Chapter 2

It was later that day and Becca was again in the kitchen, trying to keep to herself. Having Michael and Lincoln there made her scared and nervous. Becca knew deep down neither Michael nor Lincoln would cause her any harm, but them being escaped fugitives was the main problem.

Michael was in the living room sitting on the sofa when Lincoln came out of the bathroom.

" That shower sure did help," Lincoln said sitting down," Are you going to tell me what you know about her?"

" Becca?" Michael asked," She keeps to herself," She did that when I first knew her. The first day I met her, she had short hair and wearing a baseball cap. Becca was a tomboy then, but as she got older, she changed."

" Why didn't you ever mention her before?" Lincoln asked," It's obvious she is very fond of you."

Michael looked back to where the kitchen was. Becca was sitting at the table and said nothing.

" When are we leaving?" Lincoln asked.

" Right now we are safe and sound," Michael said," Away from everything else."

Becca heard what Michael said," You know that won't last long," she said," You two are considered armed and dangerous. I think you need to leave as soon as possible."

Michael got up," Becca," he said," We don't mean you any harm. We won't hurt you."

Becca knew that was true, but was still scared out of her mind.

" This is such a dangerous situation," Becca said," But you didn't twist my arm or anything."

Becca then sat down. Michael sat back down too.

" I'm sorry," Michael said," We will be out in the next day or two. We have time to spare."

" She's right Michael," Lincoln said," As much as we appreciate it."

" You're very welcome," Becca said," Even though this could be more dangerous in the end."

Becca then got up again," I need some air," she said," I'll be right back."

Michael and Lincoln watched as Becca went outside.

" This isn't right," Michael said," I shouldn't of involved her."

Lincoln got up and paced around.

" How did you run into her again?" Lincoln asked.

Michael got up," Becca went away to school," he said," I last saw her when she left for college. Becca went on to college in Michigan. She was able to get one of those alumni scholarships. I saw her again before the new year. Becca looked the same and brought back memories of when I first new her."

Becca heard that too as she came back in.

" My brother Jonathan introduced us," Becca said," He was funny about it. He said,' Oh don't mind her, that's just my sister.'"

Michael grinned at her and Becca let out a sigh.

" Hey," Michael told her," I truly am sorry."

Becca walked closer," You don't need to be," she said," It's not your fault. I've heard all about it. If you believe in the truth then there's nothing I can do about it. I accept you opinions. I guess I should say it's nice to meet you Lincoln. Michael has told me about you in that short time. I don't understand half of it. I guess I am not as insightful as I thought I was."

Becca then went towards the back room when she looked back.

" Anyway I can help you," Becca said," I will try. I believe in the truth as dangerous as it is."

" Thanks," Michael said.

Becca then went to the back bedroom.

" So what are we going to do with her?" Lincoln asked," I have a bad feeling."

" She won't tell Linc," Michael said," I have to have faith and believe that she won't. Becca won't tell."
