Finally Home

Episode 5

Brooke's P.O.V. ~

Everyone's mouth is hanging down to the ground once they step into my plane.

"Ho-how did you afford this plane?" I shake my head at Amanda. She's always wanted to be rich or just marry a rich guy so me having money may be a bit of a problem.

"I worked my ass of and earned me a s**t ton of money. This is my bigger plane. My other one is small and wouldn't fit us all. Now before take off I need everyone's devices in this bag." I pick up the bag that was placed there for devices.

"What why do you need our phones?" I sigh at the twins. They've always been in sync and always had a device attached to them somehow. 

"Because phones can be tracked, so can iPads, smart watches, computers, and anything that connects to the internet. Now, unless you want to die and kill everyone in your family, put your phone in the bag. Children will also need to place their iPads in there. They won't be destroyed so once it's all over you can have these back." Everyone hands over devices and the twins reluctantly hand theirs over. I hand it to Henry, my main bodyguard and in return he gives me the bag I asked for.

"Your package Ms. Flash." I nod at him and he leaves the plane. I turn around and see the children all there sulking about not having their iPads. I roll my eyes but go to them. 

"Children follow me please." I lead them all to the back room and their parents follow. Amanda and her husband look shocked by the rooms contents. In there there is toys, arts and crafts, a tv and other things that kids like. 

"Here children, you can stay in here for the flight. If you get tired then there is beds through that door. There's a bathroom in that door and snacks and drinks are in the fridge. Now, my name is Brooke, what are your names?" They look at Amanda as though asking for permission. She nods at them then they look at me.

"My name is Cyrus. These are my brother and sister, CJ and Catherine, but we call her Cathy." I nod and smile at the twins and Cyrus.

"Well children, my name is Brooke and I'm your mothers cousin. I hope you have some fun in here during the flight but unfortunately you cannot come into here until we take off so for now come outside and buckle into a chair then once we're at the right height you can come in here as it's quite a long flight." We make our way out to the front of the plane and everyone is still standing around looking quite scared.

"You guys can sit down, you wont break anything." That seemed to reassure them as they sat down.

"Please buckle up everyone, we should take off in two minutes." The co-captains voice calls from over the speaker and everyone follows his orders. No one speaks until we can feel the plane begin to move. I'm use to the feeling of planes moving and it barely bothers me but my family on the other hand, is so excited about the fact they're in a private jet. Ten minutes later the captain announces we can take off our seatbelts and move around so I take the children back to the playroom. Before I re-enter the main part of the plane I take a deep breath as I know there's questions that they're gonna ask now that I can't answer. The second my foot steps through the threshold of the main area everyone is looking at me. I shake my head and walk to the bar. I grab out the most expensive bottle of whiskey and pour it into a glass. I skull it without even thinking and while I'm pouring another glass I say to my family,

"Well, what are my questions? And please one at a time or I won't answer any of them." No one speaks for a few minutes then Amanda breaks the silence with a question I knew she was gonna ask.

"How did you afford a private plane? Did you marry a rich guy or something?" I can see Axel stiffen up a bit from the corner of my eye but shake my head at her with a smirk on my face.

"If me being the owner of a multi-million dollar company plus being investor to many company's is marrying a rich guy, then yes. I married the richest guy around." Everyone looks a bit shocked at the way I stood up to Amanda. Everyone knew I used to look up to her and never defied her, but I guess times have changed.

"Where have you been living?" Granny asks me.

"Well first I moved to Queensland, but it was only for a week or two before my face was blasted all over the news there. Then it was off to America. I was temporarily located in New York, LA, California, and now it's Florida. I also lived in Europe for a while and Asia was the most temporary at two weeks." She seems to take this in then again asks a question.

"Are we going to your house in Florida?" I laugh at that.

"God no that would defeat the purpose of this. We're meant to be going somewhere no one knows, so one of my safehouses will do for a while until I find somewhere or until I can fix this problem."

"How can you fight like that?" I turn to Keanu.

"What do you mean?" This time Kapono asks.

"I mean anyone could tell that the guy wasn't that good but still you handled it so well and wasn't even scared at the fact that he had a gun pointed at you." I shrug at him but don't answer and sip on my drink. He sighs and I see everyone mulling this over in their heads.

"Why did you leave?" God Axel you've always been as stubborn as a mule. 

"Well, one day I was walking home and it was cold and couldn't be bothered going my usually way as it was way longer than a short cut I had used once before. It wasn't the safest way but it got me there. As I went down the street I needed to, I saw a man shoot another person in the head with a gun. They didn't notice me thank God until I kicked a rock which hit a tv sitting on the side of the street. I know so cliché movie like but I couldn't help it and before I would let them get to me I ran. They followed me and it wasn't until later that I found out it was a gang who did the hit for a mafia. I couldn't stay there after they had seen my face and probably already knew my name, so I left. In order to keep everyone safe."

"That's what guard called you Ms. Flash not Rodgers." I nod to confirm my granny's statement. 

"Here isn't safe enough for me to continue this talk. We can talk when we reach my house. You can find a way to entertain yourselves. There's TVs, iPads with games, a few books and puzzles. If you'll excuse me, I've got to finish my work in the office." I leave them all there and head off to a small room with a desk and a computer.

After long hours at work, a stewardess comes in and informs me that we will be landing and that I should head back out. I do just that and see everyone sitting in different chairs to the ones I left them in. I ignore them and head to my main chair where I find Amanda sitting.

"Move. That's my chair." She looks up and smirks.

"No." Oh the nerve of this girl. I c***k my neck side to side to try and intimidate her, and it seems to work.

"Move, or I'll push you out of this plane." God I take her on my private plane and save her and her kids life and she gives me attitude. She better be lucky that we'll be seeing my favourite person now so I will be in a happy mood.
