Chapter 7
Serena looks around the room at the worried faces of her family and friends, Neil squeezes her hand tightly. Serena takes a deep breath.
Serena: She is alive, she made it through surgery. She's still very critical but she is stable. I wish I could tell you she was deffinetly going to live I sertenly want to be able to say that but It really is to soon to tell. She lost alot of blood and her heart sustained a bad punture wooned. She went into cardiac arrest twice during surgery
Everyone gasps.
Serena: However we were able to restabilize her. The thing is because for a period of time there was no oxygen getting to her brain she could have brain damage. Now it's not for sure that she will but there is a possibility. She's in a coma right now and we'll be monitering her closely. The next 48 hours will be the most critical.
Faith: Can we see her?
Serena: No not yet she's still in recovery but in a few hours we'll move her down to ICU then you can.
Everyone nods. Serena takes a deep breath trying to keep her emotions in check.
Serena: You know Mom is strong she's already been through alot I can't imagen her quiting now. I'll let you know if there is any change.
Serena leaves quickly before she starts to cry Neil fallows her into the hall and takes her by the arm. She falls into his arms crying. Neil holds her tight as she cries
Neil: I'm here I'm here. 
Joseph lies in bed tossing and turning thinking about what he found last night. He can't get the image of that scarp book with the victems pictures and the letter J up in the attic out of his mind. He thinks about how angry and mean twords his mom sister and himself his father has been. He thinks about how out of controle his temper is. He thinks about the fact that the three victems are all people his Dad hates. But how can he turn his own father in. Especially when it's just a hunch. Joseph gets up and looks out the window. He thinks about his cousins and how they almost lost there father and how Uncle Frank has always been there for him. He thinks about how Lucy used to come over and watch him and his sister while his parants went out and they'd play all sorts of games and tell ghost stories way into the night. How can he not tell. Joseph sighs sadly. Maybe he should tell his Dad what he has found maybe there is an explination. Joseph gose down stairs hoping his father is up. Sure enough he finds him in the kitchen sulking over the paper.
Joe: Your Mom didn't come home last night so there isn't a worm breakfast get yourself some ceareal.
Joseph dose this quietly trying to collect his thoughts as he sits across from his Dad.
Joseph: Dad can I please talk to you it's really important.
Joe puts his paper down and looks at Joseph.
Joe: What
Joseph: Well I was thinking alot last night about how my cousins almost lost there father and what a great baby sitter Lucy used to be. And how awful it is that someone tried to kill them. I couldn't sleep at all so I went up to the attic like I always do when I can't sleep. Anyways I found a scrap book lying on one of the boxes and in it was clipings about all the attacks and the letter J was printed in the back of the book like an Identification. Dad I know you don't like any of the victems and you have a very out of controle temper and well.
Joe turns beat red and stands up quckly nocking his chair over. Joseph jumps. Joe then reaches across the table and yanks Joseph up by the coler of his shirt.
Joe: HOW DARE YOU ACUSE ME OF SUCH A THING YOU UNGREATFUL BRAT!! I'M YOUR FATHER TREAT ME WITH SOME RESPECT!
Joe then flings Joseph across the room Joseph lands against the stove and howls in pain. Joe storms out of the house. Joseph sits on the floor crying for a bit holding his arm. finelly he gets up.
Joseph: Well that's all the proof I need.
Joseph gose to the phone and calls the police.
Joseph: Hello this is Joseph Scanlon I think I've found a lead for you in the attacks on Lucy Collins, Frank Scanlon and the murder of Rachel Boardman. 

Jamual stands by the nurses station talking on the phone.
Jamual: Well that sertenly sounds like a possible lead. But I'm not going to go on hear say alone. There are alot of problems over at the Scanlon house could be Joseph is just angry with his old man. No I do think we need to look into it but it's still to soon to make an arrest. Besides a scrap book is still pretty sercumstantial I doubt the state could get a conviction out of it. Yes I agree, no I have already interviewed him. We need to get a search worrent to search the house. But listen make sure the officers understand they are to search it not trash it and if there is alot of damage done to the house or unreasonable damage done to personal property the cost of repair will becoming out of their pay checks. Yes I am seareus you know my rules about searching. Anything that is to be found can be found with out trashing everything. No I''m going to stay here for awhile. Yeah my Dad is going home today. Thanks we are all relieved. Bye
Jamual hangs up. Alison aproches him and gives him a hug.
Alison: Hey good looking.
Jamual smiles and kisses her softly.
Jamual: Hey there buetiful what's a sweet gal like you doing in a place like this?
Alison: Oh just hanging around to be close to my man.
Alison smiles
Jamual: Well he must be one special guy.
Alison: Oh he's pretty great.
Jamual: Well he'd better be treating you right.
Alison moves closer
Alison: Oh he treats me very fine
They giggle and kiss.
Alison: So any leads?
Jamual sighs and rubs his head.
Jamual: Yeah one maybe. Seems Joseph found a scrap book in his atic containing news paper clipings about the attacks and it has Joe's initails on it.
Alison gasps
Alison: Oh My God!
Jamual: I really don't want to have to arrest Joe. I mean I don't like him but he is Frank's brother.
Alison: Well maybe you won't have to I mean okay he has a scrap book what dose that really prove?
Jamual: Nothing I guess but still. So how is Lucy doing?
Alison: She is going to be brought down to ICU soon. She's critical but holding her own.
Jamual nods
Jamual: Hopefully she'll pull through. How is Kevin?
Alison: He is a reck.
Jamual: Is he still convinced that he had something to do with it?
Alison: Not so much convinced as worried that he is.
Jamual nods
Jamual: You think he could be?
Alison sighs
Alison: Intentionally? No not at all Kevin in his right mind could never hurt anyone. But Kevin when he looses it?
Alison shakes her head.
Alison: I just really don't know. I guess I wouldn't hurt to search the light house just so long as you remind them how to do it.
Jamual nods
Jamual: That's a good Idea and don't worry I will. I decided long ago that searching dosn't mean trashing.
Alison nods
Alison: And it could actually help Kevin. I mean if you don't find anything then that will be more reason for him to believe he is inocent and if you do then we can get him help.
Jamual nods
Jamual: Yeah and believe me I'd much rather send Kevin to Ferncliff then my fathers brother to jail.
Alison nods and they hug. 

Courtney helps a still sore Frank dress to go home as Frankie and Angel help get his things together.
Courtney: So you all ready to get out of here?
Frank: You have no idea. I've been ready for awhile now. All I could think about all night is getting back to my own house.
Frankie: Do you think it will feel weird? I mean the stain is still in the rug.
Angel: Frankie come on lets not talk about that.
Frank: No that's okay. Frankie I'm sure it might at first but you know I can't avoid it for ever. And I'm not about to let some sicko scare me out of my own home.
Courtney smiles
Courtney: My hero.
She wraps her arms around hiim and hugs him Frank winces a little. Courtney jumps back
Courtney: Oh I'm sorry.
Frank pulls her close
Frank: Don't worry about it I want you close no matter how it feels.
They kiss.
Angel: Awww
Frankie: Oh please!
They all laugh.
Angel: Hey where is Neil?
Courtney: Oh he probubly just got teid up with a patient I'm sure he'll be here soon.
Just then Neil walks in.
Frankie: Ask and you will recieve.
Everone laughs. Then they notice Neil's somber face.
Frank: Hey Buddy what's wrong?
Neil sighs sadly.
Neil: Last night the attacker struck again. The attacker stabbed Lucy.
Everyone gasps.
Courtney: Oh My God this is a nightmare!
Angel: Is she okay? How are Faith, Hope, Serena and Kevin all holding up?
Frank: Is there anything we can do?
Frankie: Do they have any idea who is doing this?
Neil: Well she made it through surgery. She's been moved to ICU but she's very critical and is in a coma. I think besides offering our support prayer is about it for what we can do. Unfortchunitly they don't seem much closer to the truth yet. Kevin is having memory lapses but I can't even begin to fathem him a killer or much less able to hurt Lucy.
Frank: I'm sure it's not Kevin.
Courtney: How many have to be hurt before Jamual arrests someone!
Frank: Huney Jamual is an exolent detective who always gets the bad guy. And the reason he dose is he dosn't rush it he makes sure he has the right person. Yes Jamual could go out and arrest someone but if it's not the right person what's the point.
Courtney nods
Courtney: I know it's just.
Neil: We all want this monster to be caught but we have to trust in Jamual and be patient. He'll get the monster it just takes time.
Frankie: But what are we supposed to do in the mean time just sit back and watch people be attacked and killed?
Frank: I'm sure it's Tearing Jamual up inside that he isn't able to just grab this monster and through him behind bars he's doing the best he can and we can't ask more. Right now I think we should all go and offer our support to Lucy's family.
Angel: That's a good idea we can offer then hope that things can be okay.
They all nod in agreement and head off. 

Kevin stairs through the glass as he watches Serena and the other doctors get Lucy all settled in her ICU room. Serena comes out of the room.
Kevin: She looks so pale.
Serena nods
Serena: She's lost alot of blood but we've been replacing it as quickly as we can.
Kevin: Has she shown any signs of waking up?
Serena shakes her head sadly
Serena: No not yet but she did just get out of surgery so give her sometime.
Faith walks over to them
Faith: So you do think she'll be okay?
Serena sighs sadly
Serena: I wish I new Faith I really do.
Hope walks over
Hope: Serena this is going to sound really silly but can't you just go in there and wake her up! You're done it before
Serena smiles
Serena: Timing Hope it was nothimg more then good timing.
Gabreilla: Guys I need to get to work I'll come back later and see how she is doing.
Gabreilla hugs Kevin
Gabreilla: You hang in there and don't disrespect Lucy by blaiming yourself you know how angry she would be about that.
Kevin nods.
Kevin: I wish I could but
Kevin trails off and looks in at Lucy. Just then Frank, Courtney, Neil, Frankie, and Angel come over.
Frank: Hey Kevin I just heard I'm so sorry.
Kevin just gazes in at Lucy.
Faith: He thinks it's his fault.
Frank puts his hand on Kevin's shoulder.
Frank: Kevin no matter what is in us or what we are capable of we all have our limests. You are not capable of this you just aren't.
Courtney puts her arms around Faith and Hope.
Courtney: How are you girls holing up?
Faith: Fine if I don't think about what's going on.
Hope: I just keep thinking about how rude I was yesturday morning.
Angel: I know when my Dad got stabbed I just kept focusing on everything I could do so I woudln't have to think. I just kept buzy.
Frankie takes Hope's hand in his.
Frankie: Hey we're teen agers we're supposed to be rude.
That brings a small smile to Hope's face.
Hope: Oh really.
Frankie: Oh absolutly. And you know the great part is our parants understand it's just a phaze and they let it roll right off their backs.
Hope: I brought up Christina I don't think she can let that roll.
Courtney: You know what your Mom has gotten so much stronger since then and I'm sure she new you didn't mean to upset her.
Neil hugs Serena.
Neil: How are you holding up?
Serena: I don't know I just don't know. Hope asked me if I thought I could wake her up. I would love to believe in that magic but adults can't believe in magic.
Neil strokes her face lovingly
Neil: Says who? Lucy believes in magic why shouldn't you.
Serena smiles through her tears
Serena: Maybe.
Courtney sees how stressed Kevin is and fallows him over to the coffie mushine.
Courtney: I remember when Frank was stabbed it took every bit of strength in my body not just just crumble into a million peaces. But I coudn't I new I had to keep going. My kids needed me and Frank needed me. But aside from when Neil was sick I''ve never been more terrified.
Kevin: At least you didn't have to wonder if you were responsible for it.
Courtney: No but you don't really believe you are do you? Kevin a memory laps proves nothing except you had a memory laps.
Kevin half smiles
Kevin: I wish I could believe that.
Kevin slowly gose into Lucy's room and pulls a stool up to the side of her bed. He looks at his beloved Lucy so still and motionless as mushines beep and blink everywhere. Kevin is over come by emotion. He puts his arms around her lays his head on her stomach and cries.
Kevin: Please don't leave please come back to me Lucy. 

Jamual and Alison are walking down the hall.
Jamual: I hope we didn't miss them
Alison: Oh I doubt that we did. My guess is they went to see how Lucy is doing. You know Frank when someone is in trouble.
Jamual smiles
Jamual: He comes on the double.
They both smile just then Jamual's cell phone rings.
Jamual: Detective woods. Yes did you find anything? I see I'll look at it when I come in later this smorning. Did you find any other incrimenating evidence? Well that sertenly gives him motive. No not yet we're aren't ready to make an arrest. How about the light house did you find any evidence there? What?! Are you sure? A list? Did it give any idea who may be next? Oh this is just great! No no hold off I'll be in to look over things soon I just want to say hi to My Dad before he gose home. Thanks I'm glad to.
Jamual hangs up.
Jamual: Damit!
Alison takes Jamual's hand.
Alison: What's wrong? What is it?
Jamual: Well first off when the cops searched Joe's place they found the scrap book of news paper clippings but that's all they found. And Joseph says that his father was fureious with Lucy for telling Gabreila she should leave him. But unfortchunitly that's all the evidence we have. Aside from motive one business card and a tacky scrap book we have nothing. On top of this Kevin just jumped ahead in the suspect catigory.
Alison: OH My God! You think Kevin may have done this after all?
Jamual: I don't want to and I still find it unbelieveable but
Jamual shakes his head and sighs.
Alison: But what?
Alison strokes his worried face.
Jamual: When my men searched the light house they found a list in Kevin's desk.
Alison: What kind of list?
Jamual: A list with the names Frank, Rachel, and Lucy on it and by each a big check mark. Below that was written three more to go and the letter J.
Alison gasps in horrer.
Alison: Oh My God! Was there any indocation on the list of who the next victems might be?
Jamual shakes his head
Jamual: No not a clue. All I know is that this killer means business and there must be some kind of conection. I also no that Kevin can't remember where he was during any of the attacks and has lost it before.
Alison shakes her head sadly.
Alison: I just can't believe it did they find anything else?
Jamual: No. Look I need to get to the station lets go find Frank before he leaves. And I don't want to mention any of this to him okay.
Alison nods in agreement they head off. 

Eve is quietly working on rounds when Karen comes running off the elivator.
Karen: Eve Oh My God is it ture?! I just heard! Did someone really try to kill Lucy?
Eve nods solumly
Eve: Still may have she's in a deep coma and her heart was badly injured.
Karen shakes her head sadly.
Karen: This is just to much! I just can't believe this is happening. I can't believe we have to deal with anuther seareal killer.
Eve: Well at least this time we have a competent detective on our side.
Karen: But Eve how many people are going to have to be attacked I know Jamual is therough but people are dying!
Eve: Karen he knows that and believe me it's bothering him. I've known Jamual for years he'd give anything to have the bad guy locked up but he isn't going to just throuw anyone into jail.
Karen sighs
Karen: I know I know. How are Kevin and the girls holding up? How is Serena?
Eve: Well Serena is proving to be one tough young lady. Lucy was brought in and Serena jumped in and took care of her. She did a great job in the OR
Karen: Serena operated on her?
Eve nods
Eve: Word is Lucy would have probubly died on the table had Serena not been in there. She's one great surgen.
Karen smiles
Karen: That's my sister. She must be so upset though.
Eve: Yeah but she's got Neil and he really dose keep her hope ups. As for the otheers well Hope and Faith are scared and upset as ever. But they are trying to be brave. Kevin well
Eve shakes her head sadly
Eve: Aparently Kevin has been having some memory lapses, and it seems they happen always during the time of one of these attacks and when he wakes up he's near the seen.
Karen: He isn't
Eve nods
Eve: Blaiming himself yep he is. He's convinced this means he's the attacker. Ofcourse no one thinks he is.
Karen shakes her head sadly.
Karen: Poor Kevin I remember how devistated he was when Rex nearly killed her. At least he had the comfort of knowing it wasn't his fault. I am sure he didn't do it but how awful for him to believe he could do this to Lucy of all people.
Eve: Everyone has been trying to get it through his head that it's not him but he just won't listen.
Karen: Is Lucky helping?
Eve: He's doing his best but Kevin isn't an easy patient.
Karen nods
Karen: Is my Dad with the group?
Scott: He was but he went home to get the kids off to school. He'll be back later.
Karen nods
Eve: So how are things with you? I heard you hired your Dad to be on retainer for Chris.
Karen sighs
Karen: I'm probubly over reacting, Jamual is therough enough that the odds are Chris won't be arrested but I just don't want to be unprepaired. I love Chris so much and it took us so long to get together. And Eve what ever Chris may or may not be he's no killer.
Eve: I know Chris has his faults but he is not violent. Actually based on what I've heard I don't think Jamual is looking at Chris much now anyways.
Karen: But he is not seareusly thinking it's Kevin is he?
Eve: No I think he has a hunch it's Joe.
Karen gasps
Karen: Oh Eve that has to be a mistake. Joe may be a jerk but
Eve: I know I know. The truth is Jamual is at his wits end. Alison told me that there is equal reason to suspect all three and it's all extreamly sercumstantchual.
Karen ponders this.
Karen: You know Eve maybe the problem is it's someone totaly different and it's just a mistake that these three have evidence indicating them.
Eve: It's a possibility I guess I'd sertenly like to believe it but who else could it be.
Karen shrugs
Karen: I don't know. I just hate to think any of them are guilty
Eve nods
Eve: I know me either. I still can't stop thinking about the killers calling card. You know that J writen with the victems blood. Maybe there is a clue there.
Karen's eyes widen.
Karen: You don't think Julie?!
Eve: No no I doubt it. Why would she come back now. She'd just be thrown in jail and Christina would get reunited with Lucy. I doubt she'd risk it. Besides she was cleared of any of the murders.
Karen: Yeah that's true. Well I need to get to work. Have a good day.
Eve: You to bye
Karen: Bye
Karen heads off. 

Lucy's room is full as Hope, Faith, Kevin, and Serena watch her sleep.
Kevin: Lucy please come back to us we need you. Please don't leave.
Hope comes up close and takes her hand tightly in hers with tears in her eyes and a trembiling voice she begins to speek.
Hope: Please Mom I know I've been awful lately I'm sorry. I love you and I still need you. I am sorry about the things I've said. No girl could ask for a better mom. Please don't leave we need you I need you.
Hope starts crying. Faith comes over and puts her arm around her sister
Faith: She knows she knows.
Faith lightly brushes the hair out of her mom's face.
Faith: Hey Mom you know you're sleeping the day away here. How about opening your eyes for us. Please Mom be alot easier to fuss over you if you were awake. We all love you so much. You know you have alot of reasons to wake up. Hope Dad Serena and I still need you and love you very much, the hospital needs it's best board member to keep them on there toes, The Paitents here with HIV still count on you to be there adovcate and get them the medicine and research they need. But most of all your life isn't done yet. It's not your time Mom you have so much life left and and our lives would just be so dark and empty with out you.
She starts crying. The sisters hug. Serena stands there wishing she believed in magic as she had when she was small. Then she feels a sudden pull of something unexplainable and she walks over and picks up Lucy's hand.
Serena: Come on Mom please I need you very much please. I love you you can't go away you just can't. I need you.
Tears fall down Serena's face she holds Lucy's hand to her chest and suddenly she feels Lucy's fingures move. Her head shoots up and she sees Lucy's eyes looking right at her.

Chapter 8
Serena gasps in amazment.
Serena: Mom!
Everyone jumps up.
Faith: Hey Mom welcome back!
Hope: Oh My God Serena you did it you did it! Oh Mom I love you so much welcome back!
Hope hugs Lucy as tears race down her face. Lucy gently strokes her daughters head. Kevin wipes his tear stained face and kisses Lucy.
Kevin: Welcome back. I love you so much.
Everyone is crying.
Serena: Mom stay calm okay you're in the hospital and you have a ventelator in your mouth that's why you can't talk. Squeze my hand if you understand what I'm saying.
Lucy squezes her hand and looks at her lovingly.
Serena smiles
Serena: She's going to be okay.
Kevin: Thank God
Kevin rests his head on Lucy's shoulder and cries. Lucy rubs his head gently.
Faith: Do you remember what happend?
Serena hands Lucy a pen and paper.
Lucy scribles down something then hands it to Serena.
Serena: The last thing I remember is someone grabing me from behind.
Hope: You were stabbed Mom. It was the same person who stabbed Frank and Rachel.
Kevin: Did you see who it was?
Lucy shakes her head no.
Kevin is still crying Lucy gets a conserned look on her face. She writes something else and hands it to Kevin.
Kevin: It's okay Doc I'm going to be fine nothing is taking me away from you.
Kevin: Oh Lucy
He starts sobbing. Lucy tries to hold him very conserned as to what is going on.
Serena: Kevin everything is going to be okay. I'm going to go call my Dad I'm sure he'll be happy to know his Pal is okay.
Serena leans down and kisses Lucy on the forhead
Serena: I'm so glad you're back I''ll check in on you later.
Hope: When can she get the vent off?
Serena: In a few hours I don't want to rush her recovery.
Hope: But she is going to be okay right?
Serena smiles and hugs Hope
Serena: I think so, we still have to watch her for infection but yes so far so good. And why shouldn't she be she has Faith and Hope
Everyone cracks up.
Hope: Oh very funny
Faith: Lame Serena very lame
Kevin: But cute.
Serena smiles
Serena: Well I'll be back to check on her in a bit.
Serena leaves everyone looks at each other happy to have Lucy back. 
Chris walks slowly half in a daze through the half melted snow. The ice cold wind wips him in the face and chills him to the bone as he moves at a painfully slow speed through the park. He comes to a deserted bench aimlessly brushes the snow off and sits. He gazes around the park seeming almost unaware of the freezing cold. He stairs at the swing set the wind blowing the swings around with an almost ominess cry. Chris sighs sadly he thinks back to anuther cold winter day long ago in this very park and a tear runs down his cheeck. He quickly bushes it away and shakes his head.
Chris: I am a happily married man with two kids and a thriving career. Why on earth is she still haunting me.
Suddenly a strange feeling comes over Chris and his whole body shivers. He turns around quickly but no one is there. He shakes his head in confusion and starts to get up to leave. Again he feels a strange sensation as if someone's watching him closely. He turns around and walks twords a clump of bushes but something sudedenly makes him turn and with at an almost frantic pace leave the park. 

Serena happily unhoocks Lucy from the ventilator as Kevin, Hope and Faith watch.
Serena: Well that's our Mom for you when she decides to get better she dosn't waiste any time.
They laugh
Faith: Yep she takes a licking but keeps on ticking.
Lucy smiles lovingly at her family.
Lucy: Well I could never leave any of you. You're my family and I love each of you to much to ever leave you.
Hope starts crying Lucy reaches out for her daughter with a concerned look on her face.
Lucy: Hope sweet heart what is it?
Hope: Oh Mom can you ever forgive me I've been just awful to you. I love you so much and I've just been terrible.
Lucy smiles lovingly at her daughter and shakes her head.
Lucy: Hope listen to me you have not been terrible you've just been a teenager and you have nothing to apoligize for. You are exactly like I was at your age. And I love you just the way you are.
Lucy pulls Hope in close and hugs her tightly. Hope wipes her face and smiles a little
Hope: I love you to Mom and I promis I'll never mention her name again.
Lucy looks puzzled then smiles
Lucy: Christina's name dosn't bring me pain. Yes I'll always love her and miss her and worry about her but her name could never bring me pain. Hope she is as much my daughter as you Faith and Serena are and while thinking about what happend is sad thinking about her isn't. And I can hardly waite to see your project.
Hope smiles.
Faith: Told you so.
Hope glairs at her sister.
Serena laughs
Serena: I guess things are back to normal here.
Everyone chuckles except Kevin who has been standing in the corner looking extreamly troubled. Lucy looks at him and sees his disturbed look and shivers.
Lucy: Doc?
She reaches her hand out to him he takes it reluctantly as tears slide out of his eyes.
Lucy: What is it?
Faith and Hope look at each other not sure what to do. Serena takes a deep breath and chooses to speak.
Serena: Aparently he had anuther memory laps last night. He lost about three hours and when he woke up he was out by the duck pond. He went inside and found you stabed upstairs.
Kevin is shaking Lucy gasps when she realizes what Serena is telling her. Lucy looks up at Kevin's tormented face. Lucy takes a deep breath.
Lucy: Hope Faith why don't you go to the cafiteria and get something to eat while I talk to your father alone.
They nod hug her and quickly leave. Serena excuses herself quickly as well.
Lucy: Kevin Collins sit down.
Kevin sits on the stool beside her bed.
Kevin: Lucy
Lucy: Kevin be quite and listen to me. There are something I know with out being told. You know that is true.
Kevin nods
Lucy: Now I'm not saying you haven't had your share of problems but one thing I know is that you could never hurt me.
Kevin: Lucy
Lucy: Kevin No! Listen to me. You are capeble of alot of things but this kind of violance isn't one of them! You don't have it in you
Kevin: Yes I
Lucy: No no you don't! You never hurt Felica and even if I hadn't shown up you couldn't have. I know you like I know myself and you are not your brother. Memory lapses or not you are not responsible for this. Now I do think we need to find out what these memory lapses are about but I have no doubt that even if you are having anuther break down that you're not responsible for any of this. And I will not lie here while you carry the blame for one ounce of this do you under stand me!
Kevin: But
Kevin starts to cry.
Lucy: Do you trust me
Kevin: Lucy
Lucy: Do you trust me! Yes or no!
Kevin nods
Kevin: With my life
Lucy: OKay then listen to me you are not responsible for this Kevin Collins not one bit of it and I will not have you blaiming yourself for it!
Kevin starts crying harder
Kevin: I don't want to but I'm so scared
He falls into Lucy's arms and she holds him as he cries.
Lucy: It's going to be okay Doc it's going to be okay. 

Joe has been driving around for hours as his thoughts race here and there. He finelly arrives home. He walks in and finds it empty. But the emptynes is nothing new he's felt only emptyness for along time. Joe quietly walks through his house. He sees a picture of Gabreilla and him on their wedding day. He picks it up and stiars at it.
Joe: What happend to us Gabby? How did we loose it. I don't know when or why we stoped loving each other. I wish I new how to get it back. I miss you.
A tear falls on the picture he sighs sadly and puts it back on the manel. Then he sees a pictue of him with Joseph and Rose not long after Rose was born. He shakes his head in amazment at how at peace and happy all three of them look.
Joe: It's amazing how things change. I used to have so much energy and love for them. I guess I still do.
Joe sighs
Joe: But it's to late for that they like everyone else in this down thinks I'm a monster.
Joe sits the picture back down.
Joe: Maybe they would all be better off with out me. I might as well leave I sertenly wouldn't be missed I've already been gone for a long time.
Joe sadly gose upstairs he pulls out a suitcase throws somethings in it and comes back down. He gets a pen and paper and scribles a note to Gabreilla. 

