On to the chapter…

CHAPTER 37

"Okay the clothes belongs to Rachel…so what?" Peyton told Chris, she really didn't see the significance.

"So what?" he repeated incredulously. "Haven't you been listening?"

"Honestly?" she said hesitantly before shaking her head slowly 'no'. She would have listened but her mind started drifting on how sexy she thought Chris was being all determined and whatnot.

I was admiring the mans sexiness, so sue me, she thought before actually trying to listen to what he was saying.

Chris groaned. "Ugh…okay fine let me say this again. Rachel is a mega bitch when she needs to be. She will do anything to get what she wants, and she's greedy. I know her, she wouldn't be helping Felix for nothing."

"How exactly do you know her?" Peyton asked.

He sighed. "She used to go to Tree Hill, I met her when she transferred in sophomore year…we dated for awhile until she met Nathan…then after he broke up with her she moved, I don't know where, she just up and left."

How many girls has Nathan been with? Peyton wondered curiously and completely off topic, but then stopped when she realized that Chris started talking again.

"If Felix got a hold of her clothes that means that she's here, she hated Tree Hill, she wouldn't come back unless she had a reason, and I'm afraid of what that reason would be," he explained.

Peyton looked at his worried expression and smiled. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's find this bitch!"

Chris laughed at her enthusiasm before answering, "Let's do it then."

---------------

Anna sat on her bed staring at the ceiling.

She was in deep thought about her brother.

She knew he was up to something and she was worried that it was gonna end badly. As much as Felix annoyed her, she didn't want to see him get hurt.

She was rooting for him and Peyton but when she found out about her and Chris she accepted it and she thought Felix would too since he said he loved her so much.

If he really did, he would have been able to let her go.

He could have stayed friends with her, but now he's gonna ruin that too with whatever he's doing, she thought as she shook her head at how stupid he was.

She heard her brother's door close and she raised her eyebrow.

I thought he left…she thought confusedly. Whatever I need to talk to him anyway.

With that she stood up with every intention of heading to Felix's room.

---------------

"What the hell happened to the lights?!" Taylor yelled as Jenny began to cry.

"I don't know!" Lucas said back as he ran over to look out the kitchen window. "Nobody else lost their power, it's only us."

"So what does that mean?" Taylor asked as she rubbed Jenny's back soothingly.

Then out of nowhere Jenny started yelling, "Mommy! Where are yu? Mama!"

Taylor looked down at the little girl and saw that her face was red, her eyes were puffy, and that she was getting scared because she couldn't find Haley.

"Hey," Lucas said, remembering something. "You think Brooke screamed because the lights went out?"

"Probably," Taylor answered, unsure if that was true or not.

"I'm gonna look for a flash light, then I'll go check on them," he said as he felt his way through the kitchen drawers.

---------------

"Okay I spy with my little eye something that starts with the letter N," Jake said confident that his friend wouldn't get this one.

Nathan just rolled his eyes. "Me."

Jake scoffed. "No."

"No?" Nathan asked with a look that said 'I don't believe you.'

Jake sighed. "Yes."

"Why don't we just play something else?"

"Like what?"

"How about…name that song?" Nathan suggested.

"How do you play that one?" Jake asked.

"You sing a song and I have to guess which one it is and you do the same with me."

Jake pondered for a moment before giving Nathan a nod, "Okay."

--------------

Anna stormed in her brother's room but stopped in her tracks when she saw who occupied it.

"Who are you?" she asked looking at the two girls who were talking and seated on the bed.

The brunette looked up. "Me? Who are you? You work for Felix too?"

"Ew, no!" Anna shuddered disgustedly at what she thought these girls were. "Are you hookers?"

"Excuse me?" the red head said offended.

"Well I would like to know why my brother has two girls, who I've never seen before, in his room," she said.

The brunette stood up and walked over to her. "Well I'm Nikki and that's Rachel."

Anna looked at Nikki. "What're you doing here?"

"Felix and I just have a little agreement at the moment," she responded. "So if you don't mind we would like some privacy."

Anna sighed defeated. "Fine."

And with that she walked out of the room.

I am confused as hell, she thought as she heard the door shut behind her.

---------------

(Brooke and Haley before the lights went out)

"Hey Haley remember when I used to call my mom Wonder Woman?" Brooke asked as she leaned her head on her friend's shoulder.

"Yeah," she answered with a slight laugh. "And you said mine could be Cat Woman, but I wanted her to Barbie."

