Chapter#6~ Saving!
"Who freakin' took Haley" Nathan yelled, looking between Peyton and Brooke.
Finally, Brooke very lowly whispered but Nathan and everyone else heard her say his name. "Dan"
Nathan stood there for a moment and his face went pale. It was as if he was hypnotized but that lasted all of two seconds, "Which way did he drive?" he finally asked breaking free of his daze.
"In the direction of the main highway, I think" Brooke said.
"You think? YOU THINK? My wife and unborn baby are trapped with the lunatic who I have to have for a dad and all you can say is that you think he went towards the main highway?" Nathan yelled it; he was out of his mind.
Brooke was shaking a little in Lucas' arms "I'm sorry" she whispered through tears.
"Nathan man you have to calm down," Lucas reasoned.
"Calm down? CALM DOWN? Luke you freakin' know how he is and he took Haley. He's crazy enough to hurt her."
"I get that alright but there's no reason to yell at Brooke for it okay. Its not her fault that she doesn't know where Dan took Haley"
"UGH! You're right I'm sorry Brooke I didn't mean to yell at you like that" Nathan apologized.
"It's okay," she said understandingly. Nathan ran both hands through his hair.
"Oh God guys what do I do? I have to get to her." suddenly his cell phone rang. "What?" he yelled into the phone annoyed.
"Calm down there son this is your big night you shouldn't be so worried," Dan's menacing voice came through the phone.
"You bastard! Where is she?"
"She's right here next to me." Dan was driving but had tied Haley's arms behind her back and had gagged her so she couldn't talk.
"If you hurt her I swear I'll kill you."
"Now, now I wont hurt her she's fine." "Yea how am I supposed to know you haven't hurt her already? Let me talk to her."
"You drive a hard bargain but alright." Dan pulled over for a second and un- gagged Haley placing the phone at her ear.
"Nathan..." she cried into the phone.
"Haley are you alright?" came Nathan's worried voice through the phone. Before she could answer, Dan re-gagged her and put the phone back by his ear.
"Alright you've heard she's alright."
"Give her back you..." he was cut off.
"Now now son there you go again with the worry. Be happy it is your big night! If you want her all you have to do is come get her."
"Where?"
"First of all call the police and she dies. Beach House, I will be waiting," and with that, he hung up the phone.
"Where is she?" asked Luke looking at Nathan.
"I have to go" Nathan said not seeming to have heard him.
"Nate what did he say?" Jake asked.
"He wants me to come get her."
"Don't do it man it's a trap," Jake warned.
"He's right Nathan. Dan is just luring you there he has something planned. All of this was obviously planned you have to call the police." Peyton told him.
"NO! He said he'd kill her if I brought the police." Nathan told them not doubting his father's threat.
"Don't be stupid you have to have backup or you're going to end up getting hurt yourself." Luke told him.
"Yea well what if Haley dies huh? What if Haley dies because I didn't listen to my so-called-father's threats? What happens then huh? You tell me Luke then what?" Nathan tried to yell it but his voice cracked along the way.
"Look just tell us where you're headed will give you like a 10 minute head start and then we'll call the police" Jake reasoned.
"I have to go get Haley" Nathan said as he turned to leave.
"Where?" Brooke choked out.
"Beach House" he yelled and with that, he was out the door.
"I better go handle this press conference ordeal. Brooke you want to come?" Luke stated trying to be calm.
"No I'll stay with Peyton," she tearfully said as she went over to hug her friend. Luke was going to tell Jake to call the police now and forget those stupid 10 minutes but Jake was already on the phone filling them in on the details and asking them to bring an ambulance...just in case.

Dan pushed Haley into the kitchen of the beach house and un-gagged her.
"What are you going to do with me?" Haley fearfully asked.
"Nothing to you sweetheart oh no see you're just the luring object to get Nathan here. It's the only way I knew he would come. SIT DOWN!" he motioned to a chair that was already placed in the middle of the room. Haley sat as her hands were still tied behind her back. As Dan tied Haley's feet together, she couldn't help but talk to him to see if she could get something out of what his intentions were.
"Well then what are you going to do with Nathan?" He started to tie rope around her stomach. "No please don't!"
"What?" he asked confused.
"Please don't tie the rope around my stomach."
"Please don't tie the rope around my stomach" he mimicked her, "yea like that's going to make me not do it," he laughed to himself.
"I'm pregnant" she choked out tearfully.
"What?" he asked as he tied the knot behind the chair.
"I'm pregnant and tying a tight rope around my stomach cant possibly be good for the baby."
He tied the ropes tighter so that they were imprinting on Haley's stomach. She jumped as he jolted the rope tighter. "Oh please don't make up lies its not like it's going to get you anywhere."
"I'm not lying!" she cried.
"Sure" he evilly laughed.
She gave him a glare as he turned his back and went back to the gym bag from where he had taken all the ropes. She knew he wouldn't believe her about the baby so she tried to get an answer to her earlier question by asking it again.
"What are you going to do with Nathan?" she asked trying to be calm but the nervousness showing through inevitably.
"Very simple" he replied his back still turned. He turned around and had a gun in his hand as he smiled diabolically "I'm going to kill him."
~~**~~
"Look for the millionth time I can't tell you what type of a family crisis because it may hurt the process of the crisis getting resolved safely." Luke responded annoyed at these reporters' incessant questions.
"Does that mean someone's life is in danger?" called out a reporter. Lucas stood up defeated indicating that that would be the last question he would answer. He took a deep breath and exhaled.
He bent his head towards the microphone "More than one" he answered lowly and with that, he turned to walk away.
~~**~~
"What?" Haley asked in disbelief. "Why do you want to kill your own son?"
"He shut me out of his life after everything I've done for him and by killing him he won't live out his basketball dreams just like I didn't. On the plus side, it will hurt you to lose your beloved husband, Deb her son, Keith his nephew, and Lucas..." he gritted Lucas' name through his teeth, "his brother. That's a total of 5 birds with one stone or should I say bullet." He laughed evilly.
Haley stared at him in disbelief "You are not going to get away with this" she said trying desperately to be strong.
"Oh but I will and you should be thankful really," he said as-a-matter-of- factly. "Thankful?" Haley asked confused.
"Yea thankful" he replied as if it was the simplest thing in the world, "because at least you two will spend his last moments together."
Suddenly the front door flew open and Nathan ran towards the kitchen. "NATHAN!" Haley yelled trying somehow to warn him of what she was afraid was coming. He ran into the kitchen "Haley?" he looked at her, concern all over his features, not even acknowledging his father's presence.
A shot rang out.
"Who freakin' took Haley" Nathan yelled, looking between Peyton and Brooke.
Finally, Brooke very lowly whispered but Nathan and everyone else heard her say his name. "Dan"
