" Did you hear? Tyron drugged and raped Lucas! " Summer literally yelled through the phone.

I had to hold the cellphone away from my ear for a second . " Geez, I hear you woman !" I say to her .

" I hate to say I told you so but I told you so. I always knew that guy was a creep!"

" Yeah, you definitely told me every single time we talked Summer ."

" But I can't help but feel sorry for Lucas . Is he okay?" She asks softly .

I lean on the hard plastic chair in the waiting room . " The doctor hasn't said anything yet . All we know is that...he was possibly drugged and ....yeah raped as you have heard ."

" More like told, apparently Tyron is the one who also kidnapped Tobias!"

" Bitch, how the hell do you know everything and I don't?"

"Nathan told Cam . Nathan and Wylder are trying to track down Tyron because the police are too slow ."

" This is pure madness." I rub my eyes . Everything is happening so fast . It's hard to keep up .

" That monster! Poor Lucas, he trusted him . Damn, after this, I'm never trusting anyone except Cam."

" You should do that ." I sit up quickly when a young female doctor walks in the waiting room .

" Lucas Creed?" She raised her brows at me expectedly. I nodded , hanging up my cellphone immediately .

" By the looks of it, he will be fine . Although there are some signs that he was assaulted and drugged.. ." She pauses, scanning her eyes over the clipboard in hand . " Lucky, there's no sign of penetration . You can see him now. " She motions for me to follow .

I thank her dearly and trail behind her . A part of me is a little relieved that he wasn't penetrated . God knows if he was, he could have gotten pregnant and he could have been forced to keep the baby, since abortion is not exactly an option for him .

When we got in the Lucas' private room , specifically for him only. We found a nurse tending to him . Asking him a few questions about how he felt and so on . I waited by the corner of the room , where there was a couch until they were done .

" Hey, how are you feeling?" I take a seat beside his bed . Lucas just shrugs and looks away .

" Like shit, but from what I have heard, I have been through worse." He murmurs . His eyes focused on the blue sky outside, through the rectangular window a few feet from his bed.

" I don't even know where to start . What Tyron did was just pure evil !" I blunder out .

" It doesn't matter. It was my fault. I trusted him. He took that as an advantage and now ..." He hugs himself tightly .

" We all did Lucas . It's not your fault . " I say in all honesty . " Don't worry. We are going to find him. He's going to pay for what he did to you . Nathan is going to make sure of it!"

" Any leads on Tobias?" He finally glances over me . I shake my head no . " I'm starting to think Tyron took him . What if...what if he hurt him ...he---"

" Nathan will find him before he does anything to Tobias . " I'm quick to reassure him .

" You don't know that ...he managed to hurt me in my own house . What do you think he will do to Tobias, now that he's aware that we are on his trail? " He mutters angrily .

I hang my head low . Nodding at this statement. " All we can do is hope Lucas . There's nothing we can do ." I mumble. Not having anything else in me to try to make him feel better . Words without action in these kind of situations are pointless.

Immediately, after Lucas was admitted. The police took my statement . They have been trying to track down Tyron all over the town. It's like he knows what he did .

Now I'm at home, grabbing a few clothes for him since he's being discharged today . I'm a little terrified of what the results might be . What if Tyron did rape him? What are we going to do? And a question that had been nagging my mind is, why would Tyron even do that to Lucas? .

I shove his clothes in a small black duffel bag, grab my keys by the kitchen counter and head for the garage . When I arrive in the car, a ring of my cellphone interrupts me .

"Hello?"

" Dad!" Tobias cries out on the other side of the line . I have never felt this relieved and terrified to hear my son's voice .

" Tobias..are you okay?" I ask . Sitting up . I hear some shuffling and harshed voices ." Tobias?" I repeat . Wondering who's speaking to him.

" Yeah, I'm okay . " Tobias says happily. He sounds nothing like a kidnapped person. However, that doesn't ease my nerves.

" What-- where are you?" I whisper. I hear another round of shuffling and murmuring . I strain my ear to hear anything, perhaps clues on where Tobias is but nothing.

" He's with me ." A familiar voice answers a few seconds later. I feel my blood going cold with realisation." Tyron?"

" The one and only." He chortles dryly on the other side" You better clear my name or your fucking kid dies. You have until tonight." He adds , his deep cold voice making me wish I killed him the minute I found him on top of Lucas . How could I have been so dumb? .

" You fuckin---" he hangs up on me . I'm left staring at my cellphone with my mouth hanging open.
