Kidnapped

Erin, Dad and Lihua went out to dinner to celebrate.

Dad ordered everything the ladies asked for, with no complaints.

He was in a great mood and drank his beer as he laughed and joked.

"Slow down Li," complained Lihua, "Have you taken your medicine?" she asked.

"Uhhh.. medicine, medicine!" dad whined.

"Miss Lihua is right dad." Erin said, "You shouldn't drink so much with your heart condition."

...

After dinner, Chang Lihua said goodbye to Erin and Mr.Chen. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and waved to Erin as she got in her car.

"I like her." said Erin as she linked arms with dad.

Dad chuckled.

Erin called Xiang Wu to pick them up

while dad made a phone call. He walked away slightly so that Erin wouldn't hear.

As Erin got into the car, dad excused himself "Erin dear, I need to go meet some old friends. I will see you later tonight."

Erin nodded, "Okay dad, do you want us to drop you off?"

"No, no. My friend will pick me up," he insisted.

So Xiang Wu drove Erin home.
