Chapter Three

Simon POV

I started the computer, pulled up Skype, and logged in. After it started up, I pulled up the needed contact, and called them. A screen popped up with the picture of my associate.

"Hey, Dad." I said with a smile.

My father -Kit- smiled back, but his dark brown eyes still showed the worry within. "Hey, son."

I felt Derek lean over my shoulder, peering into his camera. He looked intent in the video that displayed on the screen. "Hey."

"Hello. Have you found the people on the list?" he asked.

"We know of a couple, but we've only managed to talk to one." I explained.

"Who?"

"Chloe Saunders."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. I'm going to speak with the others tomorrow."

"How long do we have to get close to them?" Derek asked from a few feet back.

"Not long. I don't know when the Edison group is going to make their move, but I know it's soon. Move quickly but safely. If you have to, lead them to the house and explain everything to the best of your abilities. Leave out the details." Kit replied.

I grinned. "Don't worry. I already now how I'm going to convince them to come with us."

"How's that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

I stood up, gesturing at myself, "Are you kidding me? Who wouldn't want this?"

I saw Derek shake his head in the video on the screen and I turned to him. "Oh, come on. You know they want me."

Derek rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, they want you Simon." Kit said.

I sat back down, smiling. "Oh, I know."

"Okay, back to our previous topic. We can't let the Edison Group get them. It wouldn't be good for the kids at all. I'm trusting you guys to get them here safely, that's why I sent you. You know this. I do need one thing from you though. You have to promise me something." he explained.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Give me your word that you will come back. Even if you can't bring them back with you. I need you to swear to me that you will return safely." The seriousness of his words rang clear.

I nodded, half-smiling. "Come on, Dad. You know we will."

Derek nodded, half-smiling. "Of course, Dad."

"Good. I love you guys."

"Love you too." we replied in unison.

He smiled, and logged off.

The screen went blank, and we were left to worry on our own.
