'Lucy Oydis Lupin Open this Damn door!' A voice yelled from behind the front door, followed by banging.
'Hades, why are you middle naming me?' Lucy asked as she opened to reveal a very annoyed red head.
'What was that at lunch? And what are you wearing?' Lydia demanded pushing past Lucy.
'Come on in I'm doing well thanks for asking, brilliant weather we are having.' Lucy said sarcastically 'How did you know my middle name?'
'Seriously is that plaid?' Lydia asked disgusted.
'Plaid, oh no, I didn't put on any clothes on this morning, how did it get on my body? Oh no the clothes are raising up against us.' Lucy said overly dramatically. Lydia let out a sign.
'I expected better.' Lydia said walking in to the kitchen. Lucy followed behind. I wonder what Lydia wants or did she just come over to judge my fashion?
'What do you want Lydia?' Lucy asked standing in the doorway watching Lydia sit at the table with her back to Lucy.
'I want you to change so we can watch McCall get trashed by Jackson.' Lydia said turning to look at Lucy expectantly.
'How do you know he wasn't lying when he said he was good at bowling?' Lucy asked moving to her fridge-freezer. Lydia gave Lucy a look of disbelief. 'I mean he could have been bluffing.'
'You think he was bluffing?' Lydia asked sounding amused. Lucy pulled out Low fat chocolate ice-cream and two spoons.
'No, the guy couldn't lie on a bed.' Lucy dismissed walking over to the table beside Lydia. 'but Puppies can bite.'
'You're still calling him puppy?' Lydia asked sounding annoyed 'After what he did!'
'Oh and Jacks is completely innocent in this.' Lucy said sarcastically as she dug into the ice-cream 'Now are you going to have some ice-cream before it melts?'
'How did you know I like chocolate ice-cream?' Lydia asked taking a spoon.
'How did you know my middle name?' Lucy asked back.
'Touché.' Lydia said.
'Hy'd you ant me to go anyays? It do't fit ith the hol ouble ate.' Lucy asked with a mouthful of ice-cream.
'What?'
'Why do you want me to go anyway? I don't fit in with the whole double date.' Lucy asked again swallowing the ice-cream.
'If he does actually turn out to be ... good. I need you to keep Jackson from getting too annoyed.' Lydia said carefully looking at her spoonful of ice-cream as she choose her words.
'You think I can stop Jackson from getting annoyed at McCall? Lydia I know I'm amazing but that doesn't mean I'm a miracle worker.' Lucy asked.
'True, but it doesn't mean you can't help.' Lydia said.
'You'll think of something you don't need me to distract Jackson while you poison Puppy.' Lucy said amused.
'I'm not going poison him!' Lydia defended herself.
'C'mon what's your plan that you need me for?' Lucy asked curious.
'There is no plan!' Lydia said.
'Oh c'mon, you're not stupid. You know never to mess with people's relationships without a plan.' Lucy said.
'I have no idea what you are talking about.' Lydia denied. Of course she won't tell me but she has no problem using me if it gets what she wants.
'Oh come on the only reason you want to hang out with them is show McCall that Jackson could beat him in anything which I don't understand why you need more proof of that.' Lucy said looking at Lydia like she is trying to read her. What's your game Lydia?
'At least come over to Alison's to help me pick an outfit out for her.' Lydia changed the subject. Nice switch of topic there.
'Naw I'm going to stay at home and watch Harry Potter or Dark Knight or that movie with the cute guy that runs a maze and I'm going to get real ice-cream not this low fat crap.' Lucy said sounding dreamy.
'Uh c'mon, your friend is going to be there.' Lydia complained. Alison invited Raven? Weird I didn't know they were friends.
'Raven huh when did she and Alison get friendly?' Lucy asked.
'During the week something about "new girls got to stick together"- I don't see why Alison wants to be friends with her so bad. Raven keeps looking at her like she expecting Alison to stab her.' Lydia mocked causing Lucy to laugh.
'I get it, Alison may scream now Disney Princess but I get the feeling that could change pretty rapidly. Alison just screams soon to be party girl.' Lucy said 'I mean look at her Dad. He is very strict and army like and apparently my Dad was saying her Mom has major crazy eyes.'
Lydia laughed lightly 'You think everyone has crazy eyes.'
'No just most of your little birds. Which by way I see Alison isn't one yet - That's a new record.' Lucy said causing Lydia to roll her eyes. 'I'm going to put this ice-cream away now.'