Gabreilla
I am not the same man you married. I have changed as have you. I wish we could get back what we once had but I don't know how we can. Our love is gone it has been for sometime. I think it's time we stoped living a lie. You and the kids deserve better. You'll be better off this way we all will be.
Goodbye
Joe

Courtney: You know what Frank you should go see her in fact we all should. A couple of days before our trip to Florida I was talking to Kevin about possible ways to help Lark. She is my daughter too after all. Anyway he said that the best thing we can do for her is to include her in everything and treat her like she can hear and understand us. If we include her and make her feel part of our lives she might be more likly to start responding.

Brian and Randy are walking home from school together through the mountains of snow and ice as the wind chills them to the core.
Randy: Brian wait up!
Randy tries to run through the snow banks to catch up with her brother.
Brian: Why don't you just try to catch up slow poke.
Randy rolls her eyes at her brother.
Randy: You'd better not be talking to me like that or I'll tell Mom and you remember what she said about us not fighting.
Brian: You're such a tattle tale!
Randy: I am not! What's your hurry anyway? Are you expecting Nutasha to call you.
Randy flips her hair back and bats her eye lashes.
Randy: Oh Brian thankyou ever so much for carrying my books for me I don't know how I'd ever have carried them on my own
Randy giggles and bats her eye lashes some more.
Brian: Will you shut up! You're such a baby!

Brian: Oh cool Mom and Dad are home!
Randy: Very cool we can all have some hot chocolate together and Dad can tell us some ghost stories.
Brian unlocks the door and they walk in. As their eyes focus Randy lets out a horrified scream.
Brian: DAD!!
Randy and Brian run to Scott who is lying on the floor in a pool of blood with a knife sticking out of his chest.
Randy: Dad Dad No Dad! Please Dad!
Randy is crying histairicly
Brian: Oh My God Look!

Randy: But why why!
Brian grabs hold of his sister.
Brian: Randy calm down! Go to the kitchen and call 911 and get me a towel or something.
Randy runs to the kitchen Brian searches for a pulse all of a sudden he hears another ear pearcing scream. He runs to the kitchen and finds his sister crouched down over their mothers body who has a knife sticking out of her chest as well and again there is a bloody J on the wall.
Brian: Mom!
Brian runs to her
Randy: No no this isn't happening this isn't happening!
Randy stands up shaking something suddenly catches her eye and makes her look out the opened screen door. She is stunned to see that standing in the middle of their yard is a half dressed Kevin Collins.
 

Randy gasps and points at the open door.
Randy: Brian look! Look outside! It's Kevin!
Brain who is trying to find a pulse on his mom looks up.
Brain: OH My God maybe it's him! Lock the door Randy!
Randy: No he can help us!
Randy goes running out the door towards Kevin before Brain can stop her.
Brain: Damit! Brain runs for the phone to call 911. Randy goes running over to a half naked Kevin. Kevin is just standing there looking dazed.
Randy: Kevin help us help us!
Kevin is startled by the sudden noise and looks at Randy.
Kevin: Randy? Where am I what are you doing here?
Kevin scratches his head looking around in total confusion.
Randy pulls on his hand tears streaming down her face
Randy: Kevin please PLEASE!
Randy's frantic screams and tear stained face finally get his attention. He places his hands on her shoulders.
Kevin: Randy what is it what's wrong?
Brain calls from the door
Brain: The Ambulance and police are on their way! Randy get in here I need your help!
Randy: Someone stabbed our parents!
Kevin goes ghost white
Kevin: WHAT!
Randy: Please don't let them die
Randy weeps
Kevin goes charging into the house with Randy at his heals. He gasps in horror at the sight of Eve covered in blood with the knife in her chest and the red J on the wall. Kevin's first instinct is to take his shirt off but he isn't wearing one
Kevin: Brian give me your shirt!
Brain hands it to Kevin who falls to his knees and tries to secure the knife and hold pressure on the wound.
Kevin: Brain where is your father?!
Brain: He's been stabbed to he's in the living room!
Kevin: Okay take a dish towel go do the same thing I'm doing with your father! And breath into his mouth if he's not breathing!
Brain grabs the towel and leaves.
Kevin: Randy breath into her mouth now!
Randy starts breathing for her mother. The sirens can be heard as they approach the fire house. Kevin holds the knife in place as a hundred and one thoughts race through his head.

Alison: That makes two dead.
She shakes her head sadly.
Courtney: Yeah and how many more will have to be before your husband stops this monster!
Frank: Courtney that's enough! I'm sure Jamual feels horrible about this. It's not his fault he can't just arrest anyone he has to make sure it's the right person.
Alison: Jamual has been working major overtime on this. He won't stop till he finds the killer.
Frankie: But who else has to die in the meantime!
Angel: Hopefully no one. Come on we can't take out our anger on Jamual.
Neil: Angel is right he's doing the best he can no one could be doing more.

Mac and Felica are sitting down in the cafiteria having a bite to eat.
Felica: This just seems so unreal.
Mac shakes his head sadly
Mac: I know I know. You know when we found out it was Kevin who was stalking you all those years ago I thought I couldn't feel anyworse but now.
Mac just shakes his head.
Felica: Mac come on you don't really think he did this!
Mac: Felica he's having black outs, and coming to near stabbed bodies. At the very least he's having a break down.
Felica: Having a break down is a far cry from killing someone. And while Kevin maybe capable of alot he is not capable of murder.
Mac: You sure about that?
Felica sighs
Felica: As upset and angry as I was when I found out it was Kevin who was stalking me the one thing I knew with out even being told was that he'd never have actualy hurt me. Mac he had a knife he had me pined up against the door he pulled the knife back but he couldn't fallow though he put the knife through the door.
Mac: Because of Lucy
Felica smiles and shakes her head
Felica: No because he dosn't have it in him. Yes Lucy was able to calm him down but there was no one stoping him from hurting me. He stoped himself. And further more from what I've learned about what happend after I left Kevin was trying to protect us from what he thought was in the bathroom. He didn't want me going in the bathroom cause he thought I'd be hurt.
Mac: How come you didn't say any of this then?
Felica: I was hurt, angry, scared, confused, and feeling very betrayed. Also there was alot of stuff that I didn't know then. I wasn't clued in into alot of it till after Kevin became canitonic.
Mac: I hope you're right. But Felica at the very least he is loosing his mind.
Felica: How so?
Mac: Felica he swears Rachel called him today and told him she was going to make him pay for killing her. Then he saw her face on the TV and couldn't get it to turn off. He then saw Lucy and Frank and the TV asking him why he did it. Then he saw Ryan taunting him in the mirror. He is clearly loosing his mind.
Felica gets goose bumps and shivers
Mac: It is scary isn't it.
Felica: Mac dosn't any of that sound formilure to you?
Mac looks confused
Mac: What do you mean?
Just then Mac gets paged.
Mac: Hold that thought I need to make a call.
He kisses her and hurries off to a phone. Felica sits there her thoughts racing.
Felica: Oh Kevin I wonder. . . 

In Lucy's room Hope, Faith, Serena, Brian, and Randy waite for word on Scott.
Randy: I just don't understand any of this.
Randy starts crying. Lucy reaches out to her and pulls her close. Gently stroking her dark hair as Randy cries.
Lucy: I know I know this is a nightmare I know.
Brian: Do you think they'll ever catch the person who did this?
Faith puts her arm around Brain
Faith: ofcourse they will, Jamual is the best and he'll get to the bottem of this.
Brian: Even if it's your father
Brian pulls away looking angry Hope jumps up
Hope: How dare you excuse him of such a thing!
Brian: Why was he in our back yard! Why dosn't he have an alibi!
Hope: Listen you little ungreatful brat! If it weren't for my Dad both your parants might be dead now!
Serena: Enough! Brian I understand where your concerns are coming from but I'd be willing to bet my life that it's not Kevin. I've known him since I was a little girl.
Randy wipes her face
Randy: Yeah besides don't forget he used to be married to our mom.
Brian: What about his stalking days.
Faith: He never hurt her he couldn't.
Brian sighs
Brian: I'm sorry it's just
Brian starts crying Lucy holds her arms out to him and hugs him tightly.
Lucy: It's just you want anwsers I know we all do.
Just then Karen comes in.
Karen: Hi everyone
Everybody jumps
Randy: Karen is Dad okay?
Serena: Is he out of surgery?
Brian: Can we see him?
Just then Neil comes running in
Neil: Serena!
He pulls her close and hugs her tightly.
Neil: What's going on?
Serena: Karen is about to tell us.
Karen: He's out of surgery and is doing well.
Everyone breaths a sigh of relief
Lucy: So he is going to be okay?
Karen: Well we won't know for a few more hours his heart was damaged but so far everything is looking good.
Everyone nods. Just then Lucky comes in fallowed by Jamual and Alison.
Lucy: Lucky! How is Kevin?!
Lucky: He's resting comfortibly his helucinations seem to have stopped for the time being.
Hope: Can he come home soon?
Brian: Jamual have you found anything?
Lucky: Well if he dose okay through the night then possibly but I'll need to reavalute him in the morning before I can decide.
Jamual: I''m afriad as of yet we have no new leads. But i''m going to be working round the clock to find something.
Everyone nods
Lucy: Lucky is it a break down?
Lucky: Something is clearly going on but it may be managable. I want to try him on some different medications before and do some intence theripy before I jump to any conclusions
Everyone nods.
Karen: Not to interupt but I think when Scott comes to some of us need to be there.
Serena: Well guys come on you heard her.
Serena bends down and kisses Lucy then puts her arm around Randy and the other around Brian:
Serena: Lucy we'll be back later okay
Lucy nods
Lucy: Give Scott a hug for me okay
Serena: Will do
Neil: I'll come with you
Karen: Lucy I'll check on you later okay
Lucy: Okay
they head out
Lucky, Jamual and Alison head out as well. In the hall Serena calls out to Jamual.
Serena: Jamual do you have a second
Jamual: Yeah sure what's up?
Serena: Jamual this may sound strange but I don't think any of your suspects at the moment are the culprit of this.
Jamual looks intreaged
Jamual: What do you mean?
Serena: I mean the motive and anger nesisary for these crimes are lacking in all of the suspects. Also the J seems to have some significance and there is none with any of the suspects. I think one of two things is going on. Either A the suspects are just at the wrong place at the wrong time or B the real killer is setting one or more of them up to either throw you off course or to get revenge on one or more of the suspects.
Jamual and Alison look at each other.
Jamual: Any thoughts on who?
Serena: I think the riddle is this. Who hates the people who have been stabbed and the suspects or at least the maine suspect at the moment. Think about it.
Serena runs to catch up with her siblings. Jamual and Alison look at each other.
Alison: It would make sence
Jamual: Well it's sertenly an angle that deserves to be looked at. I'm not having much succses with the one I am looking at. I'd better get to the station.
They kiss and Jamual heads off. 

Back in Lucy's room Hope and Faith sit quietly with Lucy
Hope: He didn't do it he just didn't
Lucy: You're right he didn't but he may be having a break down.
Faith: What does that mean?
Lucy sighs
Lucy: It means that he is going to need all the love and support we can give him.
Faith: Maybe I should go sit with him
Lucy smiles
Lucy: I'm sure he'd like that.
Hope: Give him a hug for me okay
Faith: sure
Faith hugs her mom and sister and runs off. 

Rose is reading upstairs and Joseph is playing video games when Gabreila gets home.
Gabreila: Hey guys I home! How was everyone's day?
Joseph: Hey Mom! I got an A on the project Uncle Frank helped me with!
Gabreila: That's great sweet heart we'll have to celebrate.
Rose: I got the part of Juliet In the school play!
Gabreilla: Oh Huney that's wonderful! Sounds like everyone had a good day.
Gabreilla starts going through the mail.
Joseph: How is Lucy?
Gabreilla: Oh she's going to be just fine sweet heart.
Joseph: That's good.
Gabreilla finds Joe's letter.
Gabreilla: Hmm what's this?
She begins to read.
Gabreilla
I am not the same man you married. I have changed as have you. I wish we could get back what we once had but I don't know how we can. Our love is gone it has been for sometime. I think it's time we stoped living a lie. You and the kids deserve better. You'll be better off this way we all will be.
Goodbye
Joe
Gabreilla has tears in her eyes as she fineshes the letter.
Gabreilla: He puts me through years of nothing but garbage and this is the thanks I get! A dear Jane letter! Is that all our love is worth to him!
She flings the letter across the room. Then wipes her face as she takes several deep breaths trying to controle herself.
Gabreilla: That's enough Gabby if that's all you are worth to him, if he isn't willing to fight then you don't need him. You and the kids will be just fine. Rose Joseph! Get down here! Grab your coats lets move!
Joseph: Where are we going?
Gabreilla: We're having pizza for dinner and then are going to go see that new action movie come on!
Joseph: Cool!
Rose: Alright!
The kids come charging down stairs with there coats Gabby smiles trying to hide her tears.
Rose: But how come?
Gabreilla: Because I feel like it that's why now lets go.
They head out. 

Karen, Serena, Neil, Randy, and Brian stand solumly around Scott's bed as he sleeps.
Randy: He looks so weak. I've never seen him like this.
Serena hugs her
Serena: I know I know, he was always my big hero.
Brian: You think he can hear us?
Karen: I believe he can. You know he's tough, he can pull through this.
Neil: Oh absolutly. Scott is one of the toughest guys I know.
Brian: How do we tell him about
Brian gets chocked up.
Karen hugs her brother
Karen: Very gently.
Randy: I just can't believe she's gone. I mean how can my Mom be dead.
Randy walks quietly over to the window tears streaming down her face. She gazes up at the sky studying it carefully.
Serena: It's going to be hard for him
Serena shakes her head sadly.
Serena: It took him so long to love again.
Karen hugs her
Karen: I know I know but he won't be alone. He'll have us and he will intime move on.
Suddenly Raandy laughs sadly
Randy: What the heck am I doing!
Serena walks up behind her knowingly.
Serena: I think it's right there
She points to a star right next to her mothers.
Serena: Yeah that has to be your Mom's star.
Randy tries to smile.
Randy: What do I do with it.
Serena: You talk to her. You tell her how you feel, what your thinking, what your wishing, anything and everything. She can hear you and she'll always be with you Randy this I know.
Randy looks up at her sister hopefully
Randy: Promis
Serena smiles
Serena: promis.
Then with their arms around one anuther they stair up at their mother's stars. 

Chris is at his apartment after going home to get a change of clothes for Karen. The kids have been sent to a friends house for the night. Chris is drinking a martiney as he stands infront of the fire place. He remembers his first Christmas in PC when he and Eve had thrown orniments in the fire. That and a thousand other memories of his friend flud his mind. A solitairy tear slides down his face.
Chris: Goodbye my friend!
He takes a drink and throws the glass into the fire.

Chapter 10
The morning sun streams into Kevin's hospital room as Kevin sleeps peaceful with Faith sitting diligently at his side holding is hand. Kevin's eyes suddenly flutter open. Faith smiles at her father lovingly
Faith: Hi Dad how did you sleep?
Kevin smiles at his daughter
Kevin: OKay I guess.
He then remembers the events that led him here.
Kevin: Oh My God Eve and Scott! Are they okay? What's going on?
Kevin sits up his heart pounding. Faith gently rests her hands on her Dad's shoulders.
Faith: Dad come on now you need to relax. Everything is going to be okay just calm down.
Kevin: But. . .
Faith shakes her head
Faith: Listen to me okay you need to stay calm. Lucky is going to come by in a bit and if he thinks you're stable enough you can come home today okay. He thinks that what ever is causing this can be handled with theripy and possibly medication.
Kevin: But what about Scott and Eve. I need to knw how they are.
Faith sighs
Faith: Well Scott is doing fine. He came through surgery with flying collors and is expected to make a full recovery. The damage to his heart was not nearly as suvear as origenally thought.
Kevin sighs with some relief
Faith: You know Dad I know you're worried about your friends but you really need to focus on yourself right now.
Kevin: How can I if
He trails off Faith catches on quickly
Faith: Hey you listen to me I'm not going to just sit here and let you acuse yourself of something we all know there is no way you could have done.
Kevin sighs
Kevin: But Faith
Faith: But nothing, no one thinks for one second you did this it's not in you so you just get that through your head. Now do you want me to get Mom down here to tell you again she dosn't want you blaiming yourself? Cause I'll go get her, and I'm sure she won't be happy to hear your still thinking like this.
Kevin half smiles and shakes his head then sighs
Kevin: No she woudn't be happy with that at all. You're alot like your mom you know that.
Faith laughs
Faith: I thought that was Hope
Kevin: Personality yes it is but in terms of heart and knowing what to say to me you are clearly your mothers daughter.
Faith smiles
Faith: Well then you know I''m not going to take no for an anwser here. Repeate after me I am not responsible for any of this
Kevin: Faith
Faith: I can get Mom down here real easy and it probubly wouldn't be good for her to be up and around so soon after surgery.
Kevin sighs
Kevin: Okay I am not responsible for any of this.
Faith smiles
Faith: Very good
Kevin: So how is Eve doing?
Faith hesitates not sure what exactly to say she looks down then out the window
Kevin: Faith is Eve okay?
Faith takes a deep breath
Faith: Eve's heart was so damaged
Faith shakes her head sadly
Faith: they couldn't help her.
Kevin stairs at Faith in disbelief as what she has just said sinks in
Kevin: Oh My God I how I don't Oh My God I can't believe this has happend!
Faith squezes her Dad's hand
Faith: I know it's hard to believe she's gone. She was a good doctor and a nice lady she didn't deserve this. But I''m sure Jamual will capture the person who did this I just know it.
Kevin wipes his face as a tear runs down it
Faith: You still loved her a bit didn't you.
Kevin considers this question
Kevin: I love your Mother she is part of me. There is no me with out her. However I cared very deeply for Eve. You can't be that close to someone for that long and not continue to care for them even after you are apart.
Faith nods
Faith: Like Mom still cares for Scott
Kevin nods
Kevin: I just hope it wasn't. .
Faith: Hey none of that remember! You are not responsible for any of this! You said it yourself you care there for you couldn't have done this.
Kevin: I cared about Felica to.
Faith sighs
Felica: And you never hurt me
They both jump at the sudden noise. They turn and Felica is standing at the door.
Felica: I'm sorry to interupt I can come back if now isn't a good time.
Kevin: No come on in that's fine.
Faith: I should go check on Mom anyway.
Felica: How is she doing?
Faith smiles
Faith: She's doing great she'll be able to go home in a few days. I guess we should have known she'd be okay she's such a force of nature.
Felica: When Lucy sets her mind to something she sertenly gets it done dosn't she.
Faith nods she hugs her Dad
Faith: I'll check back on you in a bit
Kevin: Okay give your mother my love
Faith: Will do
Felica: Tell Lucy I am glad she's doing well
Faith: Sure thing
Faith leaves the room.
Kevin: Hi
Felica: Hi can I sit down
Kevin: Yeah sure
Kevin indicates a chair by his bed Felica sits down
Kevin: I guess you heard about what is going on.
Kevin shakes his head sadly.
Felica: Yes I did and that's one of the reasons I'm here
Kevin: You think it's me to don't you.
Felica takes his hand
Felica: No actually it's just the opiset I'm sure it's not you and I''m going to prove it.
Kevin looks at Felica a bit surprised and confused
Kevin: What do you mean?
Felica: Kevin this case needs to get solved now before anyone else gets hurt or killed so I'm going to be doing my own investigation.
Kevin smiles
Kevin: Well then I'm sure the killer will be found. But how do you know it isn't me. I would think you of all people would think it was me.
Felica: Actualy Kevin it's because of our history that I know it wasn't you. I was telling Mac yesturday even at your worst you weren't able to carry through with hurting me it's not in you.
Kevin: How can you be so sure.
Felica smiles
Felica: You don't remember do you
Kevin looks confused
Felica: Okay we were in the house at Jasmin Island I ran for the door but accidently headed for the bathroom door instead of the door going outside. You grabed me and put a knife in the door.
Kevin: I could have killed you
Felica: No Kevin at the time I thought you missed by accident but after I found out what your breakdown was all about, and the significance of the bathroom I figured it out
Kevin looks confused
Felica: You weren't trying to stab me you were trying to protect me from what you thought was in the bathroom. Dont you see Kevin even at your worst you were just trying to protect. You are not never have been and never will be your brother.
Kevin smiles with tears in his eyes
Kevin: I never thought about it that way
Felica smiles
Felica: I figured you hadn't which is one of the reasons I came by today.
Kevin smiles weekly
Kevin: Thanks Felica I appriceate that. But you know I am loosing my mind again.
Felica smiles
Felica: I once read if you think you're loosing your mind you're probubly not.
Kevin: Did you hear what I think I saw and heard
Felica nods
Felica: Yes and it sounds very formilure.
Kevin looks confused
Felica: I don't have any proof yet but if you let me search the light house I maybe able to explain what happend yesturday.
Kevin: Well okay but what are you looking for? Hasn't Jamual searched it?
Felica: Yes he has but he dosn't know what to look for. Now it's just a hunch I have but what is happening to you sounds very simelure to something I was involved in along time ago. Untill I have more facts I don't want to tell you anything. Right now it's all speculation. But if I''m right then you are not loosing your mind at all.
Kevin: Really?
Felica smiles
Felica: Really now I need to go I'll let you know what I find okay
Kevin: Okay
Felica: And Kevin you are a good person never doubt that
She hugs him and leaves
Kevin smiles
Kevin: Well I don't know about that but I sertenly have good friends 
Serena is standing at the window looking out over the hospital courtyard. She sighs sadly
Serena: The world just dosn't stop dose it.
Neil comes up behind her and puts his arms around her
Neil: You'd think it would wouldn't you. You'd think it would feel different or at the very least look different after something like this.
Serena: But it never dose
Neil: Maybe that's a blessing. I mean it's hard enough to move on with everything the same. If we had to reajust with everything being different it would just be that much harder.
Serena sighs sadly and turns twords Neil with tears in her eyes.
Serena: I just don't know how my Dad is going to get through this. It took him so long to move on after my Mom. Neil I'm afriad for him I don't know what this is going to do to him.
Neil: Hey your Dad is strong and it's not like he's alone
Serena: But how much loss and heart ache is one person supposed to have to live through!
Neil: Serena I know your Dad has been through alot but he has also had alot of happiness he's not going to just forget about that.
Serena half smiles
Serena: I hope you're right
Neil pulls her close and hugs her tightly. Karen stirs in the chair she has spent the night in. She sits up and looks around.
Karen: Has he woken up yet?
Serena: No nothing so far.
Karen: Well he will I just know it.
Serena: Karen how are we going to tell him.
Karen: Well I think we just go with the flow. You know when he wakes up just go with the natural flow of the coversation and tell him very gently but be very upfront with him about it. That's how he's always been with us I think that's how we should be with him
Serena nods
Serena: I'm so glad I have you around Karen. Have I told you that lately? I'm so glad you're my sister and I love you so much.
Karen smiles with tears in her eyes and hugs Serena. Well I'm glad to have you as my sister and I love you to. As for being there well that's what family is all about.
Brian sits up on the cot he has been sleeping on and looks around sadly. Then wipes his face
Brian: It really is true isn't it. I didn't dream this my Mom is gone isn't she.
Brian starts crying. Neil hugs him.
Neil: I''m sorry Brian but yes she is. But you know she'll always be with you just like Serena's mom is always with her. I know it's not the same but it's something
Brian: Has Dad woken up yet?
Karen: No not yet but he will soon.
Randy who fell asleep with her head resting on her Dad's bed moves around a little. She sighs sadly
Randy: For a minute there I thought I'd dreamed it.
Brian: Yeah so did I.
Randy: I can't imagen what our lives are going to be like now.
Brian: I don't want to imagen it.
Serena: Well they'll be different. You'll have more responsibilities around the house probubly, but they won't be bad.
Karen: Serena is right you'll be sad for awhile but as time gose on the differences will just become normal.
Randy: I'm not sure I want things to become normal. I mean isn't that unfair to Mom.
Serena: Not at all infact knowing your Mom she'd be pretty upset if you tried to put your life on hold or tried not to move on. Your mom like mine only wanted the best life had to offer for you. The best way you can honner your Mom's memory is to live life to the fullest.
Brian: I think she's right. I don't like it but that dose sound like Mom
Randy nods. Just then Scott grunts
Randy: Dad!
Karen, Neil and Serena run over to him.
Karen: Dad it's Karen can you here me?
Serena: Dad squeze my hand
Neil: Come on Scott time to open your eyes.
Brian: Dad please wake up say something!
Randy: Dad can you hear us?
Scott's eyes flutter open
Scott: What's going on?
Scott tries to move then groans in pain.
Karen: Dad please stay still okay. You're at GH in ICU you've been through alot just relax okay
Serena: Do you remember what happend?
Scott shakes his head no
Scott: No I came home after seeing Lucy, What time is it? Where is Eve?
Randy starts to cry Brian hugs his sister supportively
Neil: Scott you were stabbed but you're going to be okay
Scott: What! I can't believe this!
Karen: Dad please calm down it's going to be okay. They got you to the hospital very fast and you're doing great. As for the attacker Jamual is on the case and I have every confidence he will find the person who did this.
Scott: It's the same nut who stabbed Lucy isn't it.
Randy: They think so
Brian: Yeah the red J was there
Serena: The kids found you
Scott looks at Brian and Randy
Scott: I'm so sorry you kids had to go through that. Are you okay?
He reaches out for them taking their hands
Randy: Yeah we're hanging in there
Brian: I'm just glad you're awake.
Scott: Well it's going to take alot more then some loon to take me away from my family. Hey don't look so upset I'm going to be fine. So where is your Mom. She must be a reck.
Brian and Randy look at each other not sure what to say. Serena clears her throat and takes Scott's hand in hers.
Serena: Dad we have something very awful to tell you. Now before I tell you I want to stress that you are in no way alone. We all love you and we are going to get through this together because we're a family and that's how family works.
Scott looks very uneasy
Scott: Where is Eve
Karen: Scott there is no easy way to tell you this so I'm just going to say it. After all you've always been streight with us so I think you deserve nothing less from us. You weren't the only one stabbed.
Randy: The attacker stabbed Mom two
Scott sits strieght up they all try to restrain him
Scott: WHAT!! She's okay though right? Can I go see her? Where is she?!
Serena: Dad she's gone I'm so sorry.
The color drains from Scott's face as the awful truth sinks in.
Scott NO!! NO NOT MY EVE NOOOOOOO!!!! PLEASE GOD NOOOO
Scott desolves into mornful sobs as his children all gather around him huging him and crying. 

