You Are HERE

Lucas was sitting at the trees which Layla had grown for his Uncle Keith and Jimmy Edwards. Jamie was sitting beside him. It had been a year since Keith had been murdered and Jimmy had taken his own life and Peyton had been shot in the leg.

"Why are you so sad Uncle Lucas?" Jamie asked.

"Well Jamie, for me it's been a year since I lost my Uncle."

"Uncle Keith?" Jamie asked.

"Yeah, that's right. And Uncle Keith was a really special guy. He was like a father to me."

"What about Grandpa Dan? Wasn't he your Daddy?" Jamie asked.

"Technically yes he is, but he didn't want anything to do with me."

"You miss Uncle Keith?" Jamie asked.

"Everyday," Lucas said. "Everyday."

Jamie moved closer to him and wrapped his arms around Lucas's neck.

"Thank you buddy," he said holding back his tears.

Maureen was enjoying the last of the summer outside near the pool. She wasn't going to swim she had a pad and a pen resting on her knees and she was humming to herself before scribbling the occasional line to herself.

Lucas had taken Jamie to the basketball court here. He wanted to bond with his nephew. He was teaching Jamie how to play basketball. They'd been out there for a while.

Jamie threw the ball at the hoop and it went it.

Lucas picked Jamie up and started running around the court with him.

"That's my guy. Nothing but net J Luke," he said smiling.

Jamie started to laugh. Lucas set him down gently.

"My turn now. I have to teach you how to dance," Jamie said.

"OK little man, show me what you got," Lucas said.

Jamie started to dance and Lucas started to copy his moves.

For a dorky teen aged kid, Bobby has managed to set up quite an interesting array of stuff for the party (with the help of Residence staff members).

( Let's get this party started! )

After helping Uncle Lucas pack Peyton's stuff for her to move in with him, Lucas took Jamie home to Nanny Deb. He went to his bedroom and pulled on his Ravens uniform for when him and Nathan went to the gym later. He clipped his CD player onto his pants and put the headphones on his neck. He took Chester out of his cage and sat on his bed, petting the bunny. He picked up a puzzle he found on his bed and started to work on it. About an hour later he'd completed the puzzle.

"Yes," he said before there was a blinding green light. He closed his eyes squinting and when he opened them again he was sitting in a hotel Lobby.

"Momma, Daddy," he called out.
