I waited for you today
but you didn't show
no no no
I needed you today
so where did you go?
you told me to call
said you'd be there
and though I haven't seen you
are you still there?
-
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel you by my side so
I'll hold tight to what I know
you're here, and I'm never alone
-
and though I cannot see you
and I can't explain why
such a deep, deep reasurence
you've placed in my life
-
we cannot separate
'cause you're part of me
and though you're invisable
I'll trust the unseen
-
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel you by my side so
I'll hold tight to what I know
you're here, and I'm never alone

"L-Logan?" Rory could barely believe it. Logan? calling her? Mitchum's eyes widened in disbeleif at Rory's words.
"How are you doing?"
"How am I doing? How am I doing?! Logan I should be the one asking you that."
"You found out." he said calmly.
"I found out? you mean you weren't going to tell me? Logan I have been worrying about you for the past three days, and then, I get a visit from your father telling me what happened. And to top it all off, you call me, and pretend like nothing's happened! How could you do that to me?"
"Ace, I was going to tell you, I just, I didn't want you to worry."
a single tear slipped silently down Rory's cheek, she sniffed.
"Ace..."
"yeah?"
"I love you"
She sniffed again, "I love you too," she said in a small voice.
"Where are you?"
"The paper."
"Who else is in the room with you?"
"Your dad."
"What? My dad? What the hell is he doing there" Logan paused, "oh, he was telling you..."
"yeah," she whispered.
"So he's listening to this conversation?"
"yeah."
there was a long pause, then he said, "can I talk to him?"
"um... sure," Rory said, a little confused. She handed the phone to Mitchum, "he wants to talk to you." she said
Astonishment spread across Mitchum's face. he grabbed the phone and pressed it against his ear. he nodded a couple of times and mumbled, "Uh-huh" once or twice, but other than that, he said nothing. After a few minutes, he flipped the phone closed and handed it back to Rory. "he says that they want one million dollars by tomorrow."
"Aren't they in London?" she asked.
"Yes," he responded, "In five hours, they are going to call my phone and give me the directions from the airport, so I'm going to leave," he glanced at the clock on the wall, "in half and hour."
"I'm coming." Rory stated.
"Now, Rory-"
"I'm coming."
"I don't think-"
"I'm coming."
"But-"
"I'm coming."
Mitchum sighed, "fine, you're coming."
oo0O0oo
A loud tapping noise echoed through the almost empty airport. Rory sat on one of the cuchioned chairs, her foot moving up and down at a quick pace. Mitchum paced slowly in front of her. back and forth. Back. And. Forth. The loud ringing of Mitchums phone stopped all noise. Rory stared at Mitchum. He picked up the phone.
"Hello?" He motioned to Rory to pick up the large black bag that held the money, and they walked outside. They walked for a while, going down sidewalks and up alleys. until finally, Mitchum stopped in front af a mundane grey warehouse. He pointed at the the door and said to Rory, "That's where they are." He closed his phone and was about to open the door when Rory's phone rang. Mitchum looked at Rory as if to say, What timing.
"Hello?"
"Hello. are you Rory Gilmore?"
"yes, that's me."
"I am one of the men holding young Mr. Huntzberger captive."
"What?"
"I want you to take the money inside, Ms. Gilmore. without Mr. Huntzberger" Rory could hear Logan shouting in the backround, but could not make out his exact words.
Rory pursed her lips, "Fine."
"Excellent, Ms. Gilmore."
Rory closed her phone and turned to Mitchum, "They want me to take the money, not you."
Mitchum's eyes widened in surprise. He stared ay her for a minute, then without a word he handed the bag to her. She gripped it with a sweaty hand, took a deep breath and turned the doornob.

a/n: cliffhanger! I love doing that! although I hate it when I'm reading something that ends a chapter on a cliffhanger, I guess I'm being kind of a hypocrite... oh well! It may take me a while to get the next chapter up... Sorry!
