children and flying horse Chapter eight The secret base in the mountain

Cloud Ma leaded to a small cabin somewhere in the mountain.  He was not clear where is the place, his eyes covered with black cloth,
the bumping van taking him go though the roads full of small rocks.  The cabin's smell mixed with hay and horse manure, and
heard sound of horse from far away.   From the side view he sees several black shadow pass around in the cabin, and some Flickering fire light from the corner.   "Where is it?"   The rough hemp rope making his hande and feet really hurt.   He tried to ease the pain and
stay calm.   Some black silhouette shaking in front of him, but he only heard speaking sound and not knowing who they are.
 The was tighted on a chair, a spot light hanging  over his head.  He felt toally wet except the light over his head.
He was very nervous ans sweat a lot, heavy chest, and difficult to breath.  He breath really hard.  The more he tried to hold the breathe to stay calm, the more he felt difficult to breath.  He knows this situation will cause Asthma, but he cannot help.
"You know why we got you here ? "
His head shaked with deep breathe.
"We got your father, too.  Want to know where he is ?"  He lifted his head, and found out few golden color hair comes from one of the
black silhouette's scraf.   He kept silence, tried to control his breathing.  He might loose his life if not staying calm.   He can hear his
own breathe, or say, to feel his own breathe, going though in front of his nose.   He tried to control his thinking, hopefully to
stay clear.   Right now he slowing sees an image from his head,  a driving jeep, blue jeep, two people inside, no, three,
one of them is his father.  The car driving on high way, near a beach.  Right, it's a beach,  some coconut trees, and very few
buildings.  Where is it ?  nothing brings onto his head.  He trying really hard to see clear the picture.   Then the black silhouette
speaks again:
 
"We need you to help us with something.  Regarding your father."
"What's that?  My father cannot help you ?  why"
"Your father refused to help us, so we got you there.  Because you have the same ability"
"What if I say no?"
"Easy.  If you say no, then you say no to your father's life, too"
"What you plan to do ?"
"Your father's behavior in this couple of years already demage our benefit.  If he keeps working with NASA, we have to shut down
the whole career. "
"Demage your career?  What career?"
"Don't need to know. " The only thing you have to do is to replace your father, otherwise, you have to live in the world alone.
No family.  You remember how your mother died ?  Remember what happed to the break?
"Of course I know.   You?  Did you kill my mother?"
"No, the one killed your mother not us, it's Y-O-U"  The thin lips under the black mask moved, bring out the word "YOU"
"That's right, YOU !" Another black shadow said.
"You remember the day, if you don't play basket ball with classmates so late, delay the time to go home.  We did not have time to
do it.
"you !"  Cloud remembered what happened the day, that it was snowing for few days, it was a beautiful sunny day,  he stayed in
school to play basketball with friends.  His mother parked the car in the parking lot, no response after calling him few times,
then she turned off the car, go to the basketball court to get him.   Then his mother stayed in the court to watch him play.
Quite a while , she stayed in the basketball court, being very patient wait there until the game finished.   He remember
the day, she has a ponytail, and fiddle the hair in the wind.   He saw her full of smile and applauded.   Tears come from
his eyes,  he tried not to let the tears come out.
"Then, what you want me to do ?  tell me."
"Simple.  Your father has secret base, you know that?"
"No. "  Cloud listens very carefully.
"That's all right, I think you will find out.   We will help you. "  Then one of the black shadow shown him a small piece of paper.
full of symbol and numbes.
"I cannot see, how can I see that with cloth covered?"  The black shadow man shows a cold smile.
"Simple !"  He brouthg an infrared light to take the object, then say" clear "
It shows some symbol and numbers:
2882772646693　And the next line wrote:  2862648
2272582510514　
The black shadow spoke with strange accent: "Do you understand that ? "
Cloud Ma shaked his head calmly: "No. "
"Will you know after few days ? "
He just watched the bulb over his head: "maybe.  Is my father safe ?"
"Don't worry, some one special as your father, we don't like him to be killed."
"Promise?"
"Of course, promise you with royal glory. "
"Royal ?  you from?"
"Right, as the way you thought about, but we are gentlemen.  Once we got the things we need, we will go.  Might be you will
be rich or get a royal medal. "
"What happen after I find the secret base ? "
"Let's see.  It's not good for children knowing too much.  Take a break.  Get some sleep."
