A new face out of the race Chapter 18

Lucky paced the room whiled waiting for his dad. He figured if his dad kept Helena busy, he could open the door and find Emily. Helena's few guards would probably be guarding her as she and his dad talked. He was guessing the door would be unlocked. If not he would pick the lock, as he did many times before. There would only be one major problem. Zander. He knew little about the guy, so he would have to use his strength and wits to take care of him. Besides he and Zander needed to talk about the bruises on Emily's wrist with him anyway. He was looking forward to it. Lucky turned to the door as it opened. One of Helena's goons walked in. He glared at Lucky, but said nothing and stepped aside. Helena entered a moment later. She looked at Lucky and also stepped aside.

"Here he is. Did we not treat him well?" Helena asked as his dad came into view. Lucky rolled his eyes. Yeah, you treated me well, Lucky thought, after you kidnapped me!

Luke looked over at Helena. "So he is." He turned back to Lucky and stepped closer. "You okay?" He asked, looking Lucky over.

Lucky nodded. "I'm fine. Its Emily I'm worried about."

Luke didn't say anything for a few moments. "I haven't seen her myself, so I can't tell you how she is."

Lucky frowned. "Jason here?" Lucky looked around the room, but didn't see him.

"He's downstairs." Luke said. "With idiot number one and two."

Lucky nodded. He assumed that. "If the guards with Jason downstairs are idiots one and two, what would he be?" Lucky pointed to the guard watching them as he said this.

Luke shrugged. "I figure he must be idiot number three." He answered.

"Any idiot number fours or fives?" Lucky asked, digging for information.

"Not that I know of." Luke said, following Lucky's lead.

"Now Luke." Helena started and walked near them. "I let you see your son and your calling my employees idiots?" Helena commented.

"Are you going to deny it?" Luke questioned Helena.

Helena's face scrunched up in thought. "I guess I can't." She stopped. "But were getting off track here. It's time to talk. You know your son is well." Helena motioned toward Lucky. "Or are we disagreeing about that as well?" She asked.

"I have plenty of arguments concerning Lucky, but now is not the time to tell you them." Luke said.

"I see, maybe another day." Helena commented. "So off to my office?" Helena asked. "We have much to talk about."

Luke nodded. "Lead away." Luke said and whispered something in Lucky's ear before, Helena, Idiot number three, and he left.

Lucky stared at the closed door and smiled. This "hostage situation" would be over very soon.

Author: Hey everyone. Thanks for the reviews, and as for making a new face in the race and a new face out of the race a trilogy, the thought is being processed. So I will tell you what is going to happen by the end of this story. The end of the story can you believe it? I sure can't...but anyway keep reviewing. It's going to be hard to update, just so you know.
