I was thinking bout how the rest of this story was gonna go and when I was reading the two sneak previews I realized...We still have a lot of ground to cover.
Jet was in Lilly's office while she did more research. She was trying her hardest to figure out what they had used to poison him. Whatever it was, it messed with his brain and that was NOT good.
"Hey baby. Have you had any bad headaches lately?" She asked sleepily.
"Yeah. Mostly at night."
"Ok..." She signed heavily. "I just can't figure it out."
"Why don't your work on something else for a while? Maybe you just need a break."
"Alright...why don't I try to figure out what went on with my dad."
"Ok hun." He said placing his hands on here shoulders and giving them a tight squeeze. "I have to go to my office for a minute. I'll be back in a minute."
"Ok." She pulled out the attack of others the cop had given her a few days ago.
He asked down the halls of the EPF. It was getting late, around 10:00. Most of the lights on the hallways were dimmed to save money of the electric bill when most of the agents weren't there. He turned the key into his office and enters, flicking the lights on. He wanted over to his desk and turned on the computer. Firing up a program, he plugged in a small metal square connected with an adapter. A blinking dot appeared on a map and he used the mouse to click on it. Coordinates appeared on the screen as well as an address and a name.
"Rockwell county prison." He muttered to himself. On his spy phone, he wrote that down and disconnected the cube from the computer. He walked back to Lilly's office to find her almost in tears. She was just about finished with her reaearch about her father.
"Woah..baby what's wrong?" He asked putting one hand on her back and the other on her hand that was rested on the desk she was standing by.
"I can't believe it...all this time I-"
"What?" He demanded.
"The last year my dad was ever around he would abuse us and stuff. He only seemed to do it when he drank which made some sense. But, what we didn't know is what made him abuse us wasn't him."
"I don't understand."
"Someone was giving him mind control. Whoever did it could only control him when he drank because he wasn't in full control of his brain. Now I just want to know why..."
"Is there a way to figure it out?"
"No. At least not anymore."
"What does that mean?"
"I killed the guy who mind controlled my dad and "recreated" my sister."
"Its the same guy that created that xerox of Lottie?"
"Yup."
"I've gotta stop asking so many questions."
"You've gotta check yourself." They laughed a little as Lilly shut down her computers. She turned to him and smiled. He smirked and took her hand.
"I love you honey." She said.
"Love you too snuggle bear." He said softly and kissing her on her forehead.
"Wanna go home now?"
"Mmhmm." He hummed as he hugged her, slowly swaying side to side. They took the time to walk through the island to get to the igloos. Some of the trees were decorated with orange and purple lights for Halloween. Some little penguins in costumes were running around trying to scare each other. One of the older girls, probably in her 20's that was watching a younger, approached them.
"Hey! Blondy!" She said.
"Me?"
"Yeah you. You were the one that hurt my uncle. You bombed the plaza!" (Uhhhg I thought peeps were over this!) Jet put his arm around her shoulder.
"That wasn't my fault!"
"Yes it was!" She said stepping closer.
"That was forever ago!"
"And I'm still mad!" She said punching her shoulder.
"Hey!" Jet said stepping forward. Male penguin approached.
"Hey Bree. Is this guy giving you trouble?" She smirked.
"Yes as a matter of fact he is." She said. He grabbed Jet's arm before he could think and punched him in the face.
"Keep your hands off my lady!"
"I wasn't doing anything!" Guy defended himself.
"Hmm how do YOU like it." He said going over to Lilly and toying with her hair.
"HEY! I never even went near your girl!" He shouted angrily. He punched the man in the face then stomach. The man ran and shoved Lilly over, took Bree's hand, and left. "I'm sorry baby." Jet said hugging Lilly.
"It's fine." She mumbled.
"Man, I thought people would be over that." Jet said. They safely continued their way to Lilly's house. Jet quickly teleported to his igloo to change into a t-shirt and shorts and get a pillow and blanket. Lilly didn't have much money and only had a thin sheet on her bed. She never liked to talk about her lack of money because it embarassed her.
When he returned, she was already in her pajamas and was taking her hair out of a loose ponytail. He put his pillow by the arm of the small couch in the corner of Lilly's room, and the blanket next to it. He looked up and Lilly was sitting on the edge of her bed smiling at him.
"What?" He asked chuckling.
"Come here." He said holding her arms out. He went over and she put her hands on his waist and he put his on her torso underneath her arms. She smiled and looked into his eyes. She rubber her flipper against his cheek then placed it on the back of his neck. He was smiling back at her and he pulled her into a long, deep kiss.
"I love you." He said in a low voice. "You don't know how much you mean to me. You're...everything to me. Do you know how loney I was before you?" She blushed and looked down.
"Mmmm get in bed you." She said giving him a little noogie. He chuckled and layed down on the couch.
Dawww... So, you've been banished to the couch huh?
