Here we are in the 5th chapter of this short story! So this one was a little hard to write but I'm happy with the results, I hope you guys are too! ENJOY :)
We went through the front room of the hotel an Ada seemed to be walking faster but she had noticed I sometimes had a hard time keeping up so she grabbed my hand and dragged me along.
I have to say that as I now knew her she seemed different, unlike the spy I had met the day before, she had changed. She buckled me in once again, then she got in and we drove away.
Ada seemed panicky; she looked through the mirror and back at me every time we stopped at a traffic light or stop sign.
The airport was really close because I saw a sign that had a picture of a plane and at the bottom it said 9 minutes. The drive was boring because Ada was focused on the road, so I tried to look out the window to distract myself.
When we got there, I helped Ada with her bags and she grabbed me by the hand and we walked inside the large airport. I only remember being here once or twice to pick up my aunt Jun when she came to see my mom and me but other than that I hadn't come here often.
"Wow." The airport was really big and really pretty too, there were windows everywhere. It was really full too. Ada and I walked up to a counter and she talked with a lady for a while then she handed her bags over but she kept a really small one, I didn't hand anything over though.
After that Ada and I took those moving stairs to the second floor where we passed through something called security. I had to take my shoes off and put my backpack there. Then a man holding a metal stick told me to stretch my arms out passed the metal stick over my body, I thought something cool was gonna happen but nothing. The security man later had me walk under a large metal thing, I looked like the entry of a house but had no door. After I walked under it, nothing happened again.
Ada did the same thing after I did, so I watched but still nothing. After all of that Ada took me to the food part of the airport because I was hungry, she bought me a subway sandwich, it was too big for me so we shared it.
I later asked Ada if we could go to the stores and she agreed to take me. It was a gift shop filled with clothes, toys and other things.
"Can I help you with anything?" A woman asked Ada, Ada was looking at some shirts.
"Yes, I wanted one for my son but I don't see his size, is there a size smaller?" She asked looking over to me.
"I'll take a look in the back." Ada nodded and walked over to me and whispered in my ear.
"Just play along with whatever I say okay?"
"You got it mom." I was playing along like she said. She chuckled and then the lady came back and she had five pair of shirts.
"Here you go ma'am, oh is this your son?" She said handing Ada the shirts.
"Yes he is." The lady smiled and I did too.
"He's a handsome one." I felt myself get warm in the face and I couldn't look at the lady in the eyes.
"Yes, he takes after his father, more than me." I looked at Ada who smirked at me. "Liam do you want anything, quickly now," She looked at her watch and then back at me. "The plane leaves in half an hour."
I ran around the store looking for something but then I saw what I wanted. It was in a glass case, a 3DS. Ada walked over to me and I looked at her, "I need this mom." I begged.
"You're taking advantage of the situation but it is a long ride to London so, what color?" I looked at the red and blue one but I couldn't choose, both colors were very nice. "I'll take the red one." Ada told the lady. She just decided the color, why did she even ask me?
The lady took the things and packed them but before that Ada also bought me a new backpack , it was red and blue. So the lady stuffed all of my things inside the new backpack and gave it to me. I waved goodbye to her and Ada and I made our way to the place where you get on the planes, she told me it was called a terminal.
"Liam, I need to go check something do mind sitting here don't move until I come back." I nodded and sat in a uncomfy black chair.
"Finally I see the terminal!" I looked up and there she was, my mom. I knew Ada told me not to move but I ducked under a counter like thing and hid there but I was peeking from a corner. I saw Ada bump into her accidentally and then Ada looked back for me but ran off into the bathroom.
I saw my mom with my aunt Jun looking for something then a lady from the counter came up to me. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm playing hide and seek with my brother but I promise not to touch anything." I said smiling. She stared at me and then she nodded.
Just then I heard my mom's voice really close and footsteps coming closer. "Where is this plane headed?" My mom asked. I peeked from behind the counter wall to see her, she was wearing something on her right arm. Which was tied around her neck. She didn't look alright to me.
"It's headed to London." The lady answered.
"Are there any tickets left?" My mom said.
"No I'm sorry this is a private plane." The lady sounded annoyed now.
"Jun!" My mom yelled, my aunt came running from across the hallway. She took out her soldier badge and showed the lady.
"What's wrong with you she works for the government." I could tell my mom was angry, her voice wasn't calm anymore, it was raised and strong much like when I did something bad.
"I already told you miss this is a private plane."
My mom took out a phone and called someone. "This lady won't let me pass." She said making the word lady clear. My mom was definitely stressed. I don't know what the person she was talking to her said but she was angrier when she hung up.
"Alright look lady my son is missing and I believe he is about to board this specific airplane." The lady lowered her eyebrows making and angry face.
"Miss, if you don't leave this instant I'll call security." This wasn't good, I honestly wish I could come out from behind the counter and hug her and say I'm here and I don't want to leave you. I missed her so much, Ada was fun and all but my mommy is the most important person to me.
"Don't you understand," my mom said sadly, " my son-" she begged.
"Selene, let's go no-" my aunt Jun said interrupting her.
"Don't you UNDERSTAND!" My mom yelled at the lady and I saw my aunt put her arms around her as if she was stopping my mom from attacking the lady.
"Selene, let's go." My aunt said, I saw her take my mom to the black chairs across the room to sit down. The lady started calling people over to get on the plane.
I had to leave my mom something so I quickly wrote her a letter telling her everything I wanted to tell her. Someone tapped me as I was folding the letter, Ada. She had put on a long black wig and even changed her clothes too.
"She didn't see you did see you did she?" Ada asked worried.
"No." I said sadly.
"We should get going while there not looking." Ada picked me up but before I left I put my letter on the counter, where the lady could see it and give it to her.
The last look I saw of my mom was that of her slumping and sobbing on the chair with my aunt Jun patting her on the back and that made me feel empty and terrible.
A/N:What did you guys think?
Ada and her disguises, (changing all the time.) Well that's Ada...
That last bit was hard to write because I was trying to portray the correct amount of sentiment for a 7 year old boy who adores his mother and hates this situation that was forced upon him.
This chapter accompanies Chapter 9 called Airport of my other story Confronting The Past, check it out if you haven't already! These both chapters complete each other.
Well, I hoped I pleased you all with this chapter, thank you for your continuous support, keep it up guys!
Happy Friday! :D
