Brother and sister, siblings in their former life, partners in international mystery and intrigue in this strange new one, set off to see what could be seen in Merry Olde England. They boarded a jet bound for London and tried to relax.
"Bro, what are we going to do once we get there? We don't have any money, we don't know anyone," she said, worried. In fact, she was more than worried. She was petrified. Though she had oft longed to see the British Isles, this was not exactly what she had in mind. She was certain she would regret this day and this adventure.
"Sis, try not to worry. We're almost there. Something is sure to come up when we step off the plane."
The plane landed right on schedule, and our brave heros set off to discover what lie ahead. They were afraid, certainly, but not so much as curious. This bizarre combination quickly turned to rage as they were poked, prodded, bumped, and pushed off the plane by angry Brits relieved to return home after a short, yet painful trip to the American mid west. Her blood began to boil, and he had to nearly physically restrain her as well as clamp a muzzle on her mouth. She was not well known for her even temper.
As they neared the end of the ramp after debarking the plane, they looked around. No one seemed to be waiting, yet everyone seemed to be eyeing them. They felt their skin crawl, and were unable to explain the bizarre phenomenon. A man stepped forward, attractive enough, and possibly downright adorable were it not for their current paranoia.
"May I be of some service?" he asked, as he grabbed her arm and ushered her quickly away.
"What the hell is everyone's problem around here?!" she demanded. "I've never in my life encountered any brand of people so obnoxious."
"Quiet, Sis, they'll hear you!" her brother hissed.
"Too late," the tour guide announced. "All us Brits are psychic, and they know what you're thinking."
"Oh yeah?" she demanded. "Well know this!" and thought a particularly nasty thought.
"Uh oh, we'd better make a break for it," said the tour guide, and he grabbed her hand, running for his life as well as their own.
What will happen next? Will our heros die at the hands of an angry nation or will they escape to the countryside? Find out in the next exciting episode, Part Six!