'Okay, hey Jackson was saying there is something wrong with your camera.' Lydia said as Lucy got up with the ice-cream.
'Yeah you want to see?' Lucy asked. Lydia nodded, so Lucy put the ice-cream away and headed to her bed room where she left her camera.
'Lydia for some reason it glitched in certain pictures.' Lucy said as walked down the stairs. Lydia held out her hand waiting for Lucy to place the camera in her hands.
'Let me see.' Lydia demanded. Why do you think I was bring the camera down for you not to look!
Lucy handed her the camera and went to sit back in her seat.
'Hey aren't these all of McCall.' Lydia observed. Wait what?
'Let me see.' Lucy demanded moving to look at the pictures.
'McCall is number 34.' Lydia informed. OMG they all are!
'That's So Weird!' Lucy said. 'Wait it's not just McCall! Its Raven too see!' Lucy pulled out her phone and showed her the picture of Raven.
'Well lets test it out see if its just them.' Lydia said as she held up the camera to take a picture of them and then turned it around to show the picture. Nope, no glares.
'No glares but we look really good.' Lucy stated laughing.
'You know I think I've of heard of something like this happening to animal's eye.' Lydia said. Lucy looked at her weirdly. Is she honestly suggesting that they have animal's eyes?
'What? I read!' Lydia defended herself.
'Yeah I don't know how you knew that. I'm surprised that you're suggesting that they have animal eyes.' Lucy said.
'Well I don't know - I was just saying.' Lydia said defending herself again. You don't need to defend yourself.
'You're acting a bit weird are you okay?' Lucy asked.
'I'm Fine! I just don't like being interrogated that's all!' Lydia said angrily. Lucy raised her eyebrows at Lydia. Interrogated!?
'What-' Lucy started before she was cut off by music. 'What is that?'
'It sounds like that song from Aladdin.' Lydia said. "One Jump Ahead"?
'Oh its Dad's phone!' Lucy said jumped up to get her dad phone. 'I've got to answer this.'
'No its fine. I'm going to go anyways.' Lydia said waving. Lucy answered the phone and waved back.
'Hello.' Lucy answered the phone. Lucy heard a bang from the front door as Lydia was leaving.
'I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.' Was the response given. Is Dad quoting "Taken" at me!
'Who is this?' Lucy asked. You quote Taken at me I'll quote a meme.
'Hey Lucy.' Her dad said.
'Hey Dad what's up?' Lucy asked.
'I left my phone behind.' Her dad deadpanned.
'No - I never would have guessed.' Lucy said sarcastic.
'Could you drop it off to me? I need it. I'm expecting an important call.' Dad asked.
'Is it an important business call?' Lucy asked.
'Its an important none of your business call.' Her Dad replied. Lucy sighed.
'Fine I'll drop it off. Do you want me to go now?' Lucy asked.
'Yes as soon as you can.'
'Okay then, I had better hang up.' Lucy said. She put on her black converse, her black leather jacket and her helmet.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXx
'Yo Ted - your daughter 's here to see you.' One of her Dad co-workers in a flashy business suit called out as he led her into the room where her Dad was fiddling with engine of a car.
'Thanks Mick.' Her dad replied poking is head out of the hood.
'Hey Dad - working hard or hardly working?' Lucy asked jokingly. 'I thought you only worked with new cars?' It's a bit banged up.
'Hardly working, I have a shipment coming in so I won't have much to do for another half hour and I need my phone to know when they're about to arrive, so can I?' Her dad asked holding out his hand and Lucy placed the phone in it.
'So will you coming home tonight?' Lucy asked.
'No I won't but I'll home tomorrow. So don't wait up. I'll try calling you in the morning but I don't know how busy I'll be.' He said and Lucy nodded. Of course.
'Okay well - I'll see you tomorrow.' Lucy said and walked to the door.
'Bye.' Her dad called back.
Oh shit I'm running low on petrel. Lucy was driving home when her bike started making weird noices. I have no money on me. I hope I can get home.
No no no don't stop now. Lucy's bike was about stop when Lucy pulled in. 'Shit!'
Lucy pulled out her phone. No signal, Of course. Just my luck. Okay just think what do I do now? Well I passed a petrel station not far from here. But I don't have any money. They might have a phone I could use. But who do I call? Dad is busy so he won't answer. Jackson on a date and Lydia would kill me if I called him away, then him and then me again. I could try Danny but he's got that date with cute Tom. Raven! I'll call Raven. She'll give me a lift.
