The Scott Home
Once the police were called. And came to the house. Lucas called his informed them of what was going on. The friend group headed straight over. Keeping the news of Nixon's being Nixon between them.
"We have a recent photo of you're son. A description of what he was wearing from you're daughter." One officer said.
"We ran Richard's name through our system. And reached out to his parents. According to what they told us. Richard is broke. They cut off all access to his money and resources once they found out he was engaging in criminal activity and had went back into drugs."
"They cut off all contact with him a year ago. The money were given by him isn't clean and given the fact that he knows you weren't going to let Nixon go."
"I imagine he wants to punish you for it. And use Nixon as an example." The other officer explained.
Lucas couldn't process any of this information.
"Do whatever it takes to bring my son back please." Lucas pleaded.
"We have officers on alert looking for the car and for a boy matching Nixon's description."
"He's desperate. Spiraling. And has no resources. He's gonna make stops and call people for help."
"We will do everything in our power to bring him home to you. We advise you and loved ones to stick by the phone." The officer announced.
"I can't just sit here and do nothing." Lucas said. Looking to Brooke.
"You've done all you can. You have to release some control and let the officers do their jobs. He's coming home. Everything is gong to work out. You have to stay positive."
"I'll go check on Lilly." Brooke said. Leaving the living room as the friend group swooped in to help. Uplift and support Lucas.
She felt blessed and fortunate to call them her friends as well.
...
Brooke went straight up the stairs and into the hallway. As she made her way towards Lilly's bedroom. She was stopped by the echo of Lilly's sobs.
The expression on her face softened. As she entered the bedroom and closed the behind herself.
At the sound of footsteps coming towards her. Lilly pulled her face out of one of the pillows and looked up.
"This is all my fault! I shouldn't of let him go with Richard. But i was angry at him for choosing Richard over our dad!"
"I told him to go and not come back. That i hated him. Since he wanted to live with Richard so badly."
"I didn't mean it." Lilly exclaimed. With emotion thick in her voice.
"Lil come here." Brooke said. Engulfing the girl in a hug.
Lilly clung to her as she cried. When she was able to compose herself. She wiped her eyes and gazed up at Brooke.
Apologizing for wetting her shirt.
"Listen to me. Siblings. Family. Friends."
"Fighting or not agreeing with people we love happens."
"We talk things out and forgive. Then move on. You and Nixon will have the chance to fix things." Brooke reassured her.
...
When Nixon awoke he was alone in the car. In front of a house he didn't recognize.
He attempted to open the passenger side door to leave but it was locked.
It was then that he started to scream for help.
"You get the car and the kid." Richard explained to the drug dealer.
