"Your wife?" Curtis asked looking at Nathan
"Yes, my wife. Didn't you realize that the car you hit was occupied by a woman and a baby still in a carrier?" Nathan asked his anger growing
"Curtis, did you hit someone that night?" Georgia asked looking her brother
"I…I…"
"Curtis answer me!" Georgia said with the tone of an older sister
Curtis looked at his sister apologetically, "Yes, we hit someone that night. It was a blue Honda Accord"
"You Jerk" Nathan said ready to beat the man into a coma
Lucas jumped and grabbed his brother before he could move an inch "Let's go inside Nathan"
Lucas led Nathan inside the back patio door and closed the door firmly
"Lucas, what the heck are you doing? That jerk killed Bevin and Michael" Nathan anger now in full swing
Lucas didn't answered his brother as he pulled out his cell phone and started dialing
Jake answered on the second ring, "Hey Luke"
"Jake, I need you to call Charlotte PD and get them over here"
"Luke, what's wrong?" The question had all of their friends turning to look at Jake
"We found the guy who killed Bev and Michael. It is Georgia's brother. He is here and he just told us that he hit someone the night that they were killed in Wilmington"
"Are you sure it was him?"
"He hit a blue Honda Accord"
"Okay, I will call. His name is Curtis Miller, Right?"
"How did you know? Nevermind… Peyton"
"Yea"
"Mom has the address where we are"
"Okay. Keep him there if you can" Jake said before hanging up and walking into the kitchen
"Karen, I need the address where Luke and Nate are" Jake said walking over to Karen who was standing at the stove
"It is on the counter. What is going on?"
"I will explain later," Jake said picking up the piece of notebook paper from the counter and walking towards the foyer
"Jake?" Peyton asked questionablyJake held up his index finger on his right hand as he dialed a number on his cell phone
The phone on the other end was answered, "Tree Hill Police Department, Officer Mitchell. How may I help you?"
"Joe, it is Jake"
"Hey Man"
"Hey, can you get me the number or transfer me to the Charlotte PD?"
"Is everything okay?" Joe Mitchell asked
"No"
"Hold on one second, Jake. Let me look up the number" Jake's ear was filled with hold music
"Jake, what is going on?" Peyton asked
"I am alerting the Charlotte PD."
"Of what?" Peyton asked
"Jake?" Joe came back on the line before Jake could reply
"Yea, Joe"
"Okay I am going to transfer you to the Charlotte PD"
"Thanks, Joe. I appreciate it"
"Good luck" Joe said as a clicking noise came on the line followed by ringing
"Charlotte Police Department. Officer Newark speaking. How can I help you?"
"My name is Officer Jake Jagleski with the Tree Hill Police Department. Badge number 5863. I think there may be a situation going on in your district"
"Ok, Officer Jagleski. What kind of situation?"
"There is a suspect in your district, who committed a hit and run five years ago in Wilmington"
"Do you know the person name?" Officer Newark asked slowly
"Curtis Miller"
"Are you sure that he committed this crime?"
"He just confessed to two of my friends at his sister's house" Jake said becoming irritated
"Do you have that address?"
"Yes" Jake replied as he read off the address to the officer from the paper in his right hand
"We will send a unit over right away. What are you friends names?"
"Lucas and Nathan Scott""Okay"
"Thank you" Jake said before hanging up the phone and immediately dialing Luke's number
"Jake?" Lucas answered
"They are on their way"
"Thanks Man" Lucas said as he hung up
Nathan stood by the patio door looking out the man who had taken his wife and son away from him. Curtis Miller sat with his head in his hands silent. Nobody had said a word.
