Part 3: Chapter 3

Brooke and Peyton were at the police station speaking with the police captain.

"So Mrs. Scott," the captain said. "This man shows up in your driveway and you don't contact the police?"

"Well sometimes I have an overactive imagination and I thought I was just imagining it," Peyton said.

"But then today, Beth called and said he had shown up at her house looking for Peyton," Brooke said.

"And Beth is?" the captain asked.

"She's a friend," Brooke said. "I was the legal guardian of her and her sister Sophia for 2 years."

"Beth lives in my old house," Peyton said. "Ian showed up at her house looking for me and Beth gave him my address here in Maine."

"That was stupid," the captain said.

"Yeah it was," Peyton agreed.

"Right now a detective is going over the security footage from the stoplight camera by your house," the captain informed them.

Another police officer walked into the room with a picture.

"Sir," the officer said handing the captain a picture. "We got a shot."

The captain showed Peyton and Brooke the picture of Ian caught on the security camera.

"Is this him?" the captain asked.

"Yes," Peyton and Brooke said.

"I can never forget that face," Brooke said.

"I promise you we will do whatever we can to catch him," the captain said.

After leaving the police station, Peyton and Brooke went back to Peyton and Lucas's house. As they pulled into the driveway, they noticed the door had been kicked in.

"Oh my god!" Peyton screamed as she parked and ran out of her car. "Sawyer!"

Peyton and Brooke ran into the house to find in ransacked.

"Sawyer!" Peyton screamed. "Sawyer!"

"Peyton," Brooke said. "You need to calm down."

"Sawyer's gone!" Peyton screamed. "He took Sawyer!"

Brooke called 911 and the police were there in minutes. As they talked to the police, Lucas ran into the house.

"Peyton?!" Lucas shouted.

"Oh Luke!" Peyton sobbed as she ran to her husband and embraced him. "Ian's back! He took Sawyer!"

"What?!" Lucas shouted.

Sawyer walked into the house carrying a package.

"Mommy?" Sawyer asked. "Daddy?"

"Sawyer!" Lucas and Peyton cheered.

Lucas and Peyton ran over to Sawyer and hugged her tightly.

"What's going on?" Sawyer asked. "Why are the police here?"

"We thought you were kidnapped!" Peyton shouted. "Where have you been? You're grounded!"

"Calm down," Lucas said. "Where were you?"

"I had to run down to the post office to pick up a package," Sawyer said. "I had my phone on me. You could've called me."

The police captain from earlier walked into the house.

"Sawyer was at the post office," Peyton said. "She's safe."

"I'm afraid none of you are safe," the captain said. "We have footage of Ian Banks breaking into your house. Is there anyone you can stay with out of state? We'll pay for your flight and see you there safely."

"We could go to Tree Hill," Peyton said.

"All flights to Tree Hill are cancelled until tomorrow due to a tropical storm," the captain said. "We'll have to put you in a hotel for the night."
