Cracking the Case: Part 2
Lloyd's P.O.V.:
I was starring right into Kira's eyes as I got off the elevator with Kai. I didn't know what to say.
"Hi Lloyd." Kira said.
"Hi." I said.
"You know what, I think I'll go bring the car around." Kai said ducking out of there.
"What are you doing here?" Kira asked.
"Oh yeah, I broke a few ribs from the accident so Kai drove me to get checked out." I said. "What are you doing here?"
"I have an appointment for my leg." She said. "Are you ok? Your dad told me about the wreck."
"Oh yeah, I'm feeling a lot better now."
"That's good to hear." Kira said.
The room got silent again. There were so many things I wanted to say, but I worried it would lead to another argument.
"So uh... did you and Kai find out anything?" She asked.
"Yeah, we have a name. Robert Jetson." I told her.
"Jetson? Where have I heard that before?" Kira said thinking.
"You know him?"
"No, but the name sounds familiar."
"If there's something you remember, do you want to go talk to Skylor with... oh right, you still don't want to talk to me." I frowned. "I'll just go."
"No Lloyd, wait!" Kira said.
"What?"
"I do want to come, if that's ok with you."
"Why?"
"Because that name sounds so familiar to me. Maybe talking with Kai and Skylor would jog my memory." She said.
"But aren't you here for your physical therapy appointment?" I asked.
"I can reschedule, this is more important." She said.
"Ok, if you're sure." I nodded.
Kira and I walked outside and found Kai's car outside the building. I explained why Kira wanted to come and Kai said it was fine as long as I was ok with it. We both sat in the back so Kira's crutches could fit in the front seat. Kira kept looking out the window instead of looking at me.
"So does this mean we're ok now?" I asked.
"I'm only going with you because this is important to the case." Kira said. "I'm still not ready to forgive you."
"Why not? Kai thought what I did was justified, right Kai?" I asked.
"I never said that." Kai said. "I said I would help you catch him before we got them back, but I still think you shouldn't have told them to stay in a place that could be dangerous."
"Look I'm sorry ok? I thought what I was doing was protecting them, but I talked with my dad about it and he made me realize that I was wrong. The sooner we catch Jetson and get him jail, then we can go find them, but we have to catch them first."
"Lloyd you know I want the kids back more than anything, but what makes you think that we can just go go and get them?" Kira frowned.
"We will find a way I promise, I just don't have a full plan yet, but I do know that step one is catching this guy."
"I still think this is crazy, but thanks to you we really don't have a choice." Kira frowned.
I sighed and looked away from her. The car went completely silent again. I was trying not to let her words get to me, but she was right, this was all my fault. Everyone's kids are now stuck on that island and might be afraid to get off it. I didn't know how to fix this.
Then we arrived at Kai and Skylor's house. We walked in and Skylor immediately hugged Kai so tight he was actually turning red. She set him down.
"Oh Kai I'm so glad you're ok." She screamed.
"Relax babe, I'm fine." Kai laughed and kissed her cheek. "Kira and Lloyd want to talk to you about the case."
"Perfect." Skylor said. "I've been meaning to do a follow up. But there is something you should know..."
"Wh..."
"Uncle Kai!"
All of a sudden Olivia ran up to Kai and wrapped him in a hug. Nya and Jay were standing behind her.
"Oh, everyone is here." I said.
"Yeah, I wanted to make sure Kai was ok after what happened." Nya said.
"Plus we thought it would be good to do a follow up with Skylor so we could let her know what was going on." Jay said.
"Actually I'm glad you're here, and not out there." Kai said.
"Yeah, and I called Cole and Zane to come over too." Skylor said. "It's important that we all be updated on the situation."
"Good idea." Kai said.
After a while, Cole and Zane arrived at the house and we all sat down in the living room. Olivia had another dizzy spell so she was taking a nap in Amber's room. We all discussed everything that had happened so far.
"Ok so, from what I understand is that Jet is the master of teleportation and he now has a device that can turn himself practically invisible and is Olivia's birth father." Skylor said taking notes on a notepad. "He wants to keep his powers, and he thinks that taking Olivia out is a way to keep them forever."
"Powers don't work like that." Jay said.
"You're right, but he might think that, and as long as he does Olivia is in danger." Skylor said.
"Do you think he attacked the boys too?" Cole asked.
"If he did I'm not sure why." Skylor said. "He's after Olivia, not Ben and CJ."
"Yeah, but that doesn't make sense for him to want to kill me." Kira said.
"Exactly, that's the part I can't figure out." Skylor said in frustration.
"Maybe he has something against all the ninja?" Zane said.
"If he did we would've heard of him by now." I said.
