Lucas watched the building in front of him carefully. Not going to to school for a period of time had it's perks, especially when by doing this he'd stumbled upon the one thing he wanted: a way of helping Hanna Marin, the girl he had been in love with for the better part of his high school years.
when he heard of her mother's arrest after she was accused of killing det. Wilden, his first instinct was to go over and try and comfort her. the only thing that refrained Lucas from doing so was the fact that he knew she had caleb Rivers, standing by her side. Caleb Rivers, the one person who had been his first true friend in high school. Lucas still felt guilty for betraying Caleb's trust at the end of the time they lived together with his parents.
Pulling his car near Caleb's apartment's building, Lucas climbed the stairs quickly. Knocking at the door he waited impatiently, carefully looking aroundso that no one would see him there. Lucas pushed his way inside Caleb's house as soon as Caleb opened the door.
-"Lucas? What's going on? Why are you here? At 3 a.m.? Is everything ok? Are your parents alright? Did something happen?" Despite the late hour Caleb couldn't sleep. He'd spent the night at first stopping Hanna from turning herself in to the police for killing Wilden, only for Mona to end up doing so herself, surprising everyone of their group of people about it. Caleb had been pacing his room ever since he got home, feeling frustrated at not being able to help Ashley Marin, not just for Hanna's sake, but because he genuinely cared about the older woman.
-"Hanna's mom. She's being framed for Wilden's murder. And there's someone who saw what really happened that night at the lake... but he won't come forth and tell the truth". Caleb watched him surprised at what he'd just heard. Naturally he knew everything about Ashley Marin, being framed by 'A', but as a person who to his own shame had previously believed her to be guilty and then recently realising she wasn't it took him quite a few moments to take in what Lucas had just told him.
-"Ok Lucas tell me what you know about this." Lucas looked around the room uncomfortably, preparing himself for what he had to say.
-"Ok so as you probably remember I still owe you some serios money. I've gotten myself a full time job ever since I stopped coming to school at one of the local gas station's. The night that Wilden died, Travis my boss'son was at the lake fixing his car. It was broken. From what I gather there is some seriously bad going on between his family and Wilden... Was. Anyway I tried talking to him into telling the truth about that night but he told me doesn't want to say a word about it. He doesn't want to get more involved into this. Nor does he want to get his family dragged down an murder investigation hole. That's why I'm here. You need to convince him to tell the truth. For Hanna's sake most of all, she really won't make it through if her mom's convincted for something that she didn't do"...
-"I'll talk to him. Thank you for letting me know about this". Lucas nodded his head and with out saying another word left the house knowing that Caleb will definitely find a way to make things right for Hanna.
