Brooke was driving one car with Lucas in and Nathan was driving the other with Haley.

"Are you sure you don't want me to drive?" Lucas asked, he was quite happy to drive

"Luke I'm fine and I don't think it's a good idea that you drive after hitting your head like that" Brooke replied, there was no way she was letting him drive, she didn't want another accident that was for sure.

"They wouldn't have released me if they didn't think I was fine" Lucas said

"Yeah well I'm still driving" Brooke replied

There was a long silence

"So do you want to talk about the whole Keith thing?" Brooke asked changing the subject

"There's not much more to say, he's changed, that's all there is to it" Lucas said coldly

"Luke I know how much he means to you, I know I don't know him as well as you do but I don't believe that Keith would do this to you" Brooke said

"Well he did so clearly none of us knew him that well" Lucas replied

"You said he seemed surprised to see you" Brooke said rather confused at that

"Yeah it was like he wasn't even expecting me to show" Lucas said replaying it all in his head

"Maybe he didn't" Brooke said simply

"What do you mean? He told me to come, it said in the letter" Lucas said not understand where Brooke was going with this.

"Think about it Luke, I know this may sound crazy but just say Keith didn't send that letter" Brooke replied

"But he gave me his address and everything" Lucas said

"Yeah but that doesn't mean it was him, just someone who knew where he was. Like you said Keith was surprised to see you and he didn't even need the money. Does that not make you think?" Brooke asked
"I guess it doesn't really add up but that doesn't change the fact that he was with Jules" Lucas said thinking what Brooke said through, maybe she was right, maybe he had overreacted

"Yeah but this might seem a bit out there but maybe that's what whoever wrote the letter wanted you to see, you don't even know what Keith was doing with Jules, they may not even be together" Brooke said

"But who would want me to see that Brooke? I just saw Jules and freaked, maybe I should have given Keith time to explain but he had just left us, no contact no nothing and there he was in front of me with her" Lucas replied

"I know but what if it was just a coincidence that she was there, what if this was all a big set up for you to see" Brooke suggested

"You've been watching way too many TV mysteries" Lucas joked

"I missed you" Haley said looking over at her husband

"I missed you too, Brooke was convinced that something was wrong and I thought she was overreacting, then when you rang and I saw how upset Brooke was, I was scared Hales" Nathan admitted

"It's alright to be scared Nathan, I know you guys like being all macho and manly but you don't have to be like that, that's what I like about you, you're not afraid to admit how you are feeling to me" Haley said

"Brooke hardly said a word on the way to the hospital, it was terrible, I didn't know what to say to her, she really thought she was going to lose him, what could I possibly say to her and then I thought about if it had been you, I would have been exactly like her Hales, you mean everything to me" Nathan replied

"You mean everything to me too Nathan" Haley said as she lent over and kissed him on the cheek.

Lucas just sat there and stared out the window thinking all of it through. Maybe it was just best left in the past. He looked over at Brooke and couldn't help but get this sense of guilt

"I'm sorry I was not there" Lucas said, he had been feeling guilty all night about leaving her and the whole break-in thing.

"There for what?" Brooke said rather confused

"The whole Dan breaking in thing, Nathan told me how scared you were" Lucas replied

"It wasn't just that, I just needed to feel safe and you weren't there" Brooke said quietly

"I'm never gonna leave you again" Lucas said meaning it from the bottom of his heart, he hated her feeling scared, he would be there to protect her from everything that he could.

"I know" Brooke said softly, she knew he meant it, the last few days had taught both of them something, it had taught her how much she loved him and how much she needed him in her life. "Your dad is really creepy" Brooke added just thinking about it over again

"Tell me something I don't know" Lucas joked

"I mean I really thought someone was breaking in, I was terrified and hid in the closet and then when Nate got me out there he was right in front of me, it was so weird" Brooke replied

Lucas just sat there and listened to her, he wish he had been there for her

"Dan is just weird, there is no trying to understand that man" Lucas said

"Still it was rather weird that the first night that you are gone that we get broken into" Brooke said, that was just her luck.

"Brooke you're a genius" Lucas shouted, it all made sense now

"Am I?" Brooke asked rather shocked at Lucas's outburst

"Think about it, first we had those cameras, which Dan said were for Deb, then I get the letter and then you get broken into" Lucas said

"I don't get what you're saying" Brooke said not following him at all

"The cameras, they weren't for Deb at all, they were for us, and he must have installed them when we went away, then I got the letter which was a set up. Then because we had removed all the cameras he had no idea what was going on so the only way he could know was if he broke in" Lucas said rather impressed, it was quite far fetched but anything was possible where Dan was concerned

"That night when he broke in, he asked where you and Haley were" Brooke said remembering what Dan had said

"See I told you its him, this is all Dan" Lucas said

"But why would he want to tell you where Keith was?" Brooke asked, that was the one thing that did not make sense

"Maybe he wanted me to see Keith with Jules, knowing that I would have to tell my mom and that would be the end of them. Maybe this whole thing comes down to Keith's relationship with my mom and me and Dan feeling out in the cold" Lucas said

"I don't know Luke, would he seriously do that to his brother?" Brooke asked

"Brooke this is Dan Scott we are talking about here, Keith slept with Deb, maybe this is all about revenge, Dan destroying Keith's world" Lucas suggested

"So what are we gonna do if you're right?" Brooke asked, it was all very well knowing what Dan was up to but what could they do?

"I don't know, I guess me and Dan need to talk" Lucas said

"Luke I'm not so sure that's a good idea, I mean we have no proof so he's just going to deny it isn't he" Brooke said

"We're just gonna have to be clever that's all, play him at his own game" Lucas said

"You're so sexy when you're thinking" Brooke said seductively when she looked over at him

"We are so picking this up when we get in but for now I think you need to keep your eyes on the road" Lucas said, he was so turned on by her but they needed to get home, then they could do whatever they wanted

"Better get home quick then" Brooke said pushing her foot down on the accelerator
