Bab 17: C16 Going to America
"Are you really alright with going alone, Nathalia? New York is on another country, it's not like travelling inside the Philippines. You may be lost."
Looking at her mom who has been constantly nagging at her since earlier, she was speechless.
"Mom, it's not like it's my first time. We went to New York for a few vacations in the past and we even have a house there. I will be fine."
"But, it's your first time travelling alone and-"
Nathalia sighed and although she felt warmth because she cares about her, "Mom I'll be fine. That's it, you said these things so much mom. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself and I also won't be lost. We have GPS so how can I be lost. I'm not an idiot."
After bickering with her mother for a bit, they said goodbye to each other and Nathalia boarded the private plane.
Nathalia sat in the cabin and closed her eyes to rest while the plane took off. She thought about the reason she's going to America this time and she opened her eyes, now with a fierce determined gaze on them.
Today is May 13th, Year 2019. In the past half year, she slowly prepared the things she needed to rescue her childhood best friend and now all of them are ready. Although it delayed her rescue for half a year, she knew that she needed ample preparations or else both of them will die there in America.
Nathalia then looked out the window and looked at the distant private runway they owned below where her mom is and said solemnly, "I'll be back... with her this time around."

**crash** **shatter**
Nathalia opened her eyes wide abruptly from her sleep as she looked at the direction of where the noise came from. It seems like something fell in the kitchen.
She then stood up and cautiously approached. According to her knowledge, there's no one else in the plane except her and the pilot. How could there be some commotion in the kitchen.
"Who's there!" As soon as she opened the door, she was shocked at the sight in front of her.
"Um..."
It was the pilot of their plane. He was looking at her with a shattered glass in his hand and he looked embarrassed.
"Why are you here?" Nathalia asked with a dark face. Who's piloting the plane?
"Ma'am, I went here to drink some water and..." The pilot looked at her face and knew what she was thinking, "...don't worry ma'am. The plane is on auto pilot."
Nathalia then nodded at him and immediately left the room after closing the door. Seeing her leave, the pilot sighed and continued picking up the shattered glass.
"You two can come out, Nathalia-sama returned to her seat."
As soon as he said that, the cabinet suddenly opened and two people came out. They are the twins, Alexa and Alec.
Alec took a deep sigh and said in relief, "That was close. We almost got caught."
"That's why I said that we don't need to come out of the storage room because there's already plenty food there!" Alexa exclaimed in a whisper.
"But there's no chocolate bars there-"
"No buts! If not for Mr. Pilot, we would've been caught and sent back to Philippines as soon as we landed." She added.
They weren't supposed to be here but they snuck in and hid in the storage room of the plane to come with Nathalia to America.
Nathalia already warned them that what she'll do will be extremely dangerous and she might even die from it. They tried to convince her that they can help but she didn't listen and forbade the two of them from coming to America with her. But they didn't listen as well as they really wanted to help Nathalia and rescue her friend and now they're here.
The pilot looked at the two of them and said, "Go back to the storage room now. I'll clean up here. You two are really stubborn to have snuck in here without anyone noticing."
"Hehe, thanks for not telling Nathalia about us mister." After Alexa said so, she dragged her brother who was carrying a bunch of chocolates with her to the storage room.
Looking at the two of them as they shut the door, the pilot just chuckled and shook his head. They really are good friends of the young miss to even sneak in a plane unnoticed just to be with her.
The pilot then continued to clean up. Meanwhile in Nathalia's room, Nathalia can be seen to be watching something on her laptop as a smug smile adorned her face.
"As expected..."
~ " . . . " ~
"When we land, how are we going to follow Nathalia unnoticed. We don't know the landing area that well and we'll probably be found out by her sooner or later." Alec asked his sister as he munched on the chocolate bar on his hand.
Alexa looked at him and said, "It's inevitable. We're not spies or anything and it's normal to be found out. But we need to stay undiscovered until at least this plane take off and go back to Philippines. That way we can stay here whether she likes it or not."
"Then how will we hide? We don't know the area where we'll land that well enough."
Alexa then thought deeply. Alec was right. They didn't know the place well enough to find hiding spots where they won't be found or any spots where they can be seen by surveillances. Alexa then thought of something and she looked at her brother before sighing.
"What? Do you have any idea?" Alec asked her curiously when he saw her stare at him like that.
Alexa sighed again. She knows that he won't like this idea one bit, but she still said it to him nonetheless, "The suitcases. We're small enough to fit in suitcases. We can hide in there for a while... at least until she's at the penthouse."
As expected as soon as Alec heard her idea, his face paled and he looked like he ate shit. Alec is uncomfortable with tight spaces. Being in a suitcase would be hell for him even by thinking about it. But she still said it because their choices are limited.
"You don't have to force yourself, it's either that or asking the pilot mister to help us snuck in these cargo boxes. We'll be inside tight spaces either way." Alexa patted the cargo box they were leaning on as she looked at Alec.
Alec then looked at the cargo box and took a deep breath. It's either bad or worse anyway, it don't matter much which he choose so he said his decision soon.
