During the drive

"You think he kept the codes the same?" Skills asked as he saw Lucas lean his head back and had it tilted so he was looking out the window and not

"That's the thing…it's not the simple "Guess-the-numbered-combo-on-the-number-pad." It's much different."

"How different?" Skills asked

"When we get there…you'll see it." Lucas stated

Forty minutes later

Nathan and I woke up slowly, groggily and heard a horn honking twice

We looked at each other then softly tongue kissed each other as he pulled out of me and tossed the condoms into the trash then he pulled me up as we grabbed a shower

Lucas and Skills walked to the door as they saw the embedded twenty inch LCD screen into the front door as Lucas tapped it the screen went active

A small part on the left was in a violet color then as it moved over it became regular blue. In the right corner there was two boxes one at the top one at the bottom. There was letters in four columns scrolling up then next to it was a grid of thirty-six icons with weird symbols and the center had nothing in it then next to the grid was an Icon window that was invisible then next to that was a triangle then a few centimeters was a wheel of six Icon windows then there is a button beneath and to the left of it…then beneath that was a small window scrolling text in a different font that was Alien to Lucas and Skills then there was four icon windows and the center of that was a symbol from the grid then underneath the grid was an Icon window as well with the words Enter glyph password

"So what's the code?" Skills asked

Lucas sighed as he was thinking it

"Uhh…"

He tapped part of the screen as a small keyboard was highlighted on there

Lucas typed in "Defiant4" as he was entering it: he saw the associated glyphs light up and heard a sound each time he entered the code then he hit the center icon with nothing on it

The screen changed to red as it displayed in two words

ACCESS DENIED

"Ahh he changed it!!" Lucas yelled

Skills put his hands on Luke's shoulders

"Calm down dawg…try a friend's name."

"It would have to be seven letters." Lucas sighed

"Try your brother first." Skills suggested

Lucas frowned then he entered his bro's name then the center icon

The screen then changed to green

ACCESS GRANTED

Lucas sighed as the door unlocked and they went in

They found us in my room half dressed with four bottles of JW on the floor empty with a camcorder on a tripod set up

"Damn!!" Skills stated as he saw the bottles on the floor

Lucas walked in with the pain from what happened to Peyton still on his face

"You two gotta come with me right now!!" Lucas stated as we looked at him with groggy looks

"It's Peyton!! Derrick came back and raped her! The doctors don't think she'll make it and you both got tested and they need someone with her blood type." Lucas stated as Nathan and I were SO suddenly sporting the guilty looks

Skills recognized the guilty looks as did Lucas

"What?" Skills asked

"Nate and I got drunk…we fucked a couple…Nathan fucked the guy's girlfriend as I fucked the girlfriend's boyfriend…they left thirty minutes ago." I replied

"You should be good to go blood donning wise." Luke replied as we left

When we got there we saw the others as Brooke saw us she stormed up to us with the tears evident as the pain and the hurt was in her voice as she slugged me hard on my face

"Where were you!?" Brooke asked

"I had like zero battery time to talk." I replied while wincing over Brooke's surprisingly powerful left jab

"What about you Nathan?" Haley asked as she walked up to us

"I left my cell at his place…I didn't know if he had an adapter for my cell or something I could charge my battery in" Nathan pointed out

The doc came up to me

"Are you Mike?"

"Yeah." I replied as he grabbed me and I followed him

When we got to a gurney he got me on it as he rolled up my sleeve

"Wait…I'm hoping that my BAL is back to double zero."

"We'll find out for sure." He replied as he drew the blood

Nathan sat down next to me as Lucas was there

He said it in a soft low voice

"You two weren't fucking each others brains out when this happened were you?"

"I don't remember what happened..." I replied

"But the camcorder." Luke whispered

"It would take an hour to decrypt the footage more depending on how long the tape was running for…" I replied

"You encrypt your tapes?" Nathan asked as I nodded

"Yeah" I replied

When the Doc was finished testing my blood

"Your BAL is double zero."

"Take the blood." I started to say but seconds later we heard Brooke scream out "NO!" fearing how pissed and hurt Brooke's going to be I feared the worst as did Nathan

"Is there a back way out of the hospital?" we asked quickly

He told me the way as Nathan and I took it and ran

When we got out we dove through the window of a Cab as we yelled out "DRIVE!!" while landing in the back seat

When we got to my place we ran in as I entered the code then we got in and I so locked the door

I went to my office as I jacked in and I changed the password then I saved it as it rebooted then I sighed

Then when I went to sit down I bolted back up as I was wincing

"You okay?" Nathan asked then he undid my pants and slid them down to see my ass was red as he winced

Then it hit us as we remembered

"They can't decrypt the tape?" Nathan asked again

"No…They'd need an alphanumeric high speed sequencer to decode the film." I replied as Nathan sighed

Our phones both rang

Then we looked to see it was Luke and a message

Brooke and Haley are Livid and dangerously pissed

We groaned

Then Nathan found a condom on the floor as he grabbed it and looked at it

"This is my size…" Nathan stated then he got a flashback of me and him kissing while he was fucking my brains out

"Mikey…" Nathan stated as I looked at him

"I think we did it again." Nathan replied worriedly

Nathan and I both went to my room as I grabbed the camcorder and looked at it then I looked at the camera again and saw it as Nathan saw me practically get white as a sheet

"What?" Nathan asked

"Umm…we're screwed." I asked as I slowly looked up at him to see his puzzled face

"How?" Nathan asked as he walked over then he saw

Encryption mode and the switch was on off. Not on

"What kind of tape is it?" Nathan asked

"It's one of the new ones that records to a DVD disc." I replied as I opened it and saw it was there

"We gotta destroy it!!" Nathan replied

I looked at him

"You said it yourself!! That tape is all Haley needs to play to win the divorce." Nathan replied as I put my hands on his shoulders

"Nathan I wanted you since I saw you!! I'm not trying to fuck up your marriage; no I didn't spike the drinks then or now!! But this would be all Haley needs as well…" I replied

"It's fucked up already!! Haley's pissed at both of us for not answering our cells from the first ring!!" Nathan replied

I sighed as I leaned my head back as he sat on the bed

"Nathan… (He looked at me with Misery in his eyes) They're not going to talk to either of us…Haley or Brooke especially…because we screwed up…we lost control…As far as they're concerned we're the ones who let Peyton die…and if Haley pressures Lucas enough he's going to spill what happened in Charlotte and what happened when the tape ran out." I replied

Nathan groaned

"Yeah…" I sat down as I put my arm around his shoulder

"It wouldn't even help if I were to pay for the Funeral and final arrangements…not to mention Peyton's Bio brother…he's Military…" I replied

Nathan sighed

"Yeah…he had a temper before and he's really going to have one now…" I replied

"Can you handle a Marine?" Nathan asked

"I'll have to be faster than him…Nathan I don't like pulling that side out."

"If you don't he'll put us in the hospital more specifically in the ICU section and there goes basketball for me." Nathan replied

I sighed as I knew it was the only way

"Come on." I replied

I got into the Military database by hacking in and I entered Derrick's name and saw the base he was at and then I saw how soon he could get a flight military or civilian to get to Charlotte then drive up from there

"Four hours is the soonest he can get a flight…it's quicker than driving up here." I replied as he nodded