Okay that's sorted. Now do I really want to leave my bike on the side of the road. No I don't I'll push it into the side of the forest and hopefully it's not so noticeable. Lucy nodded to herself after deciding what to do.
She pulled off her helmet and left it beside where she planned on leaving her bike. Lucy moved to the side of her bike, grabbed the handles and started pushing it in the direction of her helmet. Omg why did I decide to do this? This was a terrible idea! Wait I'm almost there no giving up yet. There we go.
Lucy finally got her bike to beside her helmet and grabbed the keys for the ignition. Okay now I need to keep off the road, so that means staying beside the creepy forest. I also need to avoid puddles. Why are there so many puddles?
Lucy trudged along the side of the forest avoiding the puddles. She heard noises coming from the down the road so moved closer to the forest. Lucy looked into the forest when she noticed something moving in the corner of her eye.
What was that? Is someone there? Lucy stopped moving to look closer 'Hello is there anyone there?'
'I can feel you watching me! Come out!' Lucy shouted.
'You're freaking me out! Stop being weird and show yourself.' Lucy tried.
'Okay you're really starting to annoy me! So come on you little fre- Aaah.' Lucy was cut off by a truck driving by and splashing a puddle at her.
'Omg you bastard!' Lucy yelled after the truck. Lucy started rubbing her arms in an attempt to warm herself up. What was in that puddle? Ice!
Lucy continued to walk down the road until she was at the gas station There she spotted three cars. 'C-a-aa-aa-an soo- somme someone he-lp me?'
'Hey Lucy are you okay?' a man appeared in front of Lucy's face. 'Hey do you remember me I'm Chris Argent.'
Lucy nodded weakly. Lucy was surrounded in heat. She looked at her shoulder to notice that had put his jacket on her.
'What happened?' firmly asked.
'My bike broke down and there was a puddle and a truck. I don't have any money.' Lucy said.
'Which way?' asked. Lucy pointed in the direction she came from.
'Its off the road by the forest.' Lucy told him.
'Men go get her bike.' instructed the two guys beside the silver jeep. Wait seems like their boss. Their jeep is trapping the black car in. Is that Raven's cousin or whatever in the middle. Is this something to do with him getting arrested? What was his name again? Dean right?
Lucy met Dean's eyes and gave him a curious look. He shook his head at her. He doesn't want me to tell Mr. Argent about him right? Why should I trust him over Dad's friends? Dad didn't always have the most trustworthy of friends. doesn't seem like them. Though he has his friends to help him block in this guy- and omg- Dean's side window is smashed in. Is a thug. No more organised then that. He is a mob boss.
'Okay I'll give you a ride home and my men will follow with your bike.' told her. Okay Lucy act natural last thing you want is him knowing you know he is a mob boss.
'Okay.' Lucy said as guided her to the passenger side. Okay Lucy- control yourself. Just think of what Jackson would say. "Hahahahaha I can't believe you think a Mob Boss!" Not helpful .Jackson might have a point. I mean I might have just walked in on him being intimidating someone and he didn't seem mind. It might have just been bad parking.
Lucy climbed into the passenger seat and shortly after gets into the driver's seat. And they head in the direction of Lucy's house.
'How do you know my Dad?' Lucy asked. Very subtle Lucy
'From a long time ago.' answered.
'How Long?'
'I meet him in his old line of work.' said.
'Did you work with him?' Lucy asked causing to laugh.
'No I was on the receiving end.' He replied. Oh
'Why was that guy's window smashed?' Lucy inquired.
'I don't know.' He replied but stiffly. 'Do you know him?'
'No.' Lucy lied badly.
'Are you sure?' he asked.
'Was he on a magazine?' Lucy bluffed. Please let him fall for it. Please let fall for it.
'No. So I was talking to your Dad and we're going to have a meal together soon.' informed. Oh shit.
'Oh.' Lucy replied 'Is Allison settling in well?'
'Yes she loves it here.'
'Good.'
'Her birthday is coming up shortly.'
'Well I better start looking for gifts than.' Lucy stated. Oh thank Hades we're nearly there I can't bear anymore mindless small talk.
'Here we are. Good night Lucy.' said.
'Good night thank you for the lift and getting my bike and for lending me your jacket.' Lucy said getting out of the jeep and leaving his Jacket on the passenger's seat. Lucy waited till he had driven off before going inside. What a creepy man.
