Summery: When Lesley Lu disappears on a camping trip in the mountains, Luke and Laura set out to find her.



Chapter 1

Laura was in her office signing contracts when Luke walked in. She didn't notice him until he was standing right in front of her desk.

"Luke, I didn't hear you come in," she said. "What are you doing here?"

"I have some great news. How would you like to take a little trip?"

"A trip? Where?"

"A camping trip to the mountains," he said.

"Did you just decide this today? I mean, how come you haven't mentioned this before?"

"I didn't know anything about it till today. Bobbie just called me. One of the nurses at the hospital was supposed to go on this trip with her family. Her son got sick and they can't go. Since the cabin was paid for she offered it to Bobbie for the week."

"And Bobbie asked us to go with her, right?" Laura asked.

"You got it! She and Scott are taking Lucas and wants the two of us, Lulu, Lesley, Lucky and Nikolas to go."

"That's great! We've never had a family vacation before. Luke, are you ok with Nikolas going?"

Luke was silent for a moment. "Yes, I'm fine with it. I know how much it would mean to you."

She smiled at him.

"Thanks Luke. When do we leave?"

"Early Saturday morning."

"I can't wait to tell Lulu. She'll be so excited. She's never been camping before and was so upset that she had to miss her troops campout a few weeks ago."

"Well, if you're ready to head home, I can give you a ride."

Laura stood up and nodded. She turned out the lights, dropped the contracts on Elton's desk and walked out with Luke's arm around her.