Joe wakes up in a cheep motel with a killer hang over. He rubs his face tiredly and groans. He looks around the room sadly and sighs. Then slowly drags hinself to the bathroom and splashes water on his face. He stairs at himself in the mirror for a minute. Then from somewhere inside he hears Franks voice
Frank: I never thought I'd see the day when you'd turn into Dad!
Joe snorts
Joe: I'm nothing like that jerk! I'm not!
He stumbles out of the bathroom and back to the bed. Then grabs a half empty bottle of bear. As he stairs at it he hears Franks voice again
Frank: I never thought I'd see the day when you'd turn into Dad!
Joe's mind flashes to a time long ago. He sees his own father getting drunk and screeming. He sees his Dad hurt Frank and himself. Then walking out on the family time and again. Joe remembers flinging Joseph across the room, and screeming at Rose. Joe's eyes fill with tears.
Joe: Oh My God I am my father.
He burries his face in his hands and cries. Then takes a deep breath grabs his coat and runs out the door. 

Gabreilla stands sadly at her bed room window stairing down at the empty street. She stairs down at her wedding ring and flashes back to her wedding day and sighs sadly.
Gabby: Maybe my brother was right. Maybe I should have run the other way when I saw you coming. Now look at me a middle aged woman with two half grown kids no relationship with my family and no husband.
She shakes her head
Gabby: What was the point.
She walks over to her dresser and picks up a picture of them taken not long after they had started dating. She half laughs and shakes her head
Gabreilla: After the start we had I figured we were invincable. I guess I was wrong.
Just then there is a nock at the door. Gabreilla rubs her face trying to wipe away the tears that have been falling through the night.
Gabreilla: Come in
Rose and Joseph enter quitly. Gabriella tries to smile
Gabreilla: Hey kids what's up? Look at all that snow out there, looks like a snow day to me.
Joseph and Rose half smile. Gabriella looks at them with concern
Gabreilla: Hey why all the sad faces? What a day of hot chocolate, video games and scary movies suddenly dosn't apeal to you?
Rose: No no that sounds great it's just uh well
Joseph: Rose and I wanted to surprise you and Dad with breakfast so we were down in the kitchen.
Rose: I accidently knocked a pile of papers on the floor and when I was picking them up I noticed this.
She hands Gabreilla a crompled up peace of paper. Gabreilla opens it and sighs it's Joe's goodbye letter
Joseph: Did he really leave us?
Rose: Why dosn't he love us anymore?
Rose starts crying
Joseph: Did he ever love us
Gabreilla gose to her children and pulls them in close in a firm hug.
Gabreilla: Ofcourse he loves you and he always will
Joseph: Well he's got a funny way of showing it
Rose: Then why did he leave?
Gabriella takes her children by the hands and leads them over to her bed
Gabriella: Come on sit down with me. First off your father has always loved you and despite his current behavior I have no doubt he will always love you. It's just that your father has a whole lot of problems. Sometimes those problems keep him from being the father he wants to be.
Rose: Like his drinking?
Gabreilla: That's part of it. His temper is also a factor. You know sometimes people have to go away and figure things out. I think that's what your Dad has done
Joseph: Do you think he'll come home?
Gabreilla sighs sadly
Gabreilla: He will always be your Dad and love you but sweet heart I don't think he'll ever live here again. Your father and I just don't work anymore but that dosn't change how he feels about either of you okay.
They nod sadly
Rose: This really stinks
Gabriella: Yes it dose but you know what life gose on and things will be okay I promis.
She hugs Rose
Joseph: I'm glad we still have you Mom
Joseph hugs her Gabreilla smiles
Gabreilla: Well you are going to have me for a very long long time. So how about we go make some waffles and hot chocolate
Rose smiles
Rose: That sounds nice
Joseph: Can we put chocolate chips in the waffles
Gabreilla smiles
Gabreilla: Why not
The three some head down stairs together 

Hope and Faith sit by their mothers bedside.
Lucy: So how is your Dad doing? Is he calmer? Has Lucky been to see him yet?
Faith: Well he seemed to sleep well and so far this smorning he hasn't had any hulucinations
Lucy: Well that's good then that means he's doing better.
Faith nods
Faith: Lucky hasn't been by yet but will be soon I'm guessing. Dad is still kind of blaiming himself but I told him to stop it. I'm not sure if he listend though
Lucy shakes her head sadly.
Lucy: Poor Doc he's always had such a guilty conscience. I hope Lucky can help him.
Lucy looks worried. Faith squezes her hand
Faith: I'm sure Dad will be fine he has us after all.
Hope: Dad always has blamed himself for everything. I remember when I was first learning to drive I acidently hit our mail box. Somehow Dad felt this was his fault cause he had the mail box to close to the street. Go figure
They all get a much needed chuckle from this
Faith: Or what about the time Mom was buzy so Dad had to take me to get my hair done for the freshman dance. The place I usually go was closed so Dad took me to anuther place and I got that awful cut. Dad was convinced if he had taken me earlier in the day it would have been open.
They all laugh
Lucy: Sometimes I think your father likes feeling guilty.
Hope: it sertenly seems like it.
Faith: Well the important thing is his friends and family know he isn't responsible for this. Even Felica knows that.
Lucy: What do you mean?
Faith: Well right before I left she showed up to see Dad, she says hi by the way. Anywho it was very clear that she had no doubts about Dad's inocents.
Lucy smiles
Lucy: I'm glad
Faith: Me to I''m kind of hopeing she starts investigating since she's such a good PI.
Hope: Oh that would be great!
Lucy: Yes it would you know there has yet to be a case she's taken that she hasn't solved.
They all nod 

Mac and Felica are at the light house about to go in
Mac: Tell me again why we are here?
Felica sighs as she retrieves the spare key from under the welcome mat
Felica: Because Kevin is our friend and he deserves our help.
Mac: And searching his place is helping him buy?
Felica: By helping to show he's being set up.
Felica opens to door
Mac: Jamual already searched the place if there was anything to be found don't you think he would have found it?
Felica: If he new what he was looking for.
Mac: You don't think he dose?
Felica walks into the living room
Felica: There is no way he could.
Mac: Because?
Felica: Because only people directly involved with helping us bring down Ryan woud know what to look for.
Mac: What the hell dose Ryan have to do with this
Felica smiles patiently
Felica: Mac think please, phone calls from the dead? visions of dead people talking to him in the TV? Dosn't any of that sound formilure? Now if my hunch is right we won't have to look very hard to find what we're looking for. You check the phone I'll check the TV.
Mac still unserten shakes his head and gose over to the phone. Felica meantime gose twords the TV and moves it away from the wall.
Felica: Oh My God pay dirt! Mac Mac come over here!
Mac comes over quickly and stairs in disbelief. Behind the TV monitor is a small video and tape recorder that is hoocked directly into the TV.
Mac: I don't believe this.
Felica: I wonder
Felica checks to see if the vidoe tape recorder is on seeing that it is she turns on the TV and instantly Rachel appears on the screen. Soon Frank and then Lucy appear as well. Mac angrily unplugs the recorder
Mac: DAMIT!
Felica: Mac it's okay
Mac: No it's not Felica no it's not! It's one thing to make a phsyco like Chamberlin think he's crazy but Kevin KEVIN! That man is like a brother to me!
Felica: I know he is I know
Felica places her hand on his arm reasuringly
Felica: And now that we know he's being set up we can find out buy who and probubly who the killer is as well.
Mac sighs and rubs his face.
Mac: Yeah you're right.
He shakes his head in discust.
Mac: it just gose to show you what can happen when technoligy falls into the wrong hands. I'm going to call Jamual
Felica: Okay I'll check the phone and see what's going on with the TV upstairs.
Mac nods then takes her by the arm
Mac: Hey have I told you lately how much I love you?
Felica: Not nearly enough
Mac: Well let me correct that right now
He pulls her close and kisses her tenderly
Felica: Thanks for the reminder.
Mac: Anytime
Felica heads twords the phone as Mac call Jamual. 

Joe has been driving around now for hours not sure where he is going or why. He ends up at a local comunity center. Something inside of him makes him pull up and go in. As he enters he sees a sign on the wall and a group of people going into a room for a meeting. Joe takes a deep breath as Franks words ring once more in his head. He slowly gose into the room with the others. Soon a man comes up to the podeum.
Mr. Tomarrow: Good day everyone for those of you who don't know I'm Mr. Tomarrow and the head of this group. I see we have some new faces here. Would anyone like to introduce themselves.
Joe feels his stomach tighten as his heart pounds in his head. His first instinct is to leave but then He thinks of Gabby and the kids and stands up.
Joe: Yes I'd like to
Mr. Tomarrow: Go ahead
Joe: My name is Joe Scanlon and I'm an alcoholic. 

Chris is standing at the nurses station going over some files when the phone rings.
Chris: Hello?
Mr. Sneeck: Dr. Ramsey it's Mr. Sneeck
Chris: Well that was quick. So you got something for me?
Mr. Sneeck: I sure do
Chris's heart begins to race
Chris: Well what is it!
Mr. Sneeck: Well I've been digging through all kinds of papers since you called and I found a death sertificate
Chris gose pale
Chris: Who's?!
Mr. Sneeck: A Julie Ramsey
Chris nearly drops the phone but pulls himself together quickly.
Chris: Are you sure? Where? When? How? Is it ligit?
Mr. Sneeck: Sure as can be it was right there in black and white and it was in the public records so it better be liget.
Chris rubs his face trying to take the news in
Chris: OKay how did she die?
Mr. Sneeck: She died of breast cancer somewhere in the middle of Austraila.
Chris: Austraila! Well that is one place they didn't look. OKay when did this happen? Was there any traise of the other person I had you looking for?
Mr. Sneeck: She died about a year ago. As for the Christina person you had me looking for there were no records on her. I did call the local officials in the village where Julie had died and found out that a young girl who they believed was named Christina lived with Julie and had disapeared not long after her death.
Chris: What do you mean disapeared!
Mr. Sneeck: Just what I said. Julie and Christina were very quite and solitairy people. They never really interacted with anyone. Julie didn't even seek treatment for her cancer. She just stayed in her house with Christina by her side. The only reason they even know Christina was Julie's daughter is because at the serves several people heard Christina call her Mom when she way saying goodbye. Seems like they were all they had in this world.
Chris takes a deep breath.
Chris: OKay listen I want you to devote all of your energy on finding Christina okay I don't care what it takes just find her!
Mr. Sneeck: How come?
Chris: Because I said so that's why! Now get to work
Chris slams down the phone. He takes a few deep breaths trying to proses what he's just learned and rubs his face.
Chris: Oh Julie I do hope you have found some peace. I promis I'll find Christina and do what ever I can for her. 

Jamual, Alison, Mac and Felica are now all at the light house.
Jamual: This is quite a break in the case you found for us Felica thankyou.
Felica smiles
Felica: All in a days work
Alison: So let me get this streight someone is doing to Kevin what you did to Ryan years ago?
Mac: It looks that way
Jamual: So if we find them we'll probubly find the killer. This sertenly helps us
Alison: It sure dose we now at least have a motive. Who ever is doing this is after Kevin.
Faith: Who is after my Dad?
Kevin: What's going on here?
Everyone turns and sees Faith and Kevin standing at the door.

Kevin and Faith enter the lighthouse looking at the foursome in their living room cureusly
Kevin: What is going on here?
Faith: Why is someone after my Dad?
Felica runs over and hugs a surprised Kevin.
Felica: Kevin we have some great news for you.
Mac smiles
Mac: We sure do mate
Kevin: What is it?
Faith: We sertenly could use some of that.
Jamual: Felica has found a lead in the case
Kevin: What! Felica that's wonderful! What's the lead?
Felica: We have a movtive or at least a pretty good idea of a motive now.
Mac: It seems who ever has been comitting the murders is trying to get to you.
Faith: That's awful! But why?
Kevin: Are you sure about this?
Felica nods
Felica: Remeber when I told you earlier that all this stuff you have been seeing and hearing sounds very formilure?
Kevin nods
Felica: Well I brought Mac over here and we searched the house and guess what, my hunch played out just like I figured it.
Kevin: What do you mean how so?
Mac comes over and puts his arm around Kevin
Mac: You know mate technology is a wonderful thing but in the wrong hands it can be awful.
Felica: Years ago when Mac and I were trying to prove Ryan was a killer we did something simelure to get him to confess. We hoocked his TV up to a tape recordor and camera so we could controle it. Then we made him think the people he killed were talking to him through the TV. We also had a tape on his phone and did a few other little tricks.
Faith: Wow! It sounds like that old movie gass lighting.
Mac: That's actually partly where we got the idea
Kevin: But what dose this have to do with me?
Felica: come over here
Felica leads them over to the TV.
Felica: Jamual let me leave this puged in so I could show it to you.
She indicates a tape recorder and camera on the back of the TV
Faith: What in the world!
Mac: We found this when we searched the place. It's off right now Kevin try to turn on the TV
Kevin turns it on and normaly changes the channels.
Kevin: It's fine
Felica nods
Felica: Yes but watch what happens when we turn this on.
Felica turns the power on
Felica: Now turn it on.
Kevin turns it back on but this time there is Rachel
Faith and Kevin gasp in horrer.
Kevin: Oh My God!
Faith: This is down right evil! Who would do such a thing!
Mac: The same person who would try to kill several people and succseed in killing two of them.
Kevin: And the phone
Alison: Same story a little tape recorder.
Kevin shakes his head in disbelief.
Kevin: I can't believe this I thought I was loosing my mind.
Mac: I know you did mate but hey the good news is your not
Faith: But why would anyone want to hurt my Dad like this?
Alison: Well that's the next thing we have to figure out.
Jamual: Once we get a handle on that we'll be very close to getting this loon.
Kevin turns to Felica with tears in his eyes
Kevin: Felica this person nearly drove me crazy I thought I was loosing my mind again. Ho can I ever repay you?
Felica smiles
Felica: Just helping a friend
They hug
Faith: But who would hate him that much! Rachel is dead, Cooper is dead, the only other person I can think of is. . .
Everyone lookos at each other as the thought occures to them.
Felica: Mac you don't think
Mac: It's posible
Jamual: It's more then possible given her dislike for Kevin
Alison: And she sertenly is smart enough to do all this
Kevin: It's Julie 
Chris is sitting in the oncall room trying to look over some papers but his mind keeps going back to that phone call. Chris shakes his head sadly then rubs his stiff neck
Chris: Gone I just can't believe it.
He sighs sadly reaches into his pocket and retrieves the ring he carries to this day.
Chris: I said I'd keep this ring till death did us part. I guess this is it.
He stairs at the ring sadly
Chris: I don't know how you've managed to stay so firmly in my heart all things considered but you really have.
He kisses the ring gose over and starts to put it in the trash. He thinks back to when she was in his arms. He half laughs
Chris: Even in death you still have ahold on me don't you. Funny I always thought I'd see you one more time.
Chris gose to his locker and puts the ring in it. Then closes it. Just then Karen walks in. Her eyes are red and puffy and she looks worn out. Chris gose to her his arms open wide
Chris: Hey you
He hugs her tightly Karen hugs him tightly right back
Karen: Oh that is deffinetly what the doctor ordered.
Chris smiles and brushes her hair back out of her face
Chris: Happy to do what I can for you my love
Karen smiles
Chris: So how is your Dad?
Karen sighs and plops down on the coutch.
Karen: Physicaly he's going to be fine the knife didn't do as much damage as we origenally thought. Emotionally
Karen shakes her head
Chris: He took the news about Eve pretty hard huh
Karen: He loved her Chris he loved her with everything he had. When my Dad loves he dosn't do it part way he dose it all the way.
Chris nods
Chris: It must be hell for him right now.
Karen nods
Karen: He was completly devistated. Serena, Neil, Randy, Brian and I just hugged him and we all cried together.
Chris: Well it's got to help him to know he's not alone. Come here let me help those tense shoulders.
Karen smiles as she turns around and Chris starts messeging her shoulders
Karen: Oh thankyou that feels so nice.
Chris: Well you're welcome anything for you my lady
Karen: I think it dose help him I think it helps all of us. You know Eve held such a special place in all of our hearts.
Chris sighs
Chris: I know she was one in a million I'm really going to miss her.
Karen nods
Karen: I know same here. I just hope they find who ever did this soon before anyone else gets hurt.
Chris: Yeah same here this has been such a nightmare. I sertenly hope it ends soon
Karen nods.
Karen: Speaking of the murders.
Karen turns twords Chris
Karen: Chris I am sorry to bring up a sensitive issue but It's been on my mind alot.
Chris: What?
Karen: Chris do you think it could be Julie? I mean think about it the people who have been hurt and killed are people she hated and it would explain the red J.
Chris sighs sadly and rubs his face
Karen: I know it's a hard thing for you to think about but
Chris: It's not her Karen I know it isn't.
Karen looks at Chris a bit surprised at the sertenty in his voice
Karen: How can you be so sure?
Chris: I was thinking the same thing to. I kept feeling like I'd been here before. So I hired a PI to see if he could find any kind of evidence that Julie was or wasn't near Port Charles just anything you know. Well he went through ever record there was to go through and he found a bonified death sertificate. She died a year ago Karen.
Karen gasps she stairs at Chris letting it sink in
Karen: Julie is dead? Are you sure? I mean couldn't it be a trick?
Chris: As far as I can tell yes. I don't think it is a trick my PI traced her last residents to a small village in Austraila and was able to confirm with a doctor at a clinic there that Julie died a year ago of cancer.
Karen shakes her head sadly
Karen: I oh Chris I'm sorry I know you still care about her.
Chris sighs
Chris: Mostly haunted by her it seems but yeah I think part of me always will
Karen nods sympatheticly
Karen: Wow Julie is gone It's so hard to believe.
Karen's face changes suddenly as a thought occures to her
Karen: Oh My God Christina! Chris where is she do you know? What's going on with her? Is she alive is she okay?!
Chris sighs
Chris: I wish I knew according to my PI she disapeared not long after Julie died and hasn't been seen or heard from since
Karen gasps
Karen: Disapeared! Oh My God what if she's hurt of sick?!
Chris takes Karen's hands in his
Chris: Karen I have a great PI on this and he's looking for her right now we just have to be paitent.
Karen sighs
Karen: This is unbelieveable. But she is healthy and okay right?
Chris: The PI didn't give alot of information he didn't have alot to give but yeah from what I gather she's fine.
Karen smiles
Karen: Chris this is a mirrical! We've lost Eve but we've found Christina! Oh this is such a blessing! Waite till everyone hears about this!
Karen jumps up excitedly. Chris stands up quickly to block her way and takes her hands in his
Chris: Karen I understand you want to go tell everyone but I''m not even sure my PI is going to find her. Besides that she is a grown woman now she may not want to come back here especially if Julie has made it sound bad. Remember Julie raised her so we have no idea what she is like now. I think till we find her we should just keep this quite. She isn't a child anymore Karen if she dosn't want to come to Port Charles or be reunited with anyone then we have to respect that.
Karen sighs sadly
Karen: You're right I mean for all we know she's not even still alive. But Chris if we find her then
Chris: Then we will tell but first we have to atleast find her.
Karen nods in agreement.
Karen: So now what?
Chris: Now how about we go get something to eat I'm starved.
Karen: Me to
Hand in hand they leave the oncall room. 

Joe pulls up slowly to the house he grew up in. He looks at the basket ball hoop all old and ragged still placed above the garadge. He remembers fondly the millions of games he played with Frank all those years ago. Joe shakes his head sadly.
Joe: Seems like only yesturday.
Joe gets out of the car and slowly makes his way to the door. He hesitaties not sure what he wants to do then takes a deep breath and knocks. Ffom inside he hears someone turn off the TV
Frank: Just a minute
Joe takes a deep breath, Frank opens the door and is surprised to say the least to see Joe of all people standing at his front door.
Frank: Uh Joe hi Uh I sure didn't expect to see you today
Joe half smiles
Joe: I didn't think this smorning I'd be here either but. . .
Joe trails off. Even after all these years of seperation Frank can tell that something is wrong and can't help but want to help.
Frank: You want to come in?
Joe: What? Oh yeah sure.
Joe fallows Frank in.
Joe: House sure is quite.
Frank: Yeah Courtney is at work. She's got a big wedding going on today. Angel is volinteering over at the hospital and Frankie is at basket ball practice. Uh you hungry? I just put a frozen pizza in the oven.
Joe nods
Joe: Yeah sure that sounds good.
Frank plops down on the couch Joe sits stiffly in a chair.
Frank: So what brings you by?
Joe figets a little and rubs his neck.
Joe: I Uh I have been thinking alot about what you said about me turning into Dad.
Frank: Joe look I know that hurt but I can't help but see
Joe puts his hand up
Joe: No no you were right. It hurt but it hurt cause you were right. I didn't want to admit it but I have become more like Dad then you even know.
Frank looks worriedly at Joe
Frank: What do you mean?
Joe takes a deep breath
Joe: My temper for starters. The other day I
Joe swallows a lump in his throat.
Frank: You what Joe?
Joe: I flung Joseph across the room
Frank sits streight up
Frank: You what! Is he okay!
Joe: Yeah yeah thankfully he's just fine. Physically anyway no telling what that did to him emotionally.
Frank looks at Joe's tormented face compasionetly.
Frank: Joe it's not to late go to him and tell him you're sorry and that you love him.
Joe: It's not that simple. I mean it is but it isn't. I walked out on Gabreilla yesturday.
Frank: WHY!
Joe looks down sadly
Joe: I don't deserve her like this Frank. Come on I've become a monster. I can't be with her right now
Frank: Joe listen to yourself. Did you make a simelure dession years ago when you thought you had HIV you pushed her away
Joe: I know I know but this is different.
Frank: How
Joe: Cause I can do something about this.
Frank: Meening?
Joe: Meening this smorning I walked into a meeting at the local comunity center stood up and admited that I'm an alcoholic.
Frank Stairs at Joe for a minute then smiles
Frank: I'm proud of you Joe admiting you have a problem is half the battle. You should be very proud of yourself.
Joe smiles
Joe: I am a bit I guess.
Frank: You should be. You should also tell Gabi
Joe: I plan to but I can't ask her to waite
Frank: Why not!
Joe: Cause she deserves better
Frank sighs
Frank: Joe that isn't your desision to make it's hers.
Joe: You know Mom kept taking Dad back everytime he'd promis he was changing and he never did.
Frank: Cause he never tried Joe you are trying
Joe: I just think it's better for the time being to stay away and I don't want Gabi to suffer.
Frank sighs
Frank: Joe she's suffering right now she thinks you don't love her anymore and she dosn't know you are trying to change. Waiting for you while you get help won't make her suffer it will make her happy and feel like the two of you have a chance. You know when I was batteling my addiction I think one reason I didn't want help was I didn't want anyone to get hurt but in the end it caused more hurt cause I didn't let people in. Don't make that mistake Joe
Joe shakes his head
Joe: You still give great advice don't you.
Frank smiles
Frank: I have three grown and one almost grown kids two adults who think of me as thier father and friends who depend on me I'd better be good at advice
They both chuckle.
Joe: So how are you feeling?
Frank: sighs
Frank: A little sore but over all okay. I go back to work in about a week. I would have gone back sooner but Courtney demanded I take some time off
Joe nods
Joe: It's probubly a good idea that you do
Frank: I supose. So you've told me what you're going to do about your alcohalisem but you haven't told me what you're going to do about your temper. You know that needs to be delt with Joe
Joe sighs
Joe: I know I've decided to bite the bullet and get some theripy.
Frank raises his eyebrow not sure if he heard right
Frank: You theripy?!
Joe: Yeah well I'm sertenly not looking forward to it but my life is falling apart so I'd better do something. Besides it's helped alot of people I know so who is to say it won't help me
Frank smiles
Frank: I think you've made the right choice Joe, and for the record I do think it will help.
Joe: Thanks, I'm going to go talk to Lucky after I leave here.
Frank nods
Frank: Sounds like a plan he's really the best.
Joe nods, then takes a deep breath his mind clearly ocupied.
Frank: Joe what's wrong I can tell something else is bothering you?
Joe: I don't know I guess I was thinking about this house and how close we used to be. You ever miss how things used to be?
Frank thinks and gets a distent look on his face
Frank: Yeah I do we used to be best friends. It's not something you easily forget. Sometimes I will catch myself thinking I should call you and we can go to a hocky game or something
Joe: I was watching the super bowl this year and I actually almost called you to see if you wanted to come over.
Frank: I would have liked that
Joe: Me to.
Frank: You know we don't have to be far apart. It's a choice we made so we can unmake it.
Joe nods
Joe: True.
Frank: Joe I know I haven't been a great brother but.
Joe: But either have I lets face it we are both to blaime here.
Frank nods
Joe: You want to try and forget the past?
Frank: If you want to.
Joe gets a lump in his throat.
Joe: Yeah I want to
Frank has tears in his eyes
Frank: Me to.
The brothers stand and hug then wipe their faces
Frank: Okay enough of this lets go get some of that pizza.
Joe: Sounds like a plan.
They head off to the kitchen. 

