Chapter 14

She sat on the living room couch shaking. Opposite of her Luke and Emily. She still couldn't believe what they had just told her. Lorelai kidnapped? Her mom was kidnapped and she just sat here and couldn't do anything.

Why couldn't she do anything? There had to be something. But the more she thought about it the more she realized that she was totally helpless. She somehow had the feeling to betray her mom. She was out there somewhere, was hurt or in pain and she sat here and did nothing.

She had never felt so useless before. Why her mom? Why not herself? Why someone she loved at all?

Her thoughts were going crazy. She didn't even realize that she slowly began to cry until Luke sat beside her, hugged her and she cried on his shoulder. Emily just sat there.

When suddenly Emilys cell phone rang they all winced. She grabbed her purse, took the phone out and screamed quietly when she saw the number on the display. Luke and Rory looked at her confused and all Emily could say that moment was:

"Lorelais number."

„Pick it up" was all Luke said. With shaking hands Emily pushed the button on her phone.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hey, Mrs. Gilmore." A husky, male voice answered her spiteful.

"What do you want?" Emily asked and had to calm herself to not yell.

"Oh come on. Not so angry. I just wanted to ask how my demands are doing?!"

"I… uhm…", Emily began to stutter and just couldn't find the right words.

"Are there any problems, Mrs. Gilmore?"

"Yes… No… ok it is like this…", she took a deep breath. "We can get only 2.5 million dollar this week. The other 2.5 million dollar we won't get before next week. But… But… You'll get it in any case." Emily finished. They all held their breath while they waited to get an answer. The other end of the line was quiet and Emily thought she could hear mutterings in the background. And the person was back.

"This is not good, Mrs. Gilmore." Emily stopped breathing for a second. In fear she scratched her nails into the armrest of the couch.

"Is your son-in-law there?" the man on the other end asked.

"Yes he is here."

„Give him the phone. I wanna talk to him."

Emily looked over to Luke, put her hand on the phone and whispered "he wants to talk to you." Luke looked over to Rory and then took the phone from Emily. He slowly sat down on the backrest of the couch.

"Hello?" he asked just like Emily did before.

"Ah, Mr. Danes, nice to talk to you. How's the family?" The man on the other side must think his comment was funny because he laughed a little.

„You…" Luke started angry but when he felt Rorys hand on his knee he calmed down a little.

"You don't wanna say anything wrong now, Mr. Danes, do you?"

Luke knew that with every wrong word he would risk Lorelai's life and so he held back any comment.

"No, of course not." He just answered.

"good… thought for a moment and came to the decision that I'll give you a little more time to get the money." Luke held his breath. It couldn't bet hat easy.

„But…" the man talked again.

"But you have to be ready to deliver the first 2.5 million tomorrow. I'll tell you more about it later." Luke didn't know what to think at that moment. What if it was a trap? What if this psychopath has already done anything to Lorelai?

"Wait a moment." Luke called into the phone. „I'll do it. But just under one condition. You have to let me talk to my wife for a moment. Just to make sure she is ok." The person was silent again. Luke didn't really know why he did this but he needed certainty. Just hear her voice for a moment. Hear, that she was really ok. This few seconds of silence felt like hours. It felt like the time stood still and everyone held their breath. Then the person was back again.

"Ok, you got a few seconds." Luke couldn't believe it. It worked. He could talk to Lorelai. His heart started beating really fast. The speaker on the other side was passed and then he heard her. Lorelais voice.

"Luke? Luke are you there?"

"Yes, yes Lorelai, I'm here." When Emily and Rory heard his words they turned around abruptly and looked at him.

"Oh Luke."

„Lorelai, are you ok? Are you hurt? Are the babies ok?" He wanted to ask so many questions but he knew that he had no time for it.

"Yeah, I'm good and I'm not hurt. The babies are kicking so they're good too. But Luke… I'm scared! Please Luke, get me out of here." He could hear her sob. It almost ripped his heart out to hear her like that. He wanted to take her in his arms and soothe her while he would stroke her back and whisper soothing words into her ear. Bur besides soothing words he couldn't do anything now.

"Don't be afraid. I'll get you out there. I promise! I love you!"

„I love you too, Luke." After these words he couldn't hear her sobs anymore.

"Ok, that's enough. We'll talk about the other things tomorrow." And with that he hung up. Luke took the phone from his ear and just looked at it for a few seconds. Rory couldn't take it anymore and started to grill Luke.

"Did you talk with mom? Is she ok? Is she hurt?" She started crying again. Luke hugged her again and stroke her hair.

„Yes, I have talked to her. She is ok and not hurt. The babies are ok too." He could hear Emily sigh of relieve.

"But what did he want from you?" she asked.

Luke looked at Emily, took a deep breath and said:

"I need to deliver the first 2.5 million dollar tomorrow."

And? Did you like it? Did you hate it? What do you think? please tell me!

This little button down there is just screaming "push me, push me" so just do it
