“Alright then, let’s leave earlier today,” said Henry. He stroked Jamie’s head and continued, “Your daddy is on a business trip, and Robbie is probably bored at home now. Let’s leave earlier and meet him at Fairytale Land.”
“Oh, okay,” murmured Jamie. He knew it wasn’t appropriate for him to press on, so he changed tactics and said, “Let me go get my backpack.”
“Jamie, help me take my backpack as well,” requested Ellie. She didn’t know that they were already assigned a task and that the mission was ongoing.
“Your backpack is so heavy. Go get it yourself,” Jamie declined. “Come on. We’ll go together.” Jamie needed an excuse to drag Ellie away.
Ellie harrumphed and frowned in annoyance before complaining, “You are so mean.”
“We’ll get the teachers to bring them over for you,” suggested the principal immediately.
“There’s no need for that. Let them do it on their own,” refused Henry grimly. “The Nacht family members were taught to always accomplish their tasks by themselves. Please don’t give the kids special treatment. Just treat them like they are normal kids.”
“Understood,” replied the principal while nodding.
“You may get back to work. There’s no need to keep us company,” instructed Henry when he saw the other kids peeking over. “The other kids and their parents are staring, and this will affect everyone negatively.”
“That is…” said the principal as he turned to the directors, who exchanged glances with him.
“I have some questions for the kids’ teacher, but everyone else should go,” instructed Henry sternly.
“Understood,” said the principal. Everyone bowed politely before leaving in a hurry.
Henry had his men push him in his wheelchair to the other side so that he wouldn’t affect the other kids and their parents. After that, he asked the teacher about how Jamie and Ellie were doing at school.
At that moment, Jamie dragged Ellie to the side and shared Robbie’s plan with her.
Hearing that got Ellie to turn pale, and she said, “Isn’t it a little too dangerous for Robbie to carry out the mission on his own? There’s a scary eagle in Northridge. What if it attacks Robbie like it did the last time?”
“I’m worried about that too, but Robbie already set everything in motion, so all we can do is support him. If we don’t, the entire plan will go up in smokes,” replied Jamie with a frown. He sounded worried as well.
“But…”
“Don’t worry. The eagle was injured the last time we encountered it, and its injuries seemed grave, so I don’t think Robbie will be in any danger,” cooed Jamie. “All we need to do now is work with him so that he is not taking a risk in vain.”
“Okay, then,” replied Ellie while nodding. She then reminded, “The plan is preponed, so you should call Robbie and tell him about it. I’ll go grab my backpack and keep Great-grandpa distracted.”
“Okay,” said Jamie. Then he quickly called Robbie.
Robbie was distracted in class that day. He would check on Fifi every now and then by peeking at his phone.
That idiot is actually resting in a bird’s nest and is on the verge of falling asleep!
Robbie frowned in exasperation, utterly speechless. I knew it. That stinking bird is completely unreliable!
Just then, Robbie’s smartwatch rang. The call was from Jamie.
“Robbie, what are you doing?” said the teacher while frowning at him.
“My baby brother called,” answered Robbie as he showed her his smartwatch. “He doesn’t usually call me at this hour. Something important must’ve happened. I should take this.”
“Alright, then,” the teacher agreed and paused the class.
Robbie walked to the washroom to pick up the call. “Hi, Jamie.”
“Great-grandpa is getting us out of class earlier today, Robbie. It’s likely that he has already sent his men over to take you to Fairytale Land. You will have to bring your plan forward,” informed Jamie, who deliberately spoke softly as he was worried about someone else overhearing him.
“I got it. We’ll proceed in accordance with our original plan,” replied Robbie calmly.
“Be careful. If you come across that eagle, just scream for help. Don’t try to be a hero…”
“Relax… It’s wounded, so it can’t hurt me,” replied Robbie nonchalantly. “You don’t need to worry about me, okay? Just play your part well.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the call, Robbie left the washroom. Cain happened to knock on the door at that moment and informed, “Mr. Nacht has instructed me to take you to Fairytale Land to meet up with them.”
