"Tim LaHaye - Left Behind Kids 02 - Second Chance" - читать интересную книгу автора (LaHaye Tim)

Vicki and Judd sat in silence for almost another two hours while the cab slowly inched its way toward
the international air-port. Suddenly the cabby pulled off the road and sat on the shoulder, shifting into
park. He turned to Judd. "I'm sorry, son, but you can see if I take that exit ramp to O'Hare right there,
we might not get out of there for days. You're still a couple of miles from the parking garage, but I think
this is as close as I can get you."

Vicki could see he was right. Nothing was moving on that ramp. Judd looked at her, and they both
shrugged. Judd paid the driver and thanked him.

Suddenly Vicki found herself alone with a strange boy on a chilly night, on foot in a world that had come
apart at the seams.

It was while walking with Judd that fatigue overcame Vicki. She didn't want to say so, but she wondered
with each step if she could take another. This had been one long, gruel-ing, horrifying day. Now, she
thought, maybe she could finally rest in her own bed. The memories and her loss would still haunt her, but
she believed God would allow her to sleep. She knew she didn't deserve to have him in her life, but she
could do nothing less now than to trust him and believe in him and depend upon him.

Finally, walking in the grass next to the shoulder of the road, which was filled with cars barely moving,
Judd broke his long silence. "Vicki, I've been thinking and pray-ing."

"Me too," she said.
"Really?"

She nodded.

"That's good," he said, "because I don't think we're smart to put off our decision any longer. Who knows
what might happen?"

"So you already became a Christian?" she asked.

He nodded. "I just figured it was really dumb to wait any longer. Not that I'm saying you're dumb, you
know."

"I did the same thing a little while ago, Judd. If what Bruce said is true, then I guess that puts us in the
same family. We're brother and sister now."

Judd nodded again. "I guess we are," he said. "I could use a sister."

"I could use a brother."

"Yeah, didn't you say your big brother was living in Michigan and you thought he was raptured too?"

"I thought you'd never ask."
