~ The gun in his jacket was pulled out with force, Luke pointing it at the sound and then clutching his pounding heart as his eyes finally took in the sight.
" Cèngdèng!" he swore in a hush, lowering the gun and slowly coming over to Lola, " You scared the out of me!"
There was a wave of relief over him at seeing that Lola seemed mostly unhurt. However, a thought clicked in Luke's head.
That doesn't mean the kidnapper is gone ...
With caution, he came right up to that oak tree, still quite winded but otherwise happy that maybe, just maybe, this night could be salvaged.
" You're bleeding," he noted when he was close enough, waving his hand to indicate the smatterings of crimson on her soft skin, " I should probably get you to a doc's, or something. Can you walk? Do you know where that ... person, went?"
And for that matter, how the hell did she get away? I could barely keep up with him, and she outran him? How is that even possible!?
He shook the inner monologue, just counting himself fortunate that he had found the girl, not a body. ~
