Mark: No problem, dad. I can pick up my boots just before I get in the car especially since they are in the garage.
Kevin: Thanks, son.
Kevin picks up Crisona and leaves the kitchen, going upstairs
Mark starts cleaning up: piling dishes by the skin, throwing away napkins, etc.
Lucy is about to dial home
An excited knock is heard from the back door
Mercy: opening the door Hey!
Reina: hugging Mercy Ready to go?

Kevin walks in with Crisona's diaper bag

Kevin kisses Lucy before leaving with Crisona and Mark
Eric: in worried voice You don't sound fine.
Annie: in panicked voice Is Kevin ok? Is Mark and Mercy ok? Is Crisona ok? Is your unborn child ok?
Lucy: giving shaky laughter They are ok. But there is another person you care about that isn't ok.
Fades out as you see Lucy tell Annie and Eric what happened the past hours.
Fades into a scene where Reina's mom, Polar, is driving while Reina and Mercy is laughing wildly over something in the backseat. Reina's mom turns around slowly to see what is funny. At the same time you see a drunk driver driving like a manic in a wrong direction straight into Polar's car.
Fades out as you see Reina and Mercy turning white and screaming
Fades into Kevin driving into the police station parking lot.
Kevin runs into the station, running into Sergeant Nickem
Kevin: in a hoarse voice from driving quickly and running quickly What's just happened with Robbie Palmer? Why wasn't he at the station?
Sergeant Nickem: in assuring voice Calm down. We let Robbie Palmer home to collect his belongings before sending him to the asylum. Apparently though Robbie had another idea and wrote a suicide note and blew his house up.
Kevin: shaking his head Now what happens?
Sergeant Nickem: in a calm voice Bury him. Try to contact his relatives, but I don¡¯t think he has any. Read his suicide note. Close the case.
Kevin: in disbelief That's all??
Sergeant Nickem: gently slapping Kevin's back I am sorry, Kevin. But there is really nothing I nor you nor the department can do when the primary suspect is dead.
Kevin: I just..shakes his head and walks into his office
Fades out
Fade into Lucy, who is just finishing up her conversation with her parents
Lucy: in much calmer voice I am positive. You guys don't need to come out. I really don't think there will be proper funeral for Robbie. I don't think there really is much of his body left after he blew himself up.
Annie: sighing Ok. But promise to call when Kevin gets home.
Lucy: I promise.
Eric: We love you and miss you.
Lucy: I love you too.
Annie: Bye honey.
Eric: Talk to you soon and remember is going to be ok.
Lucy, Annie, Eric hangs up.
Lucy: out loud to herself That seems to be a theme remembering each other that everything is going to be ok. But it doesn't seem ok. Everywhere I turn it is just mess and headache. screaming That feels better sighs cradles her tummy I am so sorry to bring you into such mess.
Fades out
Fades into Polar turning slowly back to front and just catches the drunk driver coming toward her car in a crazy speed. Polar's eye turns wide and is about to swerve the car out of the way when the drunk driver's car rams into Polar's car with huge impact
Everything blacks out
Author Notes: This is all the chapters I have found on my computer. I will probably write one or two more chapters to tie everything up. So it may feel rushed but I really want to bury this story. I may revised later down the road but who knows.
