Ryan was nervous as he walked into the visiting area. He looked over
at Seth, who was looking at the cells. Ryan knew what was on his mind. He
knew that Seth was thinking that Ryan was in a place like this less than a
year ago.
Ryan snapped out of his thought when Seth bumped into him. "Sorry about that. Is that them?" Ryan looked where Seth was pointing. There they were. Sitting on the other side of the bulletproof glass, talking to each other. Ryan and Seth walked over. "Stay here," Ryan said. Seth found a chair and pulled it over, and waited.
Ryan picked up the phone. "Well. You guys did it this time. Robbing a bank. Jesus! Trey didn't even slip that low." Ryan was furious. He didn't mean to be, but he just was. "Look. Why the hell are you here?" Dawn demanded. "We need to talk about Alec." Theresa looked at him. She was beaten really badly, and there were crutches next to her. "A-Alec? You swore to God you would never bring him up again!" Theresa was furious. Theresa had dated Alec for quite sometime, and was on her way to see him when the cops pulled her over for speeding. "I know he wasn't shot. What the hell happened to him?" Ryan asked. "You really want to know? Fine. He killed his parents and tried to kill his brother, Sim. But Sim was able to escape. He went to the police station and told the cops what happened. By the time they got there, he was dead. He killed himself. But he left a note. The note was addressed to you." Dawn said. Ryan stared at her. "I still have it." Dawn asked the guard to give the note to him. When Ryan got the note, it was sealed shut and said RYAN ATWOOD. Ryan opened it.
Ryan,
I'm so sorry about what I did. I shouldn't have killed them or myself. I want you to take Sim, if you can find him, and bring him to my aunt and uncle in Newport Beach, California. They are probably expecting his arrival. Their names are Jimmy and Julie Cooper. Please. They are on my mother's will and she loved them more than anything, including us. Don't forget what I taught you about everything and not just math. Please make sure Sim is safe.
Goodbye Ryan,
Alec Cooper
Ryan stared at his mother. "Cooper? His last name is Cooper? Why the hell didn't you tell me this before? You knew that I am dating Marissa, HIS COUSIN. Oh God. I have to find him, for Alec and his parents."
Ryan got up. "Hey wait up!" Seth called after him. "Let's go." Seth could tell that Ryan was angry, so he followed.
When they were in the car, Seth spoke up. "What happened?" Ryan looked at him. "Remember I told you about Alec? Well he murdered himself. He wasn't shot by a stranger, and he killed his parents. He left he a note that Dawn just gave me. Stupid bitch." Seth looked at him. "What did it say?" Seth thought that was a mistake, but Ryan answered. "The note said to take his brother, Sim, to his aunt and uncle who live here in Newport." "Do we know who they are?" Ryan closed his eyes. "The Coopers." Seth stopped the car. "What are you going to do? You have to tell them." Seth was in shock that the Coopers had a nephew and that Alec wanted his brother to be with them. "We're going to call Julie, tell her we have important news regarding family, tell her to bring Caitlin, and to go to Jimmy's apartment. We're going to call Jimmy and tell them that they are coming over." Ryan had it all planned out, but he didn't know how to tell them about their nephew.
After he finished making the calls, he didn't know what to do. He was in another place, when he saw a young kid on the street. "STOP!!" Seth braked really quick and Ryan and hopped out of the car. He went over to the kid, and met his height. "Hello Sim. Remember me? I'm Ryan," Ryan look at the kid. Sim looked up at him. Ryan saw an exact clone of Alec. "R-Ryan? Is that y-you?" Sim was terrified. "Come on. We're going to take you to see your aunt Julie and uncle Jimmy." Sim smiled the biggest smile Ryan ever saw anyone do, except Alec of course. Ryan smiled himself. He was going to do something good. He was going to reunite his best friend's brother with his family.