"Skylor, are you sure there's nothing in his medical records about mental illness or anything?" Kira asked.
"The lady on the phone said there wasn't anything on him at all, all she could find was that he was an emergency contact for his sister that passed away." Skylor said.
"Wait, my boss said something about that too." Kai said. "He said that after his sister died he just fell apart."
"When did she die?" Kira asked.
"The record says five years ago. Why?" Skylor answered.
"Emily." Kira's eyes widened and gasped.
"What?" I asked.
"I just realized everything." Kira said. "He isn't after Lloyd, he's after me."
"What?" We all looked at her.
Kira's P.O.V.:
********flashback********
I had just started my first day as a nurse. This has been my dream job since I was a child and today my dream was finally coming true.
The first part of the day went ok. I shadowed a nurse named Lisa for a few hours and I was already learning so much. But towards the end of my shift, we heard something over the loudspeaker.
"Code blue in ICU." The speaker said.
"Oh no." Lisa said.
I followed her to the patient's room and I saw a young girl in her 20's on the bed. Her monitor was flatlined and someone was standing by her bedside.
"Please, you have to help!" He screamed. "My sister, she was fine a second ago and then she..."
"Sir, step back and let us do our work." Lisa said. "Kira get the life pack."
He stood in the corner of the room. I got the life pack ready to revive her, but as I was getting it I noticed something on the floor. I picked it up and it was a DNR bracelet. When someone has this bracelet on, that means that they are so sick and suffering, that if they start to pass, we aren't allowed to revive them.
I picked it up and showed it to the Lisa. She looked at me and we stopped our efforts.
"What's going on? Why aren't you doing anything?" The man asked.
"Sir, did you remove this from her wrist?" Lisa showed him the bracelet.
"What? I didn't do that, it must've fallen off." He said.
"It's still has her name on it." I said. "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do."
"No, no no no, it's not on her anymore. That doesn't count." He defended. "You have to save Emily you have to please."
"I'm sorry, but it doesn't work that way. I know it's hard but, it's best to let her go." I frowned.
"But I can't. She's my little sister, I promised I would take care of her I... I..."
"I'm sorry." I frowned. "Would you like a moment to say goodbye?"
"You. You did this!" He screamed right at me. "I swear I will make you pay for what you did! I will make you pay!"
"Security!" The other nurse pressed the button on the wall.
Security came in and took him away. I took a moment to catch my breath.
"What was that? Should I have saved her?" I looked at the body on the bed.
"No, you did the right thing." Lisa said. "Emily Jetson was diagnosed with cancer over 3 years ago and hasn't left the hospital since. Trust me, she's in a better place now."
*********End of Flashback********
"I know I did the right thing, but his words. They always stuck with me since that day, and seeing that tattoo triggered all of that." I frowned. "I don't know why I just remembered it now."
"You did what you had to do." Lloyd said. "Plus you've been a little distracted by everything else going on."
"Now we have a motive." Skylor said.
"Yeah, but what does this have to do with Ben and CJ?" Cole asked. "They were attacked by him too."
"So was Axel and Cyrus Borg, but that was only because of the robbery." Zane said.
"Why didn't you report it to the police Cole?" Skylor asked.
"I was going to, but the boys' story sounded pretty far fetched." Cole said. "They said there was a ghost in their room that made them jump out the window, but now I'm starting to believe them."
"Are you sure nothing was missing? Nothing that he might want to steal?" Skylor asked.
"As far as I know the boys haven't been missing anything." Cole said. "Kirby even stayed after it all and helped repair the window."
"Perhaps he was trying to use the twins' distress as a distraction, or maybe as a test for Borg's tech." Zane suggested.
"No, he used me for that." Lloyd held up his hand to show the bandages on his wrist.
"We can figure that out later, right now we need a plan to catch him before Olivia gets hurt, or worse." Nya said.
"I know Nya, and we will catch him, but how can you catch someone who can be everywhere at once?" Kai scratched his chin.
"Zane, are you any closer to finding the kids?" Jay asked.
"The drone was sent to their location of the distress call, but the locator didn't activate." Zane frowned. "It either means that the drone was damaged, or..."
"Please don't finish that thought." Kai frowned.
We were all thinking and brainstorming ideas, but I couldn't focus on that. I kept worrying about the kids stranded on that island.
"Are you ok?" Lloyd noticed the look on my face.
"Can I talk to you in private for a minute?" I asked.
Lloyd nodded and helped into the kitchen with my crutches. He looked at me with concern.
"What's up?" He asked.
"I want you to tell them all what you did." Kira said.
"What?"
