"Hey," Lucas said as he walked up next to Haley who was staring out the window. "Are you ok?"

"Not sure," she whispered still staring out the window. "I mean I'm relieved that we have a donor and Keith should be ok but now all I can think is, where is Nathan?"

"I know what you mean," Lucas said.

"I'm really worried about him now," Haley said. "He didn't run off right? I mean these last two months I didn't just imagine that right? Things were good. We were a family. He wouldn't leave," Haley said.

"You didn't imagine that. No he wouldn't leave," Lucas answered. "He's wanted you back since you left now that he has that he wouldn't leave. He really was happier these last two months than I've seen him in the last two years."

"He'll be ok right," Haley asked.

"I hope so. The police are looking for him," Lucas said, "let's focus on Keith until after tomorrow then we'll focus on Nathan."

Brooke turned the key and walked into Haley's house, "I'm glad I'm not alone in this big house tonight," she said to Tim.

"You should have asked me to come home sooner," he said.

"Well I wanted to make sure you had school all set. If I had known things were going to play out this way I would have," she said.

"Well don't worry about the school stuff," he said, "things will work out especially if Haley insists on helping out."

"I am so proud of you. Do you know that," she asked hugging him. "You're amazing," she said as she kissed him.

"I love you," he said.

"Well I missed you," she said kissing him again and pulling him toward the bedroom.

"What's this," he asked.

"You being all mature and selfless, is a turn on," she said.

"Oh," he said as she pushed him on the bed.

"Yeah, and I told you I'd let you know when you were ready," she said straddling him, untucking his shirt and undoing his belt.

Tim lay in bed holding a sleeping Brooke. He had done this plenty of times before but this time it was different. This time as he watched her sleep he was happier than he ever thought possible. The night before they had been intimate. Together they were amazing but Tim knew that it would be a while before they would be like that again.

It was almost time for Tim to be at the hospital. Brooke wrestled a little in her sleep then woke up.

"Hey," she said looking up at him.

"Hey yourself," he said kissing her forehead. "Thanks for last night."

"Actually thank you," she said winking, "are you sure you've never done that before? You were amazing."

"We were amazing," he said.

"So wanna do it again," she asked raising her eyebrows.

Tim looked at the clock, "unfortunately we can't because I have to be at the hospital."

"Ugh," Brooke sighed flopping on her back on the other side of the bed. "Well at least little Keith should be better after today." She got up and headed into the bathroom.

"Wake up superstar," a deep voice said as a forearm connected with Nathan's face. Nathan opened his eyes and saw two of Bear's goons. He quickly glanced around careful not to bring attention to himself. There were only the two men and himself in the warehouse.

"Did you pull the van around," the man closest to Nathan asked the other.

"Yeah it's right outside," the other man answered.

The man closest to Nathan untied his legs. Nathan had noticed that he wasn't armed, neither was the other. As the man began untying his hands Nathan made his move. He stood up quickly giving his wrist rope burn as they loosened. He threw his shoulder into the man knocking him off balance and completely freeing his hands. He ran for the door but before he could get there he felt the other man jump on his back. Nathan lost his balance and fell smashing his head on a crate. Everything went black but he didn't lose consciousness. As he got back to his feet his vision cleared. He was dizzy but noticed he was facing the opposite direction of the door. The man who untied him was charging at him and tackled him. Nathan's body hit the cement floor hard. The man punched him in the face twice and Nathan tried to squirm from under him but he couldn't. On the next blow to the face Nathan pretended to go unconscious letting his body go limp. The man stood up and looked down at him. He could feel his presence over him so he didn't move. The man kicked him hard in the ribs. Nathan heard them crack and felt excruciating pain but he didn't move he didn't even make a face. He heard the man's footsteps and slowly turned his head in their direction and opened his eyes. He was walking toward the chair for the ropes. Nathan turned his head in the other direction to see the man who had jumped on his back lying unconscious. He slowly rolled over and noticed a pool of blood where his head had been. He noticed he was about ten feet from the door and although he could barely breathe he decided to go for it. He stood up and ran bursting through the door and out into the fresh morning. He ran around the corner and past the next two buildings when he got to the third he opened the door and shut it behind him. He looked around and noticed it was another abandoned building, "dammit," he said aloud still trying to catch his breath which hurt his ribs with each try. The only windows in the place were about a foot from the ceiling. Nathan looked up and noticed this. He knew this warehouse it was the one closest to the road. Dragging himself against the wall he crossed the building to the back door. He cracked it a little and looked out there was no sign of Bear's men. There weren't many people on the road but there were enough that Nathan thought he could make it to the hospital with out trouble. The most important thing on his mind was getting to his family.
