Love Finds You - Even If You're On the Run

Chapter 3

"Ash, this isn't a prank. This is real. We're being framed or something." Vienna murmured as closed the curtains. Darkness cloaked the us.

I blinked, speechless. On impulse, I pinched my arm and winced in pain. Okay... so this was real... this wasn't a dream... even though I desperately wished it was. "How the hell am I going to make it to Magic Kingdom tomorrow?" I wondered outloud.

Vienna stared blankly at me. "I think there are more important things now then Mickey Mouse... like um what the hell do we do now?"

Creeping across the room, I peaked out the curtainsand winced at the bright lights. "I think we're screwed. But, we didn't do anything. Surely if we tell them this is a huge misunderstanding, they'll believe us."

Vienna tapped the glass and snorted. "Ash, they're packing big time." I glanced down at the long lines of cops filling outside the building. There had to be at least a hundred cops, each armed with two guns each.

The cops hessitataed outside the building. They didn't enter, instead they formed lines outside doors and windows.

"Or not..." I muttered under my breath, my heart pounding at the sight of steal gleaming in the moonlight. My mind raced. "Okay... that phone call... maybe its not a prank. If we can take the elevator down to the lobby, maybe we can find the guy in Starbucks. Maybe he can help."

Vienna gave me a dark look. "And what if he's on their side?"

I shrugged. "Well then we tried. Besides, he sounded cute over the phone."

Vienna rolled her eyes. "How can you think of boys now?!" She demanded, grabbing my's car keys off the table and throwing open the room door. I grinned sheepishly, her panic temporarily forgotten.

                                                                    --x--

"So, he's suppose to be here, right?" Vienna asked quietly.

"Uh yeah... somewhere..." I glanced about the small Starbucks. It would be moments before the police poured into the hotel, and they were standing in an empty Starbucks, looking for a guy who had called offering help that might be a trap.

"Ah, you must be looking for me." The voice spoke from behind me, causing me to whirl. A blonde boy flashed a charming smile.

"Dibs." I muttered stupidly forgetting the situation at hand. The blonde boy was definitely cute. He had honey-blonde hair and striking green eyes. His body looked toned... his muscles chiseled... Vienna pinched her shoulder, snapping me out of my daydreaming.

"Now's not the time, Ash." The girl growled.

The blonde boy looked bemused. "So um... come with me if you want to live?"

"Okay!" I smiled and took a step towards the boy.

"Ash!" Vienna pinched me again. "You don't even know who he is!"

I  frowned, my eyes narrowing. I hadn't thought about the possibility that he could be cute and evil. "Yeah... just who are you?"

The blonde boy's face took on a look of urgency. "My name's Jake, and we don't have a lot of time..."

At that moment, all hell broke loose.
