A New Face in the Race Chapter 2

Unknown Location

Lucky slowly awoke in a large room full of crates, alone. "Mom? Dad?" Lucky asked and continued " where am I'? Lucky looked around again, but in the darkness it was hard to see anything else. Then all of a sudden, the memories flooded back.

He was just going to get the soccer ball from the bushes, when somebody grabbed him and injected him with a syringe. The last thing he felt was being thrown, into a car or some sort of transport vehicle.

Ring, Ring, Ring the phone rang.

"Hello" Luke said with a groan

"Luke?" a frantic voice said.

"Laura, what's wrong?" Luke said sensing his wife's panic.

" It's Lucky"

"What about him?" worry filling Luke.

"He's gone."

"What do you mean gone?"

"I can't find him! It's like he has disappeared."

"Laura, calm down. You getting upset won't help him. Now, tell me what happened and when was the last time you saw him" Luke said trying to calm her down, even though Luke was just as worried and upset.

"He was in the backyard." Laura started.

"Ok, what else."

" I told him dinner was in five minutes and he went in the bushes when I left."

"All right, did you check the bushes, maybe he went into the alley."

"I did and I found this letter, I didn't open it yet."

"Why?" Luke cut in as he jumped up, " Never mind, I'll be home as soon as I can."

Luke put the phone in the receiver, grabbed his coat and car keys, and was out the door.

" The boy's finally awake, sir."

"Thank you for informing of it."

"Dad?" a kid called walking in.

"Can't you see I'm busy?" he yelled at and slapped the child.

"Leave!" He shouted as the child scampered away.

"Sir?" the guard stated sensing the bosses' temper flaring.

"Let's go welcome him," he said calming down and grinning, leaving the room.
