A New Face in the Race
Chapter 8
Abandoned building
Jason and Luke entered the building. It was full of cobwebs and dust was everywhere.
"I wonder how this guy kept this place open, it's a pig sty." Luke stated. Tables were overturned, chairs were broken, and everything in this place was broken.
"A lot of overdue bank loans." Jason answered.
There were pieces of paper everywhere on the floor scattered to a closed door.
"What's behind the door?"
"Probably the office. Let's check it out."
The walked over to the door and tried opening the door.
"It's locked."
"No, really? The only reason it would be locked is if there was something inside that Bowen didn't want to be....." Jason got suspicious.
"Like Lucky?"
"No, he would of picked the lock by now."
"Can't you pick the lock?"
"It's probably rusted." Luke spitted.
"Well, there's one more thing we could do."
"What's that?"
"Go to the Port Charles Bank and try finding out some information."
"Why didn't I think of that?" Luke wondered.
"You haven't slept since Lucky was kidnapped."
"Yeah, that must be it. Well off to the Port Charles Bank."
"Shouldn't you call Laura first?" Jason asked. "Yeah, that'd be a good idea." Luke agreed, taking out his cell phone and started dialing.
Unknown Location
The door opened once again, though this time Lucky wasn't scared. He knew it was only Emily. Since they met they have been hanging out and getting to know each other when her dad was out.
"Hey, I got something for you." Emily called, walking down the stairs.
" The keys?" Lucky asked.
"You and I both know what would happen if I took those."
"Yeah, I know, but I want to go home."
"What a two-story house, a big backyard, a picket fence?" Emily said sitting on a high box.
"Actually just one story."
"Sounds like a dream." She wished for a house like that.
"Yeah, it's better than this dark, damp basement." Lucky stated.
"Wouldn't know."
"How long have you lived here anyway." Lucky asked.
"Since the day I was born that I know of."
"That sucks. This is not a place that is screaming home sweet home." Lucky observed.
"It use to be pleasant." Emily said.
"What happened?" Lucky pressed on.
"My mom died." She told him again.
"Harsh." Lucky never wanted that to happen to his.
"Yeah so this was suppose to be my lunch, but I figured you haven't ate in a while." She held out a sandwich.
Lucky looked at it a second, then grabbed it. Tore it open and began eating it. "Hungry?" Emily observed. "You have no idea. Thanks."
"It was nothing." Emily insisted.
"Reminds me of my mom's cooking."
"Yeah."
"So what are you going to do when you get out of here?"
"Go home, sleep in my bed, and never go out near the bushes." Lucky dreamed.
"Sounds like heaven."
"What about you?" Lucky asked.
"What do you mean?"
"What are you going to do?" Lucky finished his sandwich.
"Stay in this place, and wait till I'm eighteen."
"Why don't you come home with me?" Lucky said, wanting his new friend to have a good life like his.
"Like your father would want me around, besides my dad would have to be proved an unfit parent or sign some papers stating that he is not my legal guardian. Which he would never do. I've done the research." Emily reasoned.
"Sounds like it."
"Yeah, well, you get to go home to a family that loves you, a great house, and a father that actually cares."
"If it's any constellation I'll remember you."
"Thanks. But that's not going to do anything for me." The girl fidgeted with a ring on her finger, until it fell to the floor. Both Lucky and Emily went for it, knocking heads.
Author's note: I figure that if I kept the reviewers waiting, my as well give them two chapters. I don't know when I'll be posting again until I get my biography done, so, be patient please. I'd appreciate it.