Brooke laughed. "You had one weird obsession with that doll Hales."

"Hey!" she said in offense. "Don't think I forgot what you did, you Barbie-napper!"

"Seriously Haley, what makes you think it was me?"

"I found one of your Trollz at the crime scene," she answered looking at Brooke closely for any sign that she was in fact the person who did it.

"You have like a million brothers and sisters, it could have been one of theirs," Brooke said, trying to prove herself innocent.

"Really?" Haley said, still not believing her. "Well none of them were angry at me when it happened, and none of them seemed happy when it was gone, other than you of course."

"Okay fine! It was me!" Brooke admitted.

"I knew it!" Haley as she stood from the bed and pointed an accusing finger at her. "I knew it was you!"

"Yeah well, you burned my favorite Troll, so the bitch had it coming," she said, not really regretful of her actions.

"Brooke, Brooke, Brooke," Haley said as she shook her head. "I didn't burn your Troll…"

She looked up at Haley surprised. "Really?"

"I gave it to Sparky…"

Brooke's eyes widened.

Sparky was her neighbor's dog when they were little. He was a huge bull dog that drooled like there was no tomorrow, and if he bit you…well let's not get into detail about that one.

"Then when I found it again, after a week or so, I flushed it down the toilet," Haley finished with a proud smile.

"That's funny," Brooke said with a smirk. "Cause that's exactly what I did to Barbie!"

Haley gasped. "Bitch!"

"Why thank you," Brooke said with a smirk.

Haley sat down next to Brooke again. "You are so lucky you're my best friend or else I would have kicked your ass."

"I know," Brooke said as she leaned her head on Haley's shoulder again. "I hope our kids become best friends."

"Yeah…" Haley said then as if it just hit her she said, "Oh my god, we're pregnant."

"Yup."

"I'm gonna have a mini Jake," Haley said as if it were a bad thing.

"Or a mini Haley," Brooke said as if were twice as worse.

"Hey," Haley said offended.

Brooke just laughed. "I'm just joking, besides what are you so worried about? Be happy to be having Jake's kid. I mean look at Jenny, she came from the spawn of Satan herself, but she's the sweetest little thing because of Jake."

"True," she said dreamily as she began to think about her boyfriend.

Brooke sat up and snapped her fingers in front of Haley's face.

"What?" she asked with a lazy smile.

"Stop perving," Brooke ordered. "I do not want to be present when you start self-serving yourself while thinking about Jake."

"Whatever," Haley laughed but stopped when she heard something.

"What was that?" Brooke asked, alarmed.

Haley held a finger to her lips signaling her to be quiet as she stood up and walked over to the window, where they heard the noise come from.

"What was that?" Brooke repeated, now whispering.

"I don't know," Haley said as she stepped back from the window. "It was probably a cat or something."

"Yeah, of course," she said uneasily.

"It was nothing Brooke," Haley assured.

"You're right," she said, a little more calmly.

Haley smiled, glad she wasn't freaking out, and began to walk over to the bed. But she stopped when she heard a soft knock at the door.

Brooke looked scared.

"Chill Brooke, it's probably Lucas or Taylor needing help with the food," Haley said as she went to open the door.

She saw a guy standing there and it definitely wasn't Lucas.

"Who are you?" Haley asked, slightly scared.

"Uh…" he said nervously before clearing his throat to answer her. "I'm Felix, Peyton's friend, and uh…Anna's brother."

"Oh! So you're Felix," Haley said as she looked at him, she heard so much about him yet she has never seen him till now.

"Yeah," he said somewhat sadly. "I came to talk to you about Jake and Nathan…is Brooke here?"

"In here!" he heard come from the room.

Haley let him in the room.

He stood before the bed and Haley did too, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"Okay so the thing is..." he started as he looked down. "They're...they're dead."

"What?" Haley said shocked. "H-How?"

"It was a hit and run," he explained. "I found them…and by the time help arrived it was…it was too late."

Brooke started hyperventilating.

"I'm sorry,"' he said sympathetically.

"No," Haley said before her eyes rolled back and everything went black for her.

Felix tried to catch her but it was too late she had already fell back and smacked her head pretty hard against the floor.

"Could you turn on the television?" Brooke asked void of any emotion.

Felix looked confused but nodded as he turned over to the television. He sighed when he saw that it was unplugged so he bent down to plug it back in.

Right when he put it in, there was a big spark and a pop sound.

