Chapter 27: The Family
Lorelai and Luke got back to Chris's apartment about twenty minutes later.
"Any luck?" Chris asked.
"No" Lorelai said sharply, as much as she didn't want to be mad at him she couldn't help it.
"We should get some sleep and hope for that the police find her tomorrow" Richard said sensing a possible explosion.
"Lets" Emily said as she got up off the couch.
"Lorelai I really am sorry about this" Chris said.
"Chris not now I'm tired and I don't want to say something I'll regret later" Lorelai said putting her hand to his face.
"So where is everyone going to sleep?" Emily asked.
"Well I figured you and Richard could stay in the guest room while Lorelai and Luke take the couches" Chris said nervously.
"That sounds fine Christopher" Richard said getting up.
"I still don't see why you brought him here" Emily said to Lorelai.
"Do you mean Luke?" Lorelai asked getting mad.
"Yes, why would you bring him here?" Emily asked.
"Mom, he's right here" Lorelai said not believing her mother.
"Let's get to bed Emily" Richard said grabbing her arm as he tried to lead her to the guest room.
"No Richard" Emily said pulling away from him.
"I'm going to take a shower" Sherry whispered to Chris before she left the room.
"Lorelai I have to get something from my truck" Luke said as he left the apartment.
'I shouldn't be here for this' Luke thought as he walked down the stairs.
"Why do you care mom Luke was nice enough to drive me here at least treat him with respect" Lorelai said.
"Because he shouldn't be here this concerns the family and not him" Emily said.
"Luke is family to me he's fed Rory and I, and he's helped out around the house" Lorelai said.
"Still he shouldn't be here" Emily said.
Lorelai's temper was rising now, 'If Rory was never in Boston we wouldn't be having this conversation' she thought.
"Well you know what mom you don't always know best if it wasn't for you Rory wouldn't have been in Boston and Max wouldn't have found her" Lorelai said trying not to scream.
Emily was speechless; she tried to think of something to say but couldn't think of anything.
"You know what never mind I'm going out for a walk with Luke" Lorelai said walking out.
"Emily you couldn't have just let it go" Richard said.
"I'm going to bed" Emily said going into the guest room.
Chris sighed, "I really am sorry" he said.
"I know son, I know" Richard said trying to comfort him.
'I can't believe my mom she's mad I brought Luke, Rory is missing is that all she can focus on?' Lorelai wondered.
Just then Lorelai walked right into Luke.
"So you're done talking to your mom?" Luke asked.
"Yeah I still can't believe her" Lorelai said.
"Well its late everyone is tired, she's probably just worried about Rory" Luke said.
"I wish that was true Luke but she'll still be the same in the morning" Lorelai said sighing.
"Well that's her problem lets just go upstairs get some sleep and focus on finding Rory" Luke said.
Lorelai had tears in her eyes, "Thanks Luke really thank you for everything" she said.
"Don't worry about it lets go upstairs" Luke said as they headed back to the apartment for the night.
In the morning Rory was woken up by Max dumping ice cold water on her naked body. After he did that Max took the tape off Rory's mouth.
"What was that for?" Rory asked shaking.
"Just a little wake-up call" Max said as he started to kiss her.
Rory wanted to scream for help but she knew that it would only get her in deeper trouble and just accepted the kiss.
Just then Rory felt a need inside of her.
"Can I go to the bathroom?" Rory asked nervously when he stopped kissing her.
Max thought it over for a second, "Fine you can go but the door has to be unlocked and you have one minute" he said as he started to untie her.
"Thank you" Rory said weakly as she got up and went to the bathroom.
Rory went to the bathroom and came out just like Max said.
"Good now lay back down" Max instructed.
Rory obeyed and laid there while Max tied her back down.
"That's good Rory, you've been very good today that means that I won't punish you too bad today" Max said.
"Thank you" Rory said not wanting to make Max mad.
"Good, I'm going out be good" Max said as he put tape over her mouth.
Rory just nodded and after Max left tried to get some sleep.
Meanwhile in Chris's apartment Lorelai was just waking up to the smell of coffee.
Lorelai looked up to see that Luke had made some coffee.
"You're a god" Lorelai said and she got up to get a cup.
"Where is everybody?" Lorelai asked.
Everyone is still asleep, it's seven" Luke said looking at a clock.
"Damn you, you knew that coffee would wake me up" Lorelai said.
"I figured you would want to be up early" Luke said.
"Yeah well it's pointless anyway I mean what are the chances that Max is still in Boston" Lorelai said as she started crying.
"I thought about it last night and they haven't found Max's car right?" Luke asked.
"I don't think so" Lorelai said.
"So it's probably in some parking garage in Boston because driving would be too much of a risk" Luke said.
"You're right" Lorelai said getting some hope back.
"Also Rory would go kicking and screaming so he has to be within a 50 block radius so that no one would see them" Luke said.
"Once again you're right so what do you want to do?" Lorelai asked.
"Well I thought that we could look for Max's car and maybe we'll find Max" Luke said.
"Luke you're a genius" Lorelai said hugging him.
"So let's get going" Luke said.
"Shouldn't we wait for everyone to wake up?" Lorelai asked.
"After what happened last night do you really want everybody to come along?" Luke asked.
"Good point let's get going" Lorelai said making a to go cup of coffee. Luke wrote a note saying they were going and they left.
Chris woke up about an hour later expecting to see both Luke and Lorelai on the couches but didn't.
'Where are they?' Chris asked himself before he noticed the note.
Chris read the note, 'Just like Lorelai' he thought as he sat down.
'I should get dressed' Chris thought as he went to get dressed, he did it quietly so he wouldn't wake Sherry.
When Chris came out of the room he found Emily waiting for him.
"Where did they go?" Emily asked, 'I wonder if she's seen the note' Chris wondered.
"They went out to look for Rory" Chris said.
"Why would they do that?" Emily asked.
Chris sighed he couldn't believe Emily could have no idea.
"Because Lorelai can't just wait she has to at least be looking for her" Chris responded.
"Why wouldn't she wait for us, why would she only take that man?" Emily asked.
Chris scratched his head trying to come up with an answer.
"I guess because she's mad at us for convincing Rory to come to Boston, Richard moves too slow, and she doesn't really know Sherry" Chris said.
"Still" Emily said.
"So what do you want for breakfast?" Chris asked trying to change the subject.
"Christopher don't change the subject" Emily said.
"Fine if you want to go then go out and find Lorelai" Chris snapped at her.
"Christopher" Emily started shocked at his behavior.
"I'm going outside for a minute so I don't say something I'll regret" Chris said leaving the apartment.
Emily was shocked, 'I was only thinking of what was good for Rory' she thought before Richard interrupted her thoughts.
"But were you think of what was best for both of them" Richard asked knowing what she was thinking.
"Was I wrong Richard?" Emily asked trying not to cry.
"A little bit, Rory needed Lorelai but on the other hand who knew Max could find them in Boston" Richard said.
"I'm going to apologize to them when they get back" Emily said.
"I'm sure they'll accept the apology" Richard said hugging his wife.
