The Alpha - Ligth 'Em Up
Mr. Tristan McLean
“Okay, thanks Piper, I owe you,” I say as I wave my hand in front of the Iris Message. Argus growls something.
“We’re stay with the same drop off point, we’ll walk to the set,” I tell him. He nods. The van stops and I wake Alex and Danny.
“We’re here already?” Danny asks.
“No, we’re just picking up our campervan. I’m driving because I’m the only person with a licence, Alex has no sense of direction and he’s been on the run for like 10,12 years and you’ve been trying to find your dad for like two years, but the good thing is that Americans allow greek licenses,” I tell him “Thanks Argus,” We all get out of the van. We start walking towards the movie set.
“Who are you and who are you here to see?” The stage assistant asked
“I’m Indy Wood, that’s my boyfriend Alex Chadwick and our best friend Danny Harrison, we’re here to see Tristan McLean, we’re friends of his daughter,” I reply, telling her our cover story
“Ah, yes you’re on the list, can I see some ID?” the assistant said. I pull out my slip.
“Library Card, school Library card, japanese yen conversion card, disneyland and disneysea tickets, old school ID, new school ID, here we go, drivers licence,” I hand her the plastic card that is my drivers licence.
“All seems to check out, how about you two?” The assistant says as she hands it back.
“I don’t drive,” Danny replied “My parents died in a car crash,”
“I can’t drive, no sense of direction apparently,” Alex said, glaring at me
“Well it’s true, you wouldn’t know left flank from right if it wasn’t for me,” I say
“Okay, he’s in his trailer,” The assistant said, writing something down on her clipboard. We nod our thanks and head off, through the gates. We start talking when I bump into someone.
“Sorry,” I say “Today is not my day,”
“That’s okay, you could say I’m away with the wind, my name’s Mellie,” The lady says
“Mellie, where have I heard that name before?” Alex mutters
“Coach Hedge has a wife called Mellie, remember, he went with Percy and the others two years ago,” I tell him
“You know Gleeson?” Mellie asked
“Yeah, he’s my swim team coach and he likes to keep an eye on me for some reason,” I say “we’re looking for Tristan McLean we were told he was he was in his trailer,” Danny said “Can you show us where he is?”
“Sure, come right this way,” Mellie said.
Mellie knocks on the door.
“Mr McLean, your daughter’s friends are here for the campervan,” She says
“Bring them in,” Mr McLean’s voice said. Mellie pushed the door open.
“Nice to meet you Mr McLean, thank you so much for giving us the campervan,” I say “It’s the perfect way to show my boyfriend and best friend America,”
“It’s no worries, Pipes told me how important this trip is to you and your friends, how is she by the way?” Mr McLean asked
“She’s going fine, she’s head of her house, there was some problems within it when she came but now with Piper in charge it’s got better,” Alex replies. Mr McLean hands him the keys.
“Actually Indy’s the one driving,” Her says “I didn’t bother getting a license and either did Danny,”
“The only reason I got one is because I have to drive a tour bus everywhere,” I mumble
“Mr McLean, you’re due on the set,” Mellie said, checking her watch.
“You’ll find the van in bay 7,” Mr Mclean told us, rushing out the door.
“Thanks Mellie, we’ll take it from here,” Danny says. We too rush out the door.
