Chapter 6: Revenge
Scott and Becca ordered their food and then sat in an awkward silence. Neither one knowing what to say to the other. Scott couldn't believe his brothers had set him up like that and Becca couldn't believe she had fallen for such an obvious trick. She decided to open up the lines of communication.
"So how are you going to get back at your brothers then?" she asked trying to keep her tone light.
"Not sure yet but I do know an expert in devious plotting," he said relieved she had finally spoken.
"Oh yeah?" she asked smiling.
"Yeah. My sister in law Lucie. She is the queen of being devious. If she and Gordon ever team up. We are done for," he said smiling back.
"Lucie. Is she the one who came with you to London?"
"Yeah. She has taken over a lot of the Tracy Industries based work."
"Cool. So which brother is she married too. Wait before you answer. Was she in on the plan?"
"I don't think so. This has my brothers written all over it. Lucie is really good at practical jokes but she would never do one that could backfire and hurt someones feelings. She is not like that."
"She sounds really nice and from the way you're talking she probably wasn't in on this so I am guessing she is John's wife."
"How did you guess?"
"Well if she was married to Virgil she would know what they had done or at least have had some idea what they were up to."
"You're right she would. Guess I will be having words with my other sister in law too," he said grinning.
"Yeah but how do we get them back?"
"I'm not sure. Let me ring Luce and see if she has any ideas," he said and took out his phone. As he chatted to his sister in law Becca had to smile at how close they seemed. She was really glad that Virgil and John were settled now. She had grown close to all the Tracy brothers and she did miss them now and then. Scott hung up the phone grinning. He had always had a gorgeous smile.
"I knew she would have a plan. We have to go see her once we have eaten," he said still grinning.
"Cool. What is it?"
"She wouldn't say. We have to go see her. Are you free this afternoon?"
"Yeah I am. I'm looking forward to meeting her," she said as their meals arrived. The enjoyed the rest of the meal chatting about what they had done since leaving University.
Scott lead Becca upstairs to the private offices. As they approached the door they could hear Lucie talking to someone. Scott opened the door and gestured at them to stay silent. They moved over to some chairs and sat down listening to Lucie talking to John. She said goodbye and then grinned at them both.
"Hi you must be Becca," she said.
"Hi it's nice to meet you Lucie," she said smiling at her.
"Well part one of the plan has been initiated," she said turning to Scott.
"Part one. What is that then?" he asked.
"Well that was John and I have just told him how mad you are at the others for setting you up," she explained still grinning.
"Was he in on it?"
"No. He had no idea and he is just as shocked as I am that they could do something like that. It could have gone so wrong."
"Yeah well at least John will be safe for a while then," added Becca.
"Yeah. We may need his help later. Anyway I thought we could teach your brothers a lesson about messing with peoples feelings."
"How do we do that?" asked Scott interested to hear about her plan.
"By showing them what could have happened. We are going to make them think that you didn't want to see Becca and she was not impressed to learn they had played a trick on her. They are going to think you are furious at them and will do anything to win you round Scott. It will be funny to watch," she explained laughing. Scott had to agree it was a good plan.
"Cool. Hey I could send Scott a nasty email about it. They must have got into your email account and will probably keep an eye on it," said Becca joning in the conversation.
"Yeah. I will need to change my password after this," said Scott annoyed they had hacked into his account.
"Alan will have done that. Remind me to have words with my husband about teaching his younger brother to hack," said Lucie.
"I will don't worry," he replied grinning.
"Thanks and don't worry about your account. I have an anti hack device that could even keep John out," she added as Scott's phone began to ring. He checked out the caller I.D and handed the phone to Lucie. It was Virgil.
"John must have warned them. Don't answer it. Let them stew a little," said Becca enjoying the joke. Lucie grinned and nodded. She knew she was going to like this girl and she hoped Scott wouldn't let them get away.
"I wish I could see their faces when they find out," said Becca wistfully.
