| Chapter Seven � �Home Coming� Laura walked through the house picking things up. Supper was almost ready and Luke just called to say him and Lucky were on their way home. �Finally.� she thought, �After two years she was going to find out what made him run.� Like Luke. Laura never believed it was because of the fight him and his father had. There was something really wrong before and she was going to find out what. Laura was in the kitchen checking on dinner when Lucky and Luke walked threw the door. Her heart stopped. She could not believe how tall he had gotten. Lucky almost stood as tall as Luke. He had long stringy dirty blood hair that need washing and cut. His clothes were loose and baggy on him. They looked like he had slept in them in mouths and most probably had. She thought he needed a good long shower and a good hot meal. Before she would start to dig for information from him. She gently shoved him toward the stairs. Grabbing his bags and taking them into the laundry room. As Laura did the laundry, Nik and Lu Lu came in from the park. Lu saw her father and ran up to him. �Daddy. You�re back. Did you find Lucky?� asked the five-year-old. �Yes and he is up stairs cleaning up. He will be down in a little bit. You better clean up.� Luke said putting her back down. Lu went into the kitchen to wash up. Nik asked, �Dose he know about me?� �Yes. I told him everything on the plane. You and the past two years was the only safe thing to talk about. Every time I asked why he left. He got hostile.� Luke said sitting down in the armchair. �Something happened back then. More then any of us know about. I�m going to find out.� �How if he is not talking.� asked Nik. �There was one person who might know but I�ll try with him first.� Luke said. The Spencer�s sat and had a quiet dinner. Lucky did not offer much of anything. He spent most of the time talking to his sister. After dinner Lucky was going out for some air. All Luke was going to do was touch his shoulder and bam. Luke was on his back with Lucky�s foot resting on his neck. �Don�t ever touch me. Next time, I will hurt you.� his eyes were cold as ice and with anther word walked out of the house. (Lucky stop.) Luke sat up rubbing his throat. He was still in shock and tried to figure out what happened. He did know one thing. He was going to get to the bottom of this mess. Luke told Laura that everything was fine and went to talk to Emily Quartermaine. She might be the only person who knows what had made Lucky run all those years ago. She did not tell him then. Hopefully, she will talk now. (About time you start thinking.) Chapter 8 Back to Trouble with Secrets |
