Chapter 2
The quiet apartment
turned into a local hot spot as police crowded the building along
with curious faces and devastated friends. Lights were blinking
everywhere, blinding everyone in sight. People stared at the
apartment as if it was some sort of extraterrestrial. Nobody knew
what to think, nothing like this had happened in Tree Hill
before.
Police questioned Lucas and Nathan, getting every aspect
of what Brooke and Haley had been doing and if they had gone
anywhere. The only thing was, they didn't know if they went
anywhere, how could they have known? They were playing in a
basketball game.
Nathan was going off on every police officer, he
was clearly upset by all that had happened, and had walked away from
one officer just to be alone.
Lucas followed him, sitting down
next to him, trying to comfort him.
"It's going to be okay
Nate…we'll find them, don't worry." Lucas said quietly,
looking at Nathan and then to the blinking lights of police cars.
Nathan just
sighed.
"It's not okay Lucas. Haley could be anywhere, she
could get killed! How can you tell me this is okay?" He replied
stubbornly, looking down to the ground before a familiar face came
running to them.
"Oh my god Lucas," Peyton said, running
towards him as he stood up. She fell onto him as he wrapped him arms
around her. "I came as fast as I could after I got your message…we
should have nev- are they going to fin-" Peyton stopped as she
looked towards Nathan. She sat next to him and wrapped her arm around
him. "It's going to be okay Nate, they'll find her…don't
worry." She said.
"Whatever." He said
before shaking her off and standing up. Nathan stuck his hands in his
pockets and looked back up at the apartment.
Peyton looked towards
him sadly, and then turned to Lucas.
"He's just upset right
now, Peyton."
"I know." She said. "What did that text
message say anyway?"
Lucas' expression turned into fear, as
he flipped open his phone and showed her the message.
Nathan
walked up the stairs of the apartment building slowly. When he
reached the second level, he looked towards his own apartment door.
It was covered with 'caution' tape, indicating it was a crime
scene. He sighed and stepped over it, as a police officer stopped
him.
"Sir, you cannot come any further."
"I live here."
He answered sternly.
"I'm sorry sir." The officer shook his
head.
"Whateve-" He then stopped as he saw a small object on
the floor near the door.
"T-That's…" Nathan stuttered,
pointing to the object.
"We cannot let you have anything from
this area."
"But it's my wife's-" He argued.
"I'm
sorry sir, now please head back downstairs before I have to get
security to help you there."
He scoffed and walked back down the
madness below.
His father had arrived now, and Nathan simply ignored him. He didn't want to talk to anyone. He was sick of people saying it was going to be okay. Nothing would be okay with Haley missing.
Lucas was staring into space before Nathan walked up and tapped him on the shoulder.
"How are you man?"
Nathan asked, sticking his hands in his pockets. It was a nervous
habit.
"Not too good, not too good." Lucas answered, looking
towards Haley's parents.
"Yeah, I want to talk to them, I just
don't know what to say…" Nathan said, seeing where Lucas had
been looking.
"Yeah, me
neither…"
"So I went back up there, and they wouldn't let
me in…but I saw Haleys-" Before Nathan could finish an officer
walked up to the two.
"I think we have a lead on the case."
