New Company

A/N I would just like to thank you all for your reviews. Every time I read them it makes me want to write more. Like I said this is my first fanfic period, so I'm trying. Keep readying and reviewing.

Lucas and Brooke had finally finished the last store and decided just to sit and relax for a few. They walked over to one of the furniture stores and took a seat on one of the sofas up in front. Its hadn't taken them long to clean the upper floor so there was still plenty of time before the mall would be open again.

"Wow. This job sucks." Lucas said with a smile as he looked over at Brooke who was laughing at him.

"Well at least you had me to keep you company."

"True. To bad I can't have you here every night." HE winked at her witch in turn made Brooke blush. She gave him a small smile then attempted to change the subject.

"So… Where do you want to go to school?"

"Well when I was playing ball I wanted to go to Duke, so I guess now I want to go to NCU. They have a great literary program. How about you Ms. Runway?"

"NYU. No doubt in my mind. I've always wanted to go there. Plus it gets me away from here witch is great."

"NYU huh? That's cool. Brooke….Do I make you nervous?"

"No. why would you think that?"

"Its just a vibe I'm getting from you is all."

"Well maybe a little. Ok Yes you make me nervous. It's just….No ones ever talked to me like that before."

"Now I find that hard to believe. Guys are lined up around the block for you. You telling me not one of them have told you you're beautiful?"

"No they haven't. I mean I've been called hot and stuff like that but to them I'm just another piece of meat."

"Well that's just not right. You are beautiful."

"Thanks." She smiled at him and was about to tell him something when they heard another voice come from down the hall. They gave each other confused looks before they both go up to find out who it was. Lucas led the way so that he was between Brooke and who ever was now there.

"Come on man lets just get it and get out of here."

"Just give me a second would ya."

They soon realized there were two voices. Who were they and what did they want.

"It's that it? That's the one she wants? You got to be kidding me."

"Can I help you?" Lucas said catching their attention.

"What the Hell?"

"You're not supposed to be here." One of the guys said slowly walking towards Lucas who was pushing Brooke further behind him.

"No. I believe YOU are the ones who are not supposed to be here. I work here."

"Oh tough guy huh?" The man said almost in Lucas face.

"Look we don't want any trouble. Just take your friend and leave and I won't call the cops."

"I don't think you'll call the cops if we stayed." The man said pulling out a knife and showing it to Lucas. Brooke couldn't hold in the gasp that was itching to come out. The man looked at her and laughed. He made a quick move and grabbed her and held the knife to her neck. Making Brooke let out a small scream. Tears brimming her eyes she looked at Lucas and pleaded for his help with her eyes. "Now I think you'll do as I say or your little girlfriend here gets it." Finally the other guy spoke up.

"Whoa man. I didn't sign on to hurt anyone. Just let her go."

"Shut up Tim."

"Ok. Ok. What do you want me to do? What ever you want just don't hurt her ok?"

"Your boyfriends not as dumb as he looks." He whispered in Brooke's ear. "I want you to get me some rope and then tie up your girlfriend. Then I will do the same to you."

"I don't trust you alone with her."

"Oh don't worry. I won't hurt the pretty lady. Not as long as you do what I tell you."

"Please Lucas just do what he asks." Brooke said tears streaming down her face. It broke Lucas' heart. She's gone through enough. She didn't need this. But he was proud of her for being so strong.

"Ok. Just please don't hurt her."

Lucas went off to find something to tie them up with. He was trying to think of a way to reverse their roles. He was so scared for Brooke that he couldn't think strait.

Mean while the man was still holding Brooke with the knife to her neck. She was terrified. She didn't know how she was going to get out of this. She didn't try to escape because she was two afraid he would hurt her. Then she felt him breath in her hair.

"Mmmmm. You smell good. Maybe I won't have you tied up so soon. I might have a use for you." He said as he let out an evil laugh. Causing Brooke to sob even harder. This was a nightmare. This couldn't be happening. This night went from being one of the best she can remember the worse.

"Oh don't worry doll. It won't hurt. Too much." The guy turned her around and forced his lips onto hers. His hands were just starting to skim the bottom of her shirt when Lucas came back.

"Get your hands off her."

"Why should I do that?"

"If you value your life. Then take your hands off now." The man removed his hands but bent in to whisper in her ear.

"I'll get back to you later." He gave her an evil smile. Then he turned his attention to Lucas. "Now do as you were told." He said before walking back to the store they were getting ready to rob. It was Alexander's jewelry. Lucas started Tie Brookes hands behind her back and whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry Brooke I'm going to get you out of this. I won't let them hurt you." Brooke gave him a weak smile. She wanted to believe him but she was scared out of her mind.

Lucas finished with Brooke and then was tied up himself. His mind was working a thousand miles a minute. He had to find a way out of this. These guys couldn't get away with this. He couldn't let them get to Brooke. He turned his head to the side so he could talk to Brooke. He spoke at a whisper so they wouldn't be heard.

"Brooke you got any ideas on how we can get out of this?"

"I was thinking….the one guy is weak. He'll be easy. But the other guy is tough. But I might be able to use his attraction to me to our advantage."

"Brooke no. It's too dangerous. I won't let you do that."

"Lucas, I have to. If I can make him believe I want him I can get the knife from him. Lucas it's our only chance. Please trust me. I'll be fine."

"If you think you can do it then I'm ok with it. Just please. Be careful. I want you back in one piece. So what's the plan?"

Brooke told Lucas what she was thinking and he added his input here and there. It was a good plan he had to admit. He just hoped shed be ok. He was worried about her. But he knew shed be ok as long as the plan worked.

A/N sorry it was short. But next chapter you find out the plan and what happens to the two men. Plus who is the second guy. We already know one is Time. Oh and just so you know. They don't know Tim or the other guy. They never went to Tree Hill High. Please review.