"Shit!" he yelped as he pulled his hand back and the lights went out.

They went out just around the time that Brooke realized that Haley's head was bleeding.

"Ahhh!" she screamed in terror before, she passed out on the bed.

"Oh…shit," was all Felix could muster.

---------------

Rachel and Nikki were still in Felix's room.

Rachel looked down at her phone when it rang.

Unknown caller

Nikki saw too and raised her eyebrow.

"It's probably Felix," Rachel said before answering her phone. "Did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Chris?" she asked with confusion.

"Yeah," he said. "What were you talking about?"

Rachel knew he meant the way she answered the phone. "Uh…sorry I thought you were someone else…so…what did you need?"

"I just wanted to know if you were in town," he said.

"Yeah I am, actually," she said with smirk. "Why? Want to hook up?"

Nikki heard this and rolled her eyes.

Chris laughed nervously, since Peyton was standing next to him, but she couldn't hear the conversation.

He leaned against the phone booth. "Uh…no, actually I just wanted to know to see if we could hang out?"

Rachel smiled mischievously, thinking 'hang out' had another meaning. "Sure, just meet me at my friends house."

"Where is it?" he asked and nodded as she told him. "Okay I'll be right there."

"Great!" she said. "See you, bye."

She closed her phone happily and turned to meet Nikki's disapproving stare. "What?"

"Did you just invite that boy over here?"

Rachel nodded. "Yeah, so?"

Nikki groaned in annoyance. "We don't have time for that, we have other things to do."

"No," the red head disagreed. "You have things to do, I on the other hand, have someone to do."

"Ugh you're such a whore," Nikki said.

"That's just a compliment for me, sweetheart," Rachel told her.

"Whatever skank."

"Thanks bitch."

"Ho."

"Slut."

"That would be you Rach," Nikki laughed. "Don't get it twisted."

"Right," she laughed. "Cause you are definitely the psycho."

"I'll say," Felix said breathlessly as he entered his room.

"Where have you been?" Nikki asked.

"I went to do what you asked," he said as he sat down on his computer chair.

"So how did it go?" Rachel said.

"I think we should stop," Felix said. "I mean isn't this taking things too far?"

"We're not taking things far enough," Nikki grumbled.

Rachel ignored her comment. "Why? What happened?"

"After I told them what you told me to, one of them passed out, then the lights went out, and the other one passed out, and then I looked down and saw that…that…" he couldn't finish.

"Stop stuttering, and spit it out!" Nikki yelled, frustrated.

"That Haley girl, she-she was bleeding badly from the back of her head…it was making a big puddle on the floor but I didn't notice until I tripped and…" he looked down at his blood stained hands. "Well I got freaked, and I heard someone coming up the stairs so I ran over to the room I came in through and climbed back out the window."

Rachel ran a hand through her hair and sighed. "Is that all?"

"When I was leaving I heard the ambulance and police coming," he said. "I stayed a little longer to see what they were doing or if the girls would wake up, but I just saw both of them get hauled into the ambulance, and then I left."

"So you got both of them sent to the hospital?" Rachel asked, actually concerned. What gives? Why do I care? she thought.

"Great job!" Nikki laughed. "Now I'll be sure to get my daughter back, with Jake 'dead' and her girlfriend in the hospital and all."

I think Nikki is an even bigger bitch than I am, Rachel thought in awe.

"I don't feel good about any of this," Felix said. "I think you should let Jake and Nathan go."

"I'm with him on this one," Rachel said. "Let them go."

"Are you kidding me?" Nikki said in shock. "We're too far in to back out now."

"We can still fix it," Felix told her.

"Yeah," Rachel agreed.

"Oh yeah? Well you can both kiss my ass because there is no way in hell I'm gonna let you guys stop me," Nikki said.

"And how will that work Nikki?" Rachel retorted. "It's our word against your's."

"I have proof that you both helped," Nikki said simply. "You really think Nathan wouldn't tell on you? Especially after you talked about how you were going to hurt his girlfriend? You wish Rachel. And you," she said as she looked at Felix. "Those girls saw you, and if they find out that Nathan and Jake aren't dead, they're gonna know you lied, and report you."

Felix and Rachel shared a look and sighed defeatedly.

"That's what I thought," Nikki smirked. "Now one of you should check on the boys...who knows what they're knowing in that basement."

---------------

"Oh…my…god," Anna said under her breath as she removed her ear from the door.