"You can. Why don't you join us at the island in a couple of days and they can find out that way," said Scott. He would like the chance to spend some more time with her.
"Really. I would love to," she replied. It would be great to see them all again and she would like the chance to explain to Scott what happened the first night.
"How about we extend the lie a little. Becca should still turn up as normal but you can act as if you didn't know she was coming and then blame the boys once more. Really drag out the pain," said Lucie unable to stop smiling. The others were grinning too.
"You really are devious sis," said Scott admiring her ability to have fun. He knew she had been through hell but still managed to smile.
"I have to be with you lot. Just you wait and see Becca. They are a nightmare," said Lucie not meaning a word. She loved them all dearly.
"Right lets sort out the details," said Scott and they began to plot.
Two days later and they were now on their way home. They had enjoyed winding the boys up over the last couple of days. Virgil, Gordon and Alan were really scared about seeing Scott now. Lucie's mobile began to ring. She grinned when she saw it was Maddie.
"Hi Maddie how are you?" she said trying not to laugh. Over the last couple of days she had been bombarded by calls from them all and she had thoroughly enjoyed winding them up. Maddie had guessed they were up to something but hadn't known what so they had let her in on the secret.
"Great. How are you."
"Oh we are fine. How are the others?"
"Paranoid as hell and it's really funny to watch. Thanks for including me in this."
"It was nothing. I am just glad you don't condone their actions," said Lucie putting it on speaker phone so Scott could listen.
"No way. That was pretty mean. Becca could have been really hurt. I only wish I had realized what they were up to," said Maddie. Scott could hear the remorse in his sister in laws voice.
"It's ok Maddie. Luckily no one was hurt and the next few days will be fun," he said reassuring her.
"I better go. Husband alert. See you guys soon."
"Bye Maddie," said Lucie and she hung up.
They soon landed and got out of the plane. Lucie had called Jeff and warned him what they were up to. Jeff had agreed to play along as what his sons had done was wrong. He had found the revenge plan highly amusing as well. Lucie and Scott got out and were instantly pulled into a hug by their grandma and then Jeff. He had become a little more affectionate with his family after almost losing some of them recently. They headed up to the lounge to greet the others. Scott put on an angry face and Lucie had to fight desperately hard not to laugh at him. Maddie came over and greeted them both. She gave them a conspiring grin and then stepped back.
"Uh hi Scott," said Virgil nervously.
"Hm," replied Scott and turned away from his brothers. He really wanted to laugh at their worried faces and he could see Lucie and Maddie were having a hard time not to as well.
"Look Scott we are really sorry about what happened," said Alan trying to get Scott to talk to them. He had never seen Scott look so annoyed.
"Sure you are," said Scott the venom dripping out of his voice.
"We really are bro. It was just some harmless fun," added Gordon.
"How was that harmless or fun," said Scott angrily.
"It was just a way to get you two talking again. We didn't think it would backfire like this," said Virgil. He hated having Scott hate him so much.
"No you didn't think. How do you think Becca felt being used like that. You are all pathetic and I can't bear to look at you," he yelled and stalked out of the room. Lucie stood up and went after him. Maddie stayed watching Virgil, Gordon and Alan look more worried.
"He is really mad," said Gordon.
"Can you blame him?" asked Maddie.
"I guess not. We are going to have to do some serious grovelling to him," added Virgil.
"You sure are. I am going to see how he is," said Maddie and practically ran out of the room.
Inside Scott's room she found him and Lucie laughing away and she had to join them. When they finally calmed down the all grinned at each other.
"This is going to be so much fun. I just wish John was here to enjoy it," said Lucie. John was hardly ever around to enjoy practical jokes.
"Alan is relieving him tomorrow so he soon will be," said Maddie.
"Great. We can get John in as well," said Scott feeling happier then he had in a long time.
"So what's next?" asked Maddie.
"Becca is going to send them an email confirming our story and then the fun really begins," said Scott with an evil grin and they all burst out laughing again.
