Love Chemistry

Running Away

I stared astonished. My mind kept racing.

"How did you know or assume he was my father?" I asked trying to restrain myself from revealing my feelings.

"Laurie I saw your lock screen when your dad called and being Moriarty's son I guess you know I was trained for these things." He replied looking up and straight into my eyes.

"Wow".

" Anyways can I ask you my question?"

"Sure"

"Are you adopted?"

"What? How did you know? It isn't even possible! No one except like 8 people know that!"

"I will take that as a yes and relax it was just a hunch."

"Ray we need to focus we have a bigger problem on our hands. Now that my dad has found out he is sure to tell Mycroft which is basically literally like telling the British government meaning we have approximately 5 minutes to change course and get our butts out of well wherever we are before the army captures us but mainly you!" I pant.

"Laurie you are so cute when you talk really fast."

"Ray focus!"

"Ok! Here's the plan we are nearing the train station."

"Yes indeed I see where you're going with this! There are always cabs by the station. A limo is to noticeable." I crouch down next to his ear and continue "Ray we need to ditch the limo driver."

"You're right. Let's get off at the next traffic light and don't take your cell phone." 

"Sounds good."

As the limo driver brakes to a red light we both slowly open the door and walk out with our pockets filled with cash. We stay in the shadows of the buildings till we see this one empty cab.

"Where'd ya folks like to go?" Asked the cabbie.

Ray and I look at each other.

"To the nearest telephone." I respond.

"Alrighty should be there in about 2 minutes." Responds the cabbie.

"Make it quick sir we are kinda in a rush." Ray adds.

I whisper to Ray, "Darling Ray I want to leave a short quick message for my sister. Don't worry I won't give her any clues. But I've had this feeling that she's been watching us. She must have known you're Moriarty's son, I'm just so very sorry for dragging you into this mess."

"I have faith in you Laurie. Your sister however seems different I guess. If you don't mind I would also like to put a phone call to my brother canceling dinner. He'll know something's up though I'll just lie to cover it up. Man I hate my family." He sighed.

"We can make it through this together honey."

The cab came to an abrupt halt. Ray paid as I called my sister. I was praying that my dad and sister hadn't been in contact with each other.

"Hello?" Came a sleepy voice.

"Allison!" I squealed.

"Laurie, is that you? Where are you?"

"Ali listen to me please. I'm in a bit of a situation. I can't ask Dad or Uncle Mycroft for help please understand. I'm quite upset that you would ever do this to me and Ray. Seriously Ali I thought you knew better than to bait us or more importantly the current love of my life  into your cops and robbers games. I gotta go but please tell Dad that 1) I will NOT be coming home today 2) I won't come home until I know for sure these games are over 3)There will be no harm to Ray's family. I gotta go love you! Bye."

We ran to the nearest train station and then caught the next train which very disappointingly was headed towards Paris.

"Uncle Mycroft is visiting Paris this isn't good!" I exclaim to Ray.

"We can get off at the next station that is still in France but more in the country part of it." Replies Ray.

"Where should we head from there?"

"We could rent a car then drive to my summer cabin in Germany if you want."

"Germany sounds good. But do your father or brother know about this summer cabin?" I question.

"Nope my sister knew but she's been dead for years."

"I'm so sorry for your loss."

"Please don't ever say that again."

"Why Ray? Isn't that what humans say to each other?"

"Yes but that was not the way I was raised. That came off as rude. Just whatever ignore that I ever said anything."

"Its fine. Let's talk about something else."

"Tell me about your family Laurie. You hardly ever talk about them."

"Well I have one sister that you know of she's a year older to me and she's very strict. Alison does not have the word privacy in her dictionary. She needs to know everything!"

"Wow I know how that feels my brother is 10 months older than me and its always like he's the boss. Do you have any brothers?"

"Actually yes though I don't really like talking about him. His name is Rick. He's in prison."

"What for?"

"I don't want to talk about this but let's just say he assisted in the killing of my mother."
