69Her choice gone wrong
Chapter 1
It had been almost a year since Logan had proposed. He was home that night just watching tv when a special report interrupted his show. It was about a shooting at one of the campaign rallies, it was then that he saw her for the first time in almost a year. He could see the guy eyeing her up as the next target and before he knew what was happening he was phoning her to get out of the way. He was hoping she would answer, and when she did and just listened to him and didn't question who it was relieved him when all he saw was the bullet headed towards the camera. The next thing he saw was the black tv screen. After everything he asked if she was still there. She said ya, and asked how he knew that she would have been hit? He said he saw the guy from the very back of the room. She thanked him profusely for saving her life.
"Well I was just watching tv when the special report came on and you were there just in the middle of it all. When I saw that guy, I don't even know what was happening but I was calling you and hoping you'd answer. Well I first thought I hope you still have the same number then hoping you would answer." Logan said
"Well thank you again." Rory said
"Your welcome, I didn't necessarily want to watch you possibly die on tv." Logan said
"Ha ha, ya true, so I better get going and see what's going on." Rory said
"Ok, I'll talk to you later, stay safe please." Logan said
"I'll try my best to." Rory said
"Fine, just be safe ok." Logan said
"Yes, ok I will bye." Rory said
"Ok bye." Logan said
Rory then went to see what was happening. She made her way outside where she saw her boss. She asked what was going on and how she could help.
"No you need to get out of here. We have intel and there after you, we don't know why but security is going to take you back to the hotel. You're to pack up and put on the disguise they give you. Then there going to take you somewhere safe. We'll let your mom and grandparents know your ok." Rory's boss said
Ok Rory said, she was just walking around the corner where she was supposed to meet the security. When she heard what they were talking about, she decided to leave on her own to her hotel room. She packed up her room quickly before heading to the next level to see if her friend on the trail was back in her room yet. She knocked and no one answered, she texted her friend to find out where she was. She decided to go to one of the washrooms and phone Logan back to tell him what's going on.
Logan was still worrying about Rory. When the tv came back on there was a new news report about several security impostors and to be very careful, now he was really worried. He was just about to phone her gain when his phone started to ring. He answered it and said hello. He was so relieved when he heard her voice again, but started to worry gain when she told him what was going on.
"Hello?" Logan said
"Hey it's me, everything is so crazy here and I need your help. I don't know what to do." Rory said
"Ok, what's wrong? What's happening?" Logan asked
"So after we got off the phone last time, my boss said to leave and go back to my hotel to pack my things up and that I was the target. That security would take me back and then to somewhere safe. I was just turning the corner to meet the security when I heard them all talking about me and how they wanted to kidnap me and that I was the target. I knew I had to get away fast so I got to my hotel room safe, and quickly packed my suitcase back up and headed to a friend's room from the campaign. She wasn't back yet so I'm currently in a washroom with the door locked and talking to you. I don't know who to trust and I don't know what to do." Rory said
"Yeah, the tv just came back on and they said to watch out for fake and impostor security people. I'm glad your safe and that you got out of there quickly. Now where are you exactly?" Logan asked
"Oh really well that would explain it, I'm in Minneapolis right now at the Spring Hill. Why?" Rory said
"Ok, well I think you're in luck. If I'm correct then Finn should be in town checking in on a couple of his family's hotels. I'm just going to text him to confirm then I will get him to come get you discreetly at the back of the hotel and keep you safe." Logan said
"Finn's here, ok well knowing that I feel a little better, and don't worry, you know he'll keep my safe whatever it takes, remember last time?" Rory said
"I remember and I know he will, ok so just stay with me while I text him and I will let you know." Logan said
"Ok I will." Rory said
"Good." Logan said
Logan started to text Finn when he decided to use his house phone to call him instead
"Finn here, what can I do for you." Finn said
"Finn, its Logan are you still in Minneapolis?" Logan asked
"Hey mate, why sure I am, what's up?" Finn asked
"Ok great, so Rory is in town for the campaign trail but they had a shooting there not long ago and her boss told her that she was the target. The security is breached because of all the impostors and I need you to pick her up and keep her safe please. Finn, I almost watched her die on tv. I can't have anything happen to her, you need to keep her safe." Logan said pleading
"Oh My God, ok tell me where she is and I'll pick her up right away mate, don't worry you know I'll keep her safe and protected, not even a question. Just give me her location and I'll be there in like 10 minutes." Finn said
"Ok, thank you, she's at the Spring Hill. Meet her at the back of the hotel and be discreet so no one thinks of anything suspicious." Logan said
"On my way, and don't worry she'll be safe I got this ok." Finn said
"Ok I'm trusting you, I'll let her know you are on your way." Logan said
"Ok sounds good, I'll text you with updates." Finn said
"Thank man, I really appreciate it." Logan said
"None need mate, it's reporter girl we gotta keep her safe. We all love her and care for her, won't have it any other way." Finn said
"Alright thanks again and update me when you picked her up." Logan said
"Will do, talk soon." Finn said
"Ok talk soon." Logan said
Logan went back to Rory on his cell phone and told her that Finn would be there in 10 minutes to pick her up.
