Why Bother? Chapter III : Invasion

"Why didn't you tell us?" I ask Dylan. "I thought you knew. Now can I eat?" he replies, clearly not caring about the fact that we now know. It pisses me off. "YOU HAVE BROTHERS AND YOU NEVER TOLD US," I yelled in his ear. He puts his hand on his ears. "I'm not deaf you know," he snapped back. "I know," I reply. We have an ultimate stare down. "And...voila," Chloe comes out of no where, breaking the competition. "I'm done with dinner! I made soup!" A burning smell hits my nose. "I never even knew that it was possible," I say as I sit down at the table. "What was possible?" Chloe immediately looks at me eagerly for a reply. "I never knew it was possible to mess up making soup," I reply bluntly. I take a sip and spit it out indicating that her soup is bad. "OH GOD CHLOE! How?" "I don't think it's bad," she replies as if I don't know what I'm talking about. Jade flinches as she sips a bit. Even Jade doesn't like it. She usually bears with it, but this time... "I don't think it's bad," Dylan says, taking Chloe's side. "You're right!" I reply. He smiles. "It's worse than bad!" I say. His smile turns in to a frown. "If you like it that much, have all of it!" I challenge him. "I will!" he replies confidently and starts to sip away. Someone's going to have a bad stomach for a while. I smirk as I watch him struggle to gulp it down. "Ok. We need a plan," I start, trying to ignore Dylan's funny faces. We all sat in silence (except for Dylan) as I thought of our plan. I finally come up with one. "Jade, you find out exactly where the cameras are located and when would be the best time to strike. Chloe, you stay at home and watch after Dylan while giving us information of anyone who may disturb us using the security cameras. Jade and I will break in, find a way to convince them to come with us and take them. We must bring them here by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Got it?" I command. Jade nods her head. "Aww...I don't get to join in?" Chloe whines. "What are you-five?" I snap.

"No!" she immediately replies. "Hold on. You're kidnapping my brothers?" Dylan asks, suddenly aware of what we were trying to do. "Yes, it makes life harder for Mali so he can focus on finding us the information. We even have enough room for two more people," I reply as if it was obvious. I put my dish away and Jade follows. "Check if everyone in the household is asleep," I tell Jade. She goes on to her laptop, types for a while and holds a thumbs up. It's clear. I put an ear piece on Jade and I. This is so that we can communicate with Chloe. "It's all decided. We set out NOW," I say as I pull Jade towards the door. Finally, some action. We walk outside of the building. The view was breath taking. The brilliant, white moon contrasted against the pitch black sky. Sprinkles of white were scattered across the sky as shining stars. I found myself lost in to the sky, but Jade pulled me back on track. There's no time to waste! Jade and I hop in to our black motorcycles. We speed off to 47 Bethesda Street. "We're here!" I call to Jade indicating for her to slow down. We both park our motorcycles in an alleyway nearby. I examine the building. The building was a mansion. It had two bodyguards guarding the front gate. All along the border was an electric fence. Mali must be one rich man. "If we want to make this clean, we shouldn't take out the bodyguards. They must have a way of communicating with the household," I say as I look around for another way of getting in. Jade points to something. Glimmering in the moonlight was a tree. I catch on to what she's trying to say. Perfect. We both silently make it to the tree. I climb it. I make sure to check each branch before I put my weight on it. Suddenly, a branch snaps. I look down below and Jade looks pale. That's when I notice it. [if !supportLineBreakNewLine] [endif]
