Kaitlin and Bradin ran up to Tanner's house and pounded on the door. Lucas answered it.
"Bradin!" he yelled, "Where have you been?"
"Where's Tanner?" Bradin asked.
"I don't know," Lucas said, "He and I made a deal to stay out of each other's business and the other won't get hurt. Kaitlin!"
"How could you not know where your own brother is?" Kaitlin screamed, "He has my son with him and is going to kill him!"
"Your son? Why would he have your son? You're a mother?" Lucas asked.
"This is no help," Kaitlin said turning and walking away followed by Bradin. Kaitlin walked up to the police car and pounded her fist on the top. "Fuck!" she yelled. She stood there trying to figure out everything that was going on.
"Do you know where else he might be?" one of the cops asked her.
Kaitlin stood there leaning on the car thinking. She felt an arm wrap around her shoulders. She looked next to her at Bradin and back at her hands. She rested her head on her arms and began to cry. She was lost and confused at this point. She knew that she wasn't going to see Ethan alive again, especially when Tanner is the person who has him. She tried to think of places where he could be.
"Anyone have a jet ski?" she asked.
Bradin looked at the cops who nodded and back at Kaitlin.
The cops drove the teenagers to a dock where there were jet skis. Kaitlin turned to them. "I'm going to go on a beach that is on the other side of that cliff," she said pointing to a cliff a mile away, "You three should get back up and meet me there after I've been gone for a few minutes."
"You shouldn't be going there alone," a cop said. Then, he pointed to Bradin and said, "Have him go with you."
"No," she said, "I don't want him getting hurt again."
"It'll be worth it," Bradin said looking at her, "Let me go with you. Please."
"I don't want you killed," she said through her teeth.
"I don't want you injured," he said.
"Do what I said. Meet me over there," she said as she headed to a jet ski, "And, I know that you're only doing this because you feel sorry for me."
Bradin watched as she rode off on the jet ski. "I'm doing this because I love you and want you happy," he said out loud.
"Follow her," a cop demanded, "Get on a jet ski and follow her."
Bradin did as the cop said. He wasn't going to lose Kaitlin again. He hopped onto a jet ski and went after Kaitlin.