Lucy lays resting in her bed as Hope sits by her side.
Hope: Mom
Hope trails off looking very worried. Lucy gently takes her daughters hand
Lucy: What is it huney what's troubeling you?
Hope takes a deep breath and sighs
Hope: I know we are all suposed to give Dad our complete and full support, and I know we need to stand behind him but
Hope trials off. Lucy looks at her daughter closely
Lucy: But your having doubts?
Hope: Mom I hate to say this I really do I love Dad so much and I would hate to believe he could do any of this. But I just can't seem to shake the idea. I mean he's lost it before and done rather dispicable things, and don't forget his genetic make up. I mean his twin was a killer his mother a molester and his father was just plain out of it. Don't get me wrong Mom I love Dad with all my heart and I am not saying he could do this I'm just saying that I'm not sure he couldn't.
Hope stairs down at the floor.
Hope: I must sound just awful to you right now.
Lucy smiles understandingly at Hope.
Lucy: I know what you are saying and I do understand. It is sometimes hard to have absolut faith in people especially when you know less then pleasent things about their past.
Lucy takes Hope's hand in hers.
Lucy: But sweetie when it comes to your Dad I promis you he dose have his limets. He didn't do any of this. I have seen your father through his darkest moments and I can tell when something has or hasn't happend. He didn't do any of this.
Hope: Are you sure because you love him and don't want him to have or because you're sure.
Lucy considers this.
Lucy: I am sure cause I know him. In some ways I know him better then I know myself. Hope the thing you have to understand is the things that made Ryan crazy and the things that made your Dad crack are not genetic. They are and were caused by their mother. This means that it is correctible. Your father got help so what made him crack isn't going to happen again. Ryan stayed that way cause he never got the help he needed.
Hope: But isn't he cracking again.
Lucy sighs
Lucy: It seems like he might be but what ever is causing it can be fixed and because he's had so much help in the past it is doubtful that he'd ever get to the point you are talking about.
Hope: I hear what your saying I just keep thinking what if. I guess that's pretty horrible.
Lucy: No no it's pretty natural. But for his sake can you try to believe in him. He really needs that right now
Hope nods
Hope: Yes I think I can
Lucy smmiles
Lucy: Good. Listen why don't you run down to the cafiteira and get something to eat.
Hope: Oh that's okay I'm fine
Lucy: Now you listen to me young lady you haven't had anything since last night you need to eat. Now go on and get yourself some food.
Hope smiles
Hope: Yes Mam
They hug and Hope heads out. Lucy reclines against her pillows and sighs closing her eyes tightly
Lucy: Oh please let me be right. 

Gabreilla quietly sits at the kitchen table drinking her coffie. She can hear her kids and their friends playing out side and smiles to her self
Gabreilla: At least someone is having a good day.
Just then the phone rings. Gabreilla sighs and gose to pick it up.
Gabreilla: Hello?
Alison: Hey Gabreilla it's Alison
Gabreilla smiles
Gabreilla: Hey Alison what a nice surprise how are you doing?
Alison: I'm doing good thanks. Actually I'm feeling rather relieved right now.
Gabreilla: Really how come?
Alison: Well we've managed to come up with what apears to be a major break in the murders.
Gabreilla: Really! Oh Alison that's wonderful I''m so glad.
Alison: You and me both.
Gabreilla: What kind of a break is it?
Alison: Well it apears that someone has been setting Kevin up to make him think he was loosing his mind
Gabreilla's jaw drops
Gabreilla: You're kidding me! That's awful are you sure?
Alison: Yep we found a tune of evidence. Anyway now that we know that we can assume that the killer is trying to get revenge on Kevin for some reason. So now we have an actual motive
Gabreilla: That's great but who would hate Kevin that much and why these people they seem so unconected.
Alison: Well that's what we are trying to figure out now. Actually we have a sneaking suspision that Julie's come back
Gabreilla feels her blood go cold and she shudders
Gabreilla: What! Are you sure?
Alison: Oh no we are not sure but it makes sence. I mean aside from Greg and Rachel who are both dead Kevin dosn't really have any enimies.
Gabreilla sighs
Gabreilla: True true. Well good luck I hope Jamual finds her
Alison: Well he's sertenly not going to give up that's for sure. But as I said this is just a guess we actually have no evidence that it is Julie even the J is sercomstantial.
Gabreilla: I understand. So what are you up to?
Alison: I'm actually in my car on the way over to Ferncliff.
Gabreilla: Oh how is Lark doing?
Alison sighs
Alison: No change but that's not going to keep me from doing my best. I see paitents respond to this music theripy everyday and I just no one day Lark will to.
Gabreilla smiles and shakes her head
Gabreilla: You have such unbreakable determination.
Alison smiles
Alison: Thanks in this life you need it. I have to say though I owe alot of it to Frank. You know he has taught me so much.
Gabreilla nods
Gabreilla: Frank is a great man. I often wish Frank and Joe were closer. Maybe some of Frank could rub off on Joe.
Alison: Well I wouldn't hold my breath on that one, but I guess you never know. So how are you doing? What's going on with you?
Gabreilla: Oh I'm doing good the kids have the day off and I'm just sitting around here.
Alison hears the emotion in her friends voice.
Alison: Okay what's wrong
Gabreilla: Nothing is wrong I'm fine
Alison: Gabreilla I have known you for far to long and far to well to be fooled by that I can hear it in your voice now spill.
Gabreilla sighs
Gabreilla: Joe walked out yesturday.
Alison gasps
Alison: Oh My God that's awful! That dirty rotten snake! I''m so sorry Gabreilla I new things were bad but I didn't know they had gotten that bad.
Gabreilla laughs
Gabreilla: Join the club. I mean don't get me wrong I new we had problems but I figured we'd work it out. I mean that's what people in love do right
Alison: Oh Gabi I'm so sorry is there anything I can do?
Gabreilla: No I don't think so this is just the way it is.
Alison: Well maybe Joe will come back.
Gabreilla sighs sadly
Gabreilla: I don't think so Alison. Believe me I'd love to believe he would walk through that door and tell me he wants to fight for us but the fact is Joe has changed and I guess I have to. Besides unless he gets his temper and drinking in check there is no where for us to go. I'm not going to let my children live in fear or danger of their father and I won't live like that either.
Alison: Gabi he hasn't become abusive has he!
Gabreilla: He has come very very close with both me and Rose and the other day he crossed the line with Joseph.
Alison gasps in horrer.
Alison: Maybe that's why he left maybe he wants to get cleaned up.
Gabeilla: I'd like to believe that but judging from this goodbye not all he's interested in right now is being alone.
Alison: Oh Gabi I'm so sorry I just thought the two of you would always last.
Gabreilla sadly smiles
Gabreilla: So did I we had such a rough start I figured nothing would break us. But in the end Joe broke us.
Alison: Gabi I''m sorry I'm at work now I have to go in. Listen if you think of anything I can do please let me know and I'll call you later okay
Gabreilla: I will and thanks
Alison: Don't mention it and listen if he is willing to walk away from great wife like you and two terrific kids then he's a looser dosn't deserve you anyway.
Gabi smiles
Gabreilla: Thanks bye
Alison: Bye
The friends hang up and Gabreilla gose back to her coffie. 

Lucy is resting in bed with Serena comes in
Serena: Hey there Mom
Lucy opens her eyes and siles holding her arms open
Lucy: Hi sweetie come here
They hug
Lucy: Oh that is just what I needed.
Serena smiles
Serena: Me to, what a day
She shakes her head sadly. Lucy looks compationetly at Serena
Lucy: I know I know this really dose stink dosn't it.
Serena nods
Lucy: So how is your Dad?
Serena: Well physically he's going to be just fine. The knife didn't do as much damage as we origenally thought. Seems like his body is made out of concreat or something.
Lucy laughs
Lucy: Yep that's my pal stubern as a mule with concreat for a head
Serena giggles.
Lucy: Well it's nice to see you smile
Serena: You always did have that affect on me.
Lucy gets seareus
Lucy: How is he emotionally? I mean dose he know?
Serena nods sadly
Serena: Yes Karen, Randy, Brian, Neil and I told him a little while ago.
Serena shakes her head sadly
Serena: He is completly devistated. I really don't know if he can bounce back from this Mom. I mean there is only so much anyone person can take and he's been through so much.
Lucy looks at Serena with determination
Lucy: Your father is strong and he has a tune of people around him who love him and will help him through this.
Serena: But what if he can't I mean Mom look how long it took him to get over my Mother.
Lucy takes Serena's hand in hers.
Lucy: I''m not saying it's going to be easy but I know he can get through this and for the sake of his kids he needs to. I won't let him not get through this Serena I promis.
Serena smiles at Lucy's determend look
Serena: Well then I guess with you on the case I really do have nothing to worry about.
Lucy strokes Serena's cheeck
Lucy: And you never will.
Just then Hope comes in
Hope: Hi Serena how is your Dad?
Serena: Hey there Hope, he's doing okay thanks
Lucy: Did you get something to eat.
Hope: Yeah I wasn't really hungry so I got a protien shake
Serena laughs
Serena: In other words you ran into Neil.
Serena shakes her head.
Serena: I don 't know what it is about those shakes he loves so much. I've tried them and they are so nasty.
Hope smiles
Hope: Yeah he was there and invited me to sit with him. I told him I wasn't to hungry so he ordered me the protien shake. I'll never tell him I'm not hungry again
They all burst out laughing. Just then Kevin, Faith, and Felica come running in. Faith runs over and hugs Lucy
Faith: We have great news!
Kevin comes over and kisses Lucy gently
Kevin: Hey sweet heart.
Lucy: Hey you too. Doc what are you doing here? I thought you went home to get some rest. You really need it. Faith what's your great news? Oh hi Felica, it's so nice to see you.
Felica: Well it's so nice to see you to. I'm so glad you're doing better.
Felica gose over and hugs her old friend.
Lucy: Thanks I'm glad I'm doing better to. Infact I get to go home tomarrow. Now Kevin I thought we agreed you needed to go home and get some rest.
Faith: That's part of the great news Mom.
Lucy looks at Kevin, Faith and Felica who are all smiling away.
Lucy: Okay guys what's going on here?
Hope: Yeah tell us some good news would be a welcomed change around here.
Serena: Deffinetly.
Felica: Well I heard about everything that Kevin thought he saw and heard and it sounded rather formilure.
Serena and Hope exchange glances
Serena: What do you mean formilure?
Lucy looks at Felica with confusion. Then gose into protective mode.
Lucy: Felica what do you mean by formilure and if you even think of pointing one of those tacky press on nails at my Doc!
Kevin: No no Lucy it's okay she dosn't mean that.
Kevin hugs Lucy gently,
Faith: No Mom remember I said great news.
Serena: Oh I don't think Felica would come in here just to acuse Kevin. Besides my Dad is just down the hall and he'll defend him
Hope: I don't know Serena if Scott thinks there is even a chance that Dad did it.
Felica: I'm not acusing anyone in here of anything!
Lucy sees the hurt look on Felica's face and sighs.
Lucy: I'm sorry Felica you didn't deserve that but with everything that has been going on.
Felica puts her hand up.
Felica: I understand it's okay. I'm sure everything that has been happening with Kevin is very troubiling but I think this is going to help alot.
Lucy: Well what is it tell me!
Serena: And what do you mean by formilure?
Felica: Okay when Mac and I were working on bringing Ryan down we did many things besides just investigate. Do you remember Lucy?
Lucy thinks back
Lucy: Well yeah you faked your dath and nearly gave me a heart attack when I came up to the brown stone attick
Felica (blushes) they all laugh
Felica: Well that was one part of it. We also did some other things. One of those things was to use camera's and tape recorders to make Ryan believe he was loosing his mind.
Lucy: Because he was hearing and seeing dead people right?
Felica nods smiling.
Serena gasps
Serena: Oh My God that's it isn't it! Someone is setting Kevin up!
Everyone gasps
Faith: They sure are.
Felica: I had a hunch based on what kevin was seeing and hearing that that's what was going on. So Mac and I went over to the light house and we found video camera's and tape recorders hoocked up to the TV's and Phone's. When we let them run sure enough we saw and heard the same things Kevin was seeing and hearing.
Lucy is beat red with anger
Lucy: How could anyone do such a thing! I mean it's one thing to take down a seareal killer with this kind of behaivor but an inocent man! This is just monsterus! How dare anyone mess with my Doc! Oh Kevin are you okay? Come here.
She pulls Kevin into a long hug. Kevin smiles and kisses Lucy
Kevin: I'm fine in fact I'm doing alot better now that I have some clue about what's going on. It still dosn't explain the black out but
Lucy puts her fingure to Kevin's lip to hush him
Lucy: But Lucky will get to the bottem of that and it's nothing for you to worry about is that clear.
The room chuckles
Kevin: Yes Mam.
Lucy turns twords Felica
Lucy: Oh Felica thankyou so much I don't know how I can repay you for this. Thankyou so much.
Felica smiles
Felica: I'm just happy I could help a friend.
Faith: And the best part is now the cops are even closer to getting the person who is responsible for all of this.
Lucy: How so?
Felica: Well now that we know it's somsone with a grudge against Kevin we can look at a smaller circle of suspects. With a motive of some kind the killer will be caught alot sooner
Lucy sighs
Lucy: Well that will sertenly be a relief
Serena: I'm sure it will help my Dad to know the person who killed Eve is behind bars.
Hope: But who would hate Dad that much? Rachel and Greg are both dead the only other person is
Hope trails off as her eyes meet Faiths
Hope: You don't think
Faith nods at her sister
Faith: Julie has sertenly become a suspect.
Hope: But why would she risk everything now?
Felica: Well we truthfully don't have any evidence besides motive to link it to Julie but it sertenly could be her.
Kevin: And you're right her risking everything when she's been able to hide for so long dosn't make a whole lot of sence. However Julie is sick and insaine minds works differently then the rest of ours.
Lucy: Kevin if Julie is near then dosn't it stand to reason that
Lucy has tears in her eyes
Lucy: Maybe my Christina is near.
Hope: Oh wow we might finelly get to meet her!
Faith: Oh I'd love to get to know her I bet she's alot like Mom
Serena: Okay everyone stop. Yes it is possible but remember Christina didn't grow up with us. She is an adult now and an adult that was raised on the run. It's not like she's going to come running in here and jump in mom's lap. She may not want to have anything to do with us and she might be very loyal to Julie. Which means she might not exactly like us. We have to assume if Julie has told her anything about us it's highly unlikly that it has been good.
Lucy looks down sadly Kevin hugs her
Kevin: She's right Lucy we can't get our hopes up
Serena sighs
Serena: I'm sorry Mom but
Lucy: No no don't be I mean you're right she's a grown woman now and I'm sure she has know idea we even exsist.
Felica: Also we don't actually have proof that it is Julie, at this point and time it's just a theory.
They all nod.
Lucy: But they are going to investigate it right?
Felica: Oh absolutly they are tearing into this. We all want to get this nut who ever they are. Mac and Jamual are working on it right now and as a pi on the case I need to get to the station.
Lucy: Oh okay thanks for everything Felica
Felica smiles
Felica: You're welcome
They hug and Felica leaves. 

Courtney is buzily running around getting everything ready for the wedding. As she supervizes the team she suddenly gets an odd feelling that someone is watching her. Courtney looks around but can't seem to see anyone who is. She shrugs it off and gose on with her work. One of the caterers comes over to her.
Caterier: Do you want the ice sculpture near the cake?
Courtney groans
Courtney: No Phill for the one hundredth time if the ice sculpture starts melting they'll have we cake put it by the punch!
Phill: Yes mam
He runs off hurridly. Courtney suddenly gets a cold chill and the hair on the back of her neck stands stright up. She tries to shrug it off and go one with her work but she can't completly get the feeling that someone is watching her out of her mind. 

Jamual and Mac are at police head quarters going over all the evidence to see if they can link Julie to any of it.
Jamual: Damit! Aside from the J on the wall and her hate for Kevin we have nothing that even remotly links her to this!
Mac: Well there has got to be something! Someone is killing people and trying to drive my best friend crazy so there has got to be an anwser here!
Jamual sighs
Jamual: I hope there is problem is Julie disapeared years ago with out a trace and there has not even been the smallest clue of where she could be in years. So getting this to lead back to her is not going to be easy and that's putting it mildly.
Mac nods
Officer Qourtermaine comes over to them.
Michael: Detective Jamual the press wants a statement should we let them know about the lead?
Jamual: No absolutly not! We don't wan't any kind of information getting leaked do you understand me. The last thing we need is the killer to realize we are closing in. I want you to tell the press we have no new leads at this time and there will be no further comment untill an arrest has been made got it!
Michael: yes sir
Michael heads off
Mac: You sure letting the press think you know nothing is a good idea?
Jamual: I can't risk the killer running. If he or she thinks we are close we may not be able to find them. We have to keep quite. The reason cases in this town have gone unsolved in years passed is because to many loose lips around here. Now come on we have work to do.
They continue working 

Karen and Chris are working at the nurses station.
Karen: Chris can I talk to you for a second?
Chris: Sure babe what's up?
Karen: Well Uhm I was just thinking since we know Julie is gone maybe we should tell the cops so they don't waiste their time trying to tie it to her. This person needs to be caught and if they are chaising a dead person they won't find the killer.
Chris considers this.
Chris: Right now I feel Julie's death is a private matter. I was married to her and in the end was the last person in this town that truly cared about her. I loved her very much and would like to keep what happend to her private
Karen sighs
Karen: Chris I understand that but if they are chaising her then the killer might not get caught
Chris sighs
Chris: Karen I understand what you're saying but you know Julie and I didn't get alot of privacy everyone was butting in and analizing every move we made. I'd like it if her death was a little different.
Chris sees Karen's unhappyness with this
Chris: Tell you what how about if for now we keep quite but if it starts looking like they are focusing on Julie and not really searching else where then I'll tell them what I know but not before that. Okay?
Karen smiles
Karen: Okay that sounds fair.
Chris pulls Karen near and hugs her
Chris: You know I love you.
Karen: Yes but it's nice to hear, and bye the way I love you to.
They kiss tenderly 

Lucky is sitting in his office going over some files when the phone rings.
Lucky: Dr. Spencer talk to me.
Joe: Hi Uh Lucky it's Joe Scanlon
Lucky: Well hello Doc Scanlon how may I help you.
Joe: Well Uhm I
Joe takes a deep breath and sighs he turns and sees Frank looking at him from the kitchen table. Frank gives him the thumbs up sign and smiles encouragingly
Joe: I've been having alot of problems with my temper, the past, my family, drinking and just about everything.
Lucky nods
Lucky: I see would you like to come in and see me?
Joe: Yes I I really want to get my life back on track. It's really in the guter at the moment.
Lucky smiles
Lucky: Well I think we can fix that. I'm booked up for the rest of today but how about first thing tomarrow. Say maybe about 9am?
Joe: 9am that should be fine thanks
Lucky: You're welcome, okay then I'll see you tomarrow.
Joe: Okay bye
Lucky: bye
Joe hangs up and turns twords Frank
Frank: You're doing the right thing Joe you really are.
Joe sighs and plops down in a chair.
Joe: So why dose it feel so weird.
Frank: Asking for help is never easy.
Joe nods
Frank: So are you going to talk to Gabby about this? I really think you should
Joe sighs
Joe: What am I supposed to say. Gabby I know I've been a jerk but I'm getting help so can you give me anuther chance. Forget that you've already given me a dozon!
Frank: Why not it's the truth isn't it? And the fact is you've never been this proactive about getting the help you need before. Joe she loves you and she will give you that chance I'm sure of it.
Joe sighs
Frank: Come on Joe don't make things worse for yourself by pushing her away.
Joe: Okay maybe I'll talk to her, but not before my first session with Lucky I really think I need to at least get started before I go to her.
Frank nods
Frank: If you say so.
Joe: I do

Alison sits on the side of Larks bed playing her guitar and singing to her like she always dose. She looks into Lark's eyes hoping to see some sign that Lark is there but so far there has been nothing noticeable. Alison finally puts the guitar down.
Alison: I guess I need to get some new songs huh. You've heard those same songs just about everytime I come. I have some good news for you.
Alison begins brushing Larks hair as she talks
Alison: We are getting closer to figuring out who stabbed Frank. That psycho has killed two people now and injured three it's just awful. But Jamual is getting close to figuring it all out.
Alison stops suddenly and looks at Lark she thought she saw an actual expression fluter across her face but Larks face is now blank again.
Alison: Lark?
Nothing Alison sighs
Alison: I know you want to get this person locked up as badly as I do Lark. Don't worry we won't let this maniac get away with this I promise.
Again something flashes across Larks face.
Alison: Lark? Lark are you coming back to us?!
Alison starts to get excited but Lark seems as stiff as ever. Alison smiles
Alison: Well this maybe taking sometime but I think you are starting to come around aren't you.
Alison happily hugs Lark. 
Scott is laying in his hospital bed starring up at the ceiling as tears run down his face. Randy and Brain are down in the cafeteria getting something to eat. Serena knocks quietly on the door and comes in.
Serena: Hi Dad
She walks over and takes his hand.
Serena: How are you feeling? Can I get you anything?
Scott looks at Serena seriously
Scott: No there is no way you can help me right now no one can.
Serena squezes his hand.
Serena: Please don't shut me out Dad let me help you.
Scott: Help me what? Help me heal? Help me move on? Help me love again? Serena I did all of that after your mother died and look where it's gotten me right back to square one.
Serena: But Dad
Scott shakes his head and puts his hand up.
Scott: Serena there is only so many times a man can be knocked down before he decides it's just not worth it to get back up.
Serena: But you have to! We need you! I need you!
Scott half laughs
Scott: Serena you are a grown woman with a thriving career a good marriage and a beautiful daughter you don't need me.
Serena: I most sertenly do!
Serena takes him by the shoulders
Serena: Dad no matter what happens in my life I will always need you. Being an adult with an adult life doesn't mean I no longer need my Dad.
Scott half laughs
Scott: Serena if there is one thing I've taught you it's independents so don't pretend you need me so much. I'm tired
Scott staarts to turn over
Serena: What about Brian and Randy! They are still kids! They need you
Scott: They have alot of people around them to help them and it's not like I'm going anywhere I'm just not going to participate in life anymore then I have to.
Scott turns on his side away from Serena
Serena has tears running down her face she runs from the room not knowing what to do. 

Faith is on the phone in the hall talking to Livvie
Faith: So anyway it seems someone has just been setting Dad up that's all.
Livvie: And they are sure that's what it is? They have totaly decided he's been set up?
Faith: yeah they found all the proof they need at the light house. I'm so relieved I was really getting worried.
Livvie: I'm sure, I have to say I'm surprised
Faith: What do you mean?
Livvie: Well there is such strong mentil illness on his side of the family I guess I just figured he was loosing it.
Faith: I guess but I mean there is mentil illness on yours to
Livvie: Oh don't get me wrong I'm happy just surprised. So do they have any idea who is doing this? Have they named a suspect? Do they think it's the same person who has been attacking and killing?
Faith: They are pretty sure the killer and the person framing Dad is one and the same. As for a suspect well they haven't anounced anything official yet but they are considering Julie a possible suspect.
Livvie: Why? She's been on the run for years? That dosn't make sence. I can believe Dad would before I'd believe Julie would risk everything. Chris told me alot about Julie she maybe sick but she's not dumb.
Faith: Livvie you sound like you want it to be him
Livvie: Oh don't be silly ofcourse I don't want it to be him and I'm glad it's not but Julie? It just dosn't add up I'd like to think they were on the right trail but it dosn't sound like they are. At anyrate I need to go give my love to everyone by
Faith: Bye Livvie take care
They hang up. 

Lucy is sleeping in her room when she starts to dream vividly. She is walking through a very cold and dark maze.
Lucy: Doc?
As she walks she can hear screams her heart is pounding
Lucy: Doc! Doc where are you!
The dampness makes her shiver and she suddenly sees a huge rat run infront of her and she screams. She takes a deep breath and keeps walking through the maze. She can hear a formilure voice speaking but she can't place it. She fallows it and gets closer and closer. Finally she rounds a bend and finds her self standing in a small room. She gasps in horror seeing Kevin tied up with ropes to a chair a peace of cloth stuffed in his mouth. She tries to scream but nothing comes out she tries to move but she can't. Then she hears the formilure voice again but for some reason she can't place it. She sees a dark figure move towards Kevin and lift a knife.
Lucy wakes up screaming covered in sweat and shaking
Lucy: NO NO DOC!!!!!!
Serena comes running in having been near by and hearing her mom's frantic screams. Serena runs to her and hugs her tightly
Serena: Mom it's okay it's okay you were just dreaming everything is all right.
Lucy: I have to find Doc I have to find him! Something is wrong something is very wrong!
Serena tries to soothe Lucy
Serena: No Mom everything is just fine. You were just having a nightmare that's all. Kevin and Hope went home a little while ago to get some rest remember. They are fine they'll be back tomorrow to bring you home. Everything is okay.
Lucy lays back against her pillows shaking her head
Lucy: Someone is after him and if we don't catch them
Serena: Hey don't think like that. We will okay Jamual, Felica, and Mac are closing n and they will get this person.
Lucy: I really think it's Julie
Serena: It might be but whoever it is will be caught. Just try to relax okay Kevin is safe. Mac put a whole bunch of cops around the lighthouse.
Lucy: I just wish I could shake this feeling
Serena squeezes her Mom's hand
Serena: I know I know. 

Kevin is laying on the couch trying to sleep. He suddenly begins dreaming vividly. He is in a maze of mirrors and he can here an all to formilure voice calling to him
Ryan: Kevin Oh Kevy over here.
Kevin walks through the maze feverishly bumping into the mirrors
Ryan: Oh come on Kevin you can find me or don't you want to.
Kevin rounds a bend and finds himself in a small room face to face with Ryan
Kevin: What do you want Ryan!
Ryan: You didn't really think I had left you did you. Ah come on now brother mine you should no better. You can never get rid of me
Ryan laughs insanely.
Kevin: What do you want from me!
Ryan: Temper temper now is that anyway to talk to your brother. I really don't think it is after all we are family.
Kevin: what's your point Ryan!
Ryan: My point oh just that you shouldn't be so sure you know the end of this riddle.
Ryan grins wickedly
Kevin: What riddle?!
Ryan: What riddle? Well, now lets see
Ryan steps back and Kevin gasps in horror there are six chairs all lined up in the first 5 tied up with ropes are Frank, Rachel, Lucy, Eve, and Scott while the last one is empty. Ryan walks over towards Frank
Kevin: Ryan stop what are you doing!
Kevin finds himself unable to move. Ryan plunges the knife into Franks chest blood flows everywhere.
Ryan: Poor old Frankie first to fall
Ryan then walks over and stabs Rachel in the chest
Ryan: Then comes Rachel blood and all
He stabs Lucy Kevin screams in horror but still can't move
Ryan: Oh dear Lucy blood and pain
he then quickly stabs Scott and Eve
Ryan: Two more fall
Ryan then walks over to the sixth chair and stabs the knife into the empty seat
Ryan: And that's not all.
Kevin: Go to hell Ryan!
Kevin charges at Ryan finally able to move. Ryan steps aside and Kevin falls on the ground
Kevin: Oh that's right you're already there!
Ryan kneels down infront of Kevin and looks at him closely
Ryan: Are you sure Kevin are you really sure I'm gone.
Kevin wakes screaming Hope comes running and hugs him
Hope: Dad Dad calm down what is it what's wrong?!
Kevin takes a deep breath and rubs his face.
Kevin: Oh God when is this all going to end.
Hope hugs him tightly.
Hope: It will end soon Dad I just know it they'll find the person I just know it.
She rocks him side to side as she hugs him just like she's seen her mother do.
Hope: It's going to be okay everything is going to work out. 

