Hope and Fear

Haley is 7 ½ months pregnant and things with her and Nathan aren't to good. They are pretty much together for the baby. Luke and Nathan are fight and neither will tell Haley or Brooke why. Haley has become very withdrawn from everybody except Brooke after the accident with Daunte which happened a month ago. Dan and Karen are together and Deb is in rehab. Brooke and Lucas are together but both are harboring secrets. Karen has a six week old daughter that Dan was in the delivery room with when they did a c section for.

Haley time to get up you said you had to be at school early for tutoring. Nathan said walking into their bedroom because they had another fight and he slept on the couch because he didn't want to upset her more than he already had. Do you want me to give you a ride.

H sarcastically: Yeah Nate we fought last night you slept on the couch but now you want to ride to school together sure. She picked up her phone and called Brooke. Hey can you come pick me up in about thirty minuets because I have to be at school early. No fight last night yeah thanks. Brooke will pick me up now I would like you to leave or tell me about what you and Lucas were fighting about.

N: Nothing you know it is interesting that you will stand by Lucas and not by your own husband. He yells.

H: Right this coming from my husband who swore their would be no secrets and the opps I borrowed money from a loan shark threw some games and nearly got you and our child killed. Lucas isn't my husband and didn't swear he wouldn't keep things from he and yes I am upset with him too.

N: Just out of curiosity how long are you going to throw that Daunte thing in my face?

H: WHAT throw it in your face your actions almost killed out son get the hell out of this room now.

N: Fine can I stay gone he said slamming the door.

Haley started to cry but went to get ready for school while Nate went to shoot hoops at the Rivercourt.

Well if it isn't my loving brother. Why aren't you at home tending to you pregnant wife? Oh wait I forgot you ore like you or should I say or pops Dan get them PG then leave them to fend for themselves. Tell me are you going to kill your brother too?

N: Go to hell Luke. Dan took the fall for me when we thought I killed Daunte and he has been get with Karen and Lily. He didn't kill Keith. Keith was mugged and shot. He had no reason to want Keith dead.
L: What no reason. He thought Keith tried to kill him you mom even said so. That seems like motive to me.

N: When did my mom say that when she was high. Show me proof that he killed Keith then I will believe you.

Ring Luke answers his phone yeah did you get it. It is about time. Nate you want your proof I got it.

Meanwhile Haley gets into Brooke's car. Brooke sees her eyes and can tell she has been crying.

B: Oh Honey what happened?

H: Nothing just another fight I really don't want to talk about it, Then one the way to school she told Brooke everything that happened.

When they get to school they see Dan coming towards them.

B and H: Hey Mr. Scott what are you going here?

D: Giving another Mayor speech to your class. They liked me so much the first time they asked me to come back.

B: Oh well see you first period then.

N: Luke where are we going?

L: To get you your proof.

N: Can't we do this later we are going to be late for school.

L: It will take ten minuets. Here we are. They entered an old AV security room to find Mouth.

N: Mouth what are you doing here?

M: I have been looking through Security tapes for the time Keith was mugged. We found them but they weren't dated so I have been trying to watch them to see in the corner when they were from. You might want to sit down. They sit then he plays the tape and sure enough it shows Dan killing Keith.

N: Oh my god Luke you were right I ……………….

L: Relax he won't get away with it. That is something I know we can both agree on.
L: Mouth thanks I know you have been working around the clock to find this it means a lot to me now we need to get to school.

They get up to leave but Nate continues to watch the screen Luke pulls him away.

L: Come on man this will be here late we have to get to school.
