Chapter 30
Since you all were good, I'm going to give you another chapter. This was also typed on the same day as chapter 29 was filed.

"Gordo!" Lizzie sobbed into his shoulders, wetting his favourite denim jacket.
"Ssh, Lizzie. It's all right now! I'm here!" Gordo soothed her as he looked into her tear-blurred eyes. Stroking her hair tenderly, he led her into the Mercedes. Miranda got in too, strapping her seatbelt.
"Who did it?" Gordo asked as she finally calmed down.
"Frankie." Lizzie replied in a hoarse whisper as she watched Gordo's eyes turn from warm, soothing to cold and narrowing. Smiling, she wrapped her arms around him as she snuggled against the leather seat.
"First Ronnie, then Frankie. Why must bad guys' names ALWAYS end with 'ie'?" Gordo sighed.
Lizzie and Miranda shrugged in unison as Gordo whipped out his mobile phone to inform the gang that Lizzie was safely with them.

"Thank God you're fine Lizzie!" Kate exclaimed as she hugged Lizzie. "What exactly happened anyway?"
"Well, Gordo was chasing me and the next thing I knew he grabbed me, dragged me and then kidnapped me for a mere hour." Lizzie smiled as she said that.
"And you still think it's amusing. You..." Gordo started.
"I, I what?!"

"Gordo, I'm scared. Hold me!" (A/N: I know this sounds really cheesy) Lizzie whispered.
Outside, a storm... A STORM? IN HAWAII? (Whatever.) was raging fiercely. Lizzie, being the closest to the window, got it worst of all.
Gordo wandered out of his bed just as Lizzie said that. Pulling her close, he whispered, tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear, "Don't worry Lizzie. It's just God's team of angels playing a wild game of bowling."
"Can you stay here? I'm scared that some criminal will kidnap me again. That's enough 'fun and adventure' for a day." Lizzie asked quietly. She felt Gordo nodding, before drifting into a peaceful sleep, dreaming sweetly.