Chris is going through his mail when he comes across a certified letter. He opens it and begins to read. 

Dr. Chris Ramsey
On April 1, the mall practice law suit having been filed against you by the Scanlon Family will begin promptly at 9am. Please note failure to attend will result in you being held in contempt of court. 

Chris slams the letter down angrily
Chris: DAMIT! I did not let his freaken mother die! That greedy little witch after I helped to save her husband she is still coming after me. To bad Julie isn't around now.
Chris half laughs, then angrily grabs the phone and dials.
Courtney is over seeing the reception when her cell phone rings.
Courtney: Hello?
Chris: Do you like being a total witch or what?!
Courtney: Who is this what are you talking about?
Chris: It's the doctor you're trying to bilk money from, for a death you know I didn't cause!
Courtney: First off considering I am taking you to court Chris I wouldn't be talking to me like that if I were you. Secondly I know no such thing! My family is intitled to that money!
Chris: Why why on earth are you entitled to it! I did all I could I even operated after you and Frank had been told there was no hope by three separate doctors.
Courtney: Everyone knows you've had it in for the Scanlon's for ages! You probably did that just so she'd die on the table.
Chris: You little dirty rotten snake! Didn't I save your husband
Courtney: To make yourself look good that's all. Besides for all I know you're the one who tried to kill him.
Chris turns beat red his fists clench.
Chris: Listen you if you think you can con me you made a horrible miscalculation. So be careful Courtney be very careful
Courtney: Are you threatening me!
Chris: You can take it how ever you want it just watch your step.
Chris angrily hangs up and storms out. 

Lucy is sleeping soundly when she suddenly starts dreaming. She is standing outside at the gazebo. Scott is hunched over on the ground crying mournfully. She sees Dominique and Eve standing at the gazebo looking at him sadly.
Dominique: Please Lucy you are the only one who can help him
Eve: Please Lucy he needs you.
Dominique: We're counting on you Lucy
Eve: Please help him get through this.
Lucy sits straight up in bed her heart pounding. She can still hear Dom and Eve's pleading voices ringing in her head. Lucy looks out the window at the night sky.
Lucy: I understand.
She slowly gets out of bed
Lucy: Here I come pal
Faith stirs and wakes as Lucy goes towards the door. She gets up and goes to her.
Faith: Mom where are you going? Come on it's night time you need your rest.
Lucy pulls her arm away from Faith
Lucy: No sweet heart I need to help my pal. He needs me right now.
Faith: You can help him in the morning he is probably asleep. Come on Mom please
Lucy takes a deep breath.
Lucy: Faith Charity Collins if there is one thing I have taught you it's that when a friend is in need you don't wait. Now he needs me I have this very strong feeling that I need to be there right now and that's where I'm going.
Faith sighs seeing her mothers determined look.
Faith: At least let me take you in the wheel chair.
Lucy: Fine but we are going now.
Faith nods Lucy gets in thechair and they are off. 

Frank and Joe are sitting on the couch talking when Frankie and Angel come in.
Frank: Hey guys how was your day?
Angel and Frankie look at each other then at Joe then at their Dad then back to Joe then back to their Dad
Angel: Uh fine
Angel hugs her Dad
Angel: How are you feeling?
Frankie is glaring at Joe and walks over to him
Frankie: You better not be upsetting my Dad.
Joe half smiles a tear in his eye wishing his son was as protective of him as Frankie is of his father.
Joe: I wouldn't dream of Frankie.
Frank: Frankie your Uncle and I have ironed things out and right now he needs my help. You remember what I told you about family?
Frankie sighs
Frankie: You can always count on family no matter what and you must never turn family away.
Frank nods proudly. Joe thinks of Joseph.
Angel: Well I think it's great. I mean family is so important and while Frankie may drive me crazy sometimes I would never want him to not be around.
Frankie looks at Angel a bit surprised
Frankie: Uh thanks sis
Angel: You're welcome.
Joe: You know sometimes Frankie people just drift apart but that doesn't mean they can't come back together.
Frank: And that's what is happening here.
Frankie: Well if you're okay with it then I am to.
Frankie nods
Frank smiles at his son
Frank: So how was basketball practice?
Frankie: It was great! I was at one end of the court and through the ball and it went to the other end and went in! Nothing but net!
Frank smiles proudly and pats Frankie on the back at he plops down on the couch next to his Dad
Frank: That's my boy a chip off the old block.
Joe: That's fantastic Frankie. Are you thinking of going pro someday?
Frankie shakes his head
Frankie: Nah I think I might want to play pro football or maybe be a doctor I haven't decided.
Joe smiles
Joe: Well you've got time to decide.
Angel: How are Joseph and Rose doing I haven't seen them in ages?
Joe: Oh they are doing good
Frank can see the sadness in Joe's face.
Frank: Hey why don't the two of you go clean up and then maybe we can all make a late dinner together.
Frankie: Okay I can take a hint
Frankie heads upstairs. Angel starts to leave and turns towards Joe.
Angel: I hope what ever is wrong works out for you.
Angel then goes on upstairs. Frank is beaming with pride. Joe smiles
Joe: She is aptly named isn't she.
Frank nods
Frank: Yep she's the greatest.
Frank gets a distant look in his eye. I sometimes wonder if Christina has turned out like her.
Joe: Well she might of I mean she dose have your genetics after all.
Frank laughs
Frank: Wow I think that's the nicest thing you've said to me in two decades.
They both burst out laughing
Joe: Well then it's over due. Besides she must get her goodness somewhere.
Frank shrugs
Frank: Sometimes I think Angel got it from God and no one else. I don't know anyone in this family who is like her.
Just then Courtney walks in and sees Joe her face hardens
Courtney: What they hell are you doing here!
Frank jumps up and goes over to her.
Frank: Courtney Joe came over today and we had a long talk
Courtney: Well in less it included him bagging you for forgiveness I really am not interested in it!
Joe: Courtney look I know I've made mistakes
Courtney snorts
Courtney: There is an understatement! Your whole life is a mistake!
Joe: Hey people in glass houses shouldn't through stones! You have no business judging me!
Courtney: EXCUSE ME THIS IS MY HOUSE I'LL JUDGE YOU ALL I WANT AS LONG AS YOU'RE IN IT!
Frank: ENOUGH BOTH OF YOU!
They both look at Frank
Frank: Courtney I understand all your reasons for not liking Joe okay. But he is my brother and as of today we have worked things out. We've decided to put the past in the past and move forward cause we miss each other. Courtney please for me try to understand that. Joe I know you don't like getting yelled out but you know as well as I do Courtney dose have a few things to yell about. Please as long as you're here try to show her some respect.
Joe and Courtney look at each other.
Joe: I'll try
Courtney: What do you mean as long as he's here?
Frank sighs
Frank: Joe is having some problems at home and needs a place to stay
Courtney: No Frank I will not have him around our children! Let him stay at a hotel!
Frank: Courtney I am putting my foot down he is staying here. He is my brother and I need to help him
Courtney: Why he's never helped you!
Frank: Courtney you know my feelings on family. Look I won't let him affect our children I promise
Courtney sighs
Courtney: I don't know why you want to give this looser who has never been there for you a chance but I can tell there is no changing your mind.
She glares angrily and at Joe
Courtney: Stay away from my kids, stay out of my way, and don't you dare do a thing to Frank.
Courtney goes to the kitchen. Joe stands there seething and grabs his coat.
Joe: I'm gong out!
Frank: Joe hold it right there! Listen I'm willing to help you I will let you stay here and I will give you a shoulder to lean on but we need to get a few things straight.
Joe sighs
Joe: Like what
Frank: I have worked very hard to not let my kids be exposed to what we went through and I'm not letting anyone not even you change that. So if you're thinking of going to get drunk and then coming back here you can just think again. If you get drunk you can't stay here it's as simple as that. Also I want you to learn to control your temper I want you taking a lot of deep breaths and be careful about what you say around them. I've managed to bring my children up unscaved and I intend to keep it that way.
Joe sees the seriousness in Franks eyes. Joe sighs feeling tired and stressed.
Joe: I'm not going to get drunk you have my word I just need some air.
Frank nods
Frank: Fine just keep it that way
Joe nods and leaves, Frank looks after him worriedly. 

Faith quietly wheels Lucy into Scott's room. Scott has all the light's out and appears to be asleep. Faith bends down and whispers in Lucy's ear.
Faith: Mom he looks like he's sleeping peacefully why don't I take you back to your room so you can do the same. You can talk to him tomorrow before you go home.
Lucy shakes her head.
Lucy: He's not asleep I have known Scott far to long and no him far to well to be fooled. Listen honey I'll be fine you go get some rest and I'll bring myself back to the room when I'm done.
Faith: Mom
Lucy: Faith do not argue with me. I know my pal he needs me right now go back to the room.
Faith sighs knowing she can't change her mothers mind and leaves the room. Lucy slowly gets out of her chair and moves over to the stool next to Scott's bed. She quietly sits down. and takes his hand in hers.
Lucy: Hey pal.
Scott: I was sleeping
Lucy gives Scott a knowing smile
Lucy: Oh yeah Pal I'm really going to buy that. Sorry I know you far to well and have known you for far to long to believe that. Now if you want to sleep that's fine but I'm not going to let you be alone.
Scott snorts
Scott: Why not it's my destiny to be alone isn't it.
Lucy: Scott Baldwin you have never been nor will you ever be alone. You have always had people who love you and you always will.
Scott: And they always leave
Lucy squeezes Scott's hand
Lucy: I haven't left, your children haven't left.
Scott: Karen and Serena have their own lives, and Brian and Randy in time will to. I'm alone in the world face it Lucy.
Lucy: So what am I?
Scott: How the hell should I know we've been through so much have the time I don't know myself!
Lucy: Well then I guess I'll just have to tell you.
Lucy smiles.
Lucy: I'm your sister.
Scott: My what?!
Lucy: Scott think about it we fight like cats and dogs but when one of us is in trouble the other one comes charging in to help. We have always been close we go through everything together and we always come out a team. Face it the only suitable description for us is siblings. And as your sibling I will not allow you to be alone.
Lucy smiles at Scott confidently Scott sighs sadly
Scott: Lucy I am so tired of this. I'm so tired of loving and loosing. Of putting my heart out there and getting it broken! It just isn't fair! It isn't fair!
Scott starts crying. Lucy pulls him into a hug.
Lucy: I know Scott I know and I'm so sorry you've gotten hurt so many times. You don't deserve this no one dose. I'm so sorry.
Scott pulls away trying to collect himself and wipes his face.
Scott: You and me both. I'm just so tired of trying Lucy I mean what's the point.
Lucy: Oh Scotty never give up on Lucy. It is worth it I know I know sometimes it seems like it isn't. But in the long run it is. Just think of all the wonderful things that have happened cause you've believed in love.
Scott: Such as?
Lucy: Had you given up after Laura you wouldn't have married Dominique. Now I know it hurt you terribly when she died but would you have honestly traded that for anything in the world?
Scott thinks
Scott: No no I wouldn't give up a second of that.
Lucy smiles
Lucy: I didn't think so. And you know if you hadn't of let Dom in you wouldn't have Serena or our beautiful granddaughter. Now would you give either of them up to save yourself pain?
Scott: Never
Lucy: Okay now had you given up after Dom you would have never been with Eve or had Brian and Randy. Would you be willing to give any of them up to spare yourself some pain?
Scott: No no my family is my world.
Lucy nods
Lucy: I know they are. So you see Scott through all your pain you've gotten alot. You've got kids and grand kids and wonderful memories of beautiful love.
Scott: Do you have a point Lucy?
Lucy sighs
Lucy: Yes I do my point is that since you've gotten so much from not giving up just imagine what else might be out there and what you might not have now had you given up before.
Scott looks at Lucy for a minute
Scott: Dammit I hate when you make a good point.
Lucy burst out laughing
Lucy: Yep you're definitely my brother.
Scott gets quite.
Scott: I'm getting older Lucy I'm not sure how many more times I can take. My hair is gray and my heart is weak. Eve was my world I thought I'd have her till the day I died.
Scott starts crying Lucy hugs him tightly.
Lucy: I know you did I know you did. But Scott remember she is with you. Her spirit will never die and will always be with you. And one day when you die you will see her and everyone else you've lost again.
Scott: But what about now how do I get through this! I'm not as strong as I used to be!
Lucy: Well first off you get through it like you get through anything with your friends and family at your side. As for getting older well I'm no spring chicken myself. But Scott our strength doesn't disappear with age. I know you Scott I know you as well as I know myself and I know you have it in you. And I promise I'll be there for you always.
Scott looks at her intently
Scott: Always?
Lucy: I always have been haven't I?
Scott have smiles
Scott: Yeah you've been my one constant through most of my adult life. I don't know where I'd be without you Luc.
Lucy smiles
Lucy: Well you won't be finding out any time soon.
They embrace. 

Gabriella is in the kitchen doing the dinner dishes. The kids are upstairs and she's feeling especially lonely. She sits down at the table for a minute and thinks back to happier times. Times when her and Joe were so right together and worked as one. A tear runs down Gabriella's face. She takes a deep breath and rubs her face.
Gabriella: That's enough of that Gabby come on now. You are a strong independent woman. If he doesn't want you that's his loss not yours. You and the kids can get by just fine without him. No more of this feeling sorry for yourself.
Gabriella stands up and goes back to the dishes. Suddenly a strange feeling like someone is watching her comes over her and the hair on the back of her neck stands straight up. She shivers and turns around quickly but no one is there. She sighs and keeps working but she can't shake the feeling that someone is starring at her. She goes over to a window and pears out but in the dark she can't see anything. she closes the curtains and goes back to the dishes. 

Courtney, Frank and the kids are finishing up making a late dinner.
Angel: It is going to be neat having Uncle Joe around I really don't know him that well.
Courtney: You're not missing a thing. Believe me there is nothing great to know.
Frank: Courtney
Courtney: Frank I will be as respectful as I can but I will not pretend to like someone I detest.
Frankie: But maybe he's changed. I mean if Dad is giving him another chance shouldn't we.
Courtney: Your father is famous for giving second chances and sometimes it doesn't work out well. I don't want this to become one of those times.
Frank: What if I hadn't given you another chance? Sometimes you just have to take a chance on people.
Courtney sighs
Courtney: And sometimes it's not worth it.
Frank: You know what Courtney you really shouldn't talk on this issue. You've had so many second chances and have made so many mistakes. I'm sick and tired of you putting down people who have screwed up no more then you have.
Courtney looks angrily at Frank
Courtney: I need some air.
She storms out of the house. Frank sighs tiredly and rubs his face.
Frank: Okay the food is almost done I'm going to go upstairs I don't have much of an apitight.
Frank goes on upstairs.
Angel and Frankie look at each other.
Frankie: What was that about?
Angel shrugs
Angel: Unresolved history I think. Come on lets eat you know how they are by this time tomorrow they'll be all snugly and making out.
Frankie nods in agreement as they sit down to eat.

Gabreilla rolls over and opens her eyes. She sighs sadly.
Gabreilla: I wonder how long it's going to take to get used to waking up alone.
She sits up and stretches and looks outside. The rain is pouring down against the window like an avalanch.
Gabreilla: A dark rainy day perfect it matches my mood.
She slowly gets out of bed and slips her robe on. Just then she hears something like a stone hit the window she turns somewhat surprised.
Gabreilla: It was just the rain
Gabreilla starts making the bed then she hears it again.
Gabreilla: What in the world?
She gose to the window and looks out. She gasps at what she sees. Standing there in the pouring rain soacked to the core is Joe holding a gutar. She opens the window and yells down
Gabreilla: What on earth are you doing!
Joe begins to play the gutar and sing

Neil nods.
They all walk out together as Karen watches them go she looks up to heaven.
Karen: God please let this end. 

Jamual and the other cops are sworming around the Gazeebo.
Jamual: Damm I have got to get this nut! who ever it is destroying lives left and right!
Officer Qourtermaine comes over.
Micheal: Detective I think you'd better have a look at this.
He hands Jamual a wet and dirty typed note that was found on the ground 

The Riddle is almost done, the plan almost complete do you know who is behind your awful defeate. 

Jamual stairs at the note
Jamaul: Okay take this in as evidence we'll have a computer expert anilize it though with all the rain I'm not sure if he can get anywhere with it.
Jamual shakes his head angrily.
Jamual: The riddle ain't over yet and you're not getting away with this.

Joe sits nurvesly in the chair sitting across from Lucky.
Joe: So how do we do this?
Lucky: Well why don't you start by telling me when and why you started drinking so heavily.
Joe shurgs
Joe: I always drank I learned early from my Dad.
Lucky: Did your Dad drink alot?
Joe snorts
Joe: He spent most of his life drunk.
Lucky: What was his behiavor like when he was drunk?
Joe: Pretty much the same as when he was sober
Lucky: And how was that?
Joe: Mean as hell. He was extreamly abusive
Lucky: He beat you?
Joe nods sadly a tear in his eye
Joe: He beat all of us. I don't remember a day when Frank or I wouldn't go to school with a broken bone, black eye, bruse or some injury. I remember once he got so enraged that I ended up in the hospital for a week, and Frank's so called foot ball injury?
Joe shakes his head
Lucky: His knee wasn't hurt in a foot ball game?
Joe: Nope good old Dad got mad at him and decided to teach him a lesson. If he'd let anyone take an exray of his knee you'd find a bullet lodged in it.
Lucky tries not to look horrified.
Lucky: What about your Mom?
Joe: Oh he beat her to. The only time he wasn't beating one of us was when he was out getting drunk, passed out drunk, or in jail on assult charges.
Lucky: Was he in jail alot?
Joe: No Mom could neve fallow through and usually he was charged with asulting someone at a bar or something.
Lucky nods
Lucky: Was he ever kind to you or your brother?
Joe: Only when he had to be
Lucky: What do you mean?
Joe: In public, when we had company, or when someone suspishus of our injuries came over.
Lucky: Were you angry at your mom for staying?
Joe: No it wasn't really her fault. He told all of us if we tried to leave he'd kill us and we had no reason to doubt him. Also Mom's family threatend to disown her if she left. They felt it was wrong to leave a marriage. Forget that your husband is beating you and your kids everyday
Joe half laughs angrily.
Lucky: When did you start drinking?
Joe: In college I wanted to see what the appeal was and I wanted to have some fun. I didn't really start drinking heavily though for a long time.
Lucky: When did you?
Joe thinks
Joe: right after my abuse of amphetimeans was exposed. I was so scared and felt very alone and angry and out of controle. I didn't know how it had happend but it had. I was an adict and I really didn't know what to do. I figured I could count on my family to rally around me and help and support me like they'd always done before.
Joe thinks back and shakes his head sadly
Lucky: But they didn't?
Joe: Well Gabriella and the kids did. You know I don't think there is anyone in the world as loyal as Gabby. I don't think there is anything I could say or do to stop her from standing by me. It worries me sometimes.
Joe gets a distant look in his eyes
Lucky: Why dose that worry you?
Joe sighs
Joe: Because lately I've been much to much like my father and she will do the same thing my mother did nothing.
Joe saheks his head.
Joe: That's why I'm here Gabriella deserves better as do my kids
Lucky smiles
Lucky: Well that's proof right there that you're not like your father. You want to change you don't want to hurt them.
Joe nods
Joe: And I won't.
Lucky: So was your Mom and Frank equally supportive?
Joe half laughs and snorts
Joe: Supportive oh that's a laugh. Well I guess I have to give Frank credit he sent me a bunch of pamplets on different rehabs for doctors and a card telling me I could do it. He also called me and told me I should consider making an apointment with you. But that was all he could muster he was to buzy with his own life.
Lucky: And your Mom?
Joe has tears in his eyes as he thinks back.
Joe: She called me and told me she was completly disapointed in me and embarressed of me. That I had humileated her and was no better then my father. She told me I was a worthless screw up just like him and she wasn't about to watch me reck my life along with everyone elses in it. She was through looking after me and then went on to say from this moment on you are no longer my son. Then she hung up.
Joe starts sobbing. Lucky hands him a cleanex
Lucky: I'm sorry Joe did you try talking to her or having Frank talk to her?
Joe: I tried calling her but she'd just hang up and she finelly got her number changed. I'd send her letters but they'd be sent back with return to sender on them and they'd be unopend. I had Frank plead my case but She would refuse and tell Frank to stop waisting his time on me.
Lucky: Was her reaction surprising to you?
Joe nods
Joe: She had always been a very loving and supportive mother so It really did. I do think it added to my anger though and when she died and cut me out of the will it just fuled the fire. I started hating everyone and everything. I truly became my father.
Joe starts crying again
Lucky: Well Joe I doubt your father would have ever come to see me.
Joe: There was a time when I wouldn't have either.
Lucky: What changed?
Joe thinks
Joe: I'm not sure I guess I just decided I didn't want the life I had been creating. I saw Frank with his family and his life. You know he had the same parants and in truth he had it harder since Mom expected him to raise me more or less. But look at him he's got it all. I realized that I was making my life bad for myself no one else was just me.
Lucky nods
Lucky: Sometimes all we need to realize is that we have controle.
Joe nods and sighs
Lucky: Well I think this is a good place to stop for today. How about the same time next week
Joe nods
Joe: Sure sounds good.
They stand and shake hands
Joe: Thanks for everything
Lucky: You're welcome
Joe leaves tired but feeling some what more calm. 
Hope, and Faith walk ahead of their parents as Kevin helps Lucy out of the car and up to the light house.
Faith: So Mom how dose it feel to be home?
Lucy smiles
Lucy: Simply wonderful.
Hope: Hey look at that!
Hope points to the buetiful rainbow over the house. Everyone stops to admire that.
Kevin: It really is nice.
Lucy nods smiling away.
Lucy: Yes it's simply breath taking. I love the weather right after a storm. And I love to see rainbows. They are such a sign of calmness and peace.
Just then they hear a frantic little quacking. Everyone jumps a little. They look around and see that little Sigmond the third has somehow gotten a bucket on his head and is running in circles over near a bush. Everyone bursts out laughing.
Lucy: Sigmond!
They all hurry towards the frightend Duck.
Kevin: How in the world did he do this?
Hope: He's a Collins it makes all creatures a little demented
Faith jabs her sister
Hope: Watch it!
Faith: Then shut up!
Kevin: Okay both of you stop it now!
Lucy laughs as she cradles the scared duck. Everyone looks at her she is smiling and shaking her head
Lucy: Well now I know I am home
Everyone laughs.
Kevin: Okay lets get this group inside.
They all go in Lucy still carrying the duck. She takes Siggy 3 to the back deck and put hiim down in the grass so he can go back to the pond.
Lucy: Now you be haive yourself young man.
Lucy heads back in. Faith and Hope are standing there with a sign that says Welcome Home Mom Kevin is holding a cake they all yell surprise!
Lucy smiles with tears in her eyes.
Lucy: Oh you guys are so sweet.
Lucy hugs her family happily.
Hope: So are things finelly going to be normal around here again?
Faith: I hope so I'm so sick of all of this.
Kevin: Well hopefully it will be over soon and the sicko causing all of this will be behind bars.
Lucy: Oh I think it will be over soon. We just have to believe in that. I'm sure everything will be okay.
She hugs her girls lovingly and Kevin and her kiss. As the family begins to celebrate and cut the cake someone is standing outside the window watching them.
Person: Have your fun now the last laugh will be mine.
The person then walks quickly away from the house. 

Jamual is buzy in the police department trying to peace together evidence when Alison rushes in.
Alison: Jamual! Oh My God I just heard on the radio! Is it true is Courtney really dead?!
She hugs Jamual and looks into his troubled eyes.
Jamual: Yeah Ally girl unfortchunitly it is.
He shakes his head sadly.
Jamual: You know that woman may have had her flaws but she didn't deserve this. To be stabbed to death alone in the park at night.
Jamual just shakes his head sadly.
Alison: No one dose. This is such a nightmare.
Jamual: yeah only it's real and I've yet to figure out how to stop it. Dammit!
Jamual slams his hand down on the desk.
Alison: Hey take it easy you'll find the culprit you always do.
Jamual tries to smile
Jamual: Maybe so Ally but how many will have to suffer before I do.
Jamual shakes his head
Jamual: You know Ally girl I became a cop to make a difference, I wanted to make Port Charles a safe and wonderful place to live. I wanted to police department to not be a joke but a vital and succsesful part of the town. Something the people could believe in and be proud of.
Jamual sighs heavily and shakes his head. Alison takes his hands in hers.
Alison: And you have you have. Why do you think the crime rate has plumited, why do you think we are no longer plaged my mob activity. Jamual you've made this a wonderful place to live.
Jamual half laughs
Jamual: Yeah and a place where a phyco can run free killing left and right.
Alison: Hey now that's not fair. You've been working day in and day out on this case. You've given it all you have and it will pay off
Jamual: But when! When next week next month when! And how many more victems will there be before that! Alison if this case dosn't get solved soon I might as well hand in my badge. I promised to protect the people of this town and so far I've failed them.
Alison: Jamual Marcus Woods You are a wonderful detective and have been doing right by the people of Port Charles for years and everyone knows it. There is not a detective around that has never run into a difficult case. And that's exactly what you have infront of you a difficult case. You know one reason you are such a good detective is that you never give up.
Jamual: So why is no one behind bars!
Alison: Because unlike the detectives this town has had before you don't just go around arresting people. You make sure you know what you're doing first and that's why you always get the person in the end.
Alison wraps her arms around Jamual's neck
Alison: And you will this time to you will
Jamual sighs
Jamual: I hope you're right I really do.
Alison hugs him tightly.
Alison: It's going to be okay it's going to be okay.
Jamual holds onto Alison his eyes full of anguish. 

