Lucas woke to Haley holding Keith and pacing the room. "Did you sleep?" She just laughed at him. "Yeah should have figured that." He got up and walked over to Haley, "hand over the child." She gave Keith to Lucas and he put him in his crib.

"Lucas it's almost time for the surgery."

"Hales, I don't think that's happening today," Lucas said regretfully.

"Has your family been tested?"

"My parents want to be but I told them not to rush back here," she answered, "as far as my brothers and sisters are concerned I don't even know if they know."

"Did Nate get a hold of May and Royal?"

"I don't know," she answered.

"Alright then I guess I have some calls to make," Lucas said. "Peyton's coming by to keep you company, Brooke's picking up Tim, and I think my mom is going to stop by. I'm gonna call Mouth and have the boys comb the town."

"Ok," she sighed.

"Try and rest," he said forcing her over to the cot. She reluctantly laid down. Lucas pulled the blanket over her and she instantly passed out.

There was a knock at the door and the doctor came in, "good morning Lucas."

"Good morning doctor," Lucas said, "she's exhausted, just fell asleep actually."

"Ok then I won't wake her. I'm sorry about Nathan, Lucas. Have you contacted the rest of the family to be tested," the doctor asked.

"No, I was going to try and do that now," he answered.

"Ok, well Keith is on the national list but who knows how long that could take. I would assume a few weeks at the very least but probably longer. Let's hope we find another match or that Nathan turns up."

"Yeah well I better get calling people then. Was that all you came in for?"

"Actually no, I've officially cancelled today's procedure. Even if Nathan showed up who knows what condition he'd be in and there are many reasons we might not be able to proceed. If it's just that he was scared and left I think maybe he should talk to someone before we move forward and if it was another reason, well let's hope he's ok."

"Thanks doc," Lucas said, "I'll let you know what I come up with."

The doctor left and Lucas pulled a chair up to the bedside table. He pulled out a piece of scratch paper and pen and picked up Haley's contact book. He looked up her parents and dialed the number.

"Hello."

"Hi, Mrs. James its Lucas."

"Lucas is everything ok," Lydia asked. "When we last talked to Haley they were still waiting on test results for you, Nate, and one of your friends," she said.

"Yeah well I'm not a match and neither was our friend, but Nate was," he said.

"Was, what do you mean was," she asked.

"When Nathan found out he was a match he went for a walk and he hasn't come back. He's missing," Lucas said.

"Oh God! How's Haley?"

"She's a wreck that's why I'm calling. We need to keep looking for a match because we'll probably need it," Lucas said.

"Well we didn't listen to Haley and we've been driving straight through. We're almost there, about an hour out," she said.

"Ok, well what about the rest of the family? They don't have to come here to be tested just have the results faxed here," he said.

"I'll try and get in touch with everyone see what they say," she said.

"Ok great I'll see you when you get here," Lucas said.

"Ok bye," Lydia said.

Lucas hung up. He sat there and stared at the phone for a moment. He was dreading the next call. Dan's parents, his grandparents were the next call. He knew of them, saw pictures, and even saw them when Dan went to jail but they never attempted to have a relationship with him or him with them. Haley had told him once that she thought Royal checked up on him because he had asked about him at the café once but after that as far as Lucas knew if never happened again.

He picked up the phone and dialed.

"Hello."

"Hello, Mrs. Scott," he didn't want to say Dan's son or Keith's nephew so he tried, "Karen's son."

"Right, oh darling how are you," she said sounding excited.

"Well actually I'm not calling for myself," he said, "I'm calling on behalf of Nathan and Haley." He explained the situation to her.

"Oh my I hope Nathan is alright. Royal and I will be tested right away. Thank you for calling," May said.

"No problem," Lucas said.

"Hey Lucas," she said. "I know this is long over due but I would really like to meet you sometime."

"I don't think this is the right time," Lucas said not sure how to respond.

"Yeah you're right," she said.

Lucas could hear the disappointment in her voice, "you know what I'll be in touch."

"Ok," she said sounding excited again.

"Ok well I have to go," Lucas said.

"Alright I'll have our results faxed over to your hospital," she said, "take care Lucas."

Nathan woke up with an aching headache. He was gagged, his hands tied behind his back to the chair and his legs tied to it as well. He blinked a few times trying to focus his eyes. He had no idea where he was or who the man standing in front of him smirking was. He also had no idea how long he had been unconscious. The image of his wife and son flashed in his head and he frantically tried to break free of the ties and tried to yell.

A man walked from behind him. He kept his back to Nathan as he continued to squirm. Even from the back this man seemed eerily familiar.

"Calm down superstar the ties are tight and no one can hear you," the man said as he turned around.
