The Hunters

---

Sorry.

You move well for a pregnant woman.

Pilates.

And how's the baby?

It's a girl.

I saw a couple running towards there.

Gotta go.

I'm worried.

Don't be.

We'll lose them in 15 seconds. Time me.

No, I mean about Paxton.

Nah. Paxton's a big boy.

He wants to sail around

the world by himself.

At his age, we were in a cave.

Face down, back want 'em.

And highly did some pretty

heavily armed Peruvian monks.

The Golden Egg of Montupet.

Our first job together.

11 seconds!

Pack some a trip for great kids.

But they're not kids anymore.

We hardly see them 'cuz we're always away!

Okay, okay.

After this job, we'll take some time off.

I promise.

You say that everytime.

Hang on, honey.

16 seconds, you lied to me.

There's a first time for everything.

Come on.

Hey, you sure you don't want some?

No. Thank you.

She is late and that is not like her.

Maybe, we hardly know her.

I could say the same about you.

I had to make sure I wasn't being followed.

And were you?

No.

Good. Neither were we.

Is that it?

Yes.

I acquired it three days ago.

It's useless without the

key and we don't have it.

We acquired this two days ago.

The light will show you the way.

Is it supposed to do something?

The Light of Naga.

I'm very attracted to you right now.

The Nia falls.

It's too far across.

We'll never make it.

You've a lot to learn

about this business, Mai.

So there's a passage

on the other side of that water. uh...

Oh.

Well that would be fun

for you since I did the last one.

I know.

I know.

Is he okay?

Okay!

Get ready to run!

Um.

Run from what?

Sometimes there are booby

traps that triggers.

Jordyn!

Nope!

Just a stick!

Sure! Scared the new guy.

Ladies first.

What a gentleman.

If I didn't know any better,

I think you are flirting with Mai.

Well, I guess it's good you know better.

Jordyn!

Jordyn!?

Carter don't!

Uh. Mai?

Guess you knew me even

less than you thought.

You already have the vz.

Why don't you just let us go?

And spend the rest of my life

looking over my shoulder?

You guys are hunters after all.

By the way, Mason says hello.

Fire!

Didn't you hear me say don't?

No. I don't like following orders.

That's exactly where the kids get it from.

Are we done?

Yeah.

We're done.

I told you not to harm them.

What does it matter.

You have what you wanted.

Do I?

There are four shards in total.

This, is just one of them.

That's why I needed them

alive to find the others.

Oops.

Who else knows what they knew?

No one.

Actually, that may not be true.

Hello!?

Hello?

Hey!

What do you want?

I wanna know if you have any spray cheese?

Tripp!

What are you doing home?

Looking for the spray cheese.

I just said that.

Nevermind.

Found it.

You ran away from school again?

A, I don't call it school. I

call it juvenile detention.

Emphasis on the juvenile part.

And B, I came here 'cuz

you told me to. Look!

Come to me.

Hugs and kisses.

Why would I possibly wanna see you?

And when's the last time

we hugged and kissed?

Ouch.

Sorry that came out

nastier than I imagined.

Well, If you didn't send it. Who did?

You did.

What?

Why would I do that?

Because this is a classic

tripp-flynn-get-out-of-the-school ploy.

Just like the time you convinced

your headmaster you have vibrissae?

You had to come home for treatment?

It's not my fault he didn't know

what the latin word for nose hair was.

I didn't send the text.

I don't care.

I'm taking you back to school tomorrow.

Don't you think we should

at least wait 'til Monday?

I mean, it's Thursday.

Maybe we could actually have a weekend?

You still planning on sailing

around the world on your own?

I'm leaving next week as long as I don't

get delayed by anymore little brothers.

Well, I want you to know that if anything would've

happened to you, I'd take good care of your car.

Heh.

Paxton Flynn?

I'm Agent Valtis.

And this is Agent Lahtasi.

We're with Interpol.

Interpol?

They're missing?

Right after stealing an

artifact from a museum.

Our parents are thieves?

They're researchers.

Really?

You think your parents can

afford all this on researchers' salaries?

I'm a kid.

I don't know the value of things.

Your parents are international thieves.

Interpol has been following them for years.

Did they ever say anything

to you about missing shards?

What, like pieces of pottery?

Uh, no.

From a mirror.

No. Not to me.

They're not thieves.

I always knew they were up to something.

Who? Mom and Dad?

Dr. Dollan? Professor Dellar?

Come on!

Do you remember that golden kettle they

brought back from the orient last year?

Yes and they returned it a museum.

No. They didn't.

Okay, I caught them talking

about hiding it in some secret room.

And when they saw that I caught them,

you know what mom told me?

I wouldn't understand.

They stole it.

Okay. Well, there must be a valid reason.

Tripp, think! All of this.

All of our wealth.

Why do you think they stuck

us on boarding schools?

Too little hard to be international thieves

while your dragging your kids along.

No, you're wrong and you know it.

I'm right and we all know it.

Yeah, we know what Pax?

When you cut off mom and

dad, you cut me off too.

Are they okay?

We don't know.

We're hoping that you could help us.

You said something about a secret room?

What did they steal this time?

A vz.

Very old.

T'was, hidden in a secret cave in Thailand but it

was stolen from the island of Tuvalu years ago.

And Inspector Latassi's governement

is obviously very keen to have it returned.

Would you mind if I took a look

at your badges, just one more time, please?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Agent Lahtasi from Tuvalu.

That's right.

Pax, would you mind if I

talk to you for a second?

About what?

In private?

We can talk here. We're all just

trying to help each other, right?

Ah wait, no. It's just...

Brother stuff how to talk to girls and put on

deodorant, that kind of thing. Right, Pax?

Enough games!

Something tells me those aren't

Interpol standard issue.

How'd you know they were lying?

Tuvalu's not a member of Interpol.

Smart kid!

Now where's the three missing shards?

I don't know anything. I swear.

It's true. I've known my

whole life, he knows nothing.

Perhaps in the secret room

we've been hearing so much about.

Tripp?

Run!

Wait a minute, you wouldn't...

Oh no. Now I have your crossbow.

Pax, look out!

So do I.

Dylan.

Pax.

You know each other?

Move, move!

Let's go Lahtasi.

Way to go.

I cannot shoot a stranger with a crossbow.

I will.

Where'd you learn to fight like that?

Remember those karate

classes mom and dad made me take?

Where'd you learn to move like that?

Remember those gymnastics

class that mom made me take?

Yeah.

Who were those guys?

Murderers thugs.

Disguised as interpol agents.

But don't worry, I took care of 'em.

Name's Flynn.

Tripp Flynn.

Wait. How exactly do you

guys know each other again?

Uh. We are, acquaintances.

It's one word for it.
