War of Mars: Jinks Montreal 4

by Beth Hoyer

out a hand touching his forehead and he felt his eyes forced shut followed by the scene changing to find he at the beach facing Lance who was kneeling with eyes shut. Jinks cleared his throat loudly and waited as Lance jerked opened his eyes looking at his direction with an all black eyed glare. He felt himself confused to get Lance’s reaction as Lance stood up with arms folded still having that black eyed glare which made him feel annoyed. He heard a harrumph sound from the Meritanians he assumed on his right which he glanced at them seeing them looking his way with frowning looks on their faces.

  He frowned as Lance spoke with sarcasm while looking at the Meritanians “There’s more to you than just being mind walking plants isn’t there hmm?”

  He formed a frown on his face as he looked at the Meritanians who looked sheepish by their expressions on their faces.

  He felt himself confused as Ramses spoke “Lance what you expect?”

  He heard Lance speak sounding annoyed “You manipulated the minds of Anubis and Horus here for that gonoid head servant to confess his problem to my son about his divided loyalties to the High Council and their enemies the Humans themselves.”

  He stiffened hearing Lance’s words as he saw the Meritanians nod their heads before Ramses spoke “Well nice but what else have you thought about us, Lance?”

  Jinks looked at Lance who gave off a growling sound which he saw his father unfold his arms raising his palms shot out his hands grabbing Lance’s hands in a tight grip. He heard Lance give off a roaring noise which he restrained his father by forcing Lance’s hands together and held them in a tight ironclad grip.

  He spoke “Father, don’t do this please.”

  He continued to restrain his father who gave off loud growling noises sounding like he was angry.

  Jinks heard Ramses speak “Ajax, just hug him smarty and it’ll help considering that he’s ticked off and while your at it try covering his eyes if that doesn’t work.”

  He saw Ajax come into his line of sight that wrapped arms around Lance from behind as he kept his hands tightly holding his father’s hands. He felt Lance struggle from his hands holding his hands and saw Ajax’s arms release their hold on his father followed by his son’s hands covering Lance’s eyes who stopped struggling.

  He sensed his father calming down from the struggling ceasing and heard Lance speak sounding irritated but no longer angry “All right, kids you can release me now. I’m fine for now.”

  Jinks heard Ramses back him up saying “You heard Lance, release him.”

  He obeyed as Ajax removed his hands to see Lance fold his arms with his eyes shown to be Human blue.

  Jinks stared at Lance who turned to face him with a frown on his face while appearing to notice Ajax standing next to him before speaking again attention focused on Ajax “Anyway Ajax what’s going on with the High Council from what I’m hearing?”

  He frowned to look at Ajax who gave off a sound of a groan before speaking “Anubis blew a tantrum roaring in the throne room which is said to burst something in the heads of the High Council that died from the noises. Anyway it took awhile for Anubis to calm down from his tantrum before he stopped his noises for the others to dart him out unconscious so they could attend to the High Council they discovered it was too late to help them. The Meritanians managed to transport the speakers and the bird guards out but didn’t bother to transport the High Council to safety which has others furious with the plants about that considering they could have transported Anubis to some place isolated for him to blow a tantrum which they didn’t do.”

  He heard a harrumph from Lance who spoke “Anything else, Ajax?”

  He stared at Ajax who spoke “The others told me to tell you, predecessor that you can hit the Meritanians with your earthquakes any time you want just as long their kept in line with the High Council’s orders.”

  He heard the Meritanians give off sounds of grumbling from his right side protesting Ajax’s words.

  He heard Lance spoke loudly above the plants’ grumbling protests “Fine.”

  Jinks watched as Lance forced Ajax’s eyes shut before turning his attention towards him as the Meritanians became silent.

  He spoke with a questioning tone “What’s with Ajax calling you, Predecessor anyway when you’re his father?”

  He stared at Lance whose face formed a frown before his father spoke “Ajax got it in his head that you are his father and I’m not despite you having my body. He thinks this because it was you in my body that mated with his mother hence he thinking this. I haven’t bothered to correct him on that and I don’t attend to so don’t complain about it.”

