"Excuse me?" Sonny asked.
"I want your to help me break Laura out of
jail," Luke said.
"You're joking, right?"
"No! My wife is not going to spend another night in jail. Will you help
me?"
"Of course. I like Laura."
"Thanks Pal," Luke said giving him a weak smile.
"Do you have a plan?" Sonny asked.
"No. I was hoping you did."
Sonny shook his head. "Give me a minute," he said walking out on the
porch and pulling out his cell phone.
Lucky came down the stairs carrying. "Dad, I
heard voices."
"Sonny's here," Luke said pointing to the porch.
"Is he going to help us?"
Luke nodded. "Are you all packed?"
"Yes. We're ready to go."
"Good put the bag in the car."
Lucky sat Lulu down on the floor and took the bag out. A few minutes later he
came back in and sat down next to Luke.
Luke patted him on the back. "Ok, I'll drop the two of you off at Bobbie's
on the way. She knows where to meet us."
Lucky rolled his eyes. "Dad, that's fine for Lulu, but why can't I come
with you. This is my mother you're talking about."
"It's too dangerous for you to come. If I let you come, then your mother
really would be guilty of murder, because she would kill me."
Lucky laughed a little. He knew his father was right. "Ok, I'll go to Bobbie's"
Sonny came back in and started to speak to Luke. "Ok, I spoke to..."
He saw Lucky and stopped speaking.
Luke realized why he stopped. "It's ok. He knows what I plan to do. There
are no secrets here."
Sonny looked from Luke to Lucky and nodded. "All right.
I spoke to an... associate of
mine. He has some people on the inside there."
"Inmates?"
"No, they're guards."
Luke nodded his head with an impressed look on his face.
"Anyway, he called them. They are going to help us get her out."
"How?"
"I'll explain on the way. Come on."
Luke and Lucky, carrying Lulu, followed Sonny out to the car and got in.
