Default Break Line Failure

Whats up guys,

I let a buddy borrow my truck while I was deployed and when I got back and picked it up I immediately noticed my break peddle went to the floor and had both the ABS and parking break lights on. Needless to say I was a little upset. After looking at it, I found about 3 failure points on one of the break lines.

My guess is that he had to slam on the breaks at one point but am not sure because he deployed before I returned. I'm wondering what the best and worse case scenarios are for fixing this(cost), if my ABS is jacked up, and if it is somewhat drivable. I have driven it from base to home, but like i said I just returned from a deployment so I need to get things out of storage.

Thanks for any help

Were are the problem points?

Have any pictures?

More info is helpful I will also say I don't think it was anything your friend did no mater how hard you slam the brakes on it should never develop leaks like that unless he damage the underside of the truck somehow.
