First of all, I'm sorry it took so long to update, but things have been crazy around here. I'm glad I can finally update this next chapter. My apologies again for the late update.

Othhillfan : Thanks for the review. I like to give shockers. ^^

massa224424 : Maybe they find him, maybe not... Just have to read. :)

KittySquyres : Thanks, finally the next chapter is up.

Bound Dragon : Haha, Lucas always seems to be the jackass in my stories. ^^

kaila5707 : Gotta love Jamie. Haha. :d


"Any news yet?" Brooke asked as they had arrived at Haley's.

"No." Haley said as she sat on the couch. "God! Why does it always have to be Jamie? I hope Derek doesn't have him."

"The police said they caught him, so I don't think it's Derek." Peyton said thoughtfully.

"But who else could it be? I mean, it's not like he ran away or something. Jamie wouldn't do that." Nathan ran his hand through his hair as he walked to the window. He began pacing back and forth. "Should we tell Lucas?"

The tension in the room was suddenly overloaded. All three girls looked at eachother and Nathan was still looking out of the window.

"We sort of... kind of... need to tell you guys something." Brooke stuttered.

"Save it, we already know." Haley snapped as she raised her hand in the air to stop Brooke from talking.

"Don't be angry with them Hales, it's not like Peyton and Luke were together when her and Brooke got together." Nathan reasoned.

"You're right, it's just hard you know. Luke is my best friend, but you guys are also my best friends. But when Luke was here last night, I saw something in his eyes that I've never seen before. He was so defeated. I really hope he gets over this, because I think I can be okay with your relationship." Haley smiled as she stood up to give Brooke and Peyton a hug. They all nodded and Haley started pacing.

"Come to think of it. Has anyone seen Skills?" Nathan asked. The girls looked at eachother and shook their head.


6 hours earlier

"Uncle Skills! Uncle Skills!" Jamie yelled as he ran into his appartment. Skills groaned. Jamie sighed and jumped on him to wake him up. "Uncle Skills!"

Skills almost jumped out of his skin from the sudden weight that hit his body. "Jeez dawg, what are you doing here? It's like 3 in the morning."

"I need your help." Jamie said.

"I ain't helping nobody at 3 in the morning." Skills closed his eyes again and began to fall asleep.

"I need your help." Jamie said again, this time with puppydog eyes. Skills slowly opened one eye to look at Jamie.

"Oh come on, not that face." He wined. He grabbed his pillow and put it over his own head. "Alright already. I ain't saying no to the little kid. I'm not fully awake, so I can't promise you that I will be able to help."

Jamie grinned as he got up and walked towards the living room. Skills got up to follow Jamie, but he was met by cold water that hit his face. His eyes were wide open and so was his mouth. He looked at Jamie, who had an empty glass in his hands.

"Now your away and you will be able to help." Jamie said with a smile across his face.

"Dawg, you really should watch less television. It ain't good for your mind." Skills laughed as he sat on a chair. "What do ya need my help for?"


"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Peyton whispered as she, Haley, Brooke and Nathan walked through prison.

"I need to see if he's behind bars, Peyton, otherwise I will kill him if I find out he has Jamie." Haley said, walking close to Nathan.

Brooke took Peyton's hand. "I'm scared, what if he's not behind bars. What if it's someone else."

"Shh, it's okay, don't be scared. We will just check to see if it's him and then we will leave." Peyton said, entertwining her fingers with Brooke's.

"Here we are." The guard said as he showed them Derek's cell. Derek was sleeping on the hard bed in his cel.

"Derek!" Nathan yelled, which startled Derek and caused him to fall on the ground. "Where's Jamie?"

"How the hell should I know, I've been in here all the time thanks to you guys." Derek said while rubbing on his head.

"No, it's because of yourself you're in here. Don't blame this on me. You wouldn't be in here if you hadn't been after Peyton or if you hadn't kidnapped Jamie. Now, do you have any people helping you? Because Jamie's missing again and if I found out you're behind this in any sort of way, I will kick your ass so hard, you won't even be able to sit on that bed in this cel." Haley snapped as she pointed to Derek, her finger touching the glass of his celldoor. Derek seemed to be scared as he backed away until he was against the wall. Nathan put his arm around his wife and said that she had to wait outside with Brooke and Peyton. The girls listened to Nathan and walked outside.

"You better be more scared when I find out you have something to do with this, because then something far more worse will happen." Nathan said, looking at Derek without emotion.

"I don't. I swear." Derek said and he seemed to be sincere. Nathan shrugged and walked away while he shook his head.

"Where's Haley?" Nathan asked as he came outside.

"I don't know. The first moment she's right behind us and the next she's gone." Brooke explained.

"Haley!" Nathan yelled. No answer. No sign of Haley anywhere. "What the hell is happening? First Jamie, now Haley."

"I'm pretty sure Derek's not behind this. We just saw him two seconds ago in his cell. There's no way he can be behind this." Peyton said as she looked around the parking lot.

"Okay guys, I'm really scared." Brooke said. Nathan walked to her and put his arm around her.

"We have to stick together so no one will be caught." He suggested. Peyton and Brooke nodded and they walked thought the parking lot.

"What was that?" Brooke asked as she heard something behind some bushes.

"What?" Peyton asked as she looked to the place Brooke was looking.

"I heard something move." Brooke explained. "Nathan, do you mind checking it out?" No answer. Brooke slowly turned around and screamed. "Nathan!"

He was nowhere to be seen. Peyton started to pace. "Maybe... maybe he just went to get some drinks."

"Or maybe he's caught too!" Brooke yelled, hitting the hard reality. Both girls ran to the car and drove to Haley and Nathans home. They locked all the doors once they got inside.


"This can't be happening." Peyton said as she got herself a glass of water. She offered some to Brooke, but Brooke ignored her.

"First Jamie, then Haley, now Nathan. Who will be next?" Brooke asked as she walked to the window, closing the blinds.

"I'll call Fergie and Junk for help. Maybe they know what to do." Peyton said.

"Why don't we call the cops?" Brooke asked as she took out her cellphone and handed it to Peyton.

"Because they already know about Jamie." Peyton said as she took the cellphone and dialed Fergie's number. She sighed and hung up. Then she dialed Junk's number before sighing again and closing the phone. "It both went straight to voicemail. Now, I'm officially scared to death."

"Really? I was already scared to death when Jamie went missing. Again!" Brooke yelled as she let herself fall on the couch and silent tears came down from her eyes.

"Sweetie." Peyton sighed as she sat down next to Brooke. Brooke rested her head on Peyton's lap and Peyton slowly stroke Brooke's hair. "Everything's gonna be fine. We will find them."

"I really hope so Peyt. I really hope so." Brooke closed her eyes and tried to enjoy this moment with Peyton. Peyton gently kissed Brooke's cheeck before closing her eyes and thinking about everything that had happened.
