A New Face in the Race
Chapter 11
Emily dropped the phone as the door opened. She looked up to see a very angry man, her father.
"What the hell were you doing on my cell?" He walked slowly closer to her.
Emily, shrunken with fear tried to get away. "I." She started.
"Never mind." He yelled getting in her face. "I don't want to hear your excuses." He grabbed the phone.
Emily saw the open door and started toward it. She didn't get much of a start.
Luke and Jason were slowly approaching the warehouse.
"You got my back Jason?"
"You know I do. What are you going to do about the daughter?
Luke groaned. " I don't know yet."
"No way am I letting you go." He grabbed Emily by the hair.
"I told you to stay out of my business! You always were good about that before this boy was held here." He snapped, but then a grin appeared on his face. "That's the problem isn't it?" You like this boy." Emily was about to reject his suspicion, but was quickly cut off. "That could be easily fixed." He let go of her and headed toward the door.
"No, don't!" Emily ran toward the door, but it was slammed in her face. Emily slid down the door with tears falling. She had gotten her friend killed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Luke entered the abandoned warehouse. There was no light and he kept running into things. Wooden Boxes and crates probably. He decided to make his presence known.
"Lucky?" He called. Moments later another sound was made.
"Dad?" It called.
"Lucky is that you?" Luke shouted.
"Yeah!" Lucky shouted back.
"Where are you?" Luke asked. He knew screaming was risky and would get Bowen's attention, but he was desperate.
"Right here!" Lucky answered.
"Right where," Luke stopped this was getting them nowhere. "Never mind. Can you walk toward my voice?"
"I think so, just keep yelling." Lucky figured and stood up.
A few minutes later Lucky grabbed his dad's arm, scaring him a bit.
"Dad!" Lucky called when he was close.
Luke swung Lucky into his arms, relieved. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, we have to get out of here." Luke stated.
"I'm not disagreeing." Lucky said.
"I am." A voice said, scaring them. The lights came on as the voice was heard. Making father and son have to get use to the idea of light again.
Emily snuck out of the room after finally getting the door open. She wanted to make sure Lucky was okay and left. She wanted someone to have a chance at happiness. She hated to see him go in all truth, but Emily was just being selfish. The fact that she couldn't be was a great bother to her.
Lucky and Luke blinked, seeing a man in a t-shirt and jeans on the stairs that led up.
"Isn't this sweet? A little family reunion." He snickered.
"Bowen I presume." Luke said as a fact.
"Yes." Bowen put his hand in this pocket and when it came out a gun was in hand. "Any last questions?" he snickered again.
At the sight of the pistol Luke pushed Lucky behind him. Standing between the gun and Lucky.
"Yes one." Luke said smartly. " What's with your idea of kidnapping my son?"
"He is one of your weakest links, am I wrong?" Bowen smirked.
"So. Everyone has a weakness." Luke said, not wanting to admit openly that Bowen was right.
"Not everyone. But on a change of subject, I am sick of this game, aren't you?"
"If that is what you call it, I can agree." Luke said, hating the fact that they actually agreed on something.
"The infamous Luke Spencer agreeing with someone not of family. I have to tell my employer this." He grinned.
"Your employer?" Luke asked.
"Yes, you know her well." He smiled. "You have been a bother to her for too long. So I will do as I was told to." He put his finger on the trigger. "Goodbye, Lucas."
"Bye" Jason said coming from his hiding place and with one shot Bowen was dead.
