Lucy put her head into her hands as she paced the room. It wasn't small enough to make her claustrophobia go wild but it was close.
She had no clue where Wyatt and Rufus was, she didn't know where she was, for that matter. And that is what was driving her crazy.
"Okay," she whispered to herself. She took a deep breath and glanced through the room. "Escape. Escape."
With the thought of "Escape," motivating her actions, she searched for a way out.
~•~•~•~
"Excuse me, have you seen a woman about this tall, black hair brown eyes," This man was the sixth person Wyatt and Rufus asked. "She was wearing blue..."
In the midst of chaos, they somehow lost track of Lucy. He blamed himself for not keeping a better eye on his team especially Lucy.
He felt like she was going to hate him for leaving her alone again; for being abducted again.
He knew it wasn't Flynn this time and that was certainly not settling. At least with him, Wyatt knew Flynn wouldn't kill her. She was too important to Flynn.
So, what's stopping the kidnapper from hurting Lucy?
Nothing.
And that was an extra push.
"Uh, yeah. She was headed with a man to the hotel behind that diner." The gentleman pointed in the direction he spoke of.
"Thanks a lot."
The men raced to the hotel.

It felt like she has been stuck for hours. She pushed every part of the wall, tried to listen to any movement beyond the enclosing walls, but no avail.
She had looked hard. Was, looking hard. So intensely that her eyes actually began to hurt. Water began clouding her vision as she slowly began to break down.
Harry Houdini's voice was fervent in the back of her mind but she hadn't the strength to listen.
The world seem to crumble along with her as she fell to her knees.
She should've listened to Rufus when he said to stay with Wyatt. She insisted she could take care of herself and now look where she was. Her scared tears to tears of anger and hate.
She was angry at her self. Angry at time travel. She hates Rittenhouse. She once looked at the Hindenburg with adoration but hated it now; it was the ever present reminder that Amy was gone. She hates... She...
Her breathing, and essentially her tears, stopped as she heard movement. Hope began rising but it was quickly replaced with fear.
She jumped up and hid behind the large bookshelf.
Something began to rattle as if the person was in a hurry. Her breathing pattern quickened.
She looked at the room again but analyzing everything as a weapon. Pre-planning an attack on anyone that came in.
~•~•~•~
He finally found the room the hotel keeper spoke of and began trying to pick the lock.
"There isn't a key for it sir," She had said. He had cursed under his breath but thanked the time he spent serving.
He opened the door and slid it open, it was a pocket door; of course she couldn't find it.
He couldn't find her as he opened the door. He stepped in and searched, "Lucy?"
Lucy's heart stopped again. He actually sounded concerned and it surprised her. She thought he was the reason she was stuck here.
His back was turned as she slid from her hiding place. "Flynn?"
He turned and faced her, relief clear in his green eyes. "Lucy," He sighed.
"What-how..."
Flynn gave her a small smile of reassurance. "Come on, they're looking for you."
Lucy looked at him, confused. "Who?"
"Wyatt and Rufus," He explained. "Come on."
"Right," mumbled she.
She walked toward the door, ready to leave when she turned and gripped him in a gentle embrace.
Flynn was taken aback and wasn't really sure how to respond. He out one arm across her back, giving her a halfway hug. "Thank you." She whispered.
Flynn cleared his throat lightly and hummed, acknowledging her thanks.
"Lucy."
It was Wyatt this time.
Flynn and Lucy quickly stepped away from each other. Lucy ran to her friends bringing them into a more comfortable embrace, for her anyway.
"I'm so glad you're not hurt," Wyatt absently tucked her hair behind her ears. "I'm sorry."
"I'm okay," she assured.
"Let's go."
Rufus and Wyatt seemed to completely ignore Flynn who stood behind Lucy.
But she turned before they left, "Thank you," she repeated.
Flynn gave her another small smile and nodded.

Hey, I told you they were drabbles so yes... It's short. ?ᅡᅠ
But I hoped you enjoyed nonetheless! I don't know if any of these will exceed 1,000 words. Probably the more angsty ones.
You might've recognized the plot. It was something someone on tumblr, was like, "You know what I want from an episode? Lucy is kidnapped, trapped etc and you think Wyatt burst in to save her but it's actually Flynn." (Strong paraphrasion -with an extremely made up word. Lol ?)
So yeah. Thanks guys!
