Chapter 6
Worse then Algebra
Dad wasn't talking to us he spent most of the car ride talking in a hushed voice in what sounded like another language on his cell phone. …. Odd Dad didn't speak any other language fluently enough to hold a conversation in…. as far as they knew.
"Where are we going?" Natalie leaned over and whispered to her sister.
"I have no clue." Lucy replied, almost as soon as the girls got into their car, their dad got on his cell phone, he didn't give them any explanation. There was something … odd… about Dad. Also where was mom? Was something wrong with Mom? Were we going to the hospital? The girls knew better then to interrupt their dad on the phone when he was speaking quietly, they learned that at an earlier age. It was unlike their Dad to leave them in the dark about anything. It must have been something serious for him not to inform them.
All of a sudden the twins realized they were leaving the city…where were they going? Hickman Air Base? Pearl Harbor? If so why did the twins need to accompany their dad… they continued to drive, and their dad stayed on the phone not offering any explanation. They both started to get a little worried, and had no clue where they were going. They finally pulled up to an old airstrip, it was used to repair planes during World War Two, now was a private air strip that housed a few private jets. The car pulled up next to a private jet sitting out on the tarmac, the engines running. They watched as three civilians emerged from the aircraft, what was going on? Their dad finally hung up his phone as he cut the engine to the car; the civilians approached the car.
"Dad what's going on?" Lucy finally asked
"Get on the plane." He ordered, not offering further explanation, somewhere deep down in the girl's conscience their inner voice was screaming 'don't get on the plane', but the girls ignored it. They got out slowly, wondering what was going on. They stopped halfway to the plane and turned back to their dad who was still standing back by the car talking to the third men. The girls weren't sure what it was whether it was his mannerisms, as he talked to the man, or the way when he smiled it wasn't his famous 'flyboy grin' as their mom calls it. Maybe it was the awkward car ride, but just then something triggered simultaneously in the twins that this wasn't their dad, and something was dead wrong. Just then their 'dad' looked up at them, he smiled at them. "Don't worry girls get on the plane I will shortly follow." The twins didn't budge, there 'dad's smile turned to a frown.
"What's going on?" Demanded Natalie.
"Where is mom?" Asked Lucy.
"And why do we have to get on this plane?" Added Natalie.
"Girls just do what I ask and get on the plane I'll explain later." Both twins shock their head's 'no' in direct defiance of their father. His face's complexion turned a tint of red. "I don't have time for this." He snarled, totally out of character of Harm, the final straw of proof that he was not their father. He signaled to the other two civilians who were escorting the twins onto the plane; before the twins could resist the men grabbed them dragging them onto the plane. The twins tried to resist twisting their bodies in self-defense maneuvers their mom taught them. The men must have expected this because they had maneuvers to counteract theirs; before the twins could escape they were forced onto the plane. The third man and their 'dad' bordered the plane and closed the door, they looked over into the cockpit and watched as a pilot and co-pilot started to take off. The twins, despite being held down by the men, still tried to get out of their hold, their 'dad' laughed.
"You two are no doubt the children of Harm and Mac, you two are just as resistant and stubborn as they are!" The plane began to take off; he smiled in satisfaction, the twins, exhausted by their efforts and knew that it was hopeless now, collapsed back against their seats. "Good girls." He praised.
"Who are you? How do you know our parents? What do you want from us?" The twins demanded the man just laughed.
"I go by Palmer, I'm an old friend of your father's and I am planning a little reunion, and I know your father will come, he will come to rescue his daughters." The color in the twin's faces drained, they felt sick as they learned the truth.
"You're using us as a trap?" They whimpered.
"You two are a bright pair." He complimented stroking their identical cappuccino brunette hair, the girls tried to pull away from him, but this only frustrated him more and he yanked on their hair pulling them towards him. "Cute." Was all he said before releasing their hair. Natalie looked out the window and realized they were now over the Pacific.
"Where are you taking us?" Natalie inquired, he turned to look out the window and smiled.
"I have a great house, in Mexico have you two ever been there?" The twins did not respond, and he did not wait, he went up to the cockpit and did not return for the rest of the flight. Both twins were holding back tears, they wanted their mom so bad they wished she was here to hold them, protect them, and tell them everything would be alright.
"This is worse then algebra class." Lucy whispered trying to crack a joke; she saw a smile tugging at the corner of Natalie's mouth.
"We're going to be ok right?" Natalie whispered back.
"Yeah, Dad is going to rescue us don't worry." Lucy assured more for herself then her sister, the twins had a superman complex for their father…there only hope was that he could fulfill it.
That's it for now if I get a lot of reviews I may post another chapter by the end of this weekend, and it will be from Harm and Mac's POV, so please review!
