Life Saving: Chapter Three

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later Caroline and CJ came and they took Beverly upstairs to start helping her out.

Hobie sat on the couch and watched television while he waited for them. He told them it didn't have to really dressy. Just a nice skirt or casual dress.

"Hey Hob." His father said walking in the door.

"Hey dad." Hobie said not taking his eyes off the television.

"Where's Beverly?" Mitch asked setting his stuff down by the counter and getting a drink.

"Upstairs with Caroline and CJ. They are helping her get ready for tonight. I'm taking her out."

Mitch nearly spit his water out of his mouth but quickly swallowed it. "What? Hobie you just met her. I know that you wanted her to stay here and I have to say I was not fully into letting her but you seemed so content on letting her, but taking her out…isn't that a little extreme?"

Hobie shut the television off, stood up and turned to Mitch. "Dad I like her. I know I barely know her but I feel like I've known her for years. We're just going to dinner were not getting married!" Hobie said, almost yelling at his father.

"Remember the girl you said that about? She turned out to be a criminal. Then there was the other girl who was married with a kid. Hobie what do you know about Beverly? That she is being chased by three guys, her family died." Mitch exclaimed.

"Dad look were going out to dinner we'll be back by 11pm. I promise."

Mitch knew he wouldn't win even if he tried. "Alright fine, but tomorrow when I get home all three of us will sit down and talk."

"Okay dad." Hobie said, he turned to go back to the couch when CJ came down the stairs.

"Okay she's ready!" CJ said really happy. "I think we did a great job. You'll like it."

Beverly walked down the stairs with Caroline right behind her. She had on a black dress that was about down to her knees. There was a pink strip going from the shoulder down to the bottom. Then a small pink like around the bottom of the dress. Her hair was down and a bit curly.

Hobie was speechless. Finally a word came out of his mouth. "Wow."

Beverly smiled but was nerves, very nerves.

"Doesn't she look great?" Caroline asked.

"Yes she does." Hobie went of and took her hand. "See you later dad. Thank CJ and Caroline."

"Anytime Hobie." CJ said.

Hobie and Beverly walked out the door and left.

"Yeah thanks CJ and Caroline." Mitch said.

"What? He asked for our help." Caroline said.

"Yeah I know. I don't know barely anything about her though." Mitch said.

"She a very nice a polite girl, Mitch. I mean I don't think anyone is like her." CJ said.

"Well that's the part that scares me. She's way too nice." Mitch told them.

"Don't worry. He's a big boy. He'll be fine." CJ said trying to make him feel better.

"Yeah I think they are a great couple anyways." Caroline said.

Mitch shook his head and helped the girls get all their stuff.

"Hobie this is a really nice place." Beverly said after swallowing some of her salad.

"Thanks. Are you sure you don't want anything else but salad?"

"Yes. I'm used to eating light so when I try to eat a lot I can't."

"Oh okay."

Hobie glanced toward the door which was behind him. Three guys walked in, they looked like the same three that were bothering Beverly.

"Beverly, are those the guys that were hurting you at the beach today?" Hobie asked trying not to point or stare.

Beverly nodded. "Yes. I think that we should leave. Please."

Hobie got up and grabbed her hand and walked out after paying for the meal. "Well we can head to the beach."

"I'm sorry Hobie."

"It's fine. I wanted to take you to the beach afterwards." Hobie said. He turned around and saw the guys running out of the restaurant, and toward them.

"Come on!" He yelled, gripping her hand tighter and running through the streets toward the beach. "We can go to headquarters, there's bound to be someone there, if not i have the key." He said as they ran through the traffic on the street.

Beverly looked behind her and saw the guys running after them, getting closer.

Hobie ran down the sidewalk until he reached the road that Baywatch headquarters was on. He made sure he still had a tight grip on Beverly's hand and ran down the street, they guys closely behind.

"In here!" He yelled making Beverly go in the door first. After he got in, he slammed it shut and locked it.

"Beverly got tears in her eyes. She was scared, not only for herself but for Hobie as well. "I'm so sorry Hobie."

Hobie walked over to her and hugged her. "No, no it's okay. It's not your fault."

Beverly pulled back. "It is my fault. They are after me. They want their money because they know my brother died. I don't have the money. If I did I would have given it to them already."

Hobie took her hand and brought her down to the lounge area. They laid down on the couch and fell asleep within no time.
