Chapter
6
Luke and Harry continued to fight. Laura stood back and watched, hoping Luke
would win.
"Laura run!" Luke yelled at her.
She shook her head. She wasn't going to leave him. "No, I'm staying
Luke," she yelled back.
Luke didn't have time to argue while he was fighting Harry. this
guy was stronger than he looked.
Laura wasn't sure what to do. The last time she tried to help him in a fight he
was the one that wound up getting hurt, but he didn't seem to be winning.
Luke and Harry got to their feet. Harry picked up a vase and threw it and Luke.
He ducked as it flew past. Laura jumped as it hit the wall next to her.
Luke looked behind him to check if Laura was all right. Harry saw his chance
and grabbed Luke. He shoved him into the closet and locked it behind him.
He turned to Laura. "I think we were interrupted."
She ran into the next room, but he was right behind her. Laura began backing
away from him. She could hear Luke moving around in the closet, but she wasn't
sure what he was doing in there.
Harry backed Laura up until she was standing by the bed. He pushed her
backwards on into it. Laura heard a crash from the other room and knew that
Luke had gotten out of the closet.
He came running into the bedroom and pointed a gun at Harry.
"Don't move," he said.
Laura stared at him with her eyes wide. She knew that Luke didn't usually carry
a gun.
"That my gun, where you find," Harry said in his broken English.
"In the closet you shoved me into," Luke said with a smile.
"Laura, find something to tie this guy up with."
Laura quickly looked around, but didn't see anything. "Finally she ripped
the phone cord out of the wall and tied his hands to the bed.
Luke lowered the gun. He grabbed Laura's hand and pulled her outside. They quickly
made their way home.
"Get Lucky!" he yelled pointing at the neighbors
house. He ran inside and grabbed their bags and threw them into the back of
their small car.
Laura came running out with Lucky. "Where are we going now?" she
asked.
"Spin the globe," he said handing it to her.
Laura took the globe and gave it a spin. She closed her eyes and put her finger
down on it. "Scotland," she said smiling at him.
"Ok, Scotland it is." He gave her a kiss,
started the car and headed for the airport.
