Captured

Part 3~ Taking action

" Where the heck do you think you're going? It's 1:30 am Sam, what are you doing?" Ah, it was Nancy.
" I'm going to Burger King. I'm really craving a whopper sandwich right now." I said sassily back.
" Oh really, funny thing is that I am too. If you're going, I'm going," Nancy said. She wasn't buying it. " What are you really trying to do, Sam?"
" I'm going to get Charlie," I said defeatedly.
" What? How are you gonna do that? You don't know where he is, Sam!" She said.
" Yes I do, I recognize that flooring and the wall paper. It's our old house. The first one when mom actually lived with us. Here I got a picture." I yanked out the picture and threw it back at her. " See! I told you. It's our old house."
" Ok, I'm coming with you!" Nancy said obviously not taking no as an answer.
" No, Nancy! You can't it's too dangerous! You can't risk losing it," I said pointing to Nancy's stomach. " Dad hasn't even found out that he has a grandchild yet. If he makes it out alive, you need to be here so when I get him home, you can tell him all about the baby!"
" Your right! I can't go but it doesn't mean that someone else shouldn't go with you. Maybe I should call Jess and Thomas? They would gladly go with you. Excepcially if you tell them it's to save dad." Nancy fought back.
" No! I'm not putting my best friends in danger. Nancy, I'm not fighting with you anymore. I'm going by myself and I'm going right now." I said and I then got out of the car and opened her car door. " Go inside and watch the news. Text me if anything else comes on the news. I will text you every hour so you know I'm okay."
" Ok," She gave in. " Please be careful Sammy! I can't lose my little sister. I haven't even been able to tell you the good news dad told you about on the phone yesterday. I want you to be my maid of honor! I understand it's a lot to think about so think about it over your trip. I love you Sammy," she then gave me a kiss on the cheek and started walking away.
" Wait," I said quickly. " Yes, I would love to be your maid of honor," I then got in the car and drove away.
    After 2 hours of driving in the car, I got to a gas station 5 minutes away from the airport. I was starving, seriously desiring coffee, and I needed to think of what I was going to do. How was I going to get this plane ticket that I needed without getting caught? Nobody would be going to Texas right now. They shut down the whole part of Texas that I needed to go to. It would be impossible for me to go over there. The only possible thing I could do is get a ticket to go to Oklahoma. I then could rent a car and drive into Texas. Yeah that was what I was going to do. So, thinking I knew what I was going to do when I got to the airport, I ran into the gas station while my car had gas pumped into it. I grabbed a pre-made sandwich and a pepsi (because pepsi is the best). I then ran to the front desk, checked out as fast as the slow cashier would. I think Lindy was just going slow because she knew I was in a rush. Oh if you didn't catch that, Lindy was the cashier's name. She was not happy that it was 4:07 am and that she was at work. But anyways I then rushed to my car, yanked out the pump and drove away. I sped to the airport, parked and I paid for a 4 day parking ticket. I didn't know how long I was going to take in Texas. I then ran into the airport. I didn't have any bags I needed to check in so I just got my ticket to Oklahoma. My plane left in exactly 4 hours 43 minutes and 32 seconds. I had so much time and there was nobody here because it was 4:32 in the morning. So I decided to do the one thing I would have been doing right now if I wasn't here. And that was to sleep.
    I woke up 3 hours later because all of the sudden it became really loud. It was 7 and I guess that was when the most people were in the airport. I got up and found a Burger King. So I guess I wasn't totally lying to Nancy when I told her I was craving that whopper because I just got one. And can I just say, I don't think a whopper ever tasted better but probably all junk food tastes better when you just woke up and are still half asleep. I waited until it was 9:40 and they called for my plane. I boarded when they said I could and within the next 25 minutes we were in the air. I then continued to the thing I was doing a couple of hours ago. Sleep!
