Turning the Tables

Lucas and Brooke were watching the two men argue out front of the store. For some reason the guy whose name they didn't know yet was getting very angry with Tim.

"No Dim. This has to go down perfectly. We can't do all this just to get caught in the end. The glass is unbreakable. We need to find a Key of some sort."

"Why don't we just give up on everything? I mean they have seen us and they might talk."

"Shut up Dim. Did you really think I'd let that happen. Now just keep your stupid trap shut and let me think."

"But Chris I think it's a bad idea."

"I didn't pay you to think you idiot. I pay you to help me get the damn ring."

Chris? Now they knew both their names. Lucas couldn't help but think how stupid both these guys were. If you're going to try and rob a store you would think they would have had it all planned out ahead of time. Just then he saw Chris looking their way. More specifically at Brooke.

"You." He pointed at her. "You come with me." He said as he walked over to her and pulled her up to her feet. "You're going to help me find a key of some sort to open that counter." Lucas was about to protest but he saw Brooke cast him a glance and knew she wanted him to keep quiet.

"Don't worry Lucas I'll be fine." She gave him a small smile then turned the best she could to face Chris. "What do you need me to do?"

"Smart girl. We're going into the back room to see if we can find anything. Wait no sorry not we. You. You see if you do it then there will be no finger prints to point back to me. You will be the one who looks guilty. Tim watched him. Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid." He grabbed Brooke arm and pulled her behind him into the store. Soon they were out of sight. Lucas looked up at Tim from where he was sitting. Now was his chance.

"Man why do you let him talk to you like that?"

"Chris isn't so bad. He just wants things to work out. Its all for the best."

"No its not. This is your job too. Shouldn't you have some say in it?"

"I guess. But he knows what he's doing."

"Doesn't look like it to me. Look Tim you can still get out of this. You seem like you are a decent guy. You can turn your self over and tell them about Chris and you can get off with probation or community service. Think about it."

"I don't know. Just stop talking to me. I need to think." Tim said as he placed his head in his hands. Lucas' words were ringing through his head. He didn't want to get in trouble. He knew things were going badly but Chris wouldn't see it. He didn't know what he was going to do.

"Hey uh…Tim. I know you want me to be quiet. But I really need to go to the bathroom. You think you can untie me and let me go? To the bathroom I mean." Time looked at him then nodded his head.

"I'll untie you but I am going with you."

"Fine by me." Tim was untying Lucas' hands and then moved to his feet. Now was his chance. He picked up the rope then tackled Tim. This was east seeing as Lucas was a bit bigger then Tim. He successfully tied Tim up.

Mean while in the back room Brooke was busy looking for anything that could open the counter. Chris had untied her but was keeping a close eye on her.

"So what is it exactly you guys are after?"

"That's none of your business. Just shut up and keep looking."

Brooke looked up and him and smiled. She knew he wanted her and she planned to use it to her advantage. She walked closer to him a spoke in a voice that could make any guy weak in the knees.

"Oh come on. I won't tell. I promise." She wiggled her way between his legs and was leaning very close to his ear. "What are you afraid of?" She could tell it was working because his hand went up to her waist and pulled her closer to him. He whispered back in her ear.

"I'm not afraid. I just don't trust you." She pulled away slightly and looked him in the eyes. She could see the lust burning in his eyes.

"You know I think it's kind of sexy how you take control of everything. It turns me on a little." She said licking her lips. HE pulled her to him and crashed his lips to hers. Brooke wasted no time and quickly grabbed the rope sitting ton the desk he was leaning against. She kissed him back with made her want to vomit. She draped it over her arm careful not to let him notice. She grabbed his hands from around her waist and pushed them behind him. She slowly climbed on his lap and then made her move. Before he could react she had his hands tied. She jumped off his lap and backed away with the other rope in her hands. HE jumped to come after her but tripped over something on the floor. She rushed over and tied his feet. Just then Lucas walked in dragging Tim behind him. He looked at Brooke and gave her a smile.

"Good job Ms. Davis."

"Why thank you Mr. Scott." She said as she playfully gave a small curtsey.

"Now who wants to tell me what it is you guys are after and why?"

"I'm not telling you a thing. Scott." He said mocking the way Brooke had used his name. Lucas looked over at Tim.

"NOW's your chance Tim. Tell me everything and I'll make sure you get off easy. I promise."

"Don't listen to him Dim. He wont do crap for you."

"It was all Dans Idea. Deb said she wanted this ring and Dan didn't want to pay what they were asking. So he hired us to do his dirt work."

"Wait Dan. As in Dan Scott. AS in Lucas' dad?"

"He's the one."

Lucas couldn't believe what he had just heard. HE knew Dan was a bad guy but he didn't think he would sink this low. How was he supposed to turn in his own father? Sure Dan was never there for him but he couldn't change the fact that he was still his father.

"Lucas are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine." He turned around and walked out. Brooke followed him shutting the door behind her. She could hear Chris going off on Tim from behind the door. She walked out and found Lucas sitting on the bench with his head in his hands. She placed a hand on his back to try and offer some comfort.

"Lucas don't worry. It'll be fine. We'll figure this out." He looked up at her and just the sight of her made him smile. She was so sweet. He never thought He would look at Brooke this way. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

"Thanks Brooke. I know it'll be ok." HE got up and walked away. He needed time alone. Brooke sat stunned. She reached up and touched where his lips had grazed her cheek. Her heart was pounding. What was happening to her?

A/N Well here it is. Be honest. If you think I should add anything or if you didn't like something let me know. Thanks guys.
