Coming Home
Grace walks around the small white building to it's only window. She peaked in watching the scene inside. The Black Jacket has just walked in. Grace could faintly hear him say, "Let him go."
Death Wish called to his camra man, "Turn it back on." Then he focuses on Jacob. "You found me very quickly, Black Jacket. I'm glad you liked my game so much."
Jacob's frown grows deeper. "Let him go, Death Wish!" He advances toward Death Wish.
"There's no need to act like Moses, my friend." Death Wish grins.
"We are no where close to friends." Jacob growls.
Death Wish's grin fills with anger. He lunges after Jacob. Jacob narrowly escapes. Grace pushes agaisnt the glass harder. The section she puts presure on pops out and shatters in the building. Grace ducks and presses herself to the wall underneath the window. "What was that?" She heard Death Wish ask. "Go check that, Elvis!" He hollers at the camra man. Grace listened to the loud thumps of Elvis's footsteps. They got louder and closer till they suddenly stopped.
"He must see me!" Grace thought as she panics. She hears him leave. Then an arm suddenly pulls her into the building. It drags her to where Death Wish frowns. Behind Death Wish, Calvin stares at the heros with fear in his eyes.
"A new player!" Death Wish grins. "What is your name, Doll?"
Grace jerks out of Elvis's grip. "My name is The Green Goblin."
Death Wish frowns and raises his eyebrows. "What an interesting name?"
"I know right." Jacob laughs. Death Wish joins with him.
"I swear I will beat all of your butts if you don't stop laughing. It's not like your names are better anyway. For example, The Black Jacket. What in the world? Who would name themselves a jacket and a color at the same time?" Grace crosses her arms. Death Wish nods in agreement. "You have an interesting name too, Death Wish. Do you have a death wish or something? Your name sounds like it belongs to a you-tuber who does stupid stuff that no one else in the world would do." She raises her eyebrows.
"That sounded like you were trying to burn us." Jacob frowns. "That's a REALLY sad burn."
Grace frowns at Jacob. "I'm totally going to kick your butt now."
Death Wish grows agitated. "Now that we are done making fun of eachother, let's get this over with."
"Of course." Jacob nods.
"Sorry." Grace apoligizes.
"It's totally fine. Now let's see. Oh, yes, I remember now. Let's play!" Death Wish walks over to a lever and pulls it. "Elvis!" He takes Elvis's place at the camra as Elvis takes his place before the curtain.
The curtain is now fully opened. It reveals a giant convayer belt. Calvin, still tied to the chair, was slowly being pulled on the black machinery. At the end of the belt there is a tank filled with water. "You will complete three tasks to save the young boy. First you will fight the robots. Then you will fight me." Elvis grins and shows of his bulging muscles. "After that you will... Boss, can you change the last one. It won't work with both of them."
"Huh, you're right. Change it to where they fight each other to the death." Death Wish comands.
"I like that idea." Elvis nods with approvel. Jacob and Grace look at each other with fear. "After that you will fight each other to the death!" Elvis's voice echos around the building.
"Let us begin!" Death Wish shouts. Robots fly from the behind the curtain to face Jacob and Grace.
"Get your lipstick!" Jacob yells at her.
She takes out a lipstick from the lipstick belt loop on her suit. "Got it!"
Jacob takes out a lazer gun from a holster on the belt from his suit. "Good!" He shoots at the nearest robot. It falls down immediately. Grace starts to shoot with her lipstick which is also a lazer.
"You must tell me how you made these things!" Grace glances at Jacob, who is still shooting.
"It's called saving money!" Jacob smirks with sarcasm.
"I will shoot you!" Grace frowns shooting down the last robot.
"Sorry." Jacob looks over at Grace sincerly. "Take out the perfume." Grace slips the lipstick back into the small belt loop. Beside the small belt loop is a bigger one. She pulls out an empty perfume bottle. A blade quickly springs out of the bottom of the perfect weapon. Jacob pulls out his grapple gun from his other holster. Elvis walks toward them with a metal stick. Jacob makes a hand signal and Grace nods. "Well you got this, Green Goblin. See ya later!" Then Jacob points his grapple gun up and shoots it. After he catches a beam, Jacob zips out of there.
"Looks like your friend left you!" Elvis tauts.
"Yeah, can you believe it?" Grace grumbles. Elvis frowns because his tauting did nothing to his opponent. He tries to knock the sword out of her hand, but Grace jumps away from his stick. She lunges at him with several attacks. Elvis defends himself from under the beam Jacob escaped from. Grace distracts Elvis as Jacob slides down the metal rope from his grapple gun. He quickly raps it around Elvis's leg. Grace pulls down the rope on the other side of the beam. Jacob and Grace stand side by side looking up at the dangling Elvis. They turn when they hear clapping.
"Great job! Now the third task." Death Wish crosses his arms from behind the camera.
"Well... you see Death Wish, we don't do tasks for you." Jacob scowls.
"What about the boy?" Death Wish asked.
"He should float on the chair." Jacob smiles from the win he feels coming to him.
"Chairs do float." Death Wish nods. "This chair is different though. It's made out of metal."
"No!" Jacob wears a facial expression of true fear. Grace turns away from the two and runs to Calvin. She lifts him and his chair off of the conveyer belt.
"I got him." She grins. She brings him to Jacob.
"We win!" Jacob brags. Grace pulls the gag out of Calvin's mouth and starts to untie him.
"Thank you." His voice was shaky.
"No!" Death Wish screams in fake defeat and turns off the camera. "Well now I know who you are, Black Jacket. I took Calvin for a reason, you know. I believe I know who The Green Goblin is too."
"Stay away from my family, Death Wish, or it will be the last thing you do." Jacob growls.
"Family?" Calvin asks in shock.
"We will fill you in later." Grace assures Calvin.
"Here tie me up." Death Wish offers his hands to Jacob. Jacob ties him up next to Elvis.
"I'll call this in to the police." Jacob says.
They all walk toward the exit. Before they left, they heard, "I'll see you again, Thomas Kids." A dark laugh followed. Jacob makes a call to the police. Then they take Calvin home. They explain everything to Calvin and leave him on their doorstep. Grace and Jacob climb into Jacob's window and change into their own clothes. Calvin rings the door bell and Mary opens the door.
"My son!" She cries as she hugs Calvin. Edward comes to the door and hugs both of them. Jacob and Grace join them. Fireworks go off in the distance. "We got our son back on the Fourth of July!" Mary cries harder. That's why the Thomas family celebrate The Fourth of July like no other family in Worcester.
