Chapter 25:

Aiden woke the next morning to an empty bed, then he heard laughing coming from down the hall. Aiden still naked got out of bed and grabbed up Kia's discarded towel and started down the hall. Aiden almost ran in to Alic when he came out of the bathroom. Aiden and Alic both dressed in towels walked in to the kitchen to see theyre former prisoner at the stove with a stack of pancakes beside him. Kia Pan Joset and Roman were all sitting around the table looking at he and Alic like they were the crazy ones.

Aiden walked over to Kia and kissed her on the head "whats going on in here?" Aiden asked.

"Mr.Jones ...im sorry Matthew is making his famous pancakes. Theyre really good, pull up a chair you two" Joset said. witch shocked most of them

"Im sorry about the whole trying to kill all of you thing. I hope you can forgive me, I finally understand what you all are. Ive never been a christian man or a praying one for that matter but knowing what all of you are, knowing what you do.... Im ..... im just sorry I had anything to do with the whole mess" said Matthew.

Aiden was stunned and had many questions about what was happening around him this morning. The world seemed to have turned its self on its head. Aiden wispered to Kia "later you may have to explain to me what just happened, for now tho is there coffee?"

Kia answered "yes and bacon."

Alic may have been confused but when the word "bacon" was used he no longer cared. He just knew he had to get to it before Aiden did.

Aiden saw Alic make a mad break for the bacon and did the first thing that came to mind he bolted to it was an all out race to the bacon two men two towles, as soon as Aiden cought up to Alic he snatched his towel and threw it at Roman who plucked it out of the air. Aiden successfully made it to the bacon and took the whole plate (accept for what he left for the cook) and a stack of pancakes. He sat down at the table and watched Alic fight for his towel while he ate.

Kia was just finishing her breakfast when Aiden leaned in to her "can we take a day and let everybody just breath? Were no closer to finding Michael, and in the end that is the job isnt it?" Kia thought about it. They all had almost been killed. "A day sounds good" she said to Aiden. Kia stood up witch got everybodys attention "Considering we all almost died, Mr.Jones included even if we tried to kill him, we all deserve to take a day and relax."

The team agreed totally and completely.

"The question is what do we do with our day?" Alic still naked asked.

"Were close to the beach here" Pan said. "Matthew told me about the beach. He said it was sun, sand, and waves, I dont know what he ment by waves but I would like to go."

"It sounds fun, sure do we need to be armed?" Kia asked.

Matthew busted out laughing "You swim you relax you dont have to kill anything. Just water and fun, we could even bring a lunch make a day of it."

"Then to the beach" Kia said