Joe arrives home feeling drained but still somewhat relieved at having gotten some of the anger and pain out. He comes into the house just as Rose, Joseph, and Gabriella are throwing on your coats.
Gabriella: Oh perfect timing I was just about to call you on your cell phone come on we have to go.
Gabriella starts shuving the group out the door.
Joe: Where are we going? What's wrong?
Gabriella sighs sadly
Gabriella: Alison called a little bit ago. There has been anuther murder.
Joe: Oh My God! This is insaine who?
Rose: Courtney we're going over to Uncle Franks right now.
Joe: What! Courtney is dead! Are you sure?
Joseph: She was found stabbed to death next to the gazeebo in the park according to the news.
Rose: Jamual still dosn't have any leads but he's working hard.
Gabriella: Anyways I thought we should go over and offer any help and support we can.
Joe nods
Joe: Absolutly Frank and I called it truths yesturday and even if we hadn't well this affects Neil to so we need to go.
The family jumps in their van and heads over to the Scanlon house.

Karen arrives home tired, stressed, and sad. She plops her coat down on the coutch.
Karen: Chris? Brian? Abby? Is anyone home? Hello?
She then sees a note on the coffie table and picks it up. 

Karen
Brian went over to Robert's house to work on a science project and Abby went to the mall with Lindsy and Erica. I had some arrends to run be back soon.
Love Chris 

Karen sighs and plops back on the coutch.
Karen: Great just great.
She closes her eyes trying to block out the mornings events and her throbing headache. Just then Chris comes in. He sees her resting on the coutch and comes over to her.
Chris: Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes.
Karen takes one look at him and just flings her arms around him and starts crying. Chris is starteled and concerned. He holds her tight and rubs her back.
Chris: Hey what's the matter what I was gone to long?
Chris tries kidding with her hoping it will calm her. Karen pulls back and rubs her face then sighs
Chris: Is it your Dad he's okay isn't he?
Karen nods
Karen: Yeah he's doing great he'll probubly be able to go home in a few days.
Chris takes her hands in his
Chris: So what has you so upset?
Karen: Oh Chris the killer has struck again.
Chris gasps
Chris: What! You're kidding me! That's awful when where who?
Karen sighs
Karen: Courtney
Chris gasps
Chris: What!
Karen: Neil and Serena found her stabed in the chest. She was laying next to the gazeebo
Chris: And let me guess there was a red J on the gazeebo.
Karen: Drawn with her blood. Who ever this is is one twisted soul.
Chris: To say the least. Neil found her?
Karen nods
Chris: Wow that had to be hard.
Karen nods
Karen: It's hard on all of them.
Karen gets a distant look on her face. Chris takes her hand in his.
Chris: Hey who ever is doing this they will get them.
Karen: But that won't bring any of the victems back.
Chris sighs and pulls Karen into an embrace.
Chris: No no it won't. 

Neil and Serena stopped on the way to the Scanlon house to pick up some groceries so that they won't have to worry about it for awhile. When they arrive they Find Frank sitting quietly on the coutch tears silently slidding dow his face. They go over to him and sit down beside him.
Neil: Dad?
Frank turns to his eldest and sees his pain reflected in his sons eyes. The two men embrace and hug tightly.
Serena: I'll just go put all this food away.
Serena leaves the room so Frank and Neil can talk.
Frank: How are you holding up?
Neil sighs
Neil: I'm not sure. I don't think it's really sunk in yet. I mean the idea that I'm never going to
Neil gets chocked up and takes a deep breath. Frank rests his hand on his sons shoulder.
Frank: I know I know I've been sitting here trying to wrap my head around the idea I'll never see her again and I I just can't.
He wipes his face and sighs sadly.
Neil: I just can't believe this has happend. I mean who would do such a thing! Mom may have had her faults and I know she had some enimies but she didn't deserve this.
Frank: No one does.
Frank shakes his head
Frank: I keep thinking this must be some kind of mistake and she's going to walk through that door any second or call and tell me she'll be home soon.
Neil nods
Neil: When I found her I kept thinking this isn't happening. I'm dreaming that's all this is just some awful nightmare. I'm going to wake up screaming any second now.
Frank nods
Frank: I wish it was a nightmare. You know the whole way to the hospital I kept trying to convince myself that nothing was wrong. That she had some minor minor injury and was making a federal case out of it.
Neil almost smiles
Neil: That would have been like Mom wouldn't it.
Frank nods
Frank: I figured it was either that or away to get back at me for last night. I've never prayed so hard for her to be scheming in my life.
Neil nods
Neil: What was the fight about anyways?
Frank shakes his head
Frank: The past. You see Joe came by yesturday and we talked. We had this really great conversation and ended up calling it truths. We spent most of the day together.
Neil: That's great I know how much you've missed being close to him.
Frank nods
Frank: Well your Mom didn't think it was so great. She came in saw him here and ameaditly it was like we transported back intime. Before I new it they were in this big argument. I basicly told them both to cool it. I told your mom Joe was welcome here anytime and we'd worked things out and I told Joe to keep himself in check. She stormed into the kitchen he stormed out of the house. later we were making dinner and your Mom and I started arguing over my choice to give Joe a chance. I was rather blunt about the fact that she's done some not so great things in her life to. She didn't like that and left the house. I went on with my evening expecting her to come home and that we'd make up. But
Frank trails off
Neil: She never came home?
Frank shakes his head
Frank: I fell asleep about 1 waiting for her when I got up this smorning she wasn't there. I tried to convince myself that she had been home and left before I got up but
Neil: There was no sign that she had been?
Frank: No then Serena called.
Frank rugs his face
Frank: Oh God if only we hadn't argued
Neil puts his arms around Frank
Neil: Dad don't
Frank: Don't what don't state the facts?
Neil: Dad you couldn't possibly have known what would happen and if this phyco was planning on getting Mom then they would have waited.
Frank sighs
Frank: In my head I know you're right but I don't know about my heart.
Neil nods
Neil: So where are Angel and Frankie?
Just then Serena walks in
Serena: I put everything away.
Frank turns
Frank: Oh thanks Serena I really aprieate you both stopping at the grocery for us
Serena rests her hand on Franks shoulder
Serena: Hey that's what families are for. So where are Angel and Frankie?
Frank: They both went up to their rooms as soon as we got home.
Neil: Maybe I should go talk to Frankie.
Frank: Yeah he could probubly use his big brother right about now.
Neil nods
Neil: I'm on it.
Neil heads upstairs.
Serena: I'll go check on Angel
Frank: Thanks Serena
Serena: No problem
She heads upstairs. Frank gets up and slowly walks around the room. He sees a picture of him and Courtney and picks it up. He stairs at it sadly as tears fall on it.
Frank: You always did have to cause a stir didn't you.
He shakes his head sadly.
Frank: I love you Court I'll always love you and I'm going to miss you.
Frank starts sobbing and sits holding the picture to his chest. 

Chris and Karen lay in their bed snuggiling. Karen has finelly drifted off to sleep. Chris watches her tenderly. He sighs cleary distracted by other thoughts. Suddenly he hears voices and laughter in the apartment. He dosn't want want Karen to be woken she was so upset when she drifted off to sleep. He quetly gets out of bed and gose out into the living room.
Abby: Hey Dad want to see what we bought!
Chris smiles at his daughter
Chris: Maybe in a bit right now I need the three of you to keep it down. Your mom is sleeping and she's had a really rough morning.
Abby looks at her father with concern
Abby: What happend is everything okay?
Chris: She's okay but she lost a paitent this morning.
Abby nods and looks at her friends
Abby: She takes death of a paitent very hard always has.
Erica: That's so sad was
Abby: Erica, Lindsy go on back to my room I'll be right there.
They nod and head out. Abby looks at her Dad knowingly
Abby: Okay Dad what is going on? And don't say nothing I know you and Mom way to well to buy that. It's more then just a paitent isn't it.
Chris sighs and shakes his head.
Chris: You sure are quick.
Abby: Yeah well I get it from you so what gives.
Chris sighs
Chris: You know Courtney Scanlon?
Abby: Yeah she is the one that's been causing us all trouble.
Chris nods
Chris: Well the J killer stabbed her and she died this morning. That's the paitent your mom lost.
Abby gasps
Abby: Oh My God! Well at least she can't cause trouble for us anymore.
Chris: Abby!
Abby: Oh come off it Dad she caused us nothing but trouble and I've heard you say more then once the world would be a better place with out her. Sure it's to bad she died but why should we shed any tears over it.
Chris sighs
Chris: Just be sensitive to your Mom okay she's really shaken by this.
Abby: Hey aren't I always. I can't help I think lilke you.
Abby walks on back to her room Chris watches her and shakes his head. Then grabs his coat and leaves. 

Serena and Angel come solumly downstair. Frank walks over and hugs his daughter. They hold on to each other and cry a little.
Frank: You okay?
Angel shakes her head.
Angel: I don't know I mean I'm not sure how anything can be okay. I know life will go on I just don't see how.
Frank nods and hugs her.
Frank: Me either me either.
Serena: It will get easier that much I can promis you.
Angel looks at Serena and tries to smile.
Angel: Thanks I don't even know if that's what I should hope for though.
Serena puts her arm around Angel
Serena: ofcourse you should. You mom wouldn't want you to spend your life grieving her death she'd want you to live life to the fullest. You won't be letting go of her just of the pain.
Angel sighs
Angel: Well I could handle that.
Neil and Frankie come downstairs.
Frankie: Handle what?
Angel turns towards her brother.
Angel: Letting go of the pain of loosing mom.
Frankie: Be easier if the scum that did this was behind bars.
Frank puts his arm around his son reasuringly.
Frank: I know I know.
Neil: Hopefully it won't take long.
Serena squezes Neil's hand.
Serena: Jamual will get this person I just know it.
Angel: But how long is it going to take Serena and how many people have to suffer before that! We have three dead bodies and three people who almost died and still no arrests how much more is this going to take!
Serena looks down sadly
Serena: I wish I knew.
Neil: I know Jamual is working hard but sometimes hard isn't good enough.
Frank nods in agreement.
Frank: I agree it's taking to long but that's not Jamuals fault. This killer is good really good.
Angel: There was speculation that it is Julie do you think it is?
Frank sighs
Frank: Well since Julie has been raising Christina I am going to hope for her sake it's not Julie. Julie is the only mother Christina has ever known.
Serena: That's true I mean I'd like to think Julie was at least trying to be good.
Serena sighs
Serena: Though I'm not sure Christina is even alive at this point.
Neil takes her by the shoulders
Neil: Serena we will see her again I just know it.
They hug.
Serena: I guess that's one area where there is still hope.
Frankie: So now what?
Neil: Well I think Serena needs to get over to the light house.
Serena: Neil no
Neil: Serena your mom almost died because of this monster your family is very lucky. Lucy is coming home today and you need to be there. You can't waiste a single second.
Serena: But I want to be here for you.
Neil: I'll be fine don't worry. I'm here with my family and it's not like you're going to be gone all day.
Serena sighs
Serena: Are you sure?
Neil: I'm positive
Angel: Oh yes Serena you're so lucky she is okay you should deffinetly go over there.
Frank: Deffinetly I'm sure Lucy is expecting you.
Just then there is a knock at the door. Neil goes over and opens it. In walks Joe, Gabriella, Joseph, and Rose.
Everyone stairs for a minute.
Gabriella: Alison called and told us what happend we thought we should come over.
Neil: I'm glad you came.
Joe hugs Neil. Frank smiles and shakes his head seeing how strong the bond still is.
Frankie: GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! YOU HATED MY MOM YOU PROBUBLY DID THIS! THEY STILL THINK YOU TRIED TO KILL MY DAD!
Frank: FRANKIE
Joseph: HEY DON'T YOU TALK TO MY DAD LIKE THAT! WE CAME OVER BECAUSE WE ARE FAMILY YOU LITTLE PUNK!

Angel: FRANKIE QUIT IT NOW!
Neil, Frank, and Joe pry the two apart they are still swinging at each other and screaming.
Frank: GIVE IT A REST FRANKIE NOW!!
Frankie: BUT IT'S HIS FAULT IT'S HIS FAULT!!
Frankie starts bawling Frank holds his son tightly.
Frank: No Frankie no we don't know that and I refuse to believe that that is true.
Joe is trying to calm Joseph down.
Joseph: HOW DARE HE!
Gabriella: Joseph this is no time for fighting now pull yourself together now.
Joseph: But
Joe: Listen to me anger dosn't solve anything I should know that. I apriceate you sticking up for me but it's not nessisary and further more Frankie dosn't know me well enough to not believe the rummors.
Rose is crying
Rose: We do not deserve to be treated like lepers just cause you have a temper.
Angel: You're absolutly right.
Angel hugs Rose
Angel: All of our emotions are running on high right now and it makes everything difficult.
Frankie has pulled himself together.
Frankie: I'm sorry it's just I know Joe and Mom fought last night.
Neil puts his hand on Frankie's shoulder.
Neil: Frankie people argue all the time and Mom and Joe have been fighting for decades that dosn't prove anything. Besides I do know Joe well enough to know he didn't do this.
Gabriella: Frank I'm sorry about this maybe we shoudn't have come
Frank: No no don't be silly you're family. Families fight sometimes it's just the way it goes.
Joe makes his way over to Frank.
Joe: Speaking of which Frank I''m so sorry I know how much you loved her.
Joe hugs Frank the two brothers hug while Frank cries some
Frank: Thanks I don't think it's really set in all the way yet.
Joe nods.

Joe leaves as Frank Joseph and Rose head out for a game. 

Scott is sitting in his hospital bed when there is a knock at the door.
Scott: Come in?
Randy comes in looking very solume. Scott looks at his young daughter taken aback for a minute at how much like her mother she really looks.
Scott: Hey there lady bug.
Randy half laughs
Randy: Dad don't you think I'm a little old for that nick name.
She goes over and hugs her Dad then plops down on the bed. Scott thinks for a minute.
Scott: Well lets see I still call Serena apple sauce and she's a good amount older then you so no I don't think so at all.
He smiles at her lovingly. Randy thinks for a minute considering something
Scott: Uh oh I see those wheels turning up there what are you thinking come on.
Randy: Just that right about now I'm glad I'm not to old to be your lady bug.
Scott sighs
Scott: Me to
They embrace holding each other for a minute as tears come to their eyes. Then they pull back wiping their faces.
Scott: So where is your brother?
Randy: Brian is at home. He didn't feel like going out today. He hasn't really since
Randy gets chocked up Scott takes his daughters hands and squezes them.
Scott: It will get easier.
Scott cups Randy's chin in his hand and lifts her face up.
Scott: Randy it will.
Randy half smiles
Randy: I really want to believe that Dad I really do but.
Randy starts crying Scott pulls her inclose and holds her.
Randy: I'm so scared Dad I'm so scared.
Scott rocks her side to side and rubs her back.
Scott: I know baby I know. 

Over at the light house the welcome home party is well under way. Kevin, Lucy, Faith, and Hope are sitting on the coutch eating drinking laughing and talking as as best of the Blues plays.
Hope: I still can't believe you actually like this music! It's so whinny!
Lucy laughs
Faith: Oh yeah and your music taste is so evolved.
Hope: Butt out will ya
Kevin: Hey come on you to quite it
Lucy: Well what can I say there is something about the blues. You know it's like it can tutch a part of you deep inside and I don't know it just moves you. Like sometimes when I listen if I'm sad it cheers me up for if I'm happy it just makes me feel introspectful.
Hope: How can the blues cheer you up?
Lucy laughs
Lucy: I don't know Hope it just does. Actually there are other reasons I like it.
Hope: Like what?
Lucy gets a distant look in her eyes.
Lucy: It reminds me of an old friend I had a long time ago.
Kevin squezes Lucy's hand
Kevin: Luke?
Lucy smiles sadly and nods
Lucy: Yeah Luke. You girls wouldn't remember him he died when you were both very young.
Faith: He ment alot to you huh?
Lucy nods wiping her cheeck
Lucy: Yeah he was one of my best friends. He was someone who would always listen to me, always tried to help me, always had time for me and who just got me. We had alot of crazy times together and I'll always charish those times.
Hope: But how do the blues remind you of him?
Lucy: Because he was the biggest fan of the blues there ever was. I think he had every blue's song ever writen. He even owned his own blues club we used to hang out there alot.
Faith: How did he die?
Lucy sighs sadly and shakes her head.
Lucy: Helena Cassidine was trying to kill Lukes son Lucky. Don't ask me to go into that story we'll be here for a decade.
Lucy says chuckiling Kevin smiles noding.
Lucy: Anyways One night down on the docs Helena was planning to shoot Lucky, Luke got wind of this and headed down to the docs in search of Helena who was fallowing Lucky. Anyways he found Helena watching Lucky who was standing near the end of the pier look out at the water. She was aiming a gun right at the back of Lucky's head.
The girls gasp.
Faith: Oh My God that's awful!
Hope: What happend?
Lucy nods
Lucy: Well Luke new he didn't have a minute to loose so he lunged for Helena. They struggled with the gun
Lucy shakes her head sadly as she gets chocked up.
Lucy: The gun went off and shot Luke. Lucky managed to get the gun away from Helena. He had run over to try and help when he heard the comotion. But
Lucy shakes her head sadly
Hope: It was to late?
Lucy nods
Lucy: He was gone before the ambulance ever got there.
They all look down sadly. Lucy wipes her face and takes a deep breath.
Lucy: Okay enough of this come on this is supposed to be a party right come on.
Lucy glances at her watch.
Lucy: I wonder where Serena is?
Just then the door bell rings.
Kevin: I'll get it that's probubly her now.
Kevin goes to the door and finds a very upset looking Serena standing there.
Kevin: Serena are you okay?
Serena: I'm not sure
Serena comes everyone sees that Serena has been crying.
Lucy: What is it pumpkin head? Oh God it's your father isn't it?!
Lucy goes pale with worry
Serena: What oh no no he's fine he's doing fine.
Kevin: Then what's wrong?
Serena takes a deep breath.
Serena: This morning when Neil and I were walking over to the hospital together.
Serena takes a deep breath and rubs her face. Lucy comes over and hugs her. Then takes her hands in hers.
Lucy: What's wrong?
Serena: We found Courtney laying next to the Gazeebo with a knife sticking out of her chest and a big red J writen on the Gazeebo.
Everyone gasps in horrer.
Serena: She didn't make it.
Kevin is as white as a ghost
Kevin: Oh God
Lucy: What Oh My God! Courtney as in Nei's mother as in Frank's wife! She's dead! Are you sure?!
Faith: This is a nightmare!
Hope: When the hell is this going to end!
Lucy: I just can't believe this is happening! How is Neil? How is Frank? Oh those poor babies!
Serena: They are all pretty devistated.
Kevin has a sick feeling in his stomach and his head is spinning. He walks over to the french doors and goes outside. He walks into the yard and stairs up at the sky tears of anguish in his eyes. He is so preocupied with trying to make sence of it he dosn't hear the footsteps behind him. Suddenly with out worning someone hits him over the head and everything goes dark.

Jamual is in his office on the phone with the FBI while Alison goes to get them something to eat.
Jamual: And you are sure it's not some kind of trick? This could be a set up. I mean come on man Julie Ramsey is one smart nut.
Jamual sighs and rubs his face.
Jamual: Well that sounds pretty deffinet. Okay thanks I guess we can take her off the suspect list. Yeah let me know what else you find. Okay bye.
Jamual hangs up and in frustration slams his fist against the desk as Alison walks in
Jamual: DAMMIT!
Alison: Woah take it easy.
Alison sets the food down on the desk as she looks at Jamual's tormented face, Alison becomes concerned and moves over to him.
Alison: Jamual what's wrong?
She kneels down in front of him
Alison: There hasn't been anuther murder has there?!
Jamual sighs and shakes his head.
Jamual: No, no nothing like that.
Jamual rubs his face tiredly
Jamual: Although I guess it's only a matter of time before there is anuther murder huh.
Jamual flops back in his chair with a defeated look on his face. Alison gets a determend look on her face and puts her hands on his shoulder as she looks him directly in the eyes.
Alison: Jamual Woods what is this defeated attitude you're giving me that is not you.
Jamual: The bottem just fell out of my strongest lead.
Alison sighs sympatheticly taking his hands in hers.
Alison: Oh no I'm sorry what happend?
Jamual: The FBI has been working to find any clues that might link Julie to this.
Alison: And they couldn't find anything?
Jamual snorts
Jamual: Oh they found something alright Julie is dead. She's been dead now a little over a year!
Jamual's sighs Alison gasps
Alison: What are you sure? I mean couldn't she have faked her death or something.
Jamual sighs and shakes his head.
Jamual: No they interviewed the doctors at a clinic she was going to for treatment of her breast cancer. They pernounced her dead and showed the FBI her chart and her deaths sertificate. We also exhumed her body and did tests it's her. That's probubly why we were able to track her suddenly when we've never been able to before.
Alison nods
Alison: Well I guess on the bright side we have one less suspect.
Jamual: But we now have no strong suspects either. We know Kevin was being framed and the evidence against Chris and Joe is so week air would break it!
Alison strokes Jamual's face.
Alison: Oh Jamual I'm sorry.
Jamual: Yeah me to
Jamual sighs
Jamual: I'm going to go look over the evidence again. Why don't you head on over to the Scanlon's.
Alison: Okay are you going to come later on?
Jamual shakes his head.
Jamual: No I need to stay here and work. Tell Frank how sorry I am and that I am going to find this creap if it's the last thing I do.
Alison hugs him
Alison: I'm sure you will find the killer. I have absolute faith in you Jamual.
Alison stands up grabs her purse.
Alison: You will Jamual I have no doubt you will.
She kisses him softly. Jamual smiles
Jamual: Thanks
Alison leaves.
Jamual sighs
Jamual: I wish I had your faith Ally girl I wish I did.
Jamual gets up and heads to the evidence room. 
Serena, Lucy, Faith, and Hope are sitting on the coutch. Lucy shakes her head sadly
Lucy: Courtney dead I I just can't believe this!
Serena: When we found her I remember my head was just swimming. I was trying so hard to focus and do my job but the whole time
Serena sighs and shakes her head sadly. Lucy puts her arm around Serena re suringly.
Lucy: Oh pumpkin I'm sure you did great, You're a great doctor.
Serena: But not good enough
Serena shakes her head and rubs her face.
Serena: Dammit Why couldn't I help her! why couldn't I save her!
Lucy hugs Serena tightly. Then looks at her strongly.
Lucy: Now you listen to me Serena you are a wonderful doctor and I have no doubt that you did all anyone could have done for her. If you couldn't save her then no one could it's as simple as that. Now I am not going to sit hear and listen to you beat yourself up over this. It is not your fault that some sicko decided to stab Courtney and I won't here anuther word about it you understand.
Faith: You better listen to her Serena I know that look it's the same one she gets when Dad puts himself down. She means business.
They all laugh a little. Serena smiles.
Serena: Well then I guess I have no choice do I.
Lucy: None.
They hug
Hope: Hey where is Dad anyways.
everyone looks around.
Lucy: Doc?
There is no anwser. Serena sees the patio door is open.
Serena: The back door is open maybe he's outside.
Lucy gets up and goes outside.
Lucy: Doc? Doc are you out here?
Lucy looks around the vacent back yard and listens as an eary silence envolopes the out side. She shivers
Lucy: Oh no Doc?!
There is no anwser. Lucy runs inside and grabs the phone.
Hope: Is he out there?
Serena: Mom what's wrong you're shaking.
Lucy ignors them as she dials.
Voice: Hello
Lucy: Yes this is Lucy Collens I need to speak with Mac Scorpio ameadeitly it's an emergancy! 

Karen slowly wakes up in her quite room and sighs. She stretches as she looks at the clock to see what time it is. She sighs tiredly
Karen: I better get up.
Karen drags herself out of bed and as she enters the hall she smells something absolutly delishus coming from the kitchen. When she enters she finds Christopher mixing something in a bowl.
Christopher: Hi Mom Abby told me how you lost a paitent so I thought I'd make you your favorite dessert.
Karen smiles and hugs her son.
Karen: You really are a mothers dream come true you know that.
Christopher blushes.
Christopher: Hey keep it down I have a reputation to keep.
Karen laughs
Karen: Yes sir, so you need any help?
Christopher shakes his head.
Christopher: No the cake is baking right now and I'm almost done mixing this icing.
Karen: Sounds like you have everything under controle. Can I lick the bowl?
Christopher rolls his eyes
Karen laughs
Karen: So where is Abby?
Christopher: On the phone as usual.
Karen nods.
Karen: Well I'm sure she'll get off for a peace of this cake. So where is your Dad?
Christopher: I'm not sure he wasn't here when I got home.
Karen: Oh he probubly had to run some arrends or something. Well tell you what since you're doing such a great job making this cake how about if I make your favorite dinner
Christopher's face lights up.
Christopher: Barbaque Chicken and Corn on the cob!
Karen: You guessed it.
Karen goes to the fridge and soon the two are cooking and laughing together. 

