So Long and Goodnight
Taken
Gerard's POV
I have all the kids here in a few minutes, and they all took off the trackers.
"We have to do something with these." I say, pacing.
Everyone's quiet. I'm surprised, I would've thought someone would've sprouted an idea by now.
"Anyone?"
Lily reluctantly raises her hand.
"Lily?"
'I could hook the trackers onto a remote control helicopter or something.' she signs.
I nod. Sounds good enough.
"Tomorrow, we'll put him off his tracks. Maybe we can lure him into something."
They all stare blankly. Probably tired. Not to mention one of them is half hung over.
"All right, you guys can go." they all get up quickly and leave, and holy shxt I'm dreading tomorrow.
**********
It's early in the morning, far before the kids have to be at school. They're currently working on a new trap. Designed by Lily, right now Ridley's setting it up.
"So what exactly is this?" I say, walking over to Rid.
She doesn't even look up from the knots she's tying. "Simple rope trap. He runs into the small rock, creates a chain reaction with all of the rocks, each one bigger in mass, until he finally hits this large rock on top of the branch right over here." she points to the large rock perched on the branch carefully. "It'll fall off, bringing the length of the rope down with it, and the rope net...well, once it's finished...will catch him and pull him up, trapping him."
"This is incredible." I say.
"Oh it's not much." she chuckles, and I walk over to Lily, who's still securing the trackers onto the helicopter.
"Almost done?"
'Almost.'
she sighs. 'I'm gonna go get some water from the school.'
"Okay."
she stand up and starts walking in the direction of the school, still working on the helicopter while she's walking.
Lily's POV
I'm still fixing the trackers onto the helicopter. Positioning them so they don't hit anything it shouldn't. One of the trackers that I hadn't finished putting on the helicopter falls off. Ugh. I sigh and lean down, picking it up. But when I get back up, someone grabs my arms, putting their hands over my mouth, and keeps me from running.
"Gotcha." It's Mr Holmon. And before I can do anything, everything goes black...
