"Hey Luke, man are you okay?" Nathan shot a quick glance at Dan before he devoted all of his attention to Lucas. Dan walked away, only to be confronted by an officer.

"Yeah man. Peyton got shot in the leg, but they said she's gonna be okay. Brooke went in the ambulance with her. My mom went with Keith. Dude what the hell happened in there?" Lucas was relieved to see Nathan. They had their problems now and then, but he loved his little brother.

"I don't know man. I found Haley in the tutoring center just like I knew I would, but Edwards was in there and he held us hostage. It seemed like he was about to give up but then he heard doors slam…"

"Damn. That was me. I was trying to carry Peyton out." Lucas felt guilty. He had put everyone in danger when they were almost safe, but he had to help Peyton.

"Yeah well you pissed him off so he went to shoot whoever was in the hallway." Nathan spoke slowly, not for lack of remembrance, but because he found it hard to relive everything.

"I guess that's how he found us in the hall then. I didn't know what I was going to do man 'cause he held Peyton and me at gunpoint, but then Keith walked in. He stood in front of me until I could get out."

"Well I don't know what happened after that but when I got out in the hallway, Keith and Jimmy were on the floor and Dan was standing there with the gun." Nathan glanced over to where his father was. He was still talking to the officer.

"Wait, are you saying Dan shot them?" Lucas couldn't believe it. Dan was evil, but would he really shoot two people?

"No I'm pretty sure Edwards took his own life, but Keith…let's just say I don't think Edwards shot him." Nathan saw the officer take out his cuffs and place them around Dan's wrists. The brothers over heard the officer telling another he was taking Dan in; he had just admitted to shooting his brother.

The brothers looked at each other in disbelieve.

"There's our answer I guess."
