Edit: 12/24/07 - Couldn't get the story arc for "The Unforgiven" down, so I tacked that singular chapter onto the end of "Homecoming" to let it just lead off into the end of the movie. So, I apologize for not being able to finish that story. (I just don't know enough about France to keep it going successfully.) Also wanted to take this opportunity to thank those who have endured the many typos and read this fic! D

Wow. Can't believe it got finished. I really can't. It's been a wild ride, I guess you could say.

The whole thing started after I watched "28 Weeks Later" on opening day. I had watched its predecessor several times over and had reservations that the sequel, minus its original cast, would just sit there and fail to amuse me in the theater. After being awestruck, I vented my rage concerning the death of my favorite character into this prequel. Very much like I did with my fic "Drive" after watching the last episode of "Firefly" on DVD. (Serenity needed to fly again, in my mind.)

I wished Doyle had survived the whole ordeal, or at least been used a bit more. But, obviously, it isn't going to happen. Sad, really.

So, here's the end of the story. I am very proud of it and had a lot of fun writing it. Too much fun. Now comes the time to fix all of the errors and stuff like that to make it more streamlined, but, for now, it's finished. Bummer.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read this and continue to leave reviews for it. Especially Stranded, who left a review almost every step of the way, and saved me from not using Scarlett Ross at all in the story. It was that one look that Doyle gave Ross through his scope that I completely missed, lol.

Thanks again, and I hope that I didn't make any stupid mistakes with the story. There was only one way it could end.
