Part 4
Fred left the station at 7:00 p.m and wandered aimlessly
through the dirty streets of white chapel. He stopped outside Becky's
home. He strode towards the door and rapped his knuckles against the
wood.
Becky opened the door.
Fred smiled at the sight of her
long flowing red air against her beautiful face.
"May i come
in?" He smiled taking his hat off.
Becky opened the door
wider so Fred could pass. She closed the door and clung to Fred, her
face looked terrified. "I'm scared Fred...".
Fred held
her in his arms. "I know sweetheart. I'm scared too," He
stroked her hair softly and lovingly. "I'm here to take you to a
safe place,"
Becky's face lit up. "You're so kind,"
"I can't help caring about you," Fred smiled. He wanted
to tell her that he loved her...but he couldn't bring himself to do
it...
"I don't have many belongings," Becky said rather
embarrassed.
"Don't worry...I'll buy you new clothes
tomorrow," Fred kissed her lips.
Becky smiled. "I can't
thank you enough,"
"You don't have to thank me...now
lets get going,".
Fred took her hand and led her out of the
small little house and down the road. Fred felt so happy, he had the
woman he loved holding his hand, now he just had to keep her safe...
