Chapter 6


It was Thursday, and Lanore was in the car driving to the farmstand where she was to meet Joe. She had forced herself not to dress up. We're over, she repeated to herself. This is a solemn and serious meeting.

She pulled into the gravel parking lot and parked her car. She scanned the lot for what looked like Joe's car, and she spotted it. Her stomach sank. She was kind of hoping he wouldn't show. Slowly, she opened the door and stepped out.

Joe saw Lanore pull up. He smiled. "I missed you," he whispered to himself. She stepped out of the car. God she looked beautiful. What could be such bad news?

Joe stepped out from where he had been hiding.
"Hello, Lanore," He said.
"Hi Joseph." Lanore made sure she stressed his full name, making it sound more formal.
"What is it you need to tell me," he asked.
Lanore thought. How am I going to say this?
"Well...I'm not quite sure how to put it"
"Yes"
"I...You...I had a baby"
"That's wonderful. I'm sure Jack's a proud father"
Lanore paused. "You don't get it"
Her words seemed to sink in. Joe's expression changed.
"It's your child," Lanore said, voice so low and thin Joe could hardly make it out.

Before either could say another word, there was a loud sound. A BANG. Gunshots! Joseph and lanore ducked along with the other few people at the farm. The fire didn't cease. Chaos. Glass was breaking, two birds were shot. A bullet nearly hit Lanore.
"Lanore! Are you all right!" Joe called. "I'm coming"
Joe got up to go to Lanore, when one more shot was fired. Silence. Joseph fell to the ground.

Someone screamed. Lanore thought it was herself, but she couldn't tell. Her head was spinning. Joe was covered in blood. Then, from behind a car came a man, pistol in hand. It was Jack.
