"You robbed a store, come here, and give your mama some stolen money!" Dan said.

"She needs help, Dan. She needs treatment," Lucas yelled.

"Keep your voice down!" Dan snapped.

"I don't see you getting off your ass and helping her," Lucas hissed. Dan chuckled.

"I have a job and slowly, I pay for her medicine," Dan said.

"Keyword, Dan, slowly. Mama is not gonna make it much longer. Cancer is a killing disease," Lucas spat.

"Don't come in here with your stolen money and think you are better than me!" Dan said.

"I didn't say that. I said that she is gonna die without help," Lucas said. Dan pressed a gun to Brooke's head.

"Take the money and get the hell out of here," Dan ordered. Lucas pulled out his gun and shot it!

BANG! A body hit the floor!

Brooke screamed and rushed into Lucas' arms. Lucas held Brooke's scared body. Dan lay on the bed, blood oozing from his arm. Brooke softly cried. What a day.

"Shhhhh…you're safe," Lucas whispered in her ear. "Come on, let's get out of here."

"You didn't kill him, did you?" Brooke asked once they got in the car.

"I just clipped him. Besides, the bastard pulled a gun to your head," Lucas said. Brooke smiled. Maybe he wasn't as bad as he seemed. "What are you smiling about?" Lucas asked.

"Nothing," Brooke said simply. Lucas eyed her.

"We are going to pull over and sleep," Lucas said as he pulled the car over into the woods. Brooke looked at him strangely. "What?"

"How are we gonna sleep?" Brooke asked. Lucas reclined his seat back.

"Like this, but only for a little bit. In the morning we are getting new outfits and new identities," Lucas said. Brooke nodded. She reclined her chair and tried to sleep. Lucas watched her. She was so beautiful, the way the moonlight hit her long brown hair.

"Brooke," Lucas said as he shook Brooke. She shot up.

"What?" she asked scared. Lucas laughed.

"We are at the store, now, we go in together and leave together," Lucas said.

"But won't people recognize us?" Brooke asked. Lucas shrugged.

"We are in a new state. Get food and different things, for we have a long road trip," Lucas said as he exited the car.

"A long road trip?" Brooke asked. Lucas nodded.

"We are going to Vegas," Lucas said. Brooke gasped. She was going to Vegas with a robber. Well, he was kinda cute. "Grab my hand. In public we are a couple to not look so suspicious. My name is Chad Robert, and you are Ashley Klien."

"No, I'm not Ashley. I am Courtney," Brooke corrected. Lucas laughed. Brooke slipped her hand into his. He had soft skin. They entered the store. Lucas' grip got tighter as he looked at the police. "Where to?" Brooke asked.

"We need food, drinks, a cooler, and whatever you women need," Lucas listed.

"What do you mean you women?" Brooke asked.

"Pads, tampons, I don't want you bleeding in my car," Lucas said rather loud. Brooke glared.

"How mature," Brooke huffed. They made their way to the food aisle. Lucas piled a bag of chips in the cart. Brooke grabbed health bars and threw them in the cart.

"It's very mature," Lucas said. Brooke giggled. He had this dark side that was almost pulling her in, and yet, his soft side was attractive too.

"Excuse me, sir," a voice said. Lucas and Brooke slowly turned around. Oh, no, the police had found them. Brooke sighed. Didn't she want to go?

"Yes?" Lucas asked the dude.

The small guy with flaming red hair responded, "Would you like a free sample?" he held up a tray filled with cheese. Lucas took one and popped it in his mouth. A smile formed on his face. Yummy. "Hey, haven't I seen you on television?"

"My boyfriend does a lot of acting," Brooke lied.

"Really, what kind?" he asked.

"He does teeth commercials," Brooke said.

"Oh, I thought he looked like a guy on the news last night," the guy responded. Brooke and Lucas knew they had to get out of there.

"Well, my boyfriend is a star," Brooke said as she wrapped her arms around Lucas.

"Aww, thanks babe," Lucas went along with the act.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you," the guy said as he turned on a heel and left.

"We did it!" Brooke said as she jumped up and down. Lucas looked at her and laughed.

"You're a dork," Lucas said. Brooke scoffed.

"And you're a robber," Brooke said without thinking about what she said. "I'm sorry," she said quickly.

"Anything else?" Lucas asked as he pushed the cart.

"We need music," Brooke said.

"I'm not paying for CD's," Lucas said. Brooke gave him the puppy dog pout.

"But the new Usher Cd is out!" Brooke exclaimed.

"Fine, get a Nirvana CD," Lucas said. Brooke sped off and returned with the CDs. "You pay," Lucas said as he handed her the money. They approached the check out line.

"Hello, there, how are you?" the cashier asked as she scanned the chips.

"Fine thanks," Brooke answered humbly.

"Hey, sugar, this your boy?" The cashier asked looking at Lucas.

"Yeah, that's my boyfriend," Brooke answered quickly.

"Alright, sixty dollars," she said. Brooke handed her the money. Lucas and Brooke walked outside. They hopped into Brooke's small car.

"Ready for Vegas?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah, but can I ask you something?" Brooke asked. Lucas nodded. "How come your not treating me like an actual hostage?"

"I am, you had to act like you were my girlfriend. Wasn't that painful?" Lucas asked with a laugh.

"No, I meant, you don't keep a gun to my head, hurt me, rape me," Brooke listed. Lucas looked at her.

"There is something about you that told me, 'don't hurt this girl!" Lucas said.
