He woke up to nothing but darkness. The only thing he could remember was telling Flora to make a run for it.
Flora.. Where was she now? Did she even make it? But better yet, where was he?
It had all started when Flora and Luke wanted to go to a party, but the Professor told them no.
"Professor, please can we go?" Luke begged
"I promise we'll be home early!" Flora joined in.
Layton sighed and looked up from his paper. "I'm sorry. But my mind is made up. I just don't have a good feeling about it, and that's all I will hear on the matter." He turned back to his paper.
Flora sighed and Luke quietly whispered to her "Don't worry. I have a plan."
Later that night, Flora and Luke said their goodnights to the Professor and ran upstairs.
"Alright, let's get dressed and sneak out to the party, have a bit of fun and then come home. The Professor won't even know we're gone. He usually turns in early anyway."
"I don't know.. Are you sure he won't come to check on us?" Flora said nervously.
"Relax Flora. He never does, so why should he start now?" Luke said pulling on his jacket.
"Well.. Alright I guess we'll do this, but we stay no more then two hours. Got it?" Flora said reaching for her brush to quickly run through her hair.
Luke turns to her before replying. "You got it. Now let's get out of here!"
They quietly snuck downstairs to see the Professor nowhere in sight. Quickly, they opened the front door and quietly shut it behind them, starting to run as soon as they were clear.
"We did it!" Flora exclaimed and let out a sigh of relief.
"I told you we'd be able to. Now, come on. I know a shortcut." Luke said as they cut through an alley.
"Luke.. It's dark. I'm really scared.." Flora said nervously.
Luke sighed and took Flora's hand. "It's okay, I'm right here. We'll be there in a few minutes."
Little did they know, they were being followed.
