So….I've written a chapter a day….pretty good, eh? Tell me what you think!
Kostos had shot the other guy that was with Stephen. After that he had run. Now he was sitting in a cab on the way to the airport. The cops would probably be out looking for him. He was sweating in the backseat of the cab. The cabby kept going on about some change in the salary of the cab drivers. Kostos wasn't paying attention. He only nodded his head every few minutes to act non-suspicious. The man believed it. Kostos didn't say a word the whole ride.
Kostos hadn't known why he had gone so low as to kidnap Lena. One minute he was looking at a picture of her, and then the next he was sitting with her in that old abandoned house. He hadn't wanted to do it. He was driven by love. He wasn't thinking. And now he could possibly go to jail for shooting that guy. Now Kostos tried to remain calm as he boarded the airplane. He needed to get to London. He knew that Stephen would probably look for him there, but hopefully he would have his stuff packed and out of there before Stephen arrived. He took his seat next to the window. A few minutes later a man came to sit down beside him. He didn't acknowledge the man until he had spoken to Kostos. Kostos would have recognized that voice anywhere. It was the voice of the guy with whom he had shared an apartment with for the past year. Kostos turned around to face Stephen. "Damn." Stephen grabbed Kostos' shoulder. "That's right. Now get up. There are about five cops waiting outside for you." Kostos didn't like this. "I didn't mean to do what I did Stephen! You have to believe me!" He whispered. Stephen stood up and allowed two men in uniforms to grab Kostos and drag him out into the aisle way. Stephen smacked Kostos on the back. "Buddy old pal…I guess this all worked out in the end. You and your sick mind get to be thrown into jail. I bet you never saw that coming. But hey…I'll see you later."
The officers led Kostos outside and into their car. Stephen stayed behind and sat down. He needed to get back to the states. He didn't know how long the others would be staying. But he needed to get back. He had told Paul and Lena that he would be leaving, but he hadn't told them he knew where he could find Kostos. He knew Kostos would be on the first flight out of Greece and into London. He knew Kostos too well.
Tibby and Brian hadn't seen each other since the night they found out about Lena's kidnapping. Now they were sitting in a restaurant eating dinner with Jack and Carmen. Tibby had excused herself to go to the restroom, and Carmen had followed. When they got into the bathroom, Carmen pulled Tibby aside. "Are you ok Tibby? You seem a bit off?" Tibby shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know Carmen! I love Brian….don't I?" It was Carmen's turn to shrug her shoulders. "Do you?" Tibby jumped up onto the counter and pulled her legs in. "Something is just off. We don't know how this relationship thing works…he's awesome…I mean…you know Brian. You've seen him around me! It's just that now, now I have to claim his as my boyfriend." Carmen hugged her friend. "It'll be fine Tibbster. You to will work things out…..wait…." All of a sudden it dawned on Carmen. "Why didn't I see this before? Tibby, you still like Stephen…" Tibby didn't say anything. She sat quietly. "No I don't…what are you talking about Carmi?" Carmen grabbed her friend by the shoulders. "Tibby be truthful. Do you still have feelings for Stephen?" Tibby jumped off the counter. "It's not like they ever had a chance to grow. But yes…I kind of still like Stephen. But not as much as I like Brian. It's just that liking Stephen was easier, because we don't have a past together. Brian and I do…and that's what makes it hard. Carmen reached out and hugged her friend again. "We will discuss this later…right now is not a good time. The guys are probably wondering where we are." Carmen grabbed Tibby's hand and started pulling her towards the door. Tibby stayed put. "Umm Carmen? Some of us actually came here to use the bathroom!" Carmen let go and started to laugh. "So you really had to use the restroom?" Tibby laughed at Carmen. "Yeah…I don't always need to talk to you when I excuse myself from the table! My world doesn't revolve around you! Now go!" Carmen hugged Tibby one more time, and then she walked back out to join Jack and Brian at the table.
