At the Car Park

"What was that?" Tamara asks while looking around.

"What was what?" Oscar answers her.

"That noise!"

"Guys, stop just stop!" Matt shouts at his friends who were all jumping at the smallest thing.

"Matt, we would stop but right now we all in panic mode considering there is a potential killer out there and my boyfriend and his brother are in those trees with a completely stranger." Phoebe said as tears started to form in her eyes.

"Look Phoebe, I think if that guy helped warn us off something then he has to be a good guy. Also Kyle and Casey will be fine ok you'll see." Evie told her friend.

Suddenly out of nowhere two figures appeared from the bushes.

"Ahhhhh." All the teens screamed.

"Wow guys calm down its just us." Casey shouted over the screams coming from his friends.

"Ahh! Casey? Kyle?" Xavier asked as he stopped screaming.

"Yeah its us so kill your beans." Kyle answered.

"You two scared us all have to death!" April shouted at them.

"Well we are sorry. What did you want us to do announce we were here?" Casey asked them all.

"Well that would have been nice." Maddy replied.

"Ok next time we are in a situation like this then we will speak before we appear." Casey laughed.

"Good and it's not funny Casey." April said as she hit Casey.

"Kyle, baby are you ok?" Phoebe asked her boyfriend.

"Yeah Pheebs I'm fine." Kyle answered her "Well apart from being soaking wet but that's ok."

"If your sure."

"I'm sure."

"Well before you two start making out can we get in the cars please and go before we get caught?!" Casey half shouted and half asked at the same time.

"Where are we going?" Aden asks the two brothers.

"Ask Casey because I have no clue as to exactly where we are going." Kyle told his best friend while looking at Casey.

"Just follow me and Kyle." Casey told them all as he walked round to the driver's side of the car.

"Fine but let's get going." Josh said.

With that all the teens stop talking and get in the cars that they were in when they got to the National Park, accept for Oscar who decided to go with his girlfriend, Phoebe and Tamara.

In Casey and Kyle's Car

The car was silent as it quickly drove out of the car park with the others quickly following.

Casey who didn't really like the silence decided to ask Kyle what was going on: "So bro, what is going and who was that guy?"

Kyle turned to his brother and said: "How did I know that was coming?"

"You just know me to well!" Casey laughed while concentrating on the road.

"That I do brother, that I do. Anyway are you sure you really want to know?" Kyle asked his brother hoping he would see it didn't matter.

"Yeah I do."

"Ok then I'll tell you."

10 minutes later…

"So now you know." Kyle said as he finished the story.

"Jesus, I'm so sorry Kyle." Casey said to Kyle.

"Why are you sorry it's not like you knew I existed and even if had there was nothing you could have done."

"I know but I'm still sorry. There's one thing that I don't understand."

"What?"

"If you never told anyone about your uncle till, well now, how is it you ended up in foster care instead of being placed with your uncle?"

"Well after what happened Derek went on the run, no one knew where he was and they couldn't contact him. Too be honest I thought he was dead until now when he reappeared in my live to try and kill me."

"Oh I guess that makes sense that he would go on the run so that no one could find him and link him back to what happened. What about dad why didn't he do anything as after all he knew you existed?"

"Well dad didn't want me in his life. It turns out the only reason he actually spent anytime with me up until that point was due to the fact mum threatened to tell Cheryl about how dad cheated on her with my mum. So I think in the end social services thought the best place for me would be to put me in foster care."

"Well I knew dad was cruel but I didn't know he was that cruel. I mean to turn away your own child after you had just lost your mother and had no one else, that's something else."

"You're telling me."

"Well if it helps I kind of wished that I was in foster care at times while I was growing up."

"What? Why would you wish something like that?"

"Well it beat having dad hit you and shout at you everyday and call you useless because I wasn't like Heath and Brax when I was younger."

"Oh I guess that would make you wish to be in foster care." Kyle laughed as he tried to lighten the mood.

"Hey being in foster care must have been alright for you though."

"How do you mean?"

"Well look at you, you're a talented musician and Class A Nerd so it must have had some benefits."

"Yeah but it doesn't work out like that for everyone. I was just lucky enough to be placed with great foster families who cared about me and not just the money they were getting for looking after me."

"True, I guess you must still be close to your foster families?" Casey asked hoping it would lead to finding out about Callie and this woman he called mum.

"Well my last foster family before I came to the bay still keeps in contact."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really."

"How long were you with them for?"

"Well they were my third and last foster family so I was about ten and half at the time."

"So you were only with three families before you came to live with us but I thought from your story about your truth you would have been placed with another family.

"No thankfully no one ever told social services and I'm happy they didn't otherwise dad wouldn't have found me and then I wouldn't have come to the Bay to live with my actual family."

"Well I'm glad but do you not miss them considering you were with them for five years?"

"Yeah I do but that's why I still talk to them nearly every week."

"So I'm guessing your still close to them then."

"Yeah, hang on where is this going Casey?"

"I overhead you on the phone last week saying how you wished your mum and Callie could join you for your birthday."

"Oh, wait you heard that?"

"Yeah I just got back from work and I'm sorry if I wasn't meant to."

"No it's okay I guess I should have told you all about them sooner."

"That's ok and I won't say anything to Brax and Heath if you don't want me too."

"No they deserve the right to know about my whole life cause between you and me, I think they are frustrated over the fact that I have been living with you all for three years and they still don't know much about me."

"True. So what are they like?"

"Who?"

"Your last foster family as they most be important to you."

"They are a lovely family."

"That's good."

"Yeah there's Kevin who is more of dad to me than Danny ever was. Then there's Vanessa who you heard me on the phone to the other day the woman who I call mum and that leaves me with Callie who is a year older than me and looked out for me everyday."

"Sounds like you really loved them."

"I did and still do. I tell them everything for example I told them about all of you and they were pleased that you were really nice and give me a home."

"But they did that and I'm sure Brax would love to thank them."

"I know he would but they were just happy that they were able to give me a safe home environment and that I was able to become a great human being. I actually learned to play the guitar from Kevin."

"Cool." Casey said as he didn't want Kyle to stop speaking as this was the most open about his life before Summer Bay than he'd ever been before.

"I would just sit and watch him play for hours on end and I guess he figured that I might be good at it so he went out and bought me my own guitar and taught me everything he knew. When it come to Vanessa she encouraged me to embrace who I was and not to be scared of being smart as she said and I quote 'Those kids only pick on you because they know that one day you will be successful at whatever you decide to do because you worked hard while all they will be doing is working in a lousy job that doesn't pay that well because they didn't apply themselves at school.' Every time I got bullied after that I would just think of those words."

"Well she seems like a wise woman." Casey said as he checked the mirror to make sure they others were still following them.

"She is and she always will be."

"What about Callie?"

"Well were do I start; Callie is the big sister that I kind of always wanted she looked out for me at school she went out of her way to make me feel like one of the family."

"Well it's nice to know that their own biological daughter made you feel like apart of the family as I heard most don't."

"Callie actually isn't there biological daughter she was in foster care like me and they adopted her when she went to live with them at the age of three."

"Woah, that's so nice of them. Hey I just remembered you only ever mentioned Callie and Vanessa on the phone not Kevin."

"That's because Kevin is actually not in the country."

"Oh why?"

"He works for a sales company so he is in London at the moment that's why I didn't mention him. Where did you think he was?"

"I kind of thought he was dead, no offence."

"I'll tell him you said that." Kyle laughed as Casey stopped the car. "I take it this is where we are meeting Ray?"

"What give it away?" Casey laughed as he stopped the engine and got out of the car to meet the others, with Kyle following his lead.
