Chapter 1—The Missing Link to Our Family
Hearing a knock on the door, Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald gets up from the couch, and answers, finding his boss, Chief Sam Bennett, at the door.
"Hey, Sam, what's going on?" Luis asks.
"Buddy, can we come in for a bit? We need to talk." Sam says as he and Hank, Luis's best friend, come into the house.
"Sam, what a surprise, is everything okay?" Pilar asks as she comes out of the kitchen.
"Dear God, how am I going to tell her this news?" Sam thinks to himself. "Actually, Pilar, everything is not okay. You may want to sit down, both of you."
"Sam, come on, what's going on?" Luis asks as he looks from Hank to Sam.
"Buddy, I'm so sorry..." Hank says, as tears come out of his eyes.
"What's going on already, damnit!" Luis asks in a rage.
"Luis..Pilar...there is no easy way to say this..." Sam sighs, and then continues, "but there has been a major car accident down on Route 170. A drunk driver hit the car of a young woman..."
"Oh, no..." Pilar says as she looks at Sam. "Are you saying...?"
"I'm so sorry, Pilar. But Theresa...Theresa was the young woman who got hit. She died immediately."
"God, NO!" Pilar screams as Luis grabs onto his mother, cradling her. "Sam, please, this is not funny!"
"Luis, I wish this weren't true, but it is. The identification found in the car was that of Theresa's. I am so sorry."
"Mi hija. It can't be true!" Pilar says as she continues to cry.
"Oh, God, How am I going to tell Ethan?" Luis thinks to himself, as he spots a picture of Theresa on the fireplace mantel.
"Mama, we're going to get through this, I promise you."
"My baby! My baby girl is gone!
"WHAT?!" Someone screams.
Everyone looks up in shock as they see Ethan standing at the Lopez- Fitzgerald door, the flowers he had in his hand dropped to the floor.
"Ethan..."
Coming up
Ethan hears the news
Is Theresa really alive?
