Chapter 4

Lucky and Elizabeth hurried up to Kelly;s diner. Lucky had to struggle against the wind to get the door open.

They made it inside and Liz looked around. They were the only customers there. Bobbie came out of the kitchen.

"Where is everyone?" Elizabeth asked.

"No one in their right minds would be out tonight. Oh sorry, no offense. There are tornado warnings out."

"Oh, we didn't know. Should we head home?" Lucky asked.

"No, I think we'd be safer here," said Liz.

Lucky looked at Bobbie. "Do you mind if we wait out the storm with you?"

"No of course not. Would you like some coffee?"

"Sure," said Elizabeth.

Bobbie started to go get the coffee.

"No, I'll get it," Elizabeth said. "You sit down."

"Thanks," Bobbie said sitting down. "Can you bring the portable radio back with you? It's under the counter."

A few minutes later, the three of them sat together at a table drinking coffee and listening to the weather reports.

Meanwhile across town, the storm was starting to spook Lesley. The lightening was getting worse as it streaked across the sky. The wind was getting stronger and had begun to rattle the windows.

She decided she wasn't going to wait any longer. She grabbed the radio and flashlight and hurried down to the basement with Lulu.
