Chapter 6: The Search
Kieth wakes up and sees Alice still sleeping on his shoulder. Kieth gently moves her head away from his shoulder so he could get up and places her head on the couch. He sees his uncle steering the boat and waves at him. Derek waves back and says, "Did you enjoy your sleep?" He said with a smirk. "It's not like that!It's just that you two were making so much noise it kept me up all night. I had no choice but to find someplace better to sleep in." Kieth said. "Whatever you say Kieth." Kieth just rolls his eyes and asks Derek, "Anyway, are we almost there? I kinda want to stretch my legs when we arrive." "Yeah we should be there soon. Just a few hours from now and we'll be on dry land." Kieth nods his head and goes to check up on Charlie, who is still sleeping in a weird-looking position with his butt pointing up and saliva drooling from his mouth. Kieth starts to think about what to do and then he starts plan on something hilarious on Charlie.
A few minutes later, Kieth slowly grabs Charlie's hand and puts whip cream all over it, draws a target sign on his forehead, and finally grabs a feather to tickle Charlie's face. Kieth tickles Charlie's nose repeatedly and Charlie makes grunting sounds. Eventually he smacks his face and wakes up seeing Kieth smiling. "What is this? Whip cream?!" Kieth starts to run as Charlie tries to get up. Charlie chases Kieth around the yacht with the canister that Kieth used to put on Charlie's hand. Later Kieth gets cornered and Charlie sprays whip cream all over Kieth's head. They both laugh it off and everyone decides to make breakfast. A few minutes later, Derek shouts to everyone and says, "There it is everyone. We have arrived at England." Everyone goes outside and looks at this wonderful place in awe. "Wow. I've never been to England before." Says Kieth. "Me neither." Says Alice. A few minutes later, the yacht docks at the nearest port and everyone disembarks and go to where Derek's contact said to to meet him at, the British library.
The group arrives to their destination by driving there."Where's this contact of yours Derek?" Kieth asks. "He said to meet me here. Spread out and make sure to look for guy with a brown coat with sunglasses and a brown hat." Everyone looks around his contact. A moment later, Charlie finds the contact nearby in the center of the library. He(the contact)signals everyone to come over with a nervous expression on his face. "It's about time you arrived John. This assignment that you gave me was making me nervous." Says Derek's contact. "Why what's the matter? Do you have the information about my daughter?" Says Derek. "Yeah I got the data. What's making me nervous is that I think I've been compromised. Like I've been followed or watched everywhere I go. Some people earlier were following me and I had to go through the alley to see if I could shake them. Who are these people John?" "You we're being followed? That means that whoever is trying to keep their business a secret is probably the ones who are after my daughter, right now I need that information. Do you have it with you?" The contact nods his head, reaches under the table, pulls out a travel bag and reaches inside it.
Then, there was a hole right between the eyes in the back of the head of the contact. Kieth quickly spots a sniper with a black balaclava above them through the widows and shouted, "GET DOWN!"as he flipped the table over and gets shot, cutting his arm. Everyone else was running and screaming as the group uses the table as cover and Kieth groans in pain. "Argh... there's a sniper up top. We have to get out of here." Said Keith as he puts pressure on his wound. "Not without that data!" Said Derek as he tried to reach for the bag across from him, but is pulled back by Charlie just in time before the sniper attempted to shoot him. "What are we gonna do? We're stuck down here." Said Charlie. Alice pulls out a pistol from
her jacket and says, "Here's the plan, I'm gonna Provide cover fire while Derek reaches for the data. And Keith will-" "will settle the score with our sniper. Cover me, I'm going in!" Before Alice could say anything, Kieth started running towards some book cases so she had to had to return fire at the sniper and Derek went after the data. Kieth runs over and sees a sign on a door that shows stairs and ran upstairs. Derek ran back to cover at the bookcases. "Alice, toss me the gun and I'll cover you!" Derek yells to her. Alice nods and throws the gun over to Derek and he fires at the sniper. They run towards Derek and find themselves still pinned by the sniper.
(Kieth's POV)
Kieth reaches the roof and spots the sniper ahead of him. Kieth quietly takes cover and makes his way over to him. When Kieth is close enough, he charges at the sniper and tackles him, catching the sniper off guard. The sniper takes off his mask and shows a man with a ear piece and he says, "Caught me off guard kid, not bad." "Don't call me kid. I'm 26." "And I'm 30, so deal with it." "Really? You look 40 to me." The sniper laughed at that insult. "Good one kid, but let's see if you talk trash when I take you out."

The man then runs at Kieth with such speed that Kieth couldn't react in time to defend himself from his punches. Kieth tries to jab at the sniper, but the sniper catches the punch as throws Kieth to the ground by pulling him over his shoulder. Kieth manages to knock the guy down by swiping behind the sniper's legs. They both get back up and the sniper says, "Heh, not bad kid. But you're gonna have to do better than that." Both Kieth and the sniper charged at each other grab onto each other's shoulders. The sniper overpowers Kieth and throws him onto the glass window, making it crack. The sniper grabs Kieth and attempts to punch him, but Kieth dodges just in time, only to make the window crack more. Kieth then rolls the sniper over, grabs the sniper's pistol, and smashes the window making them both fall down below. The sniper takes the fall and Kieth lands on him as a cushion.

The others rush over to Kieth to check up on him. "Kieth! Are you alright? That was a big drop..." said Derek. "Yeah...it was a rough landing...but I'm not the one who's on the ground." They looked at the sniper's body and Alice took a closer look. When she did, she gasped and put her hands on her mouth shocked. "Alice? What's the matter?" Alice didn't say anything for a while and said, "I know him...even now, I still remember that face..." Charlie then says, "Wait you know this guy? Who is he Alice?" Alice then slowly took her hands away from her mouth and said, "It's Vincent." Kieth eyes suddenly went wide open and saw Alice's old friend that hated her on the ground, lifeless. "Who's Vincent?" Asked Derek. Before anyone could say anything, Vincent's eyes suddenly opened and he got back up as if the fall didn't hurt him. Everyone jumped back and Kieth pointed the gun at Vincent. "I underestimated you kid...you're not half bad. But I'm afraid we're still gonna have to kill ya." Vincent then sees Alice behind Kieth's shoulder and then grows a serious expression on his face. "YOU. I hoped we'd meet again Alice. It has been a while hasn't it?" Says Vincent. "Vincent...why are you here? Why are you trying to kill us?" Says Alice. "Why? Because my employer says that someone has sensitive information about our work and he put me on the job to eliminate the informant and the ones trying to learn about our business. My boss likes to keep things under wraps. I'd never thought that you would be apart of this. Heh heh, it will be killing two birds with one stone for me." Vincent takes a step forward, but Kieth aims directly at Vincent's head. "It's not her fault about what happened to your father Vincent. He was killed only because he refused to give into the cops, so he was killed in the operation. You know what your father did so-" "SHUT UP!!! I knew exactly what my father was doing, and I perfectly understood why! So don't talk to me like you know me..." said Vincent as he reached for his radio and said, "Get over here now!" Then ropes dropped down from the roof and above were mercenaries repelling down and wearing the same uniform as Vincent's(civilian clothing). Kieth then shouts to everyone, "RUN!!!" Tries to shoot some of the mercenaries before running away as well. The group makes their way through the back entrance of the library and gets inside the vehicle and drives off.
(Vincent's POV)
"Run all you want Alice...we'll meet again sooner or later." Vincent speaks to himself then orders his men to chase after them.
