I'm back, after a fairly shortish wait that seems like a long time. No more dilly dally, let's do this chapter, and hopefully do it good.
I don't own Jackie Chan Adventures, these amazing plot stories are mine, but the characters are not…other then my OC's.
So the group of teenagers now knew who took Fare, but they still didn't know where they could find them. Frank, or Shendu, suggests a way that they could find out.
"We could easily ask people who have worked for Valmont before if they know where he is. He often keeps in contact with them, ready to offer them work even if they aren't technically working for him anymore." Frank says (A/N I'm just going to say Frank, because it is Frank's body.)
Jade looks at Charlie and says "You could ask your uncle, he was constantly working for Valmont." Charlie shrugs and says "I guess…" but before he could say anything else the others were already dragging him away to go talk with Chow.
They were able to find the enforcers fairly easily, they were just at a coffee shop eating donuts, like they did ofte.. Charlie goes in to talk with Chow while Jade stays behind with Gill, Kaze, and Spark. Kane and Frank follow Charlie though, in case he needed to…persuade the enforcers, which they would be only too happy to do.
When Chow see's his nephew he says "Hey Charlie, what are you doing here?" Charlie is about to say something when he feels like something evil was watching him, turning around he see's Kane and Frank there, watching him. Charlie quickly turns away, back towards his uncle and says nervously "I just wanted to ask you something"
When Charlie doesn't continue Frank steps up and says "Do you know where we could find Valmont?" Charlie shudders, here he was, standing right next to an evil demon that was using his best friend's voice and body, it was a little unnerving.
Finn looks at Frank strangely "Why would you want to know where big V is?"
"Yeah," Chow says, "And how do you know who Valmont is anyway?"
"Jade told us," Charlie says. "And we need to find Valmont because we think he has kidnapped that man over there's cousin." He says, pointing to Kane.
Finn looks at Chow and says "He's never kidnapped before." To which Chow says "I wouldn't really put it past him." Looking back at the boys Finn says "Yeah, we know where big V is, we can go and talk to him for you."
Charlie looks relieved and says "That is a good idea, you guys go and talk to him." But Frank says "No, I think we should go."
"You think your dad would be okay with it?" Finn asks. Frank just shrugs and says "Probably not, but he barely pays attention to what I do, he usually just ignores me."
This answer seemed to satisfy Finn and Chow, so they agreed to take the boys to Valmont. Once outset the coffee shop Frank lags behind the others and grabs Charlie's arm, pulling him into an alley way. Pushing Charlie against the wall Frank threatens him.
"If you try to do that again then I will make sure you will pay. You do not get to make the decisions here, you don't even get to suggest them." Frank says, his eyes glowing red, "You are just a worthless little human who only knows how to get in other peoples way. Don't try to be any more then that." Frank then let's go of Charlie and goes to catch up with everyone else, leaving a terrified Charlie behind him.
After a minute Charlie finally goes and follows the others. When he catches up to them he doesn't even look Frank in the eyes, but heads straight for Jade. She quickly notices that something is wrong.
"Are you okay Charlie?" She asks, Charlie looks behind him at Frank, who was glaring at him. Charlie clutches at his arm and says "I'm fine; I just don't like this whole demon thing. The sooner we can get this over with the better." Then Charlie, out of habit, digs his fingernails into his skin.
Finn and Chow lead the kids close to the docks, to the helms fish Cannery. Jade looks at the place and says "Valmont isn't very good at coming up with new hide outs." Finn looks at the kids and says "You kids wait out here, we're gonna go get Big v." And he and Chow go inside the cannery, leaving the kids.
Charlie mumbles under his breath "I hope Valmont isn't there." But unfortunately he said it loud enough for Frank to hear. Frank grabs Charlies shirt and says "Why would you hope that?" Before Charlie could even think about what he was saying, he says "Oh, I'm sorry that I would rather not see you be an even freakier demon then you are now." Frank, enraged pulls Charlie to the edge of the dock and holds him over the edge so he's now about the water.
Thankfully Finn and Chow had come back and they were able to drag the boys away from the water and away from each other.
"What is going on here?" Chow asks, wondering why, and how, Frank could do something like that. Before Frank could make up any fake excuse Jade says "Frank is possessed by Shendu."
Both Finn and Chow look at Frank, shocked. Frank merely glares at Jade and says "I will get you later." Jade miraculously holds her ground and glares back at him, not scared of the fire demon.
Kane, during all this, had walked into the Cannery himself, and he comes back out, dragging a struggling Valmont behind him. Seeing Valmont, Frank takes his attention onto the British man instead.
"Valmont," Frank says, looking at the man menacingly, "We need to ask you a few things."
Okay, I think that's it for that chapter, and I think there should be one more chapter of this story after this. Gosh, it feels like everything I write is just leading up to and giving clues about things that will happen in later stories. And those are the things that I'm going to be excited about writing. Things like Charlie's and Seymour's big secrets, those are going to be fun. Anywho, I'll get another chapter up soon. Until then, read on.
