Part 2: Chapter 7

Haley was fast asleep in one of the guest rooms of Brooke and Julian's loft. It continued to thunder and lightning outside and the rain poured even harder than before. Chris walked into the room and walked over to Haley.

"Haley?" Chris said in a pathetic tone.

"Just five more minutes Jamie," Haley said groggily. "I don't trust you to use the stove anymore."

"Haley!" Chris shouted.

Haley woke up and looked at Chris.

"Chris!" Haley shouted. "What the hell?!"

"I can't sleep," Chris said. "Chris Keller hates thunder."

"Well thanks to you, I can't sleep either!" Haley shouted.

"Maybe we should lay down a cuddle," Chris said.

"You crawl into bed with me and you're dead!" Haley said in a threatening voice.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the main door.

"Who could that be at this hour?" Haley asked.

"Maybe it's the landlord," Chris said. "Oh no! What if he thinks we're living here illegally?!"

"Go answer the door and see who it is," Haley suggested.

"Why can't you do it?" Chris asked. "I'm scared."

"Are you really going to make the pregnant woman get up and answer the door?" Haley asked.

"Fine," Chris said. "I'll go answer the door. It better not be two guys taking us hostage!"

"It's not two guys taking us hostage," Haley said. "Just answer the door."

The next morning at about 9:30 Brooke, Julian, Quinn and Clay were waiting at the airport for Haley and Chris.

"When they get here," Brooke said, "Haley and Quinn and are going to brunch. Julian and Clay, you beat Chris up for stretching out my favorite pink robe."

They waited for an hour and Haley and Chris never arrived.

"Maybe their plane is running late," Clay said.

"No," Quinn said, "it landed an hour ago and already took off to its next destination. I checked the schedule."

"Where could they be?" Julian asked.

"Haley's not answering her phone," Brooke said. "Neither is Chris. I'm going to the information desk."

Brooke walked to the information desk.

"Excuse me ma'am," Brooke said to the employee. "My friends Haley Scott and Christopher Keller were supposed to be on Flight 234 from New York and we can't find them."

"Well my boss discourages us from looking up flight information, but she's not here," the worker said. "So just let me look up the information real quick."

The worker looked up Haley and Chris on the computer.

"I'm sorry," the worker said. "It seems they missed the flight."

"But Haley never misses a flight," Brooke said. "She's always annoyingly 4 hours early."

"Well, there's a first time for everything," the worker said.

"No," Brooke said. "Something's not right!"

Brooke rushed over to Julian, Quinn and Clay.

"Guys!" Brooke shouted. "Haley and Chris missed the flight!"

"What?" Quinn asked concerned. "But she's always annoyingly 4 hours early!"

"And she and Chris won't answer their phones!" Brooke shouted. "I think something bad has happened!"

"Remember when Nathan was abducted a few years ago?" Quinn asked. "Maybe Haley and Chris were abducted too!"

"No," Clay said. "Their phones are probably just dead."

Quinn gasped.

"Oh no!" Quinn screamed. "What if they're dead?!"

"No," Julian said. "We have to be positive. Let's go to the police station and report them as missing."

Julian, Brooke and Quinn rushed off as Clay stayed where he was.

"When did Tree Hill get all soap opera?" Clay asked aloud.

Julian walked over to Clay and grabbed his arm.

"Come on Clay," Julian said.
