Okay people, here it is.
Casey was still struggling to break free of these two men when someone put a hand on her shoulder. It was small and soft so it couldn't belong to a man. She looked to her left and saw Sally smiling at her.
"Everything is going to be fine Casey. Just relax and we'll all be okay." She said smiling. "Wouldn't want anything to happen to you, right? Or Derek for that matter."
Casey's eyes widen and she forced herself to stop struggling. Sally smiled and she gestured for one of them to remove their hand so that she can speak
"Atta girl, now Casey, you're gonna stay quiet and no lip." Casey nodded her head.
The van pulls up to an old building that Casey could only assume to be a drug house or something like that. Casey walked ahead of the men and behind Sally and the other guy into the building. Sally pulled up a chair and pointed for Casey to sit.
"I'm not a dog." She snapped.
Sally looked at her. She walked over to her and grabbed the back of her hair and pulled her back to hit on the chair.
"I said no lip." Sally says.
She walked over to a table and grabbed rope and began to tie it around Casey. She then pulled Casey's phone out and dialed Derek's number.
"Casey?" Derek asked. "I'm at hockey practice."
"Well, then I suggest that you leave hockey practice." Sally said.
"What do you want Sally, and why are you calling me from Casey's phone?"
"Don't ask questions and follow everything I tell you. Here's what you're gonna do."

Derek sat in his car, looking at the building that held his past and sighed. He knew that he had to go in there. For Casey. Before he got out he reached over to his glove compartment and pulled out something that he hadn't used in years. His switch blade.
He used to carry that with him all the time. Where ever he went, that was always in his pocket. Though he never used it on anyone, he still had it just in case he was stuck in something he couldn't get out of easily.
He parked his car across the street from this building, a very familiar building, and walked slowly across the street, making sure no one would suspect anything. He walked through the gates and through the abandoned parking lot, leading to the entrance of the building. He reached the door, took a deep breath, opened it and walked in, but not before looking around behind him to make sure no one was looking.
A dark hallway with doors on either side that seemed like it went on forever was in front of him. He looked around at all his familiar surroundings. He remembered the last time he was here.
Derek walked in and heard music, moaning and groaning. Two doors on his right had about five or six people shooting up. That was the reason he was there. He wanted meth. He had never tried it but he wanted to, and since his dealer didn't have any, he resorted to someone else. The door on the other side had a girl tied to a bed while someone was having sex with her. He couldn't tell if it was rape or not but shook his head ignoring it. Three doors from the first door, two people were surrounded by beakers and measuring cups. A meth lab. He finally got to the end of the hall where he was greeted with a man with black hair. After talking for about ten minutes, Derek walked out with what he needed and had no idea that this man, who was know as Cal, would be after him later in his life.
This time he heard nothing. All the doors were closed and the only light was coming through a broken window towards the door at the end of the hall. He walked down the hall slowly and as he got closer he heard talking. He reached the door and opened it.
There was that familiar couch that he sat on while he waited to talk to Cal, the box of porn magazines on the table along with a box of videos. All too familiar people were looking at him and he couldn't help but feel a tad uncomfortable. He tried to ignore it and he walked to the end of the room where there is another door with a huge guy in front of it.
"Can I help you?" He asked.
"I'm here to see Sally and Cal." Derek said calmly.
The guy moved aside and let Derek in and he saw Sally and Cal waiting for him. He saw Casey, tied to a chair and gagged.
"I see you can follow directions." Sally said.
"What do you want?" He demanded.
"You." She stated simply. "All of this can be over if you tell Casey, it's over between you two and that you love me."
"Or what?" He challenged.
"She might suffer the same fate as Sam." Sally informed causing Casey to look at her.
"It wouldn't matter. The cops already think I did it to Sam anyways. For assault and battery, I'm probably looking at a couple calendars in the slammer. And I can only assume that you or Cal over there will make it look like I did it."
"I'm doing all this for us." Sally said sighing.
Derek closes his eyes and shook his head. He didn't say anything for a while. He just stood there. And finally, after a few minutes of the wheels in his head turning, he spoke.
"You're right." He said opening his eyes. "I think I finally got it."
She cocked an eye brow at him, surprised.
"Come here." He said to her.
Sally looked at Cal who nodded at her and walked slowly to Derek. He put a hand on her waist and looked at Casey, eyes full of apology. Derek then looked at Sally and closed the distance between them. Casey's eyes went wide as Derek deepened the kiss.
Suddenly, when Sally began to run her hands up Derek's chest, he stopped them. He grabbed them roughly and brought one arm behind her and turned her away from him breaking the kiss. He let go of her hand and wrapped an arm over her shoulders keeping her close to him. He then pulled out the switch blade from his pocket. It popped open and he held it to her neck, causing Cal to move closer.
"Take one more step and she's gone Cal. Trust me I have every intention on doing so, even on you." Derek said in a threatening tone.
Cal backed up a bit. He was in no mood for this right now. Never in a million years did he think that Derek would have the balls to pull this.
"Please. You wouldn't hurt a fly." Sally whispered to him.
"I don't know," he said pressing the blade into her skin more just to scare her, "wanna see baby?"
He roughly pushed her away and she fell to the ground. Cal rushed over to her, once he touched her, the door burst open and an all to familiar cop, with other cops came in. Cal looks down and automatically put his hands behind his head. Cal knew this day would come. The cops have been looking for him for the longest time. Two cops run over to him and cuff him, he put up no fight.
The other cop, the one who put Derek in juvi for a while, walked over to Sally, cuffs her and pulls her up. He began to walk her out when he turned and gave Derek a nod, silently telling him that he will be talking with him again. Derek nodded then looked at Casey and rushed over to her. He removed the gag from her mouth and untied the ropes. He pulled her into a tight hug, silenting thanking god that nothing happened to her. She clung to him and shook with relief while Derek, was doing nothing but holding her tightly to him, and whispering 'I'm sorry' over and over again.

