Reid and Chris pulled up in front of the Snyder resident's.

"Man he's going to be pissed to see me." Reid said looking down.

Chris smiled and took off his seat belt. "Come on Reid it won't be that bad." He got out of the car.

Reid sighed and followed him to the front door.

Chris knocked on the door and looked over at Reid. "Will you calm down Reid?"

The door opened and Mr. Snyder stepped out. Reid nearly bolted from the door but the situation with Luke made him stay. "Hi Mr. Snyder."

"You have some nerve showing up at my door step Oliver." Holden said.

Reid sighed "Look I know that you're mad but-"

"Mad doesn't even come close to how I feel right now. You know I haven't seen my son in years."

Reid looked down "But I'm here to-"

"I don't care!" Holden shouted. "First you leave my son high and dry and now you come back thinking you can just pick up your old life back. Well it doesn't work like that now get off my doorstep." Holden shut the door in their faces.

"Luke is in trouble and we need your help." Reid yelled out.

The door slowly opened back up. "What are you talking about?"

Luke was sitting on the couch watching TV. Conor wasn't home and he wasn't going to be home for a few hours and he was glad to be rid of him for a while. He looked over at the phone on the table and thought about Reid. He missed Reid and now that he was back he wanted nothing more than to be with him but he was afraid of what Conor would do if he found out.

"So you're saying that is guy that Luke is with has been hitting him?" Holden asked.

Reid nodded "Yeah when I went over there Luke had a bruise under his eye."

"Are you sure that you're not making this up just to break them up so you can be with him." Holden asked.

Reid sighed "You know what forget it." He got up. "I didn't come back here for you to accuse me of things I didn't do. I came back for Luke and when I found out that he was in a relationship I was upset but I didn't do anything until I found out what he was making Luke do. He's been making him drink again and with that Kidney of Luke's it's not going to end well." He turned to Chris "I told you this wouldn't work so I'm going to handle this myself."

Luke was cleaning up the already spotless house for the third time that day. He knew that when Conor got home he would be upset if one thing was out of place. He stopped when there was a knock at his door and slowly walked over to it. Looking through the peephole he sees Reid and a part inside of him was overjoyed. He opened the door. "What are you doing here?"

Reid sighed noticing the bruise that was still in plain sight. "I just came to see how you were and I brought you something."

Luke smiled "What?"

Reid pulled out a rose and held it out to Luke. "This is for you."

Luke took the rose. "And what is it for?"

Reid shrugged "Just to see you smile."

"Thank you." Luke said admiring the rose.

"So are you okay?" Reid asked.

Luke looked up. "Yeah he's not here."

Reid nodded "Do you want to get out of the house for a while?"

Luke shook his head. "I don't think I should and if Conor comes home and I'm not here he's going to kill me."

"He's not going to do anything Luke." Reid said. "Come on I'll take you somewhere I know you love.

Luke smiled at the sight in front of him. "I can't believe that you took me to a park."

Reid walked up next to him. "Awe come on there's no one here and I know that having a little fun will make you feel better."

"But we're two grown me at a little kiddy park." Luke said chuckling.

Reid shrugged "So, come on I'll push you on the swings."

Later on that day Reid brought Luke back home.

"I really had a great time today, thanks Reid." Luke said.

"No problem." Reid looked down "So I want to ask you something."

Reid nodded "Sure"

"Run away with me."

Luke's smiled faded "What?"

"Let's just pack up and runaway together. Away from all this and away from Conor." Reid took Luke's hand. "Let's go right now Luke."

Luke shook his head. "Reid I can't." He pulled out of Reid's grip. "I have to go." He put his keys in the lock and opened the door and froze mid step. Standing in front of him was Conor. "Conor?"

Conor looked back at Reid then back at Luke. "Anything you want to say to me?"

"I...I...I um..." Luke stuttered out.

Conor nodded and walked pass Luke and up to Reid. "I thought I told you to stay away from him."

"You can't keep me away from him. I'm going to get him away from you even if it kills me." Reid yelled back.

"Well maybe that can be arranged. Before Reid could say anything Conor hit him in the face and he fell to the ground. Luke watched as Conor wailed on Reid then his hands were around his neck.

Luke finally broke out of his trance and ran over to them. "Conor stop you're going to kill him. Luke pulled on Conor's arms. "Let him go!" He shouted. "Stop!"

Conor released his hold on Reid and stepped back he kicked him a few times in the stomach before finally backing off.

Luke ran over to Reid and held his bloody face in his hands. "Reid oh my god I'm so sorry." Reid's right eye was already swollen shut, lip was busted and blood was coming out of his nose. "God you're so crazy sometimes."

Even though he was in pain Luke saw a little smile from Reid.

"Let's go Luke!" Conor shouted.

Luke wouldn't let go of Reid. "We can't just leave him here."

Conor grabbed him by the arm and yanked him up. "I said lets go." He pulled Luke in the house and shut the door.

A nearby neighbor heard all the noise and came out to see Reid bloody and on the floor so she called 911.

Conor dragged Luke over to the couch and pushed him down on it. "Listen if I ever catch you with him again I'm going to kill him. That ass whipping he just got was nothing and it was just a warning." He grabbed Luke by the jaw and pulled him close. "You are mine, Luke Snyder and if you ever say otherwise not only will I kill him but I'll kill you too you got it." Luke nodded and Conor let go of his face. "Now clean up this house because it's a mess." He walked off, knocking over a stack of paper on his way out the room.

Luke rubbed his jaw and then his arm. He's never been so scared in his life. He slowly got up and started back cleaning the house. Reid on his mind the whole time.

Chris was doing paperwork in his office when a nurse came in. "Excuse me but I wanted to tell you that Reid was brought in just now. Looks like someone jumped him or something. He won't talk to anyone but he asked for you."

Chris got up and ran to Reid's room. When he got there Reid was lying in the bed holding his stomach. "Please tell me you did go back over there alone."

"What was I suppose to do?" Reid grumbled out. "I need to get him out of that place Chris."

Chris walked over to him. "Well next time don't go by yourself. Why didn't you call me I would have gone with you?"

"It's not your fight." Reid said

"And it's yours?" Chris yelled. "Look I know you feel bad about leaving him but-"

"It's all my fault Chris, I never should have left him." Reid said. "Because of me Luke's going through hell."

"It's not your fault Reid." A voice said from the door.

Chris turned to see Holden. "What are you doing here?"

Holden walked up to them. "Bob called me and told me what happened. How are you feeling Reid?"

"Like you care, just leave me alone." Reid snapped.

Holden sighed "I'm sorry I didn't believe you."

"So you're here because you believe me now." Reid coughed "Well it's to freaking late because I just got my ass kicked."

Holden walked up to the side of Reid's bed. "Look I know you're upset but can we save that until after we get Luke away from Conor. I know that you love my son and I know he loves you but we have to work together to get him out of this, okay."

Reid nodded "Fine."
