Field Trip Chapter 2

Flynn pulled up to Target and waited for someone in a uniform to pull up. He glanced over at Lucy to see she was still fast asleep. She was curled on to her side facing him, she still held his hand in hers. He smiled at her when she gave a soft snore. It looked like she was finally getting some sleep, so he decided to wait until the store was open. 45 minutes later a woman pulled up in a 1980 clunker, when she sild out of the car she had a red Target shirt on. Flynn waited another 30 minutes to make sure that she wasn't coming back out before reaching over and brushing his knuckles down Lucy's cheek.

"Wake up." He whispered. "Lucy, time to go on a shopping spree."

His heart tripped a little when her eyes fluttered, and she looked at him with a soft smile and a soft Humm. His heart nearly burst when she woke up and the first reaction was not fear or worry, but soft happiness. "Time to go, Slatka Draga." He said again.

She stretched slowly, arms against the celling and toes pointing. Flynn had to take a sharp breath when her chest pushed up against the fabric of his gray sweater. She looked over him with a grin, "Best sleep ever. Well at least for now, because I am getting a bed." She said sitting up to look out the window.

"So, what is the plan?" She asked him and when he pointed to the rusted tan car, she looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"What?" He shrugged sliding out of the SUV, "It will be easy to hot wire, no tracking and an easy color to get lost."

She rolled her eyes and followed him as he was constantly scanning to see if anyone was watching or following. "Really?" She asked again as she slid into the passenger seat.

Flynn shrugged, "Not taking a chance… that's why you brought me, remember?" He said pulling out the cables to jump start the car.

She raised her hands and pointed at the steering wheel, "No, I brought you because you can hot wire a car." She looked over at Flynn with a sarcastic grin, "And tell a mean joke."

Flynn paused to look at her for a moment before rolling his eyes, "This all goes back to the joke about band camp. I tell one joke and you think it lasts forever." He mumbled as he jumped the car. He pulled out of the spot to out to road, "Although I did see something funny a few weeks ago on our mission to save Tesla." He said grinning at her.

"What's that?" She asked.

Flynn looked over at her, "I watched Wyatt cry as I loaded him into the life boat after he got shot in the leg." He said with a straight face.

Lucy raised an eyebrow in confusion, "How is that a joke?"

Flynn grinned, "Cause I made Wyatt cry when I tightened the tourniquet… and his face was all splotchy and red…. Made my day."

Lucy rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Really." She mumbled but tried to hide a grin.

Flynn shrugged, "What can I say… I am easily amused." He got serious as they pulled up a half a block past her house. He grabbed her hand when she went to get out. "Wait." He said still looking around. After a few moments he nodded before giving her a glance, ok we will have 5 minutes in there. After five minutes, if there are sensors, people will be on the way. SO, what do you want now. Make a list, so you know what you are going in for." He said.

Lucy bit her lip for a moment thinking, "Well the credit cards and the debit cards for sure. I am going on a massive shopping trip." She thought for a moment then her eyes brightened, "Some more of MY clothes, I have missed my clothes." She thought again for moment, "Maybe some of the things in my room. Honestly, I don't have a lot of memory things because of when the time line changed, and I lost my dad, the dad I grew up with and Amy." She whispered.

Flynn closed his eyes for a moment before looking back up at her, "I am so sorry about that Lucy…if I had known…" He trailed off.

She looked at him with a small smile, "I knew." She whispered, tightening her hand over his.

He looked at her with a question in his eyes.

She shrugged, "When I gave you the journal, I had to have known. I sent you back there, trying to stop them. Even now when I am writing it in my journal. I tell you to go back to that day… that event. But I haven't written anything about Amy." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "I know what sending you back will do. I know the loss, but to stop Rittenhouse. To stop this evil…." She took a deep breath and smiled, "I have to believe that we will be able to go back and save her. That losing her for a little while will stop this great evil. Then we can save her…. Save your family. Save all of them." She looked him right in the eyes, "And if for some horrible, horrible reason we can't get them back. We will live for them… we will fight for them. They WILL not be forgotten!" She said fiercely.

He nodded at her, before abruptly reaching for her and pulling her into a tight hug, silence descending over both of them. She pushed her face into his neck, clenching him as tightly as he was holding her. He was whispering in her ear, "Žao mi je, tako mi je žao. Bit ćemo dobro." Over and over again as he brushed her hair from her face.

After a moment she pulled back and brushed her hands down his face, "What does that mean?" She asked softly.

