"THUMP!" another loud noise from the garage. Soon cans started rumbling and the sound of random items being knocked over reached Lorela's ears. She jumped up quickly from the couch and hurried outside to the garage. Rory followed closely behind. Lorelai stepped back from the garage and taking Rory back with her as Chris's body came flying out of from the garage door. Luke bolted out of the garage after Chris. Chris stood up, but not for long, one punch and he was back on the ground again, this time he lay there for a while.
"Luke stop!" Lorelai yelled. "He's not getting up!"
Luke, out of breath, turned and faced Lorelai and Rory. "That jerk attacked me!" Luke screeched.
Lorelai looked at Chris who was still laying on the cold wet ground.
"He damn near cut my arm off with a hack saw!" Luke yelled.
"I'm sorry." Lorelai replied softly. She looked at Luke's arm and saw blood stains on his shirt. "Oh my god." she covered her hand with her mouth.
"I'm tired of this Lorelai. I'll calling the cops right now." Luke stormed into the house and grabbed the phone, he walked back out onto the porch and called the police station. "Hello?... This is Luke Danes. I would like to report an attempted murder. Yes, he's here, he's laying in the yard." a pause on Luke's end of the conversation. "I hit him." Luke hung up the phone and walked over to Lorelia and Rory.
"He looks dead." Rory noted not getting too close.
"We wouldn't be so lucky." Luke mumbled.
"Reminds me of when he used to pass out from drinking all night, or day... whatever."
Suddenly, it seemed pathetic to be afraid of Chris. Luke had already gave him two good lickings, and both times Chris ended up laying on the ground. It seemed comical that Chris was such a bad fighter.
"I cant wait til January 2nd." Luke scoffed.
"What do we do until the police get here?" Rory asked.
"We wait." Luke replied. "Make sure he doesn't try to go anywhere."
"Doesn't look like that'll be happening anytime soon." Lorelai replied looking down at Chris's motionless body.
"You two go on back inside." Luke suggested. "I'll stay out here."
"What if he wakes up?" Rory asked.
"Then I'll knock him back out." Luke replied casually.
Lorelai and Rory walked back inside.
"Christopher is such an idiot." Lorelai randomly stated.
"Mom, I think he was trying to kill Luke." Rory replied.
"I know but... god... such an idiot." Lorelia repeated.
"Speaking of which maybe Luke should go to the hospital and have his arm checked out."
"Yeah, well we'll suggest that after the police take Chris away." Lorelai said sitting down at the kitchen table.
"I don't think I'm afraid of him anymore." Rory said sitting down with her mother. "Luke's really not going to let anything happen to us." She smiled.
"Aw, do I sense some admiration towards Luke?" Lorelai teased.
"And you too." Rory added.
"Thanks." Lorelai smiled.
Before either could continue their conversation a gun shot was heard from outside. Without saying a word both girls jumped up from the table and ran outside. Luke stood over Chris's body looking down at him.
"Luke! What the hell did you do?" Lorelai screamed.
Luke turned around to reveal his bloody stomach. Lorelai gasped as she saw the knife sticking in him. She grabbed Rory and placed her hands over her eyes. "Rory go back inside." Lorelai demanded.
"But mom..."
"Inside!" Lorelai yelled.
Rory obeyed her mother.
"Oh my god." Lorelai finally managed to speak. Luke fell to his knees and bent over in pain from the knife wound. Lorelai walked over and looked at Chris's dead body. She immediately felt sick to her stomach. When bright flashing lights caught her attention she realized the police had found her house. The cops quickly ran over to her and an ambulance pulled into the driveway. Luke was loaded up immediately but when the officer saw Chris's dead body laying on the ground they looked at Lorelai for an answer.
"What happened here?" the officer asked Lorelai.
"Luke, shot him." Lorelai replied half out of reality. "He tried to kill Luke."
"Is Luke the man with the knife wound?" the officer asked.
Lorelai shook her head. The officer grabbed his CB receiver "This is officer Jays reporting from the Gilmore house, we have one hell of a crime here, send a coroner and backup."