  He shrugged and heard Ramses’ familiar question followed by his eyes forced shut.

  Jinks woke up to feel a cat sitting on his chest while lying in bed in his bedroom in the penthouse. He heard the sound of the alarm and felt Willow he assumed get off his chest which he glared at the clock seeing it said eight o’clock in the a.m.

  Groaning he spoke “Sleep mode time.”

  He heard the electronic voice speak “Seventeen hours.”

  Sighing he got up and went into the bathroom intending to shower which he did and came out of the bathroom dressed in fresh clothing and his familiar shoes on his feet. He went to the bedroom doors and yanked them open to see Gustav standing there in his familiar spot with his familiar look on his face.

  Jinks spoke “What did I miss since falling asleep yesterday?”

  He heard from Gustav “Not much except Barry explaining to your daughter that causing those earthquakes will wear you out enough to pass out from time to time and require lots of rest to recover from doing them.”

  He nodded his head finding himself agreeing with Gustav to speak “Well how’s Victoria anyway?”

  Gustav spoke “She seemed to be ok after you passed out which she was reassured by Barry that you were fine but worn out by the earthquake causing. She’s currently at school today and won’t be home till later tonight due to saying that Mavis asked her out on a date the previous day which she had accepted.”

  He gave off a growl hearing that as he spoke “I have to hear this now from you instead of when she saw me yesterday?”

  He heard a groan from Gustav who spoke “She did inform me of this when she saw me after coming home from school the previous day and it was assumed that she already told you of the date.”

  He gave off a sound of disgust and walked into the hallway followed by Gustav who continued to give off groaning sounds. He went into the dining room and sat at the head of the table with his hands clasped in his lap as Gustav went into the kitchen banging the doors. He eyed the doors with a glare as Jacqueline came out carrying a tray that grimaced seeing his glare. He glared as Jacqueline placed the tray in front of him and found himself ravenously hungry ate the food with gusto and then gulped down the drink sensing it was orange juice from the orange color. He once finished got up from the table and walked out of the dining room heading towards the TV room which he paused seeing the familiar blue light was still missing from it. Jinks waved a fist at the TV and stomped out towards the elevator only to be blocked by an appearing Gustav who blocked his efforts.

  Jinks snarled “Get out of my way Gustav.”

  He again heard the foreign language from Gustav followed by being compelled to walk away from the elevator to take a route to the library room which he was forced to sit. He growled as Gustav went to the bookshelves and pulled out a book which the butler placed in his lap followed by being forced to read it. Jinks felt disgust running through him as he read the book discovering it was a romance novel focused on a male pirate on a water ship in love with a female in a rich family on land of the United States and doing anything to get her expecting his child just to have her as his. He continued to read the book till he reached the last page and slammed the book down on the table feeling he annoyed with having to read it. He felt the familiar claw digging on his lap again figured that Willow was sitting on his lap which he looked down to see her and
with a growl got up from the chair forcing her off his lap. He heard her meow sounding annoyed as he got up and stormed out of the library room heading towards the elevator only to be blocked by Gustav appearing from no where.

  He snarled “You acting on Barry’s orders again?”

  He glared at Gustav who appeared to look nervous before the butler spoke with nervousness in his voice tone “You don’t want to leave the penthouse at this time if I were you.”

  He folded his arms to narrow his eyes as he spoke “Gustav what are you hiding from me?”

  Jinks glared at Gustav who appearing to gulp and the butler repeated his words which got him further annoyed.

  He snarled out a growl and spoke “Can’t you tell me what’s going on besides your words that don’t imply anything.”

  He again got the familiar words which he spoke “That does it if you don’t tell me I’ll use my fists on you.”

  He heard from Gustav who spoke “Please do. I rather receive fists than face what’s out of the penthouse.”

  Jinks gave up a sound of disgust walked pass Gustav and sensed him following which he went to the dining room and neared the kitchen doors only to be blocked by the butler appearing in front of him.

  He spoke “Get out of my way Gustav.”

  Jinks again got the familiar foreign language which he was compelled to the library room and forced to sit which he watched with
