Catching Up
"When did this happen?!" Connor said surprised.
"When you were on your Germany trip." Bob said.
"We were gonna tell you when you got back. But you never did." Charlotte said. "Stacey can you finish reading them the story?"
"Yeah sure. I would love to." Stacey said and sat down in the chair and began reading the book. Charlotte, Bob and the twins walked out of the room and closed the door.
"How about we talk about this more over lunch?" Charlotte suggested.
"Oh yes please!!" Connor said. "I'm starving." They all walked out of the hospital and got into Bobs car. They all drive until they were in front of a restaurant called the Bread Bowl soups and salads. They all got out of the car and got a table.
"So how have two been lately. Since I don't hear from you often." Charlotte said.
"Sorry. We haven't kept you updated mom." Alex said.
"Your forgiven Alex. It's your brother I'm pointing my finger at." Charlotte said.
"Connor Jonathan Bailey...how could you runaway from the school trip. And with Bree!" Charlotte said. "Her parent are blaming us for what happened."
"I'm sorry, but Bree wanted to go." Connor said.
"That's what she said. But her parents didn't believe her. So they grounded her, and took all of her privileges away. If you would have come home, I would have done the same." Charlotte said.
"And to top it all off. You two kidnapped a helpless little boy." Bob said.
"I'm so sorry guys, It will never happen again." Connor said.
"We hope not." Bob said. Just then a young man no older than 18 came over to there table. He had blond and brown hair and blue eyes, and had a nose ring. He was looking at his phone texting someone when he came over.
"Hi guys. What can I get for you for today." The man said still on his phone.
"Hi Mo." Charlotte said. He then looked up from his phone.
"Oh hey guys. Sorry I'm just waiting for a text." Mo said.
"Oh, well guys this is Mo. Bree's cousin." Bob said
"You must be Connor." Mo said and looked at him.
"Yup how you doin." Connor said. Mo then slammed his hands in the table.
"Ok cupcake. Where is my cousin?!" Mo said.
"What?" Connor asked wondering what was going on.
"Bree, she's been missing for a week." Mo said.
"What! She's gone." Charlotte said surprised.
"Yeah she didn't come home from school." Mo said. "Now listen kid. I have been to prison 5 times. So we can do it the easy way or the hard way." Mo then cracked his knuckles. Connor gulped. He was never so scared in his life.
"Ok Mo, retract your claws." A voice said from behind him. He turned around and saw three girls.
The tallest one looked about Alex and Connors age and had blonde curly hair with a silver headband and blue eyes and wore a red shirt dress and silver heals.
The second one was a little bit shorter than the tall one and had short black hair and had brown eyes and wore a pair of glasses. And wore a blue skirt and a white long sleeve shirt and a blue tie with some black shoes and knee high white socks.
Then the smallest one looked about 11 years old and had long brown hair with a streak of pink in it had and brown eyes. She wore a pair of ripped jeans and a leather jacket and a shirt that read "I'm trouble" in big bold words.
"Hello girls." Charlotte said.
"Hi." The oldest one said. "Mo go give the chef their order. And we'll eat while we're here as well."
"Our usual. Don't mess it up...again." The youngest one said and cracked her knuckles.
"Why don't you girls pull up some seats and eat with us." Charlotte said. The three girls pulled up some chairs and sat down.
"Hi." The oldest said to the twins. "I don't think we've met you. I'm Lucy Taylor, but you can call me L.T. The one with the glasses is Jenny. And the little one is Gabby."
"I'm Connor and this is my sister Alex." Connor said.
"These are Bree's sisters." Bob said.
"Your Bree's sisters." Connor said.
"Got a problem with that." Gabby said.
"No, no problem." Connor said.
"We would apologize for Mo. He's a little over protective when it comes to us." Jenny said
"It's ok. I don't think I'm protective enough with my kids." Charlotte said and looked at the twins.
"So anyways. My mom wanted to invite you to two to dinner." L.T said.
"Really, well we'd love to." Charlotte said.'
"You guys are invited to if you want." Gabby said.
"No thanks. We have some work to do." Alex said.
"What kind of work?" Gabby asked suspiciously.
"Yeah." Charlotte asked.
"Just some stuff." Alex said.
"Like calling up all of our old friends and saying hi." Connor said. Alex rolled her eyes and thought to herself, really, that's what you came up with."
"Alex where did you get that dress. It's so cute." L.T asked.
"Um, um.." Alex said. "I made it."
"You are very talented then." L.T said.
"Thanks." Alex said and smiled. They all talked and talked. After they ate their food. They all went home. When Charlotte, Bob, and The twins got in their house Charlotte sat them down on the couch.
"Ok, I want the truth and I want it now." Charlotte said.
"Ok we really don't need to call up all our old friends." Connor said.
"Oh we know that." Bob said.
"Ok you deserve the truth." Alex said. Alex explained everything that happened right from the beginning. About the masked man, going into Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz. Then Connor explained about how they got separated. Connor told about his story about Sherwood Forest, and Alex told about her story in Camelot, and she left a few details out. Then she explained how they needed Connors stories.
"So that's what you've been doing this entire time." Charlotte said. Alex and Connor nodded. Charlotte sat down in one of the chairs across from the twins.
"Mom yell at us or something." Connor said.
"I'm not." Charlotte said wiping away a tear. "Now I have a secret with you. I knew your father had a brother. He told me on our fifth date. That's also the date he told he was from another world. Anyways, he told me that he was very evil. And would do anything to destroy everything in the world he lived in. And now that I've heard about what two have been through...I now notice that you two have grown more than I thought you had. Your father would very proud." The twins ran over to her and hugged her. Charlotte started crying again.
"Mom can please stop. We already went through all of this with Goldilocks." Connor said. Charlotte laughed a little and wiped away her tears.
"Connor your stories are up stairs in your room." Charlotte said.
"But do it tonight when it's dark, so no one can see you." Bob said.
"Ok, thanks." Alex said. They all then heard a noise outside. "What was that?"
"It was probably just a fat squirrel." Connor said.
Outside the house, L.T, Jenny, and Gabby were hiding in the bushes listening to the entire conversation through an open window they forgot to close.
"We've got to go tell them." Jenny said. The sisters all ran out of the bushes and ran out of the neighborhood and into a dark ally.
"Ok, we found out some information." L.T said. The Book Huggers and Mrs.Peters came out of the shadows.
"What did you find out?" Cindy asked.
"First the cash." Gabby said. Mrs. Peters got 50 dollars out of her pocket and gave it to her. Gabby looked at it to make sure it wasn't counterfeit. She nodded her head when she finished looking it over.
"Now spill." Mrs. Peters said.