"Ok, I don't know how much of that you heard, but Finn will be at the back in 10 minutes or so, he's going to keep you safe and keep me updated until I can get there." Logan said
"Ok I'll start making my way down there. Thank you again for everything. I know we didn't leaving things on good terms but I really appreciate everything." Rory said
"Hey, I don't care how we left things, as long as your safe and not in danger is the main thing. I don't think I could handle it if something where to happen to you. So please be careful and stay safe while making it down there, ok?" Logan said
"Ok sounds good and thank you again, I don't know how many times I can say it but thank you." Rory said
"You're welcome, now I want you to stay on the phone with me until Finn picks you up, I want to know that your safe and that he picked you up and someone else didn't." Logan said
"Ok, I'm just making my way down, everything is good so far." Rory said
"Ok good, we just need you to get outside and with Finn then I'll worry less." Logan said
"Well that's good, I hope you will. Ok, I'm outside now and oh I think that's Finn pulling up." Rory said
"Ya let me just text him to make sure." Logan said and text Finn to make sure that was really him and not someone else
"Ok, ya its him. He said he would open the door and for you to get in quickly." Logan said
Just as Logan was relaying the information to Rory, Finn was texting her to tell her to get in. He opened the door wide so she could see his face and she quickly jumped in and they quickly sped out of the back of the hotel.
"Ok, I'm with Finn now, let put you on FaceTime so you can see that I'm safe and with him." Rory said
"Ok sounds good." Logan said
Logan answered the FaceTime request and saw that Rory was safely with Finn. Finn said hello and then Logan asked what the game plan was.
"Well I've been staying at one of our more expensive hotels so I was thinking we would just go there and hang out." Finn said
"Ok sounds good, just be very cautious of everyone and everything. Don't worry mate, I've had my guy looked into and examined thoroughly and then had him and his team bug sweep a couple of the suites if we need them and he just texted me before arriving that everything was clean and clear. We should be good, but we'll be careful." Finn said
"Ok good, thanks for that and I'll phone or text my details for when I get in. I'm going to try for the next couple days, but I'll let you know for sure." Logan said
"Sounds good mate. We'll be here." Finn said
"Rory please stay safe and listen to Finn, ok?" Logan asked
"Don't worry I will." Rory said
"Ok thank you and I'll see you as soon as I can get up there." Logan said
"Alright sounds good, we both will text you with updates if anything changes." Rory said
"Ok, sounds like a plan, I'll talk with you guys later, bye." Logan said
"Bye." Rory and Finn said
As Finn pulled into the back of his hotel they started to make there way up to Finn's suite. They entered and Finn told Rory to get comfy and that he got all her favourite brought up for her.
"Aww Finn, you didn't have to. Thank you so much for everything." Rory said
"Your welcome love, I'd do anything to keep you safe. Its funny I was half way to the rally when I heard about the shootings. I knew you were in town and thought I'd be able to catch you and see if you wanted to get a drink or something. Man do I have good timing or what." Finn tried to joke
"You're the best you know that? Really you truly are." Rory said
"Well just because you and Huntz broke up doesn't mean we can't still talk and be friends, I was hoping about that when I was heading down there." Finn said
"Aww, I'm glad, I was hoping I didn't have to lose you guys either." Rory said
"Well why don't you get washed up and I'll get the movies and food ready?" Finn asked
"Sure that sounds great thank again Finn." Rory said
"Hey no problem love, now get going." Finn said
"Ok, I'm going." Rory said walking into the bathroom
Finn got out his phone and started to text Logan about what was going to happen next.
Finn: So what's the next step in operation keep Rory safe?
Logan: I'm still working with dates but I should be there in a couple days and then from there we are going to head back to Hartford and keep a low profile there and get everyone to help out. First we have to find out why Rory was the target in the first place
Finn: Ok that sounds like a plan and definitely we need to figure this out before going on the move
Logan: Yes, I have a couple guys I work with try to look into it and they said they would let me know if they find anything
Finn: Ok good, I'll get my guys to look too
Logan: Alright thanks man
Finn: No problem mate, anything for Rory
Logan: Thanks again man, I'll text you later
Finn: Ok, later mate
As Rory came out of the bathroom dressed in comfier clothes, Finn was just finishing putting the food into bowls.
