Ch 4

Chapter 4
Alex opened up the laptop and opened up a map, “Ok so here is where the airport is, and my dad’s safe house somewhere around here.’ he pointed to a spot on the screen, “What do you mean by somewhere? Don’t you know where your dad’s safe house is?” “Yes and no, you see it wouldn’t be a safe house if everyone knew where it was. He has multiple ones and thing we need to figure out which one he is at right now.” “Alright and how do we do that?” “Easy, he doesn’t go to these two here in spring,” he pointed to a certain area, “and these are right next to each other so we can check both.” I nodded and looked to the map. “So what are we suppose to do when we find your dad?” “Not sure, I guess give him the notes and explain the situation to him.” ‘Sounds like a plan.”
“If you guys don’t mind I can tell you where your father is. Oh and sorry for eavesdropping… again.” “Wait you can?” Alex said glaring at Aden, “Yeah if I have figured this out enough your Michael’s son and um I am not quite sure who you are related to…” “I am Hannah Conner, Simon’s daughter.” “Wow so you’re the great Simon Conner daughter, I had only heard stories of your dad and mom, just not a lot about you.” “So what is your story?” Alex said looking kind of worried, “Me well I am Gabriel’s son.” “Gabriel?” “The tall skinny one in the photo.” Alex said referring back to the day before, “Wait you’re his son?” “Yeah, and please don’t hold me to my father’s action. You know the whole ego manic thing with trying to over throw your father…” “Ok.” “Wait, do you not know what your fathers’ did?” I looked over to Alex who was almost just as clueless as I was, “Our fathers’ were thieves, and they held grand thefts. Legend has it there is even a vault holding it all, though my dad didn’t know where. Apparently Hannah here her father is the only one who knows where it is and he is the only one with the key. So I guess you could say we are all connected to each other’s past.” “Yeah I guess so.” “Now back to you leading us to my dad’s safe house.” “Well that is simple, I kind of work with your dad, almost like an apprentice.” “Apprentice, how so?” “I help keep things quiet, clean up the houses, run errands; which is was what I was doing in the US.” “What business does my father have in the US?” “According to him there was a spy watching over Hannah’s family, but when I got there everyone was gone.” “Wait there was a spy watching over us?” “According to Alex’s dad yes, do you recognize this woman?” he handed me a photo.
“Yes, yes I do. That is Penelope, she was our maid.” “Right under your father’s nose she was in communication with someone the entire time, we just don’t know who.” “You would think my father would have suspected something.” “I think he started to, I doubt your father being who he is would look over that.” Alex said putting hand on my shoulder and smile at me, then the seatbelt sign went on and the plane shortly landed after that. Then we made our way to the safe house.
