Haley held her son and held Nathan's hand. "Hey baby. Keith's out of surgery. He's right here with me. We're just waiting for you to open your eyes and come back to us." She turned Keith gently so he could see Nathan.

"Da-da," Keith said.

Nathan's hand twitched in hers, "come on Nathan wake up," she said. Nothing more happened. Keith rested his head back on Haley's shoulder. She put him in his crib then went for Lucas.

"Hey," she said as she approached him in the hallway.

"Hey yourself," Lucas said, "did you actually leave your son in there alone?"

"He's not alone," Haley said, "he's with his father."

"True," Lucas said.

"So what did you need to tell me," Haley asked.

"Well a police officer stopped by before you and Keith came in. Supposedly they picked up two men in a warehouse on the docks. They think these men had kidnapped Nathan and they want to question him."

"You know he does have bandages on his wrists, maybe from being tied up or something," Haley said. "But who would want to kidnap him?"

"The only person I can think of is Bear," Lucas answered. "When I told Skills that I didn't think Nathan just ran off and maybe something else had happened he thought of Bear. He mentioned the time he told me that the men Nathan was talking to weren't good men. He also said he wouldn't be surprised if Bear was back to get revenge for Daunte or to collect on their debt."

"You really think he's back," she asked.

"I don't know it could just be a complete stranger who saw the tabloids and wants money, but that's kind of a stretch," he said. "Let's just hope he wakes up soon and answers our questions."


Brooke was sitting talking to Tim who had woken from his rest. Peyton entered the room, "hey guys. Tim how ya feeling," she asked.

"Pretty good actually," he answered.

"Been a long day huh," Peyton asked.

"Sure was," Brooke answered. "I'm kind of glad Haley told people not to hang out during the surgery. I think if everyone was here it just would have been hectic."

"I dunno I think we all just sat at home by the phone waiting for a call," Peyton said. "Now we're all coming to visit before visiting hours are over."

"Have you seen Keith yet? Or Nathan for that matter," Brooke asked.

"Wait Nathan's back," Peyton asked in response.

"Yeah Lucas didn't tell you?"

"No he didn't call because he knew you were calling me," Peyton said. "So where was he? What happened?"

"We still don't really know. He was pretty banged up and the police think he was kidnapped. They even have suspects in custody. They're just waiting on Nathan to wake up so they can talk to him."

"Wow, how's Haley," Peyton asked.

"I don't really know I was only down there for a little while earlier while Tim was sleeping and she seemed alright," Brooke answered.

"Yeah well I'd like to go down and check on everyone myself," Tim said, "but she won't let me."

"No, not tonight," Brooke said. "Tomorrow I promise."

"Well maybe I'll go down and check in," Peyton said.

"Call down first things might be crazy with Nathan being back in all," Brooke said, "Haley might just want to be alone."

Peyton picked up the phone and dialed the room number Brooke told her. "Hey Lucas," she said when he answered the phone. "How is everyone?"

"Yeah that's to be expected," she said when he answered her. "Hey listen I'm upstairs visiting Tim and thought maybe I could stop down on my way out. Brooke thought I should call ahead first."

"Yeah, ok I understand," she said when he answered, "I'll just stop by tomorrow then. Just let Haley know I called. Thanks," Peyton said and hung up. "Looks like I'm hanging with you guys a little longer if you don't mind?"


Keith slept and Haley held vigil by Nathan with Lucas keeping watch over the room. Earlier he had made all the necessary phone calls to friends and family.

Deb came bursting into the room. "Lucas I just got your message. I knew Keith was in surgery and I was expecting a call about that but… Oh Nathan," she said as she walked over to his bed and stood next to Haley.

Haley stood to give Deb her seat and Nathan's hand. Deb sat and Haley began to walk away. Deb grabbed her hand, "don't go far he needs you."

"I know," Haley nodded, "you check on your son while I check on mine."

Haley stood over Keith stroking his hair as he slept. She felt someone's presence behind her and turned around to face her mother. Lydia stepped up and hugged her child, "it's going to be ok Haley-bub both your men are safe now."

"I'm sorry mom I would have called and told you what was going on but everything happened so fast and the doctor didn't think we should wait once we knew Tim was a match."

"It's ok baby. You've got a good brother-in-law, good best friend," Lydia said nodding at Lucas who was talking to Jim, "he called and filled us in on everything both last night and then today."

Haley sighed, "so I guess you'll be leaving after this?"

"Unless you want us to stay," Lydia asked back in response.

"No I guess there really is no reason. Things should get better and I have my friends and Deb and Karen," Haley answered. "I'll miss you though."

"And we'll miss you," Lydia said hugging her again.


"Alright guys I'm gonna head out," Peyton said.

"Ok P, stop by here tomorrow before you visit downstairs and we can all go down together as long as the family has cleared out," Brooke said.

"Ok, night Tim."

"Goodnight," he said back and Peyton left.

Peyton started to go home but decided to stop at the café on her way. She had seen a lot of Karen lately and was enjoying her company. She figured she could help her close up.

"Hey," she said to Karen behind the bar as she walked up.

"Hey where ya coming from," Karen asked.

"The hospital," Peyton answered.

"How is everyone? I was going to go and have someone close but I called Lucas and he said Haley's parents and Deb were there."

"Yeah I didn't visit either because everyone was there but Lucas said everything was ok. I saw Tim and Brooke. He's doing well. His main concern is checking on everyone else but Brooke won't let him yet," Peyton laughed.

"That's probably for the best," Karen said.

Just then Mouth, Skills, Fergie, Junk, and Rachel walked in. "Hey Ms. Roe want some company closing up," Skills asked.

"Sure guys come on in," Karen said coming from behind the counter to lock the door.

"The river court's just not the same when some friends are missing," Mouth said.

"Yeah we wanted to visit people at the hospital after Luke called but he told us all to hang on until tomorrow," Fergie said.

"So we figured we'd come hold vigil here like the night we found out about Keith," Rachel said.

"Sounds good," Karen said with a smile.

"Yeah," Peyton agreed.
