Author's Note: Yes, I'm back in the game. Well, when I saw the first few episodes of Kyle XY this season, I couldn't help but wonder. What if Kyle had been in the car during the "accident". Hence this story came into existence. The chapters after this should be longer…hopefully.

His mother, who was in the front passenger seat, turned around and gave the sleeping boy a loving glance before turning back to face the tranquil night in front of her. The tranquility of the moment was suddenly shattered by the squeal of tires against the pavement, a shrill scream, and then the sickening crunch of metal against itself.

Meanwhile, clear across the country, in Seattle, Washington, Nicole Trager woke up screaming.
