Chapter 9
IN THE BEATEN, CORVETTE MUSCULAR CAR…
Maven: Well, that was a scare!
Kyle: I know. That was just so unexpected. How's Bradley?
Maven: He was screaming so loud, I had to put his pacifier in his mouth. He's finally settling down now.
Kyle: You still kept that thing? It's for babies not children who are 3.
Maven: To me, he's still a baby until he's 7 years old.
Kyle: So you'll put that in his mouth even though he's a 6 year old boy?
Maven: Oh gracious no! Once he's five, he won't need it anymore.
Kyle: I understand. So why are you heading to Albany?
Maven: Didn't that car chase tell you anything? They want to capture both me and Bradley.
Kyle: For what reason?
Maven: I'm sorry but those questions are personal.
Kyle: Okay. I'll respect that boundary.
Maven: Thank-you. *she slowly rocked Bradley back and forth, calming him down a whole lot* Well at least your wound isn't gushing with blood. *she rubbed his arm gently and kissed his cheek*
Kyle: Oh great.
Maven: What's wrong now?
Kyle: That S.W.A.T. truck is up ahead, blocking our passage.
Maven: The other way's open…
Kyle: Yes but it's obviously a trap. He's blocking one way so we have to go the other way which leads to a trap.
Maven: Don't tell me that you're going to…
Kyle: Yes I am! Brace yourselves! *he put the Corvette into high gear and slammed into the armored truck which spiraled out of the way*
Maven: You're no better than that police car Decepticon!
Kyle: Well I don't want you to get captured now do I nor do I want to smash into at least six cars blocking one entrance. I prefer smashing into the one vehicle only. Simple strategy.
Maven: Hurry up because here comes ole bad news with company! *she gazed her head out the back window and saw the six Decepticons relentlessly chasing them along with the police car*
Kyle: And the police car's back. What are they indestructible?
Maven: Who knows, just get me to the airport!
Kyle: Just driving past security now. I'll drop you off at the door and I'll hold those clowns off.
Maven: You mean now?
Kyle: When you get inside ask for Captain Flannery and tell him you're my friend who needs an immediate flight to Albany. He'll know what to do afterwards.
Maven: Thank-you. I hope we'll see each other soon.
Kyle: I'm sure we will. *he unloaded the trunk and put the bags on an airport trolley* Now go!
Maven: *carrying Bradley in her arms and pushing the trolley, she walked into the terminal* Excuse me. *she asked an airport worker* Do you know where I can find Captain Flannery?
Worker: Just walk that way. See that pilot drinking coffee, that's him.
Maven: Thank-you so much. *she walked over to the pilot* Are you Captain Flannery?
Pilot: No I'm Pinocchio. Yes, I am Captain Flannery. What can I do for you Madame?
Maven: My name is Maven and this is my son Bradley. I'm a friend of Kyle Smithers. I need an immediate flight to Albany, New York. The only cargo is these four suitcases.
Flannery: Of course I can give you an immediate flight since you are friends with my best friend. What could I say? It's free for any friend of any of my friends.
Maven: Perhaps you have a first aid kit?
Flannery: Indeed I do, for what reason?
Maven: On my way here, we were chased by these crazy lunatics. One of them shot my son Bradley in the arm…
Flannery: By a gun?
Maven: Yes.
Flannery: Is the bullet still in there?
Maven: Yes but I can't go to the hospital because…
Flannery: I need a medic right here stat!
Maven: It's not that big of an emergency. He just needs a bandage for now and we'll go to the hospital in Albany.
Medic: Someone needed a medic?
Flannery: Yes. This young boy was shot in the arm by some crazy lunatics on their way here.
Medic: I should phone 9-1-1!
Maven: That won't be necessary. He just needs a bandage for the flight then we were going to go to the hospital in Albany once we arrived.
Medic: Another words you want an ambulance standing by for when you arrive?
Maven: Yes.
Medic: Would you like someone to accompany you on the flight to Albany?
Maven: That would be nice.
Flannery: Alright then come with me. I'll show you The Soaring Eagle. *he took her luggage and walked over to a beautiful Cessna Citation X aircraft*
Maven: It most definitely earned the name The Soaring Eagle!
Flannery: Yes it has and I say it is the finest aircraft to ever fly passengers across the United States!
Maven: Remarkable! *Flannery loaded the suitcases into the cargo area*
Flannery: Let's be on our way! *Maven walked up the steps, carrying Bradley and was followed by the medic*
*Maven sat down in one of the seats and put Bradley in the seat beside her and buckled his seatbelt with the help of the medic*
Flannery: This is Captain Flannery your pilot for the flight from Springfield airport to Albany International Airport. The flight will have some slight turbulence included and will be a bit shaky. The current time is 14:57 hours and we expect to arrive at AIA at 20:42 hours. Please keep your seats buckled for whenever we are taking-off, landing, and experiencing turbulence. When the seatbelt sign is not showing above you, you have permission to remove your seatbelt but it is requested that you remain in your seat. I hope you enjoy your flight and thank-you for choosing The Soaring Eagle Airways.
Maven: All the best to you too, Captain.
AT THE AIRPORT IN SPRINGFIELD; OUTSIDE THE TERMINAL…
Kyle: Frenzy to Blackout. Come in Blackout.
Blackout: This is Blackout. Go ahead Frenzy.
Kyle: The objective is leaving Springfield and heading to Albany.
Blackout: Did you pretend to help them out?
Kyle: Affirmative. It was like taking candy from a little baby!
Blackout: What of the pretend blockade?
Kyle: The strategy worked out perfectly. Barricade pretended to get crushed by a rock from Cryotek. Payload and Swindle did their jobs well too. I'm think that they got a little carried away though.
Blackout: Did she take the bait?
Kyle: Affirmative sir. The sparrow ate the poison.
Blackout: She believed the fake letter?
Kyle: Affirmative. It will not be long until we have that Maximal in our hands.
Blackout: And I will be sure to share your part of the setup with Lord Megatron. The Decepticons will win this war and will take over the universe.
Kyle: *ripped off the Siberian tiger disguise revealing Frenzy* The Decepticons will prevail!
Blackout: What time will they arrive at?
Frenzy: At 20:42 hours sir.
Blackout: Excellent!
Frenzy: Long live Megatron! Frenzy out.