"Lloyd do you know why I'm so upset about this? Because of my parents. When my dad disappeared, he was only supposed to be gone for 2 days, but he didn't come back. Then my mom went to look for him, she promised that they both would return and I never saw either of them again. So I'm sorry if I'm being unreasonable but by telling them not to come home you're bringing all those memories back in my head. Having someone I love not come home is unbearable. I can't go through that again, and I don't want our friends to go through that either."
"I... I'm so sorry Kira. I didn't think about it like that." He frowned.
"Our friends deserve to know what happened." I frowned. "Please."
"Ok, you're right." Lloyd sighed. "I'll tell them."
"Thank you." I said. "I've really missed you."
"I missed you too." Lloyd smiled.
I tried to give him a small hug, but he flinched in pain. I backed off and took a look.
"Sorry about that. Are you sure you're alright?"
"I'm fine now." Lloyd smiled. "Thank you."
Lloyd's P.O.V.:
It felt relieving that Kira finally told me why she was so upset. I should've realized what was going on, and she was right, my friends deserved to know everything.
Kira put some ice on my ribs and we went back into the living room. I sat down and had to face the music.
"It just doesn't make sense that they would still be there." Nya said.
"Yeah, it feels like they should be home by now." Skylor frowned.
"It's my fault! I did it." I blurted out. "I'm the reason they aren't home yet. They aren't trying to get off the island anymore, they're waiting for us to come and get them."
"What do you mean?" Cole asked.
"On those letters we sent. On ours, I wrote a message to Ryder telling him what happened to Kira. I thought he and the others would be safer there than here with him on the loose." I sighed. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but it was the the only way to keep them safe."
All my friends looked at each other and tried to make sense of this. Nya cried on Jay's shoulder, Skylor kept looking at the ground, Cole covered his face, and Zane looked shocked. I hated that I made my friends feel like this, but at least now they knew the truth.
"Lloyd please tell me you have a plan to fix this." Jay said comforting his wife.
"Not yet, but I do know that catching him is at the top of the list." I said.
"Would it be possible to send them more letters?" Cole asked Zane.
"I exhausted my money and resources to make the first drone, I'm afraid I will not be able to make more." Zane said.
"No one's doing anything until Jet is behind bars." I stated.
"And I will catch him Lloyd I promise, but you can't just expect us to give up on seeing the kids." Skylor said.
"Of course I'm not doing that, I do want to bring them back just... not yet." I frowned. "Otherwise what happened to Kira could happen to them too, and I know none of us want that."
"He's right." Cole sighed. "Of course I miss Allison, but after what happened to the twins, I want this guy in jail before anyone else gets hurt."
"We all do, but we also want the kids back." Jay said.
"Lloyd, Olivia is the one he wants. If the others were here, they could've protected her." Nya said.
"Or they could be dead." Jay stepped in. "Lloyd did what he thought was right in order to protect them."
"Statistically, their rate of survival on the island is significantly higher than if they were to face Jet on their own." Zane said.
"See, I was right." I said.
"However, there's no telling what kind of trouble they could be in." Zane added.
"If only we could send one person to check in, make sure they're ok, then come right back and report to us." Jay thought.
"I could do it." Olivia walked into the room.
"Olivia, how much did you hear?" Nya asked.
"That you want to send someone to the island to go and get them." She said. "You said that I was the master of teleportation right?"
"Yes, and you will be one day, but your powers are just now coming in. You won't be able to use them for a while." Nya told her.
"And even then you have to be able to have full control of it before you're able to teleport that far." Jay said.
"Aww man, where are my powers when I need them?" Olivia pouted.
"Don't worry sweetheart, you'll get your chance one day." Nya said rubbing her back.
"And if we did that and couldn't bring them back home, then we'd just be stuck with them." I said.
"Yeah, probably not the best idea." Cole said.
"Olivia, why don't you go back in the bedroom and play? We need to talk about grown up stuff." Nya said.
"Fine." Olivia pouted and went back to Amber's room.
Narrator's P.O.V.:
Olivia was on her way back to the bedroom when she heard some voices coming through the vent.
"We have to tell her Nya." She heard her father say.
"No Jay! The last thing she needs is more reasons to go looking for trouble." Her mother replied.
After hearing this, she decided to eavesdrop and listen to their conversation.
"She's the main reason all of this is happening." Jay said. "If we don't warn her first before he comes looking for her she'll be in even more danger."
"Ok I guess you're right, but we can't tell her who Jet is."
"Don't you think she'll figure it out anyway? I mean they have the same elemental power."
Olivia thought about this. Who were they talking about? Who would have the same elemental power as she did?
All of a sudden a person appeared behind her. She felt something sharp pressed against her neck.
"Hello, daughter."
To be continued...
