Karen stood there, she was so emotionally drained from standing outside that school, where her son was trapped, to waiting inside that hospital to find out if her fiancee was going to be killed or not, and now here that the father of her child might have been to one to shoot him.
"What the hell do you mean Dan Scott." Nathan spoke before anyone. By this time everyone was on their feet.
"I'm just telling you what Keith said, I'll let you know more after the police talk to him." the doctor turned around and walked away.
Everyone stood there, not knowing what to say. This couldn't be happening, it just..it couldn't.
"Mom." Lucas went to his mother, she was crying. "Mom come on sit down please."
"This can't be...its not.." Karen couldn't even talk straight.
Haley turned around to say something to Nathan but he was in the corner on his phone.
"Dad, this is Nathan, as soon as you get this call me,"
Nathan just stood there, looking out the window and took a deep breathe.
"You okay?" Haley asked him from behind.
"Do you think I'm okay? I just found out that my dad just shot my uncle,"
"Nathan, I..I am so sorry, but I'm sure we'll all work through this. We'll figure this out."
Nathan looked at her, Haley looked at him, she could see how much this was bothering him.
"Thank you Haley." he pulled her in and kissed her forehead. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, this is just a lot to digest."
"Tell me about it."
They went and sat back down and Karen was not crying anymore, but was just sitting there, in shock.
" I'm sorry Lucas." Brooke grabbed his hand.
"This is insane. It just can't be true Brooke. I was there, I saw him right before I left, I was in those hallways, and...I didn't see Dan, I didn't see anybody."
Brooke was about to respond when a older male voice interrupted her.
"Is there a Lucas Scott here?" a man who looked to be around in his 40's, you could defiantly tell he was a detective.
"Yeah that's me." Lucas said standing up.
"I'm going to have to talk to you."
"What why?" Karen immediately said.
"Relax ma'am, we have one of our guys talking to Keith Scott, we would like to talk to everyone who could of maybe of seen anything, and since Lucas was the last to see Jimmy Edwards alive, besides Keith and possibly Dan, that is, he will be questioned first. And then," he looked down at his paper work, while everyone was just looking at him, " Oh yes here it is, and we will need to talk to a Haley and Nathan Scott, I believe I was told these were the only people in the school that are in this waiting room, correct?"
"Jimmy's dead?" Lucas asked out loud, not even looking at the man, he was staring down at the ground.
"Oh god, you didn't know, I'm sorry."
"Lucas I'm sorry." Brooke immediately told.
"I'm fine," he mumbled and got up and followed the guy, not even looking at anyone.
"I..I can't believe Jimmy is dead." Haley told Brooke. "Oh god this is so horrible."
Lucas followed the man into a room where he took a seat.
"Lucas can I get you anything, juice, soda, water?" the man asked kindly.
"I'm fine."
"Okay lets start then."
"Fine."
The questions were a bit annoying Lucas thought, they just wanted to know why he went in and what did he see. He answered them all short and abruptly, he just wanted to go home.
"Okay Lucas, only a few more questions and we'll be done, I promise."
"Okay,"
"Why did you leave?"
Lucas looked up, confused at his answer. "What?"
"The school I mean, why did you leave, why did you get to leave and not your uncle?"
"I..I was holding Peyton, and she was bleeding really bad. Keith told me too. Jimmy just let me."
"Mmhmm," the man said.
"What?" Lucas snapped.
"Listen, I know this is a hard time for you but I'm just trying to make sense of this all."
"What you think I had something to do with this?"
"Well kid, you have to think from my point of view. You run into a school with a gun. You get to leave, unharmed with no problem. Then before you know it, two people are shot, one is dead."
"This is bullshit." Lucas told him.
"Do you think I honestly would of left if I knew my uncle would of been shot? Do you honestly think I could ever want that? Keith is like a father to me, I wish none of this could of happened. This is all bullshit,"
"Hey calm down kid, I have to cover all grounds, make sure we can get to the bottom of this. Sorry to upset you, you're done, I have no more questions for you."
Lucas got up angrily and started to walk to the door when he stopped and turned around.
"Did Dan shoot Keith too?"
The officer looked at him and shook his head. "No, Jimmy Edwards shot himself."
Lucas felt such a wave of guilt. His old friend, just killed himself only a few hours ahgo, he was gone and never coming back.
