Chapter 9

"Thank you, both of you. My brother and I understand that you don't have to assist us any further and yet you choose to." Sara said with a smile which I returned.

"You're welcome and don't worry were going to get you guys home. Promise." Alex reassured her and turned to Jack.

"I'll be right back. Lay low." She told jack and then disappeared into the crowd.

"She finds you attractive, Jack Bruno." Sara piped in as he watched her walk away. He turned to Sara with a very big smirk.

"Really?" He asked.

"And that you're smarter than you think you are." She remarked. I rolled my eyes at Uncle Jack. Why must you encourage him, Sara?!

"So she was thinking about me?" He said and went back to staring in the direction she had disappeared in.

"At least as much as you're thinking about her." Sara remarked. Jack opened his mouth, but I dragged had had enough so I dragged Sara away and hit Jack over the head.

"Don't let it make your head big, Uncle Jack." I scolded.

"Should we go upstairs now?" Seth asked. About midway through his sentence his voice cracked pretty badly. Someone's experiencing puberty. I let out a fit of giggles which received the death stare.

"I think it's cute, hot shot." I commented and laughed as his cheeks turned a rosy red.

"Ya lets go upstairs." Jack muttered. So we did what we were told and headed upstairs. I follow behind Seth and he looks back every once in a while to make sure I'm still there. Sara spots a theatrical play going on and we all decide to check it out.

"I sure hope we have enough fuel to get back to earth, Conrad." A (very unattractive) girl cried out. Both she and the man with her looked like idiots and dork up their green "space" suits.

"Fear not celest. We must get to the ship." The dude cried out. Just then on cue this guy came out in a monster costume. The noises he was making made me cringe. I looked up at Sara and Seth to surprising see they were watching it with full attention.

"My leg." The women cried and fell dramatically to the ground.

"Oh no look at that beast from another galaxy." The man beside her exclaimed. Yeah usually when a beast appears its not from the same galaxy. When I felt a hand appear suddenly on my back I spun around faster than a scared cat. To my relief it was only Uncle Jack.

"Didn't I tell you three to stay by my side?" He asked/scolded. I shrugged to him and turned back to the play.

"Is this a reenactment of an important piece of earth's history?" Sara asked.

"No and thank goodness it's not." I muttered.

"Let's get going." Jack said and started to lead us out of the crowd. I started to walk away with him when I heard Sara gasp. I turned around to see what the idiots on stage were doing when I realized we had a visitor. Omg it's a beast form another planet!

"Uncle Jack!" I exclaimed. Yes, the droid had returned and was now raising its very deadly power gun right towards us.

"Sara, do something!" Seth yelled. Sara didn't waist anytime and forcing the stage lighting down onto the droid. The giant lights hit square on and sent it flying into a small bill board.

"Let's go, let's go!" Jack yelled and pushed us through the crowd. When we finally got our footing we took off. I'm not sure where we were going, but all I knew was we had to find Alex and get out of here. We came to a door backstage and Uncle Jack opened it and motioned for us to go through.

"Now we're in Vegas." I whispered as we walked through aisle after aisle of token machine and gambling game. I thought for sure we were in the clear. We were so close to the exit door you would not imagine! Then Mr. Agent had to ruin it. Mr. Wolf showed up with an incredible smirk on his face as he blocked our path. I'm sure he though we would surrender. Ha, in your dreams. I turned and pushed everyone back the way we came which was also blocked. They pretty much had us surrounded by now.

"Sara, are you listening to what I'm thinking." Jack asked. She nodded and balled her hand into a fist. Every machine in the place started going crazy! Bells and whistles were blowing; people were screaming for joy, it basically became utter chaos. I smiled and turned to them only to find an isle full of random people.

"You have got to be kidding me!" I pretty much yelled and took off. I could barely make out Jacks head as he ran along the aisle with Seth and Sara.

"Wait, Jess!" I heard Seth yell.

"Seth come back!" Uncle Jack's voice followed. I smiled knowing he had started looking for me. I rushed along the aisles looking for him. When I came to a cross corner I paused trying to figure out which way to go. Well two ways were blocked off by incoming agent workers.

"Jess watch out!" I turned to see Seth running towards me down another isle. I took one step towards him before his words processed. I turned down the only isle left just in time to see a ball of blue fire hurtling my way. On instinct I tensed and held firm as it hit me straight in the stomach and sent me flying. I landed on my side with a huff as the air left my lungs. All I could focus on was the droid as it stood over me. Well it stood over me for a few seconds before it was knocked out of the way by one angry Seth. He sent it flying with a hit of his arm. He helped me up and we went back to running, well him running me trying to stay on my feet the whole time. We finally caught up with Uncle Jack, Sara, and thankfully Alex.

"What happened?" Uncle Jack demanded as I pretty much collapsed in front of him. My side and my stomach area hurt like hell.

"She got hit by the syphon. We need to get out." Seth said frantically.

"Alright I'll carry her. Now go!" Uncle Jack said as I felt him lift me up. By now I was barely hanging on. My vision started to tunnel and the pain got worse.

"What happened to laying low?" Alex asked as we ran through the nearest exit.

"Nobody lays low in Vegas, baby!" Jack yelled at her which caused me to smile. That was the last thing I heard before I blacked out.