He looked down at her, his eyes misting with tears he refused to let fall, "I am sorry, we will be ok." He said softly.

She smiled up at him, "Yes we will be… because we are going to kick some ass and save the world." She said, she brushed her hand own his cheek, "Hvala ti." She whispered.

His eyes flared in surprise, "How." He asked.

She shrugged, "I have been looking up and practicing… but truly…. Hvala ti…. Thank you…... for being here, for supporting me. Making me smile, making me laugh." She smiled up at him, "Now let's go mess with my mother, and bleed her dry."

It had the desired effect when he grinned down at her, "Sounds good, So lets plan." He said pulling back to look around again, "Where do you keep the luggage?" He asked as he got out of the car.

She walked up next to him as they went to the side of the house, "I have some bags in my closet. Let's get the cards and then move onto my bedroom." She said.

He pulled her around the back to a window by the kitchen, "Ok hold on." He whispered. He looked through the window for any movement, when he didn't see anything he reached up and went to break the glass when she pulled his arm to a stop. "What?" He whispered thinking that she saw something.

She walked over to the back door and pulled a key out from the top of the sill, then she slid the door open and ran to the key pad, pushing in a code. Flynn followed her with a grin and laughed when she shrugged at him.

She then rushed through the kitchen into the office, puling open drawers until she found the wallet she was looking for. She held it up with a grin when she saw the cards in it, he shook his head at her with a smile. "OK, lets go." He said reaching out for her.

"Wait." She said handing him the cards, before running over to the books on the shelves.

"Lucy, honey... we can download any book you have in here." Flynn said looking at her with a grin, motioning her to come on.

Lucy shook her head, still pulling out books one by one until she squealed and held the book up in triumph. He looked up at her with one raised eyebrow, "The revolution, that's a good book." Flynn said, "We still could have down loaded it."

She grinned at him, "Yes but could you download this." She said pulling out a few hundred-dollar bills. "Quick look at all the books that have to do with revolutions. There will be more."

Flynn raised an eye brown and stared looking through the books with her, and within two minutes they had over two thousand dollars in cash. They slid all of the books back into place and moved to the stairs, within another 2 minutes they had made it to Lucy's room, pulled a few of bags out of the closet and began to fill them with her clothes. Flynn looked at her as she pulled all of her underwear from a drawer and shoved them into a new bag. When he just looked at her she rolled her eyes, "What I like my Victoria Secrets. They gave me white briefs. I hate them." She said with a shrug.

"One minute, Lucy. What else do you want before we go." He asked.

Lucy stood up and looked around, "My candles, I want to have my room in the bunker smell good. I am over the rust and damp smell." Flynn shrugged and began to shove them into the bags, carful to keep them wrapped in clothes so they didn't break. Lucy turned back to the closet to grab sweaters and coats. Before grabbing one more bag to shove shoes, socks, leggings and pants into it. Finally, Flynn opened the last drawer filled with pajamas and shoved them in the top of the bags he had.

"Ok you good?" Flynn asked picking up the 4 bags he had.

She nodded pulling her 3 bags, "I think I got everything except evening gowns and suits." She said following him to the door, "Wait." She said running back to grab the quilt on the end of the bed, "My grandma made this for me when I was little." She said. She followed him down the stairs to the back door.

Flynn looked down at her, "For a quick trip you sure do pack heavy." He said with a grin. She smiled back, "Hay I want MY stuff and it is all right here ready for the taking."

He rolled his eyes at her, "Come on, lets go. Stay behind me on the way to the car."

"Sir, yes sir." She said grinning and hugging her blanket close.

"Smart ass." He mumbled, he paused at the side of the house looking left and right before nodding and walking over to the car. He pushed her stuff into the back seat and slid in the driver's seat. "Alright shopping then on to home sweet home."

He pulled out and did several turns and circles making sure that if anyone was following them they were lost. He turned to her as they pulled into the Target. As they were transferring her bags from the car to the SUV, "So Draga, I know you have a long list of things you want but how on earth are you getting a mattress in this SUV?" He asked as slid his hand into hers and pulled her close.

She grinned up at him as they walked into the store, "Well it so happens that I saw a commercial for this new kind of mattress that they can roll up and put into a box!"

So, this entire story started because I saw everyone laying on those cots and I know how uncomfortable they are. Then I was walking through Target and saw mattress in a box. I was like…. Ideal! Lol

Tomorrow is TARGET shopping!
