Disclaimers: I don't own The 4400.

Author's note: Has anyone seen the last episode? I think it was awesome! This story is AU of course because Shawn was taken. There could be different possibilities, but I pushed the abductions and returning of the 4400 back. They all are about the same age as in the series though.

Chapter 1: The Tragedy

"Hello" Danny Farrell asked into the phone.

"Danny, is mom home" Shawn Farrell, Danny's older brother, asked.

"No" he answered.

"Can you tell her that I'm going to be going to New York City for a meeting on September 11" Shawn asked. Shawn had always been interested in seeing New York City since he was a kid.

"Why do you want me to tell her that" Danny asked rudely. Danny wasn't one of the people who really liked the 4400.

"Because, she'd want to know about her son" Shawn spat back. They weren't getting along good because Danny thought he'd stolen his girlfriend.

"Fine, goodbye" he said hanging up the phone. Danny walked to where Kyle Baldwin, his cousin, was sitting.

"Who was that" Kyle asked.

"Shawn" Danny said angrily. Kyle caught the anger.

"Man, you have to move over that. It's not like he wanted to be taken" Kyle said. Danny sighed. He knew what Kyle was talking about, his girlfriend and their fight.

"I know, I know" Danny sighed. Susan walked in the room and Danny gave her Shawn's message.

"That's two weeks from now" she said to herself. She went into the kitchen. Danny was talking to Kyle in the other room.


About two weeks later:

Shawn had gotten in from the airport the night before. He was sitting comfortably on his bed thinking about his life before he got abducted. Meanwhile, Danny and Kyle were doing their 12th grade homework.

"I don't get this" Kyle said frustrated.

"I don't either" Danny replied.

"Shawn would understand this though" Kyle said aloud. Danny sighed. Kyle got up and called Shawn's cell phone. Shawn talked him through the work and then he helped Danny. That night, they all went to bed not knowing of the horror to come the next day.

"DANNY! GET OUT OF BED! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL" Susan yelled to him through the door. Danny yawned and shuffled to the bathroom. When he was in school and successfully found Kyle, they went to class. However, during second period, the principal came on.

"Students and faculty, may I have your attention please? There has been an emergency inNew YorkCity. Therefore, school is being evacuated. Please go straight to the busses" the principal announced. Danny ran to Kyle's classroom. Kyle came out all pale.

"Are you okay Kyle" he asked. Danny had forgotten about Shawn's meeting in New York City.
