The ride to England won't take long at all. It's only a two hour flight from Berlin. We sat in the same seats. We talked back and forth about our discovery.

" 15 warheads!" Zoe exclaimed. " That's enough to blow up an entire country! What could they possibly be doing with 15 warheads?" She asked.

Mike shrugged. " Nuke an entire country like you said. They are evil after all. That's what evil people do." He said.

Catherine shook her head. " I can't believe Orion would give someone 15 warheads for over four billion dollars! Why would he do such a thing?"

" He did give weapons to SPYDER." Alexander said.

" I know, but still. He shouldn't sell nuclear weapons for more than four billion dollars. Something's not right." Catherine said. She looked a little uneasy. She put a hand on her stomach.

" What's wrong?" Erica asked. Suddenly, Catherine's breathing became rapid. She turned a little green. She started unbuckling her seatbelt. Erica gasped, and quickly pulled out a bucket out of nowhere. She put it underneath Catherine's mouth, and Catherine threw up. Alexander started patting her on the back. Erica held her hair up. She threw up for a good 45 seconds. The bucket was already halfway full.

Catherine leaned back and started breathing slowly. Erica wiped her mouth with a tissue. Then, she took the bucket, and dumped it out in the bathroom.

" Are you okay?" We all asked Catherine.

Catherine nodded. " Yes, I'm fine thank you." Alexander handed her some water.

" Here, drink some water." He said.

" Drink it slowly!" Erica yelled from the bathroom. Catherine took a few sips. She seemed fine now, but she was still a little pale.

" Throwing up is a normal side effect of pregnancy. I'm used to it. I'll be fine. No worries." Catherine said. She smiled at us.

Erica rinsed out the bucket, and put it beside her mom.

" Thank you dearie." Catherine said. She put a hand on Erica's shoulder. She leaned on Erica. Her eyes grew droopy, and she yawned. Erica draped her blanket over Catherine. She rubbed her back until she fell asleep. Then, she did something I never thought she would ever do.

She kissed her on the top of her head, and said, " Love you mom." Then she looked out the window.

I listened closely, and heard the faintest whisper. I don't know if anyone else heard it, but I know I did.

" I love you too, Erica."

" We're arriving at our destination. Prepare for landing." Cyrus said on the intercom. We buckled our seatbelts. I looked out the window. I could see the busy streets of London down below. We soared past Big Ben. The huge clock tower was a magnificent sight to see up close.

I heard the sound of a camera shot. I turned to see that Zoe was taking pictures of Mike. Mike was posing in the window next to Big Ben. Zoe took a few more pictures of him.

" Ok, now take some pics of me!" Zoe said. She handed the phone to Mike. Mike held up the camera as Zoe made a pose. He took a couple of pictures.

" Here let's take a selfie. " Mike said. He stood beside Zoe. Zoe turned a little red, and smiled with Mike. They took a lot of pictures, and made different poses.

" Come on you two, strap in. We're landing now." Erica said. Mike and Zoe obeyed. They strapped in, and looked at all the pictures they took. They pointed out the ones they liked. While they were doing this, the plane tipped downward. It stayed like that for a couple minutes, then the plane shook as the wheels hit the runway. The plane straightened out, and Cyrus parked it.