Alison pulls up infront of the Scanlon house. She looks at the house sadly and sighs. She remembers all the dinners, holidays, special ocasions, and just random visits that her and Jamual have had at this house over the years.
Alison: Even when Jamual catches this monster things never really will be the same.
She shakes her head misrably and starts up the walk. Just then she hears a voice call out to her. She turns and sees Gabriella and Angel walking up the side walk. She runs over to them and hugs Angel tightly.
Alison: Oh Angel I'm so so sorry. I know it dosn't help much but Jamual is searching day in and day out and he will find the killer soon. I promis your mother's killer will be punished. Is there anything I can do for you? Anything at all?
Alison holds onto Angel's hands tightly. Angel half smiles through her tears.
Angel: No I don't think so. Just knowing you are here helps. You and Jamual have always been like family to us. It's good to have you here.
Alison hugs Angel again
Alison: And I'll be here as long as you need me.
Angel pulls back wiping her face.
Alison: So how are you holding up?
Angel: OKay I guess. Aunt Gabby and I have just been walking and talking some.
Alison smiles at her old friend.
Alison: Gabriella is good at listening isn't she.
Angel nods
Angel: And at advice giving.
Gabriella: Well when you speak from the heart it isn't so hard. Does Jamual have any leads?
Alison sighs sadly
Alison: Well he's been able to scratch one more suspect off the list. So interms of narrowing it down I guess that's good.
Angel: Well some progress is better then none. Who has he ruled out?
Alison: Julie it isn't her.
Angel sighs
Angel: That was his strongest lead.
Alison: I know believe me he isn't happy about it either.
Angel: Well I guess that's good for Christina. I'd hate to think my half sister was being raised by a killer.
Alison nods in agreement.
Gabriella: Is he sure it's not her? I mean she may be crazy but Julie is one smart cookie.
Alison: Yeah he's sure he's found concreate evidence. It seems Julie died a little over a year ago of breast cancer.
Angel: Oh My God that's awful!
Gabriella: Yeah that rules her out. I guess that explains how he found out easily huh.
Alison nods
Angel: What about Christina did he find her?
Alison: Jamual didn't mention her so I'm guessing there was no trace.
Gabriella: That's odd.
Alison: Well I'm sure once Jamual has found the killer he'll focuse on finding Christina. Although seeing as how she's an adult now it really will be up to her as to wether or not she comes back to Port Charles.
Angel: I hope she does I'd love to meet her.
Gabriella: It is something to look forward to although I guess we really don't know what kind of person she is.
Angel: Well she is part of my Dad so I can't imagen her being anything but wonderful.
Alison: How is Frank?
Angel: He's devistated but you know Dad he's tough.
Alison nods
Alison: Yeah he'll pull through.
Gabriella: Why don't we go inside and get some food before Joe eats everything he brought
They all laugh
Alison: Waite Joe's over here? What am I missing here?
Gabriella: Oh My Gosh with everything that happend I forgot to call you! This morning Joe came over saranaided me in the rain apoligized and asked for anuther chance. He even agreed to theripy and had his first session today.
Alison hugs Gabby happily.
Alison: Oh Gabriella I'm so happy for you! I new Joe would come to his sences congradulations! I'm so glad the two of you are back together.
Gabriella smiles
Gabriella: Me to
Angel: I think a little light must have turned on in his head or something cause last night he came over and had this long talk with Dad. They've completly made up and are best friends again it's great.
Alison: Oh I'm so glad I always prayed things would work out. It's so great the families have come together again.
Angel: Not a moment to soon.
Angel sighs sadly. Gabriella puts an arm around her reasuringly.
Gabriella: Better late then never. Come on lets go inside.
The three some head into the house. Frank hearing the door open comes in from the kitchen
Frank: Joe is that you?
Gabriella: No it's just us and Alison. Joe isn't back yet? I thought he was just going over to Kelly's?
Alison: Hi Frank
Alison gives Frank a huge hug.
Frank half smiles
Frank: Ahh that's just what I needed. Thanks for coming over.
Alison: Hey anything for my suragate Dad.
Frank: I''m sure Angel has already asked you but
Alison shakes her head sadly.
Alison: I'm sorry Frank no news there. But I promis you Jamual is working round the clock to figure this out. I know that's not much comfort right now but
Frank shakes his head.
Frank: You know all I ever ask of those aroumd me is they do their best, I know Jamual he's as much my son as Frankie and Neil are I have no doubt he's doing all he can.
Frank then looks over at Gabriella's worried face.
Frank: I'm sure Joe will be back soon Gabby. Rose and Joseph are in the kitchen they wanted to make something. So I'm helping them make a pretty good mess and if we are lucky a chocolate cake to.
This causes some much needed laughter.
Angel: Is Frankie still upstairs maybe he'd like to help?
Frank: No Neil took him out for some pizza and video games.
Frank looks reflectful for a moment.
Frank: He is so much like I was when I was younger.
Alison smiles
Angel: Well then I guess they don't get to lick the bowl come on.
Frank, Alison, Angel, and Gabriella head to the kitchen. 

Lucy is pacing nurvesly back and forth as Hope, Faith, and Serena try to calm her down.
Serena: Mom please try to calm down. How about if I make you some hot tea.
Lucy: I will not calm down! Not untill I see my Doc come through that door!
Faith: Mom don't you think you're over reacting just a little? He probubly just went for a walk or something.
Lucy: With out telling any of us! You know he disapeared right after he heard the news about Courtney!
Hope: So he probubly went to clear his head it's alot to absorb and you know how emotional he gets.
Lucy: Which is exactly why I need to find him! He is out there somewhere probubly blaiming himself! I will not have that I have to find him!
Lucy grabs her coat just as the door bell rings. Serena takes her by the arm.
Serena: Mom come on you shouldn't get yourself so worked up you just got out of the hospital.

Mac: Hi everyone Lucy it's great to see you out of the hospital.
Mac then notices Lucy's panicked look Lucy runs to him.
Lucy: Mac we have to find Kevin we have to find him right now! Something horrible has happend I just know it!
Lucy starts crying. Mac hugs her then looks at her as he holds her hands.
Mac: Lucy Kevin is my best friend you know I'll do all can to help him. Now take a deep breath and tell me what's wrong.
Lucy takes a breath trying to compose herself.
Lucy: We were all sitting here in the living room when Serena came over and told us about Courtney. We were all naturally shocked. Suddenly we noticed Kevin wasn't in the room. We saw the back door was open but when I went outside he was no where to be seen. Oh Mac I know something is wrong we have to find him we have to!
Mac: Couldn't he have just gone on a walk?
Lucy sighs exsasperatedly.
Lucy: No he didn't just go on a walk! Come on Mac know Kevin! He just left with out saying a word right after we got the news about Courtney! You know how he is!
Mac sighs and nods
Mac: Yeah I do okay I'll put out an APB on him and I'll drive around and check some places he might have gone. I'll also call Lucky to let him know what's going on.
Lucy: Okay great lets go!
Lucy tries to go to the door but Mac grabs her.
Mac: Lucy no you need to stay here
Lucy pulls her arm away
Lucy: What do you mean I need to stay here that is my Doc out there!
Serena: Mom please you just got out of the hospital you need to calm down. You will be no good to anyone if you winde up back in the hospital.
Mac: Exactly Kevin wouldn't want you out there and further more you need to stay by the phone incase he calls.
Lucy looks around at the determend faces
Lucy: Okay okay I I guess I can stay here but you have to find him Mac please
Mac: Lucy I will I promis. I better go I'll call as soon as I know something.
Mac quickly leaves. Serena leads Lucy to the coutch.

Frankie half smiles at his big brother. He heads over to the race car game when suddenly Randi Baldwin steps infront of it and insets several tokens.
Frankie: Hey what gives I was going to play that!
Randi rolls her eyes.
Randi: Well I got here first pal.
Frankie: Oh yeah I bet you don't know the first thing about race cars.
Randi cocks her head at stairs at him
Randi: Watch and learn jock boy.
Randi puts her hands on the wheel and starts playing the game vigorusly. Frankie is stunned as he watches she beats the game three times in a row. She turns to him and folds her arms with a cocky grin.
Randi: Now what were you saying about me not knowing anything about racing.
Frankie stairs at her aw struck.
Frankie: Wow your Dad must be a real big fan of race car driving huh.
Randi gets a distant look in her eyes.
Randi: Actually it was my Mom she tought me everything I know about racing.
Randi swallows hard trying to hide the tears. Frankie nods solumly.
Frankie: My mom tought me alot of stuff to.
Randi looks at Frankie closely at sees the tears in his eyes.

Scott is sitting in his bed reading when there is a nock at his hospital room door.
Scott: Come in
Brian quetly enters. Brain looks at his only son standing there trying to look so strong. Scott only has to look in his eyes to see how broken he really is feeling. They are so much alike.
Brian: Hi
Scott: Hey there Tiger come on over here.
Brian comes over and sits on his Dad's bed.
Scott: So how are you doing?
Brian shrugs.
Brian: I don't know.
Brian rubs his hair nurvesly
Brian: It's like I keep expecting Mom to walk through my door and see if my home work is done, or tell me to clean the dishes, or just give me a hug. I walked into the kitchen earlier today and actually half expected to see her there. Then I remember.
Brian shakes his head sadly and turns away from his Dad so he won't see him cry.
Scott puts his hand on his sons arm.
Scott: You know it's okay to cry.
Brian and Scott embrace as Brian gives in to his tears for a bit. Then Brian pulls himself together and sits up.
Brian: Dose it get easier.
Scott thinks
Scott: Yes, yes it gets much easier. You never forget but eventchually the good memories out way the saddness and pain enough that you can remember with a smile and remembering becomes a pleasure.
Brian: I hope so. Can we talk about something else?
Scott rubs his own tired and sad face
Scott: Yeah sure so how are things at the house?
Brian shrugs.
Brian: Crazy first cops, reporters and everybody around was parading through the house trying to get a look. Then we got hit with an onslot of food from every person with in a 50 mile radius it seemed. People show up in the morning and as long as we are there they stay.
Brian rolls his eyes Scott nods understandingly.
Scott: Things like this make people want to stop and stare. They mean well but sometimes it dosn't feel that way I know.
Brian: Sometimes I feel like we're a freak show.
Scott: Well you're not and no one has the right to make you feel that way.
Brian: When will they stop staring and pointing and whispering and when is the SICKO THAT DID THIS GOING TO GET CAUGHT!
Brian kicks the stool across the room and starts crying. Scott pulls him close and holds him tight.
Scott: It's going to be okay it's going to be okay. I know it stinks and I'm as mad as can be. But you know being mad won't help. Your Mom is counting on us holding it together and working together you know.
Brian pulls back wiping his face.
Brian: Yeah I know I know but it just stinks
Scott: yeah it dose. But they will find this lone and I promis you when this sicko is found he or she is going right to sing sing.
Brian: But it won't bring her back

Brian shrugs
Brian: Yeah I guess. Can we talk about something else
Scott: Sure so you want to talk about that spring fling dance of yours? Have you asked anyone?
Brian: Well I was going to ask Vicky Adler but I don't know if I want to go now.
Scott: Brian we can't stop living Mom would be fureus if she thought we were doing that.
Scott takes his sons hand

Serena, Hope, and Faith are buzy in the kitchen making something for Lucy to eat.
Serena: Mom is going to love this!
Hope: I know for as long as I can remember Mom has loved Chocolate. So you know double chocolate chip cookies are going to get her mind off of things.
Serena: Oh deffinetly, I remember when I was young everytime the nurses ball or some other stressful thing came along the pantry would fill right up with chocolate.
Hope and Serena laugh
Hope: I know, the one food I never had to ask Mom to buy when I was little was chocolate.
Serena nods
Serena: The only time it was difficult was when I wanted to watch my weight.
Hope: I know what you mean.
Just then the girls notice how quite Faith is. She is silently by the counter helping mix the cookies but her thoughts are clearly far away.
Serena: Hey Faith you okay?
Hope: What are you thinking about?
Faith: What? Oh sorry I was just thinking about things.
Serena puts her arm around Faith
Serena: Hey don't worry Mac will find your Dad I just know it.
Faith: I'm sure he will it's just.
Hope: Just what?
Faith: Well I don't know Mom's behaivor just seems a little odd that's all.
Hope: What do you mean?
Faith: Well for starters since when dose she ever just give in to what people are telling her especially when Dad might be in danger. She bearly put up a fight! She wanted to go we told her she couldn't I figured a good hour fight at least before we'd end up all going with her. But she just sat down and asked for something to eat.
Hope thinks for a minute
Hope: That was kind of strange and why when she is so worried about Dad would she hustle all three of us out of the room. I mean you and me I can understand but Serena?
Serena: You don't think?
The girls all look at each other and run out of the kitchen.
Serena: Mom!!
Hope: Mom where are you?!
Faith: Mom are you here?!
The girls run around the light house un able to find her.
Hope checks the closet
Hope: Damit her coat is gone

Mac: What's wrong have you heard from Kevin?
Serena: No no we haven't heared from him. Listen Mom tricked us she only agreed to stay here so we'd leave her alone. While we were out of the room she left to look for Kevin. I have no Idea where she is.
Mac hits his fist against the steering wheel.
Mac: Dammit okay listen don't worry we'll find both of them.
Serena: Thanks I have to go Faith and Hope are waiting in the car we are joining the search buy.
Mac: No waite Serena!
Serena has already hung up and left the light house.

Mac sighs and heads on his way.

Gabby: Now this is comfort food
Alison: Nothing like chocolate cake that's for sure.

Angel gets chocked up. Gabriella puts her arms around her and hugs her.
Gabriella: I know I know.

Alison: It will get easier Frank I promis.
Rose: We should save some of ths cake for Frankie, Neil and Dad.
Joseph: Where is Dad anyways?
Angel looks at her watch
Angel: It is getting late
Just then the phone rings.
Frank: I bet that's him now.
Frank grabs the phone.
Frank: Hello?
Joe: Hi Frank it's Joe listen I'm sorry but I've gotten delayed I'll be back as soon as I can. There is just a few things I need to take care of I'm sorry.
Frank: Joe?
Joe: Frank I'll be back soon I promis I just have to take care of somethings bye
Joe hangs up Frank stairs at the phone clearly confused.
Gabriella: Frank what is it? Is Joe on his way?
Frank: What? Oh no uhm something came up he'll be back later.
Frank sits down trying to hide his worry. Gabriella notices but chooses not to say anything infront of the kids. 

Kevin comes to slowly. He opens his eyes and tries to peace everything together. He tries to speak but there is tape over his mouth he tries to move his feet and hands but they are tightly tied to the chair his is sitting in. He looks around. Slowly he realizes he is in the caticombs. He sees a cot near by. On the cot are letters, pictures, books and other materials, next to the bed is a small table. On the table is a huge number of lit candles they form a circle around a framed picture. Kevin strains to see the picture and gasps when he realizes the picture is of Julie. His heart races serten now that Julie is indeed the killer and the one who has kidnapped him. He suddenly hears footsteps his heart is pounding feaverishly. Suddenly he hears a disguized voice coming from an unseen spot.
Voice: You have hurt and destroyed those I love and now you must pay.
Someone dressed in black steps out from behind a corner. They lay a small contraption used to change ones voice down and step closer to Kevin. Kevin strains to see but this person is dressed all in black and has a mask on over their face.
Person: My plan is almost complete but it will not be complete untill you are dead.
Kevin is startled. Not only by the remark but by the fact that the voice dosn't sound like Julie's at all. The person finelly takes off their mask. Kevin stairs trying to put it together. The young woman turns from him and goes towards the table. She kneels down infront of the table and places a rose on it.
Person: I vowed the day you died to make those who hurt you pay. Tonight I keep my promise tonight revenge will be ours.
She blows a gentle kiss to the picture and stands looking now back at Kevin with absolute hate and distaine. Kevin stairs in utter disbelief as he realizes the killer, the attacker the kidnapper that stands before him is none other then Christina!

Jamual is sitting silently in the evidence room studying every shred of evidence. 
Jamual: If it's not Julie then what the hell is the J about! 
He slams the folder down on the desk. Then suddenly he remembers something Serena suggested awhile back. 
Jamual: Maybe it's someone connected to Julie? 
Jamual frowns unsertenly. Then grabs the phone and calls his friend in the FBI 
Jamual: Hey Clint listen when you found Julie was there any sign that she had contact with anyone from Port Charles say maybe a Chris Ramsey. She was married to him for a time. 
Jamual: Okay thanks 
Jamual continues looking over the evidence as Clint checks his own evidence. Soon Clint comes back to the phone. Jamual listens hopefully. 
Clint: Sorry Jamual there is no sign that she had any contact with anyone in the states since she left. 
Jamual sighs in frustration and rubs his face. 
Jamual: Okay thanks Clint. What about friends or family did she have any there? Did she re marry? 
Clint: No she never re married and as for friends well Julie and Christina lived a pretty seclueded life. I think the most people saw of her came when she had to start going to a clinic for treatment of her cancer. 
Jamual nods 
Jamual: Well what about Christina? Did you question her at all has she had contact with Mr. Ramsey? 
Clint: Actually we couldn't find Christina. 
Jamual: What do you mean you couldn't find her? Didn't she live with Julie? 
Clint: Well she deffinetly lived with her. Her pictures were everywhere and a good number of her clothes were still in the closet. But no one had seen her for for months. 
Jamual sighs 
Jamual: Dose anyone know where she might have gone? 
Clint: No one is really sure. Their neibors said that Christina was absolutly devistated by her mothers death and tried to kill herself about a month after her Mom died. She was treated and seemed to be getting better. Then suddenly she became very angry and a little crazy. People would hear her yelling at the top of her lungs in the house but as far as they know no one was there. She'd be seen muttering to herself in public, and doing all sorts of research on events that happend between 99 and 2000. She started calling the police at all hours claiming that people were trying to steel her. She'd go to her mothers grave and if you walked anywhere near her she'd start screaming that you were trying to hurt her mother. Then one day she seemed fine again. People saw her in the streets smiling and whistling. They said she seemed to be doing alot of shopping and was very buzy. One morning her neibors saw her get in her car with several suit cases and leave. But she never returned they called the cops and the police searched her place. All they found was the house badly dishevaled and some of her things along with Julie's things gone as well as her pass port missing. They talked to people down town and a bus driver remembered her getting on with a bunch of suitcases and getting off at the air port. 
Jamual: Any clue where she was heading? 
Clint: No she must have used fake ID's or something because there is no record of her flying anywhere. Where ever she was off to she didn't want anyone to know about. 
Jamual's heart starts racing as his mind starts peacing it all together. 
Jamual: Clint did anyone say if she mentioned people she was angry at or if she ever said anything about people that may have hurt her mother? 
Clint: Well the people at the clinic said Julie was always worried about her daughters safty and on many occasions talked about how there were terrible people after them. She told them this everytime they tried to get her to go to a more medicly advanced place to be treated. She'd explain how when she was young she had gotten mixed up with some horrible people that had chased her and her daughter into hiding. She said they were monsters and had tried to kill her and had managed to seperate her from her husband. 
Jamual: Did she ever name names or say any of this infront of Christina? 
Clint: Oh she always had Christina with her so yes Christina always heard this. As for names let me see. 
Clint looks for a minute as Jamual's mind races 
Clint: Well she never out right said the names at the clinic but when the cops searched the house after Christina disapeared they found Julie's diary laying open on Christina's bed. There were some pretty outrages claimes in it and some pretty horrible things she described. In there she did name names and since it was in Christina's room I'm guess Christina read it. 
Jamual: What names did she name? Were they in any order? 
Clint: Well she kept refering to the master of her pain as being Kevin Collins. That he had orcostrated her fall into hell as she put it. She stated that once she managed to exscape it much to his dismay he did everything he could to ruin her life. Then she talked about alot of other people who had hurt her. She even named them in order of things they'd done. Lets see the one she seemed to talk about the most next to Kevin was Frank Scanlon, then Rachel Lock, Lucy Coe, then Eve Lamburt and Scott Baldwin, and then a Courtney Kanelos. 
Jamual gasps as he puts it all together. 
Jamual: Okay Clint listen I want you to do what ever it takes to find her. Trace everything and report back any and all information to me at once no matter how small. 
Clint: Yes sir 
Jamual: Oh and Clint thanks 
Clint: You're welcome 
They hang up. Jamual sits back in his chair and absorbs it all 
Jamual: Oh My God Christina it's you isn't it. 
Chris parks his car by the side of the road and looks around him. There is no one in sight for miles he sighs tiredly. He slowly gets out of the car and begins walking. He comes soon to the spot he was looking for. He looks at the silent building and shakes his head. 
Chris: Sleeping buety's castle it never seems to change no matter when I come or how long between my visits. 
He shakes his head and walks in and goes to the room where he and Julie so long ago brought Christina into the world. He looks at the bed sadly then sits down on it. 
Chris: How am I supposed to make sence out of any of this Julie? I loved you I loved you with everything I had. I gave you all I could but it wasn't enough. You know Julie you'd think that after how you left, and after all this time my marraige to Karen and our buetiful kids I wouldn't love you anymore. That I wouldn't care about you or feel greif over your death but here I am full of greif, and full of concern for our little Christina. Where the hell is she? Is she okay? Is she safe? Why am I worried about a grown woman that's not even mine! Then we have people getting stabbed left and right and ofcourse everyone is looking to you but I'm telling you Julie I won't be the one to put their suspisions to rest. Do you have any idea how long it took me to rebuild my reputation and to gain trust in this town after you! I'm not about to even utter your name! Do I sound angry? Well maybe I am. God Julie you were so strong why did you take the cowerds way out! Why didn't you stay here with me! 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Don't get me wrong Julie I am happy with my life. Karen is a wonderful wife and a great mother. I have two super kids and a good carrier. I couldn't ask for more I really couldn't. But I'm telling you Julie sometimes late at night I still here your voice and sometimes when I'm just starting to wake up I see your face. When is that going to end Julie when. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: I guess you are wondering why I'm here? Why do I insist on coming back here when ever my mind is full. Julie this is where we began and where you chose for it to end. And now that you're gone it's the closest thing to a grave sight I can visit. What I don't know is why I was drawn here today. it's not like you know who the killer is or would be able or even willing to tell me. Look Julie I know you and I know your heart is good no matter what anyone else says. I guess I thought I'd get some knowledge coming here. Yeah I know that sounds silly. 
Chris shakes his head tiredly. 
Chris: Why do I even care. I know you saw good in me and I know Karen believes I'm good but most of the time I can't say I see it. Karen would say that I must or I wouldn't be here. You know Julie in the end we were both alot alike. Two lost souls convinced that being bad was better then being good. We thought that to protect ourselves we had to make enimies. I know you didn't always think like that. Before Greg you were nothing like that. Though I must say I think you always had it in you. I miss you even after all this time Julie I miss you. I miss Christina to I think I will always see her as mine. I know she never really was but in my heart she's my first born and there is nothing I wouldn't do for her. I just hope and pray where ever she is she's okay. I know you're watching over her but I wish I could be near her just the same. You know from the day she was born till now she always feels like mine. 
Chris sighs. 
Chris I imagen she always will. Why couldn't you have somehow let me known where she was before you died. You promised her on this very bed that I'd always be there for her but now you've made that imposible. 
Chris rubs his tired face and cries. Then over come with tiredness lays down on the bed and falls asleep. As he sleeps he starts dreaming he sees a person in his dream stabing people. The person has on a mask. Chris runs to the person and grabs them when they turn around their mask comes off. While he dosn't recognize the face he knows exactly who it is. Chris gasps. He wakes up in a cold sweat. 
Chris: NOOOOO! 
Chris tries to catch his breath as his heart races. 
Chris: That's it isn't it. Oh God that's it! 
He jumps up and runs from the place to his car and drives off feaverishly. 

Kevin stairs at Christina in utter disbelief. She walks over to him with pure rage in her eyes. 
Christina: YOU DESTROYED MY FAMILY, AND KILLED MY MOTHER YOU BASTERED!! 
She raises her and and slaps Kevin across the face as hard as she can. Christina takes a deep breath re composing herself. 
Christina: You have gotten away with your evil actions for far to long. Tonight my Mother will get her revenge. 
Christina walks back over to the little table with the candles and picture of Julie on it. She picks up the picture and strokes it lovingly. 
Christina: Oh Mama I miss you so much. 
She wipes a tear from her face and places the picture back on the table then turns back to Kevin. 
Christina: Tonight you will pay. But first want to make sure that pompus brain of yours understands your crimes. 
She picks up a tablet off the cot stands infront of Kevin glairing at him and clears her throat. 
Christina: In 1998 you aided in the brain washing and framing of my mother for crimes she didn't commit. GULTY!
Christina wips Kevin across the face hard with a metle buckle attached to a belt. 
Christina: in the late summer and early fall of 99 you did all you could to stop my parants from getting married. You even stooped to having her thrown into a mental hospital which she clearly did not need! GUILTY! 
Christina wips Kevin across the face again with the buckle. 
Christina: In the late fall of 99 and early winter of 2000 you did all you could to keep my mother locked up and away from me for things she wouldn't do all because she wouldn't sleep with you!! GUILTY!! 
Christina wips Kevin across the face again. 
Christina: In the winter and early spring of 2000 you spread slanderus lies about my mother and did all you could to ruin her life! You tried to stop her from having friends, from being trusted from even having a job! You did all you could to make her life misrable! GUILTY! 
Christina wips him again across the face. 
Christina: Then in the spring of 2000 you helped that evil baby snacher Lucy kidnap me from my parants! You evil sicko! THOSE WERE MY PARANTS! 
Christina violently slaps the wip across his face several times. Then recomposes herself. Guilty. 
Christina: I was Julie and Chris's daugher Kevin I belonged with My parants not some demented lune who after having several abortions decided she wanted someone elses kid. You are guilty! She wips him again. 
Christina: Then in the summer of 2000 you forced my mother me out of town. You forced us the leave my father and her husband behind! You threw him in jail and threatend to kill him if we didn't leave! YOU MONSTER! GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!!! 
Christina again wips him across his face violently. 
Christina: You have been found guilty of being an evil monster who destroyed my family, forced me and my mother into hiding and there by led to her death. You must and will pay. I know in most cases the accused gets to speak but I have no interest in hearing any of your vugler lies. I'm not going to kill you just yet though, you made my parants and I suffer now it's your turn. 
She looks at him with an evil grin as she raises the wip once more and strikes him hard. 

