Around The Corner (A Denny Hamlin Fanfic)

Chapter 22

“No go this way, it’s faster..” Tony tells Aaron. Aaron had insisted on driving, saying that Tony was in no shape to drive.

“I got this, T.. I’ll get us there as fast as I can!” Aaron tells him with a look.

“I know.. But.. The text message.. She’s scared, and.. I feel so helpless.. I wasn’t there for her. She needed me, and I wasn’t there.”

Aaron looks over at Tony, and say’s “What did it say, that makes you think that she’s upset that you weren’t there? You didn’t know that someone was going to break into your house. You can’t help the uncontrollable Tony.”

Tony rubbed his face with his hands, and said “I know.. But she’s been through a lot. And I wanted this time away from Ohio, to be relaxing for her. Now she’s scared shitless and will run back to Ohio and never come back.”

Pulling up to a stop light, Aaron looks at Tony, his face was white, and he looked like he hadn’t slept in weeks. Trying to comfort him, he say’s “She won’t run away. If anything, she won’t want to be alone for a while. She will need some friends to lean on more. She’ll be okay, and I know that you will be one of the best to help her.”

Giving Aaron, a smile, Tony say’s “Thanks. It means a lot.” looking at the time, for what seemed like the one hundredth time, he was five minuets from home. “This light seems to be taking for ever! Hurry the fuck up! Let’s go! Why is it take so long to change? HURRY UP!!!”

Hearing Aaron start to giggle, Tony gives him a glare.

Once the light turned green, the cars in front of them weren’t going fast enough, Tony rolls down his window and yells “GREEN GREEN GREEN!! GREEN MEANS GOOO!! NOW GO PEOPLE!” Getting a few one finger salutes and a few shut ups, Tony rolls up his window once they started to move. Looking over at Aaron, and seeing the smirk on his face Tony asks’ “What? They weren’t going! I was just trying to tell them that the light was green..”

“So I heard.. All three times..” Aaron says with a giggle.

For what seemed like a hour later, they pull into the drive way. Seeing Kasey and Denny sitting on the curb, they get out and go over to them.

Once Tony got to Kasey and Denny, Tony could see that they both had worried looks.

“What’s the latest? Where’s Lilly? Is she okay?”

“They just went in about ten minuets ago. We haven’t heard anything, from inside..” Kasey tells him.

Giving them a worried look, and nodding his head, he looks around at his property, there was tons of Cop cars, and police men and women standing around. Why were they all just standing around? Lilly was in his house scared out of her mind.

Taking a chance, he walks up to one of the cops that’s just standing there looking at his house to.

“Excuse me sir, can you tell me what’s going on inside? It’s my house, and there is someone important to me in there.” Tony tells the Cop.

The cop turns and looks at Tony and sighs “I can’t tell you anything. And I understand that there is someone Important to you in there, but I can assure you that we are doing our best. Please sir, step back behind the tape. I will come and get you when I know something.” The cop holds up the tape and gives Tony a slight push.

Giving the guy a look, Aaron and Denny come up and grab Tony.

“Come on T.. Let’s go sit over here. We don’t need you to go all ape on a cop.” Aaron tells him.

Walking with Denny and Aaron they pass a few more cops. Just how many cops did it take to get one guy? Tony wonders.

As they were walking past one cop, they hear the radio beep. Stopping in there tracks, to hear what radio is going to say they turn there eyes on the cop.

“We have the suspect, we are going on a search for the girl.”

The cop turned his head, and saw them standing there, giving them a look the three of them started to walk away again, when they heard “We found the girl.. She’s bleeding and is unconscious, we are going to need a bus. She’s lost a lot of blood.”

Aaron and Denny, acted fast to catch Tony as he started to run towards his house.
