Lucas stared out into the distance, wondering what his next move was. Was it to go find Peyton? Or just give up. The pain was too much for him to hand, he felt like he couldn't breathe. His nights were so long. He stays up and wonders what his family is going through right now. He wished that he had his son and his wife in his hand. He wished that he could do something about it. He promised himself that he would have to find them, even if they weren't alive and give Peyton for what she did. Dan walked in from researching where Peyton could have been. Tree Hill was small; he didn't know where she was. He walked over to his son, not knowing where to begin.
"I can't imagine what you're going through but we have to have hoped that we will see them again." Dan told him softly. Lucas looked at him with his sorry eyes.
"How dad?" Lucas asked, in his movement of weakness. He didn't realize that he called Dan 'dad'. Dan realized it, he didn't want to smile because he would ruin it. Dan thought for a second, wanting to give his son an answer.
"We just have to think." Dan walked away for a moment, really thinking this time. He thought about going to Peyton's house but he knew she wouldn't be there and so did the cops. He didn't want to think that Jamie was dead; he had hoped that he was still alive. "She can't be in Tree Hill. She can't." Dan said to himself. Lucas didn't say a word, he just listening to what he had to say. Dan turned around, he didn't know much about their relationship but Lucas might know a little. "Do you know where Peyton might go?" Dan asked him, Lucas couldn't think right now. He remembered Peyton telling him one night that she's thinking about leaving Tree Hill and she found a house for the both of them but that wouldn't make sense. How would she even get the house? If…Lucas looked up with his eyes wide open. The thought just popped in his head. He quickly ran to his room and brought back his lap top to Dan. Dan didn't know what was going on but he was following Lucas' lead. Lucas pulled up a house that Peyton showed her a long time ago.
"I don't understand, is that where she is?" Dan asked him, A short smile formed across his face.
"Peyton showed me this house a long time ago, she wanted us to move with each other but I turned her down. I liked the house that I was living in, she wasn't so happy." Lucas started clicking trying to figure out who owned the house now.
"I still don't get it." Dan said to him. "Even if she wanted to move in, she couldn't because she's a wanted women." Dan told him.
"What if she didn't buy the house but someone did for her." Lucas told him, Dan started to understand the puzzle but still needed a little more help than that. Lucas clicked on the picture and a photo of Derek showed up with creepiest smile. Derek bought the house for Peyton, that where they are.
Tyler sat at his lap top, thinking about ways where he could catch Peyton. He looked at the photo of Derek and Peyton, he wondered if Derek was helping Peyton out with the kidnappings. It was going to be difficult but he had to figure it out soon. Tyler looked down at the blood written letter that was on his desk. He whipped the sweat of his lips and thought about that little boy. It was so weird for him, he just started to force and he had a large case like this. Tyler looked up and saw his farther coming towards him. He took in a deep breath and was ready for the lecture. Since the case was brought to Tyler, his father was begging him to not do the cast but Tyler wouldn't turn it down.
"It's getting too out of hand, Tyler. You need to turn the case over." His father told him, Tyler stood up from his desk.
"Turn it over to who dad?" Tyler asked him, his father looked around to make sure that everyone heard Tyler hear him call him his father.
"That's Sheriff." His father corrected him. Tyler rolled his eyes. "Turn it over to the FBI, let them handle it. This is not your side of sugar." His father said to him, Tyler wasn't going to back down.
"This case was brought to me, Lucas wants me to do this case. He trusts me." Tyler tried to explain.
"This is insane." His father tried not to yell at him. "This is a kids blood were talking about here." His father was getting angry, he didn't want to put his feet down but they had to get some sense into his head. This is not what they do, this is not what they had studied in. "Son, I am asking you to let it go." His father begged him.
"I can't dad. Lucas is depending on me to find his family." Tyler didn't want to drop the case because this would get him a chance to be something big and even though he didn't want to be, he was emotionally involved with this family. The Sherriff took in a deep breath, he just wanted his son to drop it. There was nothing else to be said but he should give him a chance. Tyler stared at his father.
"I give you until Wednesday." His father warned him. He walked away in anger, Tyler watched as he left. Tyler took in a deep breath and looked at the letters that are in a childs blood. He thought for a second, Peyton has to living somewhere in order to do all of this and how could she run off so easily? Tyler started to type in the computer but then stopped when familiar voice was above him. He looked up and saw her beautiful smile, rosy cheeks and fair eyes.
"Father giving you a rough time?" She asked him, Tyler stood there for a moment with a smile. He knew that his certain situation is going to be tough, he might even get killed but he needed for everyone to be safe. So, as he stared at her. He wanted to give her a last look because he doesn't know if that's going to be the last time that he is going to see her. She was such a beauty, nothing can compare to her. Her name was Sarah, she was just moved to this team. Tyler and Sarah have been getting a long, getting closer by each second. "I just wanted to check how you were doing." Sarah said to him, Tyler noticed that he wasn't saying anything. Tyler cleared his throat and leaned back into his chair, trying not to look embarrassed.
