Adam Armstrong, chapter 3
It was now the start of May and dad and I had forgotten all about what happened and we were acting like best friends. I started teaching Joey and Jacob some Martial Arts moves and they were getting the hang of it. I had a battle of the bands concert later on this evening. I and the guys were just having a last practice before it. We had thought up 6 songs to play for it. We left for the show with our instruments. We sat down at our table. Draco was tuning his bass. Ron was doing something with his drumsticks. Hermione was sorting out her keyboard. I was tuning my guitar. I saw our parents sitting down behind the crowd.
"We would like to introduce our next band." One of the judges said. We were standing next to the stage ready to rock our hearts out.
"You might know these guys from Miami, it's THE IMMORTALS!" We ran up on stage and every body was cheering. We sang all our songs and started a moshpit. At the end the crowd was cheering and telling us to do a stage dive. So we did. That was the greatest day ever. We didn't win, but a least we took part.
The days were getting longer and warmer by the minute. The next morning I went downstairs to what all the fuss was about.
"Mom it's too warm to go to school today, please let us stay at home!" I heard Joey whine.
"Ha, you have go to school and I don't." I teased.
"Adam just because you're a Jedi and you don't have to go to school doesn't mean that you can tease Joey and Jacob." Mom said. After that I shut my gob.
I went up to my room and grabbed my skateboard and took off. I skated along the path looking around for no reason. All of a sudden I stopped. I was sensing something powerful. I picked up my skateboard and walked towards a field. Then my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Is this Adam Armstrong?"
"Yes."
"If you want to see your father again I suggest that you do what I ask."
"Let him go you bastard!" After that he hung up. Oh god what was I going to do?
It's probably Count Douku. I kept an eye on my phone in case it rang again and it did.
"Count."
"Well done you know it's me."
"How could I not, now what do you want from me?"
"I am in a trade federation ship, I will send a star fighter down to pick you up and then we will talk. Until then your father will remain unharmed."
I quickly changed into my Jedi suit and waited. As soon as it arrived I got inside. When we got to the ship, the droids took me to him. I saw my father lying on the ground.
"Dad, dad can you hear me?" No answer.
"He is asleep and cannot hear you."
"What do you want?"
"To fight, of course"
We both drew our lightsabers and began the battle. Douku started to get tired and that's when I killed him. One strong blow into the stomach. His body lay lifeless. I ran over to dad.
"Dad? Dad can you hear me?" He was still unconscious. I carried him on my back and went to look for an escape pod. I found one and made my way back down to earth.
May 18th:
Dad didn't remember anything. He was just a little confused when he woke up. I took my skateboard and skated off to Draco's house. When I arrived Ron and Hermione were already there.
"Hey guys" I said.
"Off to Miami next week to work?" Draco asked me.
"Yah but it'll only be for a month. I can't wait to see the guys again."
"So, what are we going to do for the day?" Hermione asked.
"Why don't we get a video camera and do stuff Viva La Bam style?" I suggested.
We all agreed even Hermione, which was unusual for a girl to do that stuff but she enjoys it. We decided to get air horns and use our invisibility cloaks at the golf course. We took our video cameras and split up. I spotted Mike and Tre playing a game of golf. Mike was just about to tee off when I blew the air horn.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT THE FUCK?" He roared.
I covered my mouth with my hand so he wouldn't hear me laughing. I kept on blowing the air horn the both of them started to get really pissed off. After a while I had to go home. I got home and who was there? Mike and Tre. Perfect!
"Billie you won't believe what happened at the golf course." I heard Mike say as I sat down on the couch and started watching Viva La Bam.
"This, this thing was blowing an air horn at us when we were teeing off." said Tre.
"Do you know what this thing was Tre?" asked Billie.
"Know but whoever it was I'm going to kill them!!" Mike said with anger. I was fucked if they found out. But still, it was fun. They had a few beers in the kitchen and left. I was still watching the television.
"Mike and Tre are really pissed aren't they?" Billie asked.
"Yah, it's kind of weird that they couldn't see who was doing it?" I replied.
"They must have been under an invisibility cloak."
"How do you know about them?"
"Maybe because you have one, and your friends have one?"
"That doesn't mean it was us!"
"Did I say it was?" Fuck, I hate it when people catch you out like that!!
"O. k it was us." Suddenly Billie just started laughing and crying on the ground. What the fuck?!?!
"OHH dude ye rock." He managed to spit out.
"That doesn't mean that you can tell Mike and tre it was us." I said.
"Don't worry your secret's safe with me."
"I fucking hope so." Could you imagine what would happen, if they found out? I must have a death wish.
I went up to my room to watch TV. Sweet fuck all was on so I turned it off. I heard somebody crying. Who was it? I opened my door and Jakob ran into my arms. His eyes were swollen. He must have been crying for a while.
"Jake what's wrong?" I asked.
"Somebody was following me and Joey as we were coming home and he took Joey!"
"What? Have you told mom and dad?"
"You're the CSI!"
"Jake go tell mom and dad and I'll call the police." Great, this is all I need. I sure hope Joey is O.K. I rang the police.
"Oakland police department how may I help you?" The voice said.
"Hello, my name is Adam Armstrong I'm a CSI from the Miami-Dade police department. My brother Joey has just been kidnapped. I need you to come over to my house right now!"
"O.K detective we'll be over in a minute, please give your address." I gave him the address and hung up.
I ran downstairs to see how the rest of the family were.
"The police are on the way." I told them. They nodded and just remained silent until the police arrived.
"Mr. Armstrong, can I speak with you for a minute?" I stood up and walked over to the officer.
"Yes officer?"
"I'm sure you know that most murders happen within the first 3 hours if the kidnapping."
"I know if you don't mind, I would like to ask Jakob questions?"
"Go ahead, he might be more calm around you?" I walked over to Jakob.
"Jake, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" I asked a scared looking child.
"No"
"What did this person look like?"
"He had red hair, a black t-shirt and black jeans."
"Did you see his face?"
"No" I walked outside the house, praying that Joey was alright.
"We would like to introduce our next band." One of the judges said. We were standing next to the stage ready to rock our hearts out.
