Hidden Scars

Chapter 10 : The Great Escape Plan

As Lily and Valerie were discussing their next steps, they knew that they were playing a dangerous game. Marcus was a powerful man, and he would stop at nothing to get his daughter back.

They decided to wait a few days before contacting the lawyer. They wanted to give Marcus some time to cool down. If he realized that Valerie was missing, he might not be as determined to find her.

As Lily and Valerie discussed their next steps,on the other hand, Mr. Harper was busy putting his own plan into action. He was at his office, his mind racing. He knew that getting Valerie and Lily out of the city would be a dangerous undertaking. Marcus was a powerful man, and he would stop at nothing to get his daughter back.

Mr. Harper picked up the phone and dialed a number he hadn't called in years. On the other end of the line was an old friend, a man named Alex who worked as a truck driver.

"Alex," Mr. Harper said, "I need a favor."

Alex's voice was filled with surprise. "Mr. Harper, it's good to hear from you. What can I do for you?"

"I need you to help me get two young women out of the city," Mr. Harper replied. "They're in danger."

Alex's tone became serious. "I'm listening."

Mr. Harper explained the situation, telling Alex about Valerie's abusive father and her desperate need to escape. Alex listened intently, his face etched with concern.

When Mr. Harper finished, Alex nodded. "I'll do it," he said. "I'll find a way to get them out of the city."

Mr. Harper was relieved. "Thank you, Alex," he said. "You're a lifesaver."

Alex smiled. "It's the least I can do."

Mr. Harper and Alex agreed on a plan. Alex would drive his truck to the city and pick up Valerie and Lily. He would then take them to the outskirts of the city, to the apartment Mr.Harper fixed for them.

With the transportation arranged, Mr. Harper felt a sense of relief. He knew that he was one step closer to saving Valerie and Lily. Now all he had to do was wait for the right moment to put his plan into action.

With everything in place, Mr. Harper waited for the right moment to put his plan into action. He knew that he had to act quickly, before Marcus realized that Valerie was missing.

A few days later,

Lily sat nervously on the edge of her seat as she waited for Mr. Harper's call. She knew that this was a crucial moment. If everything went according to plan, Valerie would finally be free.

When the phone rang, Lily's heart pounded in her chest. She answered the call, her voice trembling slightly.

"Lily, it's Mr. Harper," he said. "I have some good news."

Lily's breath caught in her throat. "What is it?" she asked.

"Everything is ready," Mr. Harper replied. "I've found a safe place for Valerie to stay, and I've arranged for transportation."

Lily's eyes filled with tears. "Thank you," she said. "Thank you so much."

Mr. Harper continued. "I've given the address of the apartment to a friend of mine. He will be waiting for you there."

Lily nodded. "I understand. And the transportation?"

"I've arranged for a truck which will be driven by my old friend Alex to pick you both up at a specific time," Mr. Harper replied. "You'll need to be ready to leave at a moment's notice."

Lily took a deep breath. "I'll be ready," she said.

Mr. Harper paused. "Are you sure you're up for this, Lily? It's a dangerous mission."

Lily didn't hesitate. "Yes, I'm sure," she replied. "I'm not going to let Valerie down."

Mr. Harper smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. Remember, the most important thing is to stay safe."

Lily nodded. "I will."

As Lily hung up the phone, her mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions. She was excited that Mr. Harper had finally made the arrangements, but she was also terrified of the dangers that lay ahead.

She thought about Valerie, trapped in her father's clutches. She imagined her friend's fear, her loneliness, her hopelessness. Lily knew she had to do everything in her power to help Valerie escape.

But she was also scared for herself. If Marcus found out about their plan, he could hurt them both.

Despite her fears, Lily was determined to see this through. She knew that she couldn't let Valerie down. She had to be brave, for Valerie's sake.

Lily couldn't wait to see Valerie. She had so much to tell her. She had been waiting for this moment for days, and now it was finally here.

As she approached Valerie's house, her heart pounded in her chest. She was nervous and excited at the same time. She knew that this was a crucial moment, and she hoped that everything would go according to plan.

When she knocked on the small window of Valerie's room, Valerie opened the window slowly.

Her face lit up with joy when she saw Lily.

"Lily! I can't believe you're here," Valerie exclaimed. "I've been so worried."

Lily smiled slightly and said, I'm so glad to see you're okay. I have some great news."

Valerie's eyes widened. "What is it?"

Lily took a deep breath. "Mr. Harper has arranged everything," she said. "He's found a safe place for you to stay, and he's arranged for transportation."

Tears welled up in Valerie's eyes. "Really?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Lily nodded. "Yes, really. We're going to be okay, Valerie."

They knew that they were facing a dangerous journey, but they were not alone. They had each other's support, and that was all that mattered.

As Lily turned to leave, Valerie took Lily's hand. "Thank you for everything," she said. "For being my friend, for believing in me."

Lily squeezed Valerie's hand. "It's my pleasure," she replied. "I'll always be here for you."

With that, Lily left Valerie's house, her heart filled with hope and courage. She prayed for their safety

Both of them knew inside that their journey had only just begun. But they were ready for whatever challenges lay ahead.

New journey ahead! Will the escape be smooth? Or will there be obstacles?
