Chapter 17 : Hide.

~Sandra

"Come on his acting was not that bad"

"He was so bad I had to change the channel"

I roll my eyes ,but a little giggle escapes from my mouth. "Okay what about music what's your favourite genre ?"

"Don't really have a favourite genre I just listen to what plays." He says scratching his messy hair.

It has more than three  hours since we've drove out of Mallory Bay and I suggested we stop and just relax for bit and surprisingly he agreed so now we sitting on a picnic table in park at some town.

"So where to from here ?"

He rests his head on his hand ,"Well we have four more major cities to put small town  so it's gonna be a very long drive" 

"You know we could take turns driving I mean I don't have my driver's license yet , but I can drive"

"Yeah I'll remember that next time." He says rubbing his eyes "Come on we've got to go" He says , standing up.

"Already ?"

"Yes already we've spend half an hour here. Come on let's go"

"Okay" I stand up , whining a little , "Jeez"

I straighten my glasses as a unclear figures speed towards us.

"Lucas" I say still looking at the figures.

"What ?"

I don't say anything ,but  stare at the men who were literally behind Lucas. I couldn't say anything.

"Sandra ?"

"B-" The man glares at me scaring my soul out of my body. His black skin covered with tattoos , his face scattered  with scars and rugged beard growing on his chin quite frankly I'm  more scared of the big gun his holding rather than his face.

"What's wrong with-"

"Behind you" My voice coming a little higher than I expected.

Lucas turns and the man instantly swings his gun at his face. Lucas stumbles but regains his balance and again the man hits him with his gun.

"You thought you could hide from me Lucas ?" The man says walking closer to us.

After blinking a bit Lucas's eyes fills with fear as he looks up at the man , "Harper ?"

The man named Harper punches Lucas in the face as soon as he stands up.

"You piece of s**t , you costs me millions" Harper says throwing fist at Lucas and I don't how at at that moment I found myself standing between  Harper and Lucas.

"Please stop , he's already hurt." I say so quietly , I highly doubt Harper heard anything ,but he steps forward in front of me and by common sense but mostly fear , I step back. He grips hard on my forehead and pulls me aside and I end up stumbling and landing on the ground.

Lucas punches Harper on his jaw as he was distracted

"Don't touch her" Lucas threatens as he punches Harper to the ground. A feeling of saftey washes over me when Lucas punches  Harper and the people Harper came with, but the numbers game would catch up with Lucas as two guys hit him from the back.

I mean it's six against one and I know for a fact I'm not gonna stand here and watch him being beat up by five guys and being kicked in the ribs by Harper as he's shouting curse words at him.