"I'm doing great, besides from the night sleeping and worries about Jamie. How about you?" Tyler said sarcastically, Sarah laughed too hard at his little joke. It just shows him how much she really likes his jokes.
"I'm doing great. I was wondering if I could get on this kidnapping case with you." She begged him, since being a newbie; she couldn't really do anything big by herself. She wanted to do something daring and fun. She hasn't had enough action in a while. Tyler was going to say no but her face wanted him to say yes.
"Sarah, this is more than just a kidnapping case." Tyler warned her about the danger, Sarah pulled up a seat next to him.
"Alright, then tell me the whole story. Of what you know. I promise I wont get scared." Sarah smiled, blankly. Tyler paused for a moment, he was desperate to talk to someone about what he thought about the case. Sarah stood there for a moment.
"So, Lucas and Brooke were together since they were in high school. They were both in love with each other until Peyton wanted what Brooke had..."
"Which was Lucas." Sarah finished for him.
"Right." Tyler smiled at her. "Soon, Peyton became crazy jealous. She started ruining their relationship so that they would break up but that didn't work, it just made them stronger. Soon, Brooke became pregnant and they were engaged. Peyton found out about the engagement and that's how..."
"She lost her mind." Sarah said, amazed about this Peyton character. She has never heard anything like this, she wanted to know more about Peyton. She wanted to know what drove her mad, was it the love that Lucas shared with Brooke? Or was it the kid they made together? Either way, Sarah has this smile on her face.
"Completely." Tyler saying how crazy Peyton was. "After that, Brooke had the baby and it just gotten worse. Peyton was at the hospital when she gave birth. I guess Brooke knew that something was up, so she told Haley to take Jamie and meet them at their house. Next thing you know, Peyton crashed into Brooke and Lucas, making them lose their memory."
"But not Peyton?" Sarah asked him.
"Nope." Tyler started to look back at files, going to back to where it all began; made him think that something wasn't right. Something wasn't right with all of it. He could feel that a part of the story was messing.
"That's odd." Sarah said to herself but Tyler could hear her.
"What's so odd about it?" Tyler quickly asked.
"How come Brooke and Lucas lose their memory but not Peyton?" Sarah asked him, Tyler thought for a moment. Tyler looked at the report of that night, there was something that he missing in all of it.
"It said that they were crossing the bridge, Lucas told me that they were going to talk to Peyton." Tyler told her, Sarah had a few things on her mind. "It's funny because Peyton's house wasn't the direction that they were headed." Tyler looked at Sarah. "Do you think they knew that Peyton was going to be on that road?" Tyler narrowed his eyebrows.
"How do you know that it was Peyton?" Sarah challenged Tyler's thought. "If Peyton was in that car then she would have been injured."
"She was already injured...in the head." Tyler tried to make a joke but Sarah was serious, she was catching on to something. She rolled her eyes.
"If Peyton was in that car, she would have went to a hospital close by." Sarah told her, Tyler started to pull up hospital reports on that day but nothing came up on Peyton but someone else did. "Peyton was never in the car." Sarah smiled a little. The thoughts about Peyton not being in the car and if Brooke and Lucas purposely tried to kill whoever was in that car.
Lucas was trying to figure out if he should leave without Dan, he wanted too so bad but he had to think about his families safety and his. What could would it do if he just walked into the house? They would kill him when they see him. He had to figure out something else that could help him, anything that could help him. He had hoped that Peyton would pay him another visit but she had never showed. It has been a day since he found out that his son might be dead, it's been a weeks since he hasn't felt the sun or happiness, its been months since he had any sleep, its been years since he felt a emptiness inside him where Brooke used to be. He had missed the thought of having a family, he had missed what it could have been and why. He wanted to turn back time and keep him eyes open to dangers of the world.
"What are you doing son?" Dan said to him, Lucas looked up and clintched his cup of whiskey. He didn't mean to call Dan his father a while back, it just slipt out while he was emotional. Dan was still the person who murdered Keith, the one that Lucas held dearly to his heart. That will never change and it will never change the fact that Lucas sees him as murderer.
"I can't stop thinking about Brooke. I can't stop thinking about. They're in trouble. I have to go. I don't want to sit here and think about the worst." Lucas tried to explain, even though he knew that Dan would say no. Dan looked away from Lucas, he understood.
"Okay." Dan said surprised. Lucas looked at him in confusion. "We just have to be safe about it, tonight. We make up a plan." Dan assured him, Lucas felt better after Dan told him that. He had hoped that he will find his family and they will be happy again.
