Chapter 1: What Lies Behind Us and What Lies Ahead
"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us." -Oliver Wendell Holmes
~~~
"Kyle!?" Stephen yelled as he entered the Trager home. "You didn't show up at the Rack and we were getting worr..." He hears a crash and runs to the sound.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he saw the young man who has become a son to him, standing there with his hand grasped tightly around Cassidy's throat. "Kyle! Stop! You are not a killer Kyle, you're better than this." Stephen pleaded.
Kyle's eyes fell to his feet but he still held on to Cassidy. A tear fell from the corner of Kyle’s eye as Stephen said, "Kyle, let him go."
Very slowly, Kyle lowered Cassidy until his feet touched the wooden planks of the deck.
Cassidy stood there in shock as Stephen walked over to Kyle and placed his arm around him. Kyle buried his face in his father's shoulder and cried.
A few moments passed and Cassidy stood, watching this scene. He couldn't believe it. All his mother had ever shown him was her disappointment and anger. She always made sure than he feared her. Cassidy wasn't even sure who his father was, so he did not understand this kind of bond that he was witnessing.
A tear fell from Cassidy's eye as well. He wiped it away and attempted to creep back into the house so he could exit through the front door. Stephen saw this maneuver through the corner of his eye and stuck his leg out and tripped Cassidy who fell, hitting his head on the floor. The blow knocked him unconscious.
~~~
Back at the Rack the rest of the Trager family began to worry. Nicole decided that they would return home to check on Kyle and Stephen.
They entered the house and as they got closer to the kitchen, they saw the rubble left from the fight. Nicole ordered the Josh and Lori to head back into the car and stopped to tell Lori to start the car and drive away if anything happened.
Nicole then proceeded to the back porch where she spotted Cassidy on the ground and Stephen and Kyle in an embrace.
A look came over Nicole’s face. It was a look of joy seeing this moment between her husband and adopted son, mixed with a look of fear. Her mind ran through several scenarios of what might have happened, each one more terrible than the last.
She knelt beside Cassidy, and placed two fingers on his neck. She felt his pulse and stood up again.
She turned to the guys and lightly touched each of them on the arm before heading in to call 911.

Mark lay on the bed in his dorm room, staring up at the ceiling. He wasn't sure what he had helped Kyle do, but he was sure that it was the right thing. Well, at least he was pretty sure.
Mark headed out to his car and started to drive. He ended up at the Trager house.
He saw Lori and Josh in the parked car in the driveway. He exited his car and started towards them. Mark tapped on the driver side window and Lori rolled it down. “Lori. We need to talk. In private. About Kyle.” Mark began.
Lori's lips thinned out and her brow furrowed. She took a few deep breaths and then stuttered, “Wh…what about Kyle?”
“Like I said Lori, in private.” Mark slipped her a note with a place and a time on it. He nodded his head and went back to his car.
~~~
Mark arrived back at his dorm and saw Amanda outside heading towards the pay phone. He stopped her and asked, “What are you doing here? Are you on another date with Nate?”
“Um, no.” was all she could come up with. She didn’t know if or what he knew about Kyle, but she couldn’t let him know anything so she had to be careful.
“Well then?” he looked at her with his right eyebrow arched slightly upwards.
“Nate’s a bad guy Mark. I was going to call Kyle for help, but maybe you could help us. Long story short, Nate attacked Jessi and I and we knocked him unconscious.”
“Wait. What? Nate is where and why?” Mark asked, confusion setting in.
“Follow me.” Amanda said as she grabbed Mark’s wrist and led him back into the dormitory.
When they reached the bedroom they saw that Jessi had duck taped Nate’s hands and feet to the bed posts. Mark looked on with great confusion.
“What is ‘he’ doing here?!” Jessi demanded.
“We need help Jessi and you know that.” Amanda told her.
“Well what do you want me to do?” Mark questioned.
“I’m not sure yet.” Amanda said with uncertainty in her voice.
So the three of them stood there looking down at Nate’s motionless body and tried to figure out what to do.
Just then, Hillary passed the door to the room and sees what is happening. “Amanda!” She shrieked, her voice higher than usual, “What is going on?”
“Um, Hillary, we may need your help as well. So stick around if you don’t mind,” Amanda said.
Hillary stumbled into the room and giggled.
"Amanda, I never would have thought I'd find you in this sort of position." The light scent of alcohol filled the room as she entered.
“Man this is the craziest day I’ve ever had. “ Mark mumbled under his breath.
~~~
Tom Foss sat back in his car and listened to his police scanner, as he had done ever since returning to Seattle.
A voice came across his radio and Foss recognized it as Nicole’s. She was reporting the injury of a man who had broken in to their house.
Within seconds, he was on his cell, “Declan. It’s Foss. Head to the Trager's now, and make sure that everyone is ok. I can’t get there as quickly as you. I’ll be there as soon as I can though.”
About five minutes later Declan's car squealed into the driveway of the Trager household. He leapt out of his car and rushed over to the family car. He banged on Lori’s window and she rolled it down.
Declan started anxiously, “Lori are you alright? Is Kyle alright? Is everyone alright?”
“Can you keep it down Declan, I’m on the phone with Andy,” Josh griped.
Lori smacked Josh on the arm. “Declan, I don’t know. Mom told us to come out here so we did.” Her voice shook, and her eyes were wide.
“Okay Trager, I’m going in!” Declan said. “And to think I missed these adventures.” He added under his breath.
Declan entered the house and was greeted with Nicole's worried voice. “You know you’re going to have to tell me what happened here tonight, Kyle.”
To be continued...