Felix you are a frickin idiota! she thought angrily.

She heard the people in the room near the door so she quickly made it into her own bedroom.

Then she heard their footsteps fade as they walked down the hall.

She let out a breath. "Felix…you so give a new meaning to the word stupid."

---------------

(Lucas, Taylor , and Jenny after the lights went out)

"I found a flashlight!" Lucas said as he grabbed it out of the drawer and smacked it few times so that it would turn on.

"Thank god!" Taylor said. "I hate the frickin dark."

Jenny was still whimpering. "I want mommy."

Lucas looked at her. "Yeah, we should go check on Haley and Brooke."

Taylor nodded. "Lead the way."

Lucas walked ahead of her as he went up the stairs slowly, he could have sworn he heard something, like a window closing, but he pushed the thought aside as he neared the door.

He turned over to Taylor. "Stay here."

"What? Why?" she said quickly.

"Cause it's dark and if we go in there together we could run into each other," he explained.

"But you have the flashlight," she complained, then she looked into her arms. "Plus! I got the kid."

"And?" he said.

"She's gonna get scared," she said shakily.

"So use the light from your cell phone then," he said. "But stay right here, I don't want to go looking for you if you wander off."

"Gee, thanks," she said sarcastically. "Nice to see what you're willing to do for me Lucas Scott."

"You know what I mean," he said.

"Just get in there," she said.

He sighed. "Fine."

He pushed the door open lightly before he fully stepped in.

He put the light on the bed and he saw Brooke out like a light, thinking she was asleep, he smiled.

Where the hell is Haley though? he thought as his smile turned to a frown.

He pointed the flashlight everywhere until he saw Haley's figure on the floor.

"Only you Hales," he laughed, thinking she fell off the bed while asleep, but his smile soon faded away when he pointed the light to her face.

Her face was pale, her lips were barely open, and behind her head was a puddle of blood.

"Haley?" he said with a crack in his voice as he bent down to lift her head up.

He removed his hand from the back of her head and almost gagged when he saw the sticky, red substance covering his hand.

"Taylor!" he yelled desperately. "Call 911!"

"Why?!" she said as she stepped into the room frantically. "What happen-" she stopped when she saw Lucas on the floor with Haley on his lap and him pointing the flashlight to her lifeless face.

"Oh my god," she said quickly.

"Haley," he said as he moved a stray hair from her face. "Sweetie, wake up."

"Mama?" Jenny said, wanting to cry again, she turned to Taylor. "Is mama sleeping?"

"Yeah, Jenny, baby, mama's sleeping," Taylor quickly said as she walked back into the hall, Jenny didn't need to see Haley in that condition. She quickly took out her cell phone and dialed. "Hello? Yes, we need an ambulance, my sister, she-she-she's bleeding really badly and-"

"Taylor!" Lucas yelled.

"What?!" she yelled back.

"Brooke won't wake up!"

Taylor tried to speak without breaking down. "A-And my other sister won't wake up."

She figured they would tell her what's wrong with her if they thought she was family, beside Brooke really was like a sister to her. Ever since Haley and Brooke became best friends Taylor made it her job to see that nobody messed with either one of them.

She just hoped that they were going to be okay.

So she continued to tell the authorities the address, while Jenny started crying, knowing something was wrong.

-------------

Chris stood before the house that Rachel gave him the address to, he thought it looked familiar.

"This is Felix's house," Peyton said as if she read his mind.

"Figures," he said as he walked up to the door and knocked.

Anna opened the door, with a frown but it changed into a smile when she saw who it was. "Hey guys."

Chris gave a nod and Peyton smiled.

"So what're you doing here?" Anna asked, then she looked over at Chris. "And weren't they ready to kick your ass about an hour ago."

"Yeah," he laughed.

"Actually we're here to see someone," Peyton said going straight to business, this was a long night, she didn't want to prolong it anymore than it already has been.

"Really? Who?" she asked.

"Rachel wouldn't happen to be here would she?" Chris asked.

"You know her?" Anna said surprised.

"Yeah, we go way back," he smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

"Well, hold on," Anna said as she walked into the house and took a deep breath. "Rachel!"

"What?" she said annoyed as she walked out of the kitchen, with Felix and Nikki with her. They were going to go check on Jake and Nathan but then Felix decided he was hungry and they ended up in the kitchen.

"Someone's here to see you," Anna said, just as annoyed.

Rachel looked over to the door and smirked. "Chris, it's about time you showed up."