Sally was in the cop car with two cops. One driving and one in the back. She looked over at the cop sitting next to her and saw a pen sitting on the clip board. She looked at the driver and he winked at her causing her to look back out the window. After the cop in front looks back to the road, she looked back at the cop sitting next to her. Stupid cops. Her hands were cuffed in the front, so she grabbed the pen and shoved it into the side of the cops' neck. The driver looked back and Sally grabbed the other cops gun and pulled the trigger.
She looked over at the cop, gagging, and pulled the trigger again.

Casey was up in her room resting in her bed. She wasn't hurt or anything, in fact, no harm was done to her at all. She was just sitting there, thinking about all that has happened. She heard Sally say it, that she was hurting him, she was doing all of it for them. She was absolutely appalled when Derek kissed her, but she knew what he was doing. The way he looked at her, she knew what he was gonna do. She knew that Sally caused all this hurt. Not Derek. And she knew what she was about to do as she got up from her bed and walked over to Derek's room.
When she walked in, after he said 'come in', she saw him at his desk. He was deactivating his recent e-mail account along with his screen name. And to be on the safe side, he removed all of his messengers from his computer. When he was finished, he shut off his computer and saw that Casey was sitting in the middle of his bed, cross legged, looking like she was about to say something important.
He left his desk and walked over to her, while she scooted to the end of the bed, unfolding her legs. He got on his knees, between hers and wrapped his arms loosely around her. Her hands went to his shoulders and she began to rub, he sighed.
"I forgive you." She said when her hand ran through his hair.
He looked up quickly with wide eyes. She nodded biting her lip. He buried his face in her stomach and then looked back at her. He got up and walked over to his door and locked it. He goes over to the bed and took her lips gently. It surprised her because he had never done that before. Sure he had given her gentle kisses before but none were as gentle as this. Her hands went to the hem of his shirt and she took it off and she grabbed the chain and brought him to lie on top of her.
When they were both spent, breathing hard, he rolled over to his side and wrapped an arm around her waist as she moved closer to him. He kissed her temple and they both fall asleep.
He woke up the next morning and saw that Casey wasn't there. His heart sunk. His breathing picked up and then Casey walked back in his room with a book and a cup of coffee, he relaxed. She smiled at him, climbed back into bed after putting her mug and book down. She climbed on his lap and kissed him deeply. She then broke it to see doubt in his eyes, and thinking quickly, she reached behind his neck and unclasped the chain.
He looked down confused as she removed the chain from his neck. She let the ring slide off the chain and fall into her hand. She looked at Derek then put it in his hand. He looked at the ring and then her. She raised her brows as if asking a 'well' while also telling him to put it back on. He smirked grabbing her left hand and slowly put the ring back on.
"I love you, Derek."
He looked at her and leaned in and gave her one of those gentle kisses from the night before. He then rested his forehead against hers.
"I love you too." He whispered, "So much. And I'm not gonna let you go again."
Aww, a Dasey moment. But there is more drama to come!
