat, Tin-Tin, I need you to stay here and work base" Jeff told them. They nodded. Fermat sat in Jeff's chair and Tin-Tin pulled a chair up to the desk. In the private jet, the brothers asked what their father had said about John. He repeated it again. They met up with John on the mainland.
"John" the brothers began. John held up a hand to stop them. He was furious with them. He didn't understand how they could yell at Alan. Alan didn't do anything wrong.
"Don't you even start! How could you yell at him? He didn't do anything wrong. Oh, and to tell you since I know you're going to ask. That was a clone of me" John yelled. He didn't look at them, he couldn't, he was too ashamed.
"Uh oh" they heard a familiar voice say in surprise. They looked up and saw a black haired Alan. He began to run. They chased after him.