Felix glared daggers at him.

Chris winked at Felix in response; he knew it was going to irritate him.

"Sorry Rachel," he smirked as he looked over at her. "I had to walk here."

"No problem," she said.

"So can we talk for a minute?" Chris asked.

"Sure," she said happily, still thinking there was hidden meaning to his words. "Felix's room or Anna's?"

---------------

"My loneliness is killing me, I must confess I still believe! When I'm not with you I lose my mind, give me a sign!" Jake sang loudly.

"Jake! Are you serious?! That's like the fifth Britney Spears song you've done."

"That's not Britney Spears!" Jake retorted.

"Oh really? Cause that sounded a hell of a lot like 'Hit Me Baby One More Time'."

"It was!" Jake said.

"Then that was a Britney Spears song," Nathan said looking at Jake like he was crazy.

"Nuh-uh," Jake disagreed with a shake of his head. "That was Bowling For Soup."

Nathan looked confused. "What?"

"They did a cover on that song," Jake explained.

"Jake!" he groaned. "No covers!"

"Well you didn't say that before!" Jake argued back.

"Whatever-" he was about to say more when a ring tone stopped him.

Isn't she lovely?

This Hollywood girl

And they say she's so lucky, she's a star

But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart thinking,

If there's nothing missing in my life,

Why do these tears come at night?

Nathan listened to the ring tone in confusion. "One of the girls must have left their cell phone here."

Jake laughed nervously. "Actually that's my phone," he saw the look Nathan was giving him and he shrugged. "What? I think Britney's songs are catchy, so sue me. Besides I thought that ring tone fit pretty well with Brooke."

"Brooke?" Nathan asked happily. "That was her calling you?"

"Well it is the ring tone I have set for her," he said confusedly. "Why?"

"Dude the only reason I didn't try to get the hell out of here was because I thought we didn't have our phones and we have no idea where we are," Nathan said as he looked at the table that Jake's cell was on. "Does your phone have speaker?"

Jake nodded.

"Okay then," Nathan said as he stretched his feet out towards the table, he couldn't believe he didn't notice it until now. He grabbed the phone between his two feet and moved his feet carefully back over to him to position the phone on the floor.

That would have been easier if these stupid chairs weren't bolted to the floor, he thought.

The phone was still ringing so Nathan quickly took his right shoe off, he was thankful that Jake's phone wasn't a flip phone, so he used his toe to press the speaker button.

"Hello?" he spoke loudly.

"Nathan?" Lucas asked, you could tell by his voice he was crying.

"Yeah man, Jake and I are stuck in some place, we were kidnapped," he explained desperately. "You have to help us."

"What?"

"Yeah we don't know where we are," Nathan said.

"This can't be happening," he heard Lucas mumble.

"What's going on?"

"Well, Haley and Brooke they," then they heard Taylor yell 'no!' and Lucas spoke again. "Look um…never mind…I just…I…I don't know what to do."

"What?!" both Nathan and Jake yelled.

"We need you're help Lucas!" Nathan exclaimed.

"Yeah," Jake said then he vaguely remembered Lucas said something about Brooke and Haley. "What's wrong with the girls?"

"I-I don't know what to do," Lucas said again.

"Lucas," Nathan said, trying to get him to pay attention.

"I don't know what to do."

---------------

Chase, after his mother decided not to let him in, went back to Felix's house, since he wanted a chance to see Anna.

He got to the door, took a deep breath, and chickened out.

He began to walk away but as he passed the basement window he stopped.

"Yeah man, Jake and I are stuck in some place, we were kidnapped," he heard Nathan explain desperately. "You have to help us."

Chase scrunched his eyebrows. "Kidnapped?"

He bent down to look through the window, his eyes widening when he saw Jake and Nathan strapped to chairs.

He listened to the rest of his conversation up until Nathan groaned and the call was over.

"I can't believe he can't help us!" Nathan yelled.

Chase saw that the window was slightly open so he pushed it opened it slowly. There wasn't enough room for him to fit through it though so he settled for calling them. "Hey guys."

Jake and Nathan looked up quickly.

"Chase?" Nathan asked, since he recognized the voice.

"Yeah," he said. "I'm gonna help you out okay?"

"Yes! Please!" Jake yelled relieved.

"I'll be back," Chase said as he began to stand up. When he turned around he almost had a heart attack.

"What do you think you're doing?"

The end of chapter 37
