Hi there! So I keep having short submissions because I am not too sure what the fate will be for Lucas. I kind of want him to end up getting shot but I cannot figure out how. Any suggestions? Anywhoo...heres this, I guess chapter, I am not to sure about it yet...
Keith could barely take it anymore. He held both Karen and Brooke in his arms as they waited to see their beloved Lucas emerge somewhere, anywhere. Keith had been flirting with the idea of going into the school and finding his neph-son himself. What if the boy was really hurt somewhere and all he did was to be a crying shoulder for the two women?
Keith saw his little hot shot brother talking to the town's detective. He pulled Karen in to kiss her on the forehead. "I'll be right back."
Karen nodded as she let go of Keith and wrapped her arms around Brooke. Brooke's trembling body needed comfort as much as she did. Karen watched the love of her life head over to her son's biological father.
Keith had hoped the horrible events taking place would allow Dan Scott to push past his arrogance and allow to the two to talk about what was happening. He stopped next to his little brother waiting for him to finish talking to the detective about what moves the police should make. Once they were finished, Dan spoke without even looking at Keith;
"Can I help you?"
Ignoring the attitude in his voice, Keith asked. "Do we know who did this, Dan?"
"Some monster named Jimmy Edwards." Dan reported unemotionally.
Keith could not believe it. Jimmy Edwards was a good kid, he wasn't capable of going into a school with a gun, was he? Keith took Lucas and him on several occasions fishing when they were kids. They loved it. Jimmy was quiet around everyone else but when he was with Lucas, the boy would and could talk for hours.
"I know him, he's a good kid."
Dan looked at his older brother, "Your definition of 'good' kid must be messed up then."
Keith really had no desire to bicker with his brother knowing it would be truly pointless. He had one main desire and that was to find out where his son was. "Do you know how many kids are inside still?"
"My son is in there somewhere. If that monster touches Nathan, I will make sure he serves time in hell." Dan spoke with gritted teeth.
Keith noticed how Dan only cared to mention one of his sons. The other son held no value to him whatsoever. Keith had been apart of Lucas's life as Dan neglected him over and over again. Sometimes the only attention Dan would give his oldest son was just harassment and badgering about stupid stuff. It took everything not to destroy Dan for hurting such a great young man.
Keith tried to swallow his anger towards his younger ignorant brother and pay attention to the problem at hand, his son and even nephew were in a school where a young man was holding a gun and shooting it.
"Dan, why don't you let me go in there and talk to Jimmy?" Keith suggested.
He was not all too sure, what he could say to the boy. Keith had a lot of the same problems growing up as Jimmy had faced. Maybe talking about how he knew the pain the boy was going through and he pushed through some way some how and it proved worth it.
"If that is what you want to do, go ahead." Dan responded unemotionally as he turned his head towards the detective who was about to ask him something.
Keith took a deep breath and headed over to the most beautiful woman alive. He grabbed her hands inside of his. He made sure to look into her brilliant olive green eyes just in case he would never see them again. "I'm going into the school…"
"No," Karen interrupted fearfully. "you can't. I already have one person in there I love, I can't have two."
Keith took a deep breath and tightened his grip on her, "I will be right back. Next time you see me, I will be coming out with our son."
