Summary- Nathan ran away from home 13 years ago when he was just 14 years old, he left behind his little brother Lucas who was just 4 years old. Now he's back can he fix his relationship with his brother. Deb and Keith are the parents of Lucas and Nathan, Karen and Dan are their aunt and uncle. They live in Tennessee but will move to Tree Hill.
14 year old Nathan Scott came home from school at 5.00pm after basketball practice and went looking for Lucas when he heard him scream. He followed the sound until he reached the bathroom and saw his mom and dad with his little brother in the bath. ''What the hell is going on.'' He screamed
''Nathan its cold.'' Lucas said shivering as he sat in the ice cold water.
''Shut up.'' Keith said to Lucas. ''What did you just say to me boy.'' He then asked Nathan.
''What are you doing he's freezing.'' Nathan said. Deb and Keith just walked out of the bathroom so Nathan went over to Lucas and got Lucas out of the bath and wrapped a towel around him. ''Let's get you warmed up and put into some warm dry clothes.'' Nathan said as he carried Lucas to their bedroom. He put him on the mattress that was on the floor.
''Nathan where's Aaron gone.'' Lucas asked as Nathan helped him to get dressed.
''He just had to go somewhere. Do you remember what we have been talking about.'' Nathan asked Lucas. When Lucas nodded Nathan continued. ''Well I have to go tonight, I want you to where this St Christopher Pendant, and when you get lonely you can look at it and remember me.'' Nathan then put the pendant around Lucas' neck.
''Can you stay till I go to sleep.'' Lucas asked.
''Yeah. Come on let's lie down.'' Nathan said as they both lied down on the mattress.
''Tell me a story.'' Lucas asked Nathan.
''How about the story of Buzz and Woody.'' Nathan asked when Lucas gave him the okay, Nathan started to tell Lucas the story. Lucas soon fell asleep leaving Nathan to lie there and think about what he was doing. He kissed Lucas on the forehead and left the house by the bedroom window. AS soon as he got far away from the house and found a phone booth he called social services. ''Hello I'm calling about a young boy who I suspect is getting abused.''
''Can you give me the name and address of the boy.'' The woman on the other end asked.
''His name is Lucas Scott. He is 4 years old and he lives in 1236, Tennessee road. (Made up the address). I believe that he has an Uncle that lives in Tree Hill North Carolina.'' Nathan told her.
''We will check up on this report. Do you know the name of the uncle in Tree Hill.'' The woman asked.
''His name is Dan Scott. I don't know his address.'' Nathan said. ''His number is 555-4658.'' He continued.
''Okay thank you for all the information.'' The woman said.
After saying goodbye Nathan hung up then he called 911. ''I want to report a dead body.''
''Where is this body.'' A man asked.
''In the back yard under the tree. The address is 1236, Tennessee road.'' Nathan reported.
''Can I ask who's calling'' The man asked.
''I'm an anonymous caller.'' Nathan said before hanging up and running in the other direction. He didn't know where he was going all he knew was that he had to get away from there if he was to keep Lucas safe.
A few hours later and Lucas was sitting in the back seat of a social workers car. He saw that his mom and dad where in the back seat of a police car. ''Where am I going.'' Lucas asked.
''We don't know yet.'' The lady called Marie said. ''I'm going to call his uncle and see if he can stay there if not he will go into the system.'' She said to the police officer. She then walked away to call Dan. ''Hello can I speak to a Mr. Dan Scott please.'' She said when someone on the other end answered.
''This is he.'' Dan said.
''I'm calling to say that we have your brother Keith Scott in custody along with his wife Deb.'' Marie told him.
''What about the 3 boys. Where are they.'' Dan asked.
''We only have a Lucas Scott with us. I don't know where the other 2 boys are.'' Marie said. ''Would you be willing to take Lucas into your home. If not he will go into the system.'' She continued.
''Of course. My wife and I will care for him. He will be better with us than he will be if he's in care.'' Dan said. He gave the woman his address and they both hung up.
''Dan Scott is going to care for Lucas. Is someone going with me to tell him that his other nephew has been found buried under a tree.'' Marie asked.
The next morning and Lucas was in Tree Hill on his way to his new home. When they got there Marie went up to the door and knocked while Lucas stood beside her. ''Hi I'm Marie for social services in Tennessee, I was looking to speak to Dan Scott. We spoke on the phone yesterday.'' She said when the door opened.
''I'm Karen his wife. Why don't you come in.'' Karen said opening the door and allowing the 3 people outside to come in. ''Dan, the social worker is here.'' She said.
Dan came out of the study and saw Lucas. ''Hello you must be Lucas. I'm Dan.'' Dan said kneeling down to his height.
Lucas just nodded his head and stayed standing beside Marie. ''I'm Marie Mr. Scott we spoke on the phone. I have some bad news concerning one of the other boys.'' Marie said when she saw Lucas didn't want to talk.
''What is the news.'' Dan said.
''A boy named Aaron has been found dead. We have already explained to Lucas.'' Marie said. ''We will leave Lucas in your care as we must be going now. He didn't have much belongings just whatever is in this backpack.'' Marie said before her and the police officer left.
Not long after they left Lucas was getting ready for bed after having a nice warm meal and a bath. Karen tucked him in and kissed his forehead before turning on a nightlight and leaving the room. ''I miss you Nathan.'' Lucas thought before falling asleep.