Lucas walked over to where his brother was standing and said, "Jake said they are on their way"
Nathan was silent as he continued to stare out the glass door
"Jake, what is going on?" Peyton asked again as he rejoined the group in the living room. Their parents were also there
"Nathan and Lucas found the man who killed Bevin and Michael" He answered and was met by a large gasp, "It is Curtis Miller"
"Who is Curtis Miller?" Anna asked
"Georgia's brother" Peyton answered, "We have been doing some research this morning"
"He told them that he hit blue Honda Accord in Wilmington the night that they were killed. I called Charlotte PD and they have unit going over to the house. He is there"
"Is Nathan alright?" Karen asked as Skills put his left arm around the woman who was like a mother to them all
"Lucas didn't say" Jake replied as he looked at the mother worried about her son
After a few moments, Lucas and Nathan heard police sirens. They watched as Curtis lifted his head and looked towards the two through the glass door. He knew he had been caught
The Officers came around the side of the house and approached the patio as Lucas and Nathan stepped out of the house.
"Lucas and Nathan Scott?" One of the two male officers asked
"I am Lucas" Lucas answered
"We got a call from an officer with the Tree Hill Police Department telling us that you had information on the whereabouts of a suspect in a hit and run in Wilmington"
"Yes, that is right"
"Who is the suspect?" The other officer asked
"I am" Curtis answered standing up, "But I am not a suspect, I did it"
Nathan turned to look into the eyes of the man and willed him to tell him what had happened that night
"I am confessing to the crime," Curtis added
"We are going to need you to come with us sir. We can get your statement at the station"
"No, I need to say it here. They need to hear it" Curtis said as he indicated Lucas and Nathan
No one said anything else as Curtis looked towards Nathan; "I was drunk. Dan and I had been out drinking at the local bar and it was about midnight when we stumbled out. I couldn't remember where I had parked the car. So, I found a car close to the entrance of the bar, broke in to it and hot-wired it. Dan got in the passenger side. I started driving in the direction that I thought our hotel was. We were laughing and talking about some hot chick that had been at the bar that night. I was not paying attention to the road. I heard the horn of another car and looked towards the front of the car to find two headlights beaming back at me. I was so drunk that I didn't have time to react and we slammed into the other car doing well over 50 miles an hour. I crawled out of the driver side of the car and started backing away from the car. I could see the driver in the blue Honda Accord that I had just plowed into. It was a woman, who looked very young. There was baby carrier facing backwards in the middle of the backseat and there was no noise coming from the car. I grabbed Dan who had stumbled from the car and started walking the other direction. I know that I should have stayed there and at least tried to help the woman and the baby, but I wasn't thinking straight" Curtis stopped there, "I am sorry. I am so sorry"
Nathan continued to stare at him as he began to speak, "You are sorry? SORRY! That was my wife and my son in that car. You took something very precious to me and I am suppose to forgive you because you said you are sorry. Go to Hell" Nathan said as he turned away from the man
The one of the two officers came forward and asked Curtis to put his hands behind his back. The officer handcuffed him and read him his rights before leading him away towards the patrol car that was sitting out front
The other officer walked towards Lucas and Nathan, "Mr. Scott, Can I talk to you?" He asked softly looking at Nathan.
"Ask him any questions that you have" Nathan said pointing to Lucas before turning and walking into the house
"I am his brother" Lucas told the officer
"I need the name of his wife. So that we can call Wilmington about the accident" The officer said pulling out a notepad from his back right pocket of his pants and unhooking a pen attached to the front of his uniform
"Bevin Scott" Lucas answered
"What is the date of the accident?"
"October 19th"
"Are the two of you local?"
"No, we will be returning to Tree Hill. We will be there for the rest of the week"
"Is there a number where we can reach you?"
Lucas gave the officer his cell phone, telling him that it was probably best to call him instead of Nathan.
The officer thanked Lucas for the information before walking away.
Lucas turned back towards the other three who had been quiet the entire time
"I am sorry," Lucas said as he looked at Georgia
"There is nothing to be sorry about, Lucas. Curtis knew what he was doing. He needs to pay for his crime" Georgia said as she walked past Lucas squeezing his shoulder. She turned and looked back at her children, "I am going for a drive. I will be back in a little while"
Sam and Chris watched as their mother walked into the house to retrieve her keys. A few seconds later, they heard her Pickup truck start and the music blaring the last line of an old Kenny Chesney song.
"We'll see them again one day"
AN/ Review. Song Lyric from Kenny's Chesney latest album 'The road and the radio', I don't own that either.