Joe arrives back at the Scanlon house and steps out of his car. He stands for a minute just looking at the house as memories flud his mind. 
Joe: You may have been a misrable person Courtney but you were still part of this family. 
Joe sighs shakes his head and heads up the steps. When he enters he finds Frank, Gabriella, Angel, Alison, Rose, and Joseph all sitting on the coutch watching TV together. 
Gabriella: Joe your back! 
Gabby runs to him and hugs him happily. Joseph and Rose run over to. 
Joseph: Dad where have you been? Did you bring us some food? 
Rose: You missed a great cake 
Gabriella: Why have you been gone so long? 
Frank: We were starting to get worried about you. 
Angel: Are you alright? 
Joe hugs his family. 
Joe: I'm fine, thanks sorry I didn't mean to worry you I just needed to take care of something 
Frank: Of what? 
Just then Neil and Frankie walk in 
Neil: What what? Hey Uncle Joe 
Frankie: Hey what's up? 
Angel: Uncle Joe was just about to tell us where he's been all day. 
Joe: Hi Neil hi Frankie. I wanted to do something for you guys. I know I haven't been there for any of you in ages and I thought it was about time I changed that. Here 
He hands Frank an envolope Frank opens it cureusly. Inside is a sertificate and brosure. 
Angel: What is it Dad? 
Frank: It's a brosure and sertificate from the national star registry. 
Neil: Oh I've heard about that on the radio you can name a star after someone. 
Frank nods and looks up with tears in his eyes 
Frank: And thanks to your uncle here there is now a star named after your Mom in the national star registry and it will be there always. 
Frankie: My Mom has her own star? That's so cool! 
Angel smiles 
Angel: Mom would deffinetly love that thankyou Uncle Joe. 
Neil: It's a great idea, I know having a star to talk to helped Serena a whole bunch of times. 
Frank: Joe thankyou it's a buetiful thought. 
The brothers hug 
Alison: It really is sweet of you. 
Joe: Well you are welcome but that's not all. 
Joe goes back out onto the portch and brings in a brand new Telescope and a map. 
Joe: This is one of the best telescopes the store had so I figure between the map and this telescope you should have no problem seeing her star when ever you want. 
Frankie: Cool! 
Frankie runs right over and starts working with it Neil comes over to help and Angel fallows only stopping long enough to hug Joe. 
Angel: You're the best. 
Joe blushes 
Joe: You're welcome. 
Frank is looking at Joe with tears in his eyes. 
Frank: God I missed you 
Joe smiles 
Joe: I missed you to 
The brothers embrace happily. 
Rose: Hey Joseph you think we'll be close even when were grown like Dad and unble Frank are? 
Joseph: I sure hope so 
Joe: So who is hungry I have a tune of food in the car. 
Alison: Oh I'll help you bring it in 
Alison runs out the door. 
Frankie: I could eat 
Angel: What's new 
Frankie gives his sister a dirty look 
Gabriella: Come on Joe I'll help you bring it in. 
They head out but she stops him on the portch. 
Joe: What is it? 
Gabriella: I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and how great I think you are. 
Joe smiles and pulls Gabby in close 
Joe: Well I think you're pretty great yourself. 
They kiss 

Jamual is studying the evidence as he waies for Clint to call back. He shakes his head as he puts it all together. 
Jamual: It all makes sence now. Christina is avenging the wrongs done to her mother one at a time. And according to the list in Julie's diary it's in the same order as the murders except 
Jamual grows quite. 
Jamual: Kevin is listed first but hasn't been attacked. 
Jamual frowns pondering this. 
Jamual: Unless his punishment was being set up and watching the people around him be attacked. 
Just then the phone rings 
Jamual: Detective Woods here 
Clint: Hey Jamual it's Clint 
Jamual: Clint! Did you find anything out about Christina's where abouts? 
Clint: Sure did several months ago she was spotted in New Yorks LaGuardia Airport boarding a plain for Port Charles New York. 
Jamual nearly drops the phone 
Jamual: Oh My God I think we just broke the case! Okay listen I need you to fax me the most recent picture of Christina you have ASAP. 
Clint: No problem I'll get right on it. 
They hang up. Soon after the fax mushine starts ringing. Slowly a snap shot imerges. Jamual picks it up. He looks down at the picture of the very pretty young woman. He shakes his head as he looks at the picture. 
Jamual: So you are our killer huh. Funny how someone so pretty and related to Frank no less could be so leathal. Well we'll find you that's for sure. 
just then anuther officer pokes his head in. 
Officer: Detective Woods sorry to interupt but the comisioner has asked if you could help locate Dr. Collins he is aparently missing. 
The officer leaves Jamual stands there for a minute absorbing it all then looks back at the list. 
Jamual: OH MY GOD SHE'S GOT HIM! 
Jamual still holding the picture grabs his coat and runs out the door. 

Lucy is driving franticly through the streets of Port Charles looking everywhere for Kevin. As she pears through the window she talks to herself. 
Lucy: Come on Doc where could you be! 
Suddenly a vision comes to Lucy. She sees a dark, cold, and damp place. It looks like a cave to her. She sees Kevin tied to a chair and a formilure looking person standing over him with a knife. Lucy's heart nearly pounds out of her chest. 
Lucy: OH GOD NO! OKay calm down Lucy just calm down. But where could he be where is that place! There aren't any caves around here! Well except for 
Lucy stops mid sentence as it occures to her. 
Lucy: OFCOURSE THE CATICOMBS THAT'S IT! 
Lucy turns the car around and heads off to the caticombs 

Karen is sitting on the coutch reading a magizine the kids are in their rooms doing their own thing when the phone rings. 
Karen: Hello? 
Chris: Karen! Oh Thank God you're there! 
Karen is starteled and a bit frightend by the urgancy in Chris's voice. She laughs nurvesly 
Karen: Well ofcourse I am, Chris where are you? 
Chris: Karen I don't have time to explain just please listen to me and do exactly what I say please! 
Karen's heart is now pounding 
Karen: Chris what is wrong? 
Chris: Karen I think I know who the killer is and You need to protect yourself and the kids it's urgent! Put the phone down now and go lock all the windows and the front door and put the security on now. 
Karen: Chris 
Chris: Karen please I don't have time just go do it while I waite please hurry! 
Karen: Alright alright 
Karen puts down the phone hurridly and races around locking everything and putting the security on. Her heart is raceing 
Karen: Chris I'm back 
Chris: Did you lock everything up? 
Karen: Yes and I put on the security. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Okay good good. Listen under no sercomstances do I want you to anwser the door not for anyone. I'll call you when I get to the door and you can open it. I mean it Karen don't open it for anyone no matter who it is. I have to go I love you 
Chris hangs up. Karen stairs at the phone dumb struck. She hangs it up and sits back down on the coutch suddenly feeling anything but safe. 

Frank is upstairs in his room looking sadly at a picture of Courtney. 
Frank: Nothing is going to be the same with out you Court. 
He strokes the picture lovingly. Just then there is a nock at the door. Frank puts the picture down clears his throat and rubs his face. 
Frank: Come in 
Frankie comes in slowly. 
Frank: Hey there champ come sit with me. 
Frank holds him arm out and motions Frankie to sit next to him. Frankie plops down beside him. 
Frank: So how are you holding up? 
Frankie shrugs 
Frankie: I don't know one minute I feel like I want to cry the next I want to punch something. 
Frank nods and puts his arm around his son. 
Frank: Those are very understandible ways to feel. But it will get easier Frankie and I promis Jamual will catch this monster. 
Frankie nods 
Frankie: I hope you're right 
Frank: I know I am 
Frankie: How come you're always so confident? 
Frank: Well I guess I've learned that in life no matter how bad things get they always get better, and the best way to get through something is hold on tight and look to tomarrow. 
Frankie nods 
Frankie: Speaking of the future can I ask you something? 
Frank: Sure what's up? 
Frankie: Well you know that spring fling dance is coming up soon. I was thinking I wouldn't go 
Frank: No Frankie you should deffinetly go. You need to your Mom would want you to. You shouldn't stop living your life. 
Frankie: Well I would like to 
Frank: Well then you should. So who is the lucky girl?
Frankie: Well I was origenally going stag but I kind of bumped into this really sweet girl at the vidio place tonight. She's pretty, smart, cool, and great at games. 
Frank: Sounds like a winner to me. 
Frankie: But she's kind of younger then me. 
Frank: How much younger? 
Frankie: 4 years, she lost her mom two and I guess I just feel conected to her. 
Frank: Well it's just a dance so I don't think the age is a big deal and if being around her makes you feel better then you should deffinetly take her. How did her Mom die. 
Frankie:The J killer it's Randi Baldwin. 
Frank is a bit taken aback. 
Frank: Well you sertenly have a conection. 
Frankie: You still think it's okay 
Frank sighs 
Frank: What I think is that she's your friend and it helps you to be with her and probubly dose her some good to make you feel better. 
Frankie half smiles 
Frankie: How do you always make things so simple? 
Frank laughs 
Frank: Well I don't know about simple I guess I just fallow my heart and advize others to do the same. 
Frankie nods 
Frankie: Okay I'll call her tomarrow. 
Frank nods 
Frank: Sounds good 
Frankie gets up to leave Frank stands and they embrace then Frankie leaves the room. 
Frank picks up the picture of Courtney and half way smiles 
Frank: And the beat gose on. 

Chris is driving around franticly keeping his eyes peeled his heart racing a mile a minute. 
Chris: God please let me find her before she hurts anyone else of gets hurt. God please let me find her. 
Tears are coming down his face in buckets thinking of the day she was born. 
Chris: Dammit! She had so much promis, so much potential, I had such hopes for her we both did! How could she be like this how could she do this! DAMIT JULIE! 
Chris punches the steering wheel. 
Chris: If only you hadn't run with her. We could have won her back I know we could of. If only she had been raised here with me this never would have happend! 
Chris takes a deep breath and sighs 
Chris: Don't worry Julie I won't abandon her. She might not be mine by blood but in every other way she is. I will never turn my back on her. But where the hell could she be! 
Chris looks around in frustration hawnking his horn at slow drivers. 
Chris: Okay Ramsey think she's not formilure with this town the only places she would think to hide would be places Julie told her about. 
Chris starts running down the list of places he went with Julie, places Julie liked to go, and places she had gone or hid during the whole Cooper mess. 
Chris: Okay okay I'm sure she wouldn't hide somewhere she could easily be spotted or in an open place. And if she's out for revenge for Julie then she wouldn't go near any of Julie's enimies or one time friends. It's got to be a hiding place a spot Julie used. 
Chris gets a puzzled look on his face. 
Chris: No one else was at fairy tale land, and the Stanton Mansion was torn down years ago. 
Suddenly it hits Chris 
Chris: Oh My God ofcourse the CATICOMBS! 
Chris turns the car around and heads off. 

Kevin is sitting still tied to the chair with tape over his mouth. Christina is kneeling by the table with the candles and Julie's picture. She has been there for awhile now just silently stairing at the picture. She rises and walks over to Kevin. She slaps him hard across the face. 
Christina: You hurt my family in so many ways I can't even begin to count them. You not only hurt them physically, and emotionally, you not only stole from them and ruined their lives but you played mind games with them. Well now it's my turn. I will see to it you pay for what you put my mother and father through. 
Christina gose to a bag on her cot and pulls out a huge bottle of something. She carries it over to Kevin and stands there holding it. 
Christina: You know they say that memories can be more painful at times then real life and if you know the write triger you can really get to someone. 
She shows the label on the bottle to Kevin. He cringes as he reads. Jasmine Purfume on the label. Christina turns her head towards Julie's picture. 
Christina: I think it's time we sent old Kevin here down memory lane don't you Mom 
She smiles and nods at her picture. 
Christina: I agree. 
Christina looks at Kevin with absolute hate unscrews the cap and proceeds to pour the entire contents of the perfume over Kevin head. It stings and burns his eyes, nose and skin, it sends his mind swiming in memories and causes his heart to race. Once she has emptied the last little bit onto him she stands back and smiles at him clearly pleased with her work as he squerms in his seat. Kevin is practicly gaging from the smell he is blinking his eyes trying to see streight as the perfume burns his eyes. Christina walks over to her suite case and pulls out a vidoe tape. 
Christina: My mother told me all about how you care so much for a select few especially for that good for nothing baby snatching hore Lucy. Well I thought you might enjoy seeing how I stabbed her. 
She rolls a small TV and VCR over infront of Kevin. 
Christina: I supose you are wondering how I managed to tape it well it was quite easy really. I simply entered with it recording and sat it down in a good spot then waited for that worthless rech to show herself. 
Christina puts the tape in and pushes play. Right before Kevin's horrer filled eyes he watches as Lucy comes out of the bed room Christina grabs her and then stabs her, then takes her blood and writes a J on the wall. 
Christina: I don't think you saw it well enough. 
Christina rewinds it and forces Kevin to watcfh it again. She dose this three more times. 
Christina: Okay that's enough. 
She shuts it off and hits Kevin hard in the face with the remote. 
Christina smiles again quite pleased with herself then puts the TV back where it was. Just then they both hear a noise Christina jumps looking around. They listen a little more and it soon becomes clear that it's foot steps Then quickly taking a bat she stands by the entrance to the small chamber. The foot steps get louder and louder. As the person aproaches Christina raises the bat ready to strike who ever it maybe. 
 

Kevin's heart is practily pounding out of his chest. He can hear the person getting closer and he can see the anger in Christina's eyes. He wants to yell for the person to run but with the tape over his mouth he can only make muffled cries. Just then he sees Lucy practily running come around the bend. Before he or Lucy can even react to the sight of one anuther Christina slams Lucy in the head as hard as she can with the bat. Kevin screems inside as Lucy falls to the ground unconscious. Christina looks down at her with utter discust 
Christina: Well if it isn't the baby snatcher of the year. 
She grabs Lucy by her pony tale and drags her across the room. She gets Lucy in a chair and ties her up then puts tape over her mouth. Christina looks at Lucy who is still unconscious and spits on her. 
Christina: You evil peace of trash you will pay for trying to take me from my parants. 
Christina slaps her. Kevin stairs at Lucy tears streaming down his face. There is blood coming from her head he knows she's hurt bad. Christina sees Kevin stairing walks over and slaps him hard. 
Christina: Hey it's her own fault she shouldn't have come here, and don't worry about her head she won't be living long enough to die from that! 
Christina laughs wickedly 
Christina: I really had ment for tonight to be just about your destruction but you know this works out far better. Now I can eliminate both of you! 
Christina turns to her mothers picture and blows a kiss. Then she looks back at Kevin 
Christina: I was going to take care of you right now but I can't let you die before Lucy. So why don't you just sit there while I figure out just how to make this as painful as I can for you both. 
Christina smiles punches Kevin in the stomach then goes and sits on the cot looking over some papers she has. Kevin closes his eyes and prayes that someone will find them in time. 
Chris arrives at the caticombs his heart racing his palms sweating. He tries to get out of the car but forgets to unbuckle his seat belt. He curses it undose it and gets out slamming the door. Chris looks around not quite sure of his next move. The night is silent to silent and the dark evening seems to have reached a new shade of dark. Chris sighs gose to his trunk and pulls out a flash light. As he closes the trunk and turns on the flashlight his mind flashes back to the time in the park when he felt someone watching him. 
Chris: It was you wasn't it Christina. You've been watching all of us haven't you. 
Chris starts forward with the flashlight then stops 
Chris: What the hell am I doing! I don't even know if she knows who I am! For all I know she might try and kill me to! What am I supposed to say please Christina don't hurt anyone else it's not what your mother and I would want. Come on Ramsey you must be really full of yourself now if you think that's going to stop her. She's beyond that! 
Chris sighs and rubs his face 
Chris: But Julie is your mother and I loved her and God help me I love you to. You are as much mine as if I'd helped create you. 
Chris takes a deep breath. 
Chris: And Julie would want me to do this further more Karen needs me to do this. And lastly as the man that thinks of you as his own daughter I need to do this. 
Chris with new found confidence and determination sets out with his flashlight. 

Serena, Hope, and Faith are driving around franticly looking everywhere they can for any sign of Lucy or Kevin. 
Faith: Dammit! What the hell was Mom thinking! She just got out of the hospital for crying out loud! Even if there is something wrong she is in no shape to handle it! 
Hope: Oh come on Faith you know what she was thinking. She was thinking the same thing she always thinks when it comes to Dad. She was thinking I've got to protect him and to hell with everything else. 
Faith: And who the hell protects her! 
Hope thinks for a minute 
Hope: Well we do I guess 
Faith: Hope we can't even find her! HOW THE HELL CAN WE PROTECT HER WHEN WE CAN'T EVEN FIND HER! 
Serena: Faith calm down okay. We're going to find her I just know it and when we do we'll 
Serena stops mid sentince suddenly over come by a strange feeling 
Faith: We'll what 
Serena: Oh no 
Hope: Serena what's wrong? 
Hope leans forward and sees the shaken and worried look on Serena's face. 
Serena: What? Oh nothing it's fine everything is going to be fine. 
Hope looks at her knowingly 
Hope: Come on Serena I know better you have that same look Mom has when shes's sencing something what gives. 
Serena sighs 
Serena: I'm not sure I just have this very sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and I'm not sure it's like someone is calling me but I can't quite here them 
Faith: OH MY GOD I KNEW IT MOM IS IN TROUBLE I KNEW IT!! 
Hope: Serena pull over to the side of the road now! 
Serena looks confused 
Serena: What? 
Hope: Just do it okay I know what I'm talking about! 
Serena pulls off the road. Her heart is pounding now and the sickening feeling is getting worse. She can still here something in her ears but she can't place who it is or what they are saying. Once on the side of the road Hope digs in her purse and pulls out a crystal and hands it to Serena 
Hope: This is one of Mom's I grabed it as we were leaving the house. Hold onto it close your eyes and consentrate hard I think Mom's trying to tell you something. Serena seeing the seareusness in Hope's eyes takes the crystal. Almost instantly a vision fills her head. She sees Lucy unconscious and tied up in what appears to be a cave. Serena wants to scream but she holds it in. She keeps looking trying to see jmore. She sees Kevin sitting there as well. He's tied up and injured but awake. The area they are in is cold and wet Serena shivers. She consintrates harder and sees a young girl sitting on a cot looking over something. She feels that she knows the girl but she isn't sure from where. 
Serena: Come on Mom show me where you are. 
Suddenly Serena sees the out side of the place. Her eyes snap open 
Serena: THE CATICOMBS WE HAVE TO GET THERE NOW!! 
Serena puts the car in geer and heads towards the caticombs. 

Chris walks quietly through the grass and trees surrounding the caticombs shinning his flash light everywhere. Everytime he hears a noise he jumps a little. 
Chris: Well Julie isn't this an interesting situation here I am searching for our daughter who has killed and injured a whole slew of people. 
Chris shakes his head sadly 
Chris: I had alot of fears about what was going to happen to Christina when you left with her but never in a million years did I think this would happen. I have to admit Julie I''m a little scared of her. How do I know she isn't going to jump out here at any second and stab me huh. 
Chris laughs angrily at himself 
Chris: I'm scared of my own daughter how is that for sick. Sure she tecknically isn't but in every other way she is. 
Chris takes a deep breath. 
Chris: Dammit Julie how is it even now you can always make me think with my heart instead of my head. I have always been able to do the smart thing. To fallow my head and keep myself safe and on track. The only exception is you and now Christina 
He shakes his head 
Chris: Cause you know if I was thinking with my head I wouldn't be anywhere near here. 
Chris takes a deep breath and enters the opening of the caticombs 

Christina finelly stands up and begins walking back over to Kevin and a still unconscious Lucy. 
Christina: Well Kevin I had planned to exocute you about now, but with the arrival of this peace of evil trash 
She nods towards Lucy with a discusted look. 
Christina: I think it would prove a far better punishment for you to watch her be torchured a little before you die. 
Kevin struggles against the ropes angrily 
Christina: Oh but don't worry she'll be joining you in hell not long after you go. 
Christina grins evily. She lifts a leather wip and begins to violently slap Lucy repeatedly with it. Then putting down the wip she takes out a lighter and begins singing Lucys toes and fingures. Lucy moans still mostly unconscious. Kevin struggles but to no avail. Suddenly they hear foot steps. Christina curses under here breath and grabs her bat. She goes towards the sound ready to nock who ever is there out. As she raises the bat a voice calls out 
Chris: Christina? 

Jamual who has been driving around franticly searching for clues finely pulls over at the side of the road. He stops rubs his head. 
Jamual: Okay Jamual where would you hide? Okay come on proses of elimination she can only be somewhere that Julie told her about since she left here when she was one. 
Jamual picks up the file of Julie's he'd grabbed on his way out and starts going through it. He finds the part where Julie and Greg were held up at the Stanton place. 
Jamaul: Okay that place has been torn down Waite a sec! this gose right into the caticombs and a person could escape to Canada threw there. And since she's already killed or attacked all the people on her list and she has Kevin. . . 
Jamual quickly starts up his car and heads towards the caticombs. 

Kevin's heart is racing as his eyes dart from Lucy to Christina and back.. The voice Comes again 
Chris: Christina my name is Chris Ramsey are you here? 
Suddenly Christina's face changes all the anger and hate disapears and is replaced with utter joy and tears start to roll down her cheecks. Just then Chris rounds the corner. Before he can do anything Christina drops the bat and throws her arms around Chris hugging him tightly and crying 
Chris: DADDY DADDY I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE REALLY HERE!! I NEW YOU WOULD FIND ME!! 
As Christina continues to hug Chris and cry tears of joy Chris stands there in a state of shock holding her not sure what else to do as he looks around at an injured and unconscious Lucy and a tied up and angry Kevin. Chris tires to collect his thoughts. Christina pulls back and wipes her face. 
Christina: Oh Daddy I'm so glad you're here you're just in time!! I'm about to put the fineshing tutches on my plan to avange all the pain these people have caused you and Mom. 
Christina gives Kevin and Lucy and evil look then grabbing a very shaken looking Chris who is trying to smile she pulls him over to the picture of Julie she has set up. She kneels down infront of it 
Christina: Moma Daddy is here see you were right as always he never stopped loving us and now we can all be together to watch these demonds get what they deserve. 
Chris looks at the picture over whelmed by emotion. He reaches for it and picks it up. He gazes at it lost in thought. Christina wraps her arm around one of Chris's. 
Christina: I know Daddy I miss her to. But she's in a better place now where mean people can't hurt her. 
Christina glairs at Kevin and Lucy 
Chris puts the picture down and turns towards Christina searching for words 
Chris: I''m glad she had you by her side. 
Christina: I never left her side Daddy I was with her at the end and I swore I'd make things right. I'm so glad you're here to see it. Would you like a turn with the wip? 
Christina holds the wip out to him. 
Chris smiles and laughs nurvesly 
Chris: uh Christina 
just then they here footsteps and voices 

Faith: MOM ARE YOU HERE?! ANWSER US! 
Hope: MOM DAD CAN YOU HEAR US?! 
Serena: Will you both stop it now! We can't go walking through here yelling! For all we know someone is waiting for us! 
Hope: Then how the hell do we find her! If we don't yell she won't know we are here? 
Serena: Yeah and if we walk around screeming we won't be able to hear her and we could easily alurt the wrong people that we are here! 
Faith: You didn't seem to worried about letting the wrong people know when you bolted from the car with out the flash light! 
Serena: Okay Faith since you know so much why don't you lead us! 
Faith: CAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAD THE VISION AND I WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK! 
Serena: WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I'M THE ONE LEADING THIS SEARCH SO SHUT THE HELL UP OR GO WAITE OUT SIDE!! 
Faith: HEY SHE'S MY MOM AND I'M GOING TO HELP FIND HER! 
Serena: THEN STOP YELLING AND START LOOKING! 
Hope: WILL YOU BOTH SHUT THE HELL UP YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEAD ACHE! IF THERE WAS ANYONE HERE THEY'VE PROBUBLY LEFT THANKS TO ALL THIS YELLING! 
Serena takes a deep breath and sighs 
Serena: Okay look I know we are all worried and nurves but we can't let our fears get the best of us. Mom and Kevin need us to stay clam and work as a team not loose are cool and start attacking each other. That will get us no where. Now we all have flashlights and we all have good eyes so lets start looking around for clues and try not to make so much noice okay? 
Hope and Faith nod in agreement. The three some continue to move their flashlights around in search of clues 

Christina becomes red with rage upon hearing the voices. 
Christina: DAMIT!! HOW DARE ANYONE COME AND TRY TO RECK MY PLANS! MY MOTHERS PAIN WILL BE AVANGED!!! 
Christina runs and grabs a gun Chris stairs at her in schock. Realizing he must act quickly to protect Serena, Hope, and Faith as well as stop Christina from hurting anyone else he grabs Christina's arm 
Chris: Christina waite! 
Christina stairs at Chris in confusion 
Christina: Dad those people are going to stop us from killing these monster. 
She looks at Chris with a somewhat angry look and in a accusitory voice speaks 
Christina: YOU DO WANT THAT DON'T YOU OR ARE YOU ONE OF THEM! 
Chris laughs nurvesly 
Chris: Ofcourse I do you know I loved your mother more then anything. But listen lets take care of one thing at a time okay. I'm here now you don't have to do this alone. I'll go see if I can get rid of them then I'll come back and help you take care of Kevin and Lucy okay. 
Christina smiles lovingly at Chris 
Christina: Oh Daddy you're so smart okay you go get those demonds to leave and I'll keep my eye on these two. 
She looks at Kevin and Lucy with utter hate. 
Chris: Great 
Chris takes off knowing he dosn't have much time and not knowing exactly what he is going to do or say. 

Jamual quietly pulls up careful not to make a sound as he gets out with his flashlight and gun drawn. He inches closer to the cave all the while looking around him always aware of his suroundings. He slowly enters the cave his heart pounding in his ears. He steadies himself feeling the adrenilin that always come right when he catches the bad guy. He knows he's close. 
Chris races out of the little hidden room in the caticombs and soon finds Serena, Hope and Faith. When they see him running all three scream. 
Serena: IT'S HIM!! 
Faith: WHERE IS MY MOM!! 
Hope: WHAT GIVES RAMSEY!! 
Chris: Looks at them in a panic 
Chris: No it is not me and unlees you want to die hear I suggest you leave now got it! 
Serena: Not with out my mother! GET OUT OF MY WAY CHRIS! 
Serena pushes him Chris grabs onto her 
Chris: Listen to me and listen to me good. We have a very bad situation here I am doing all I can to fix it but you being here is not going to help. Now if you want to help your Mother and keep yourself safe I suggest you and your sisters leave now. 
Faith: YOU ARE PROTECTING THAT SNAKE JULIE AREN'T YOU! 
Just then Christina rounds the corner with a gun drawn. 
Christina: YOU EVIL SNAKE NO ONE TALKS ABOUT MY MOTHER LIKE THAT! 
Christina aimes her gun at Serena just as Jamual comes around the corner. Jamual aimes his gun 
Jamual: FREEZE POLICE! 
Christina whirls around aiming at Jamual. Christina pulls the trigure at the same time Jamual dose 
Chris: NO!!! 
Chris throws himself ontop of Christina as bullets fly. When the dust settles a motionless Chris lies in a pull of blood.
