A Brush with Fate
Here it is, Chapter 2! I'm getting all excited over this!
Chapter 2, London 2010:
The Hostage:
He had this girl hostage, and all he wanted to do was talk to Alex Drake. Who was she anyway? Lea tried to see over peoples shoulders as they were all taken behind the police tape, eager to see a bit of action to make their day more exciting.
I'm happy, hope your happy...BOOM!
Before she could notice, a little girl had run out into the path of Arthur and he had caught her. He slowly backed towards the steps shouting at the girl to down down them, while Alex Drake screamed in complete fear, Was that girl her daughter?
She knew this would be bad, but if there was one thing Lea always did, it was to never follow rules she didn't agree with. Running to the next lot of steps, she went down them onto the same level as the man and the little girl, but before she reached the girl, Lea tripped onto the stone-filled floor with a loud thud, which Arthur heard.
"Is anyone there? Who's followin' me?" He shouted worringly, sneaking around trying to find the intruder. "Let her go!" Lea shouted at Arthur, but something then stopped her from saying anything else, he did look familiar...
"The photo...in the police station?" She whispered to herself, thinking of that time when he dad was hit, she saw a photofit of the suspect. "He looked like you."
"Well, he shouldn't have been in the road! Not my fault he's dead, and you will be soon if you don't piss off!" He muttered through his tiny mouth, still grabbing onto this girl who was nearly crying, "When you meet your dad, he can explain it all."
"How? He's dead! How could I possibly meet him?"
A gunshot then rung out from below the steps, the copper ran down, but no one saw what happened.
