Artie walked through the front door of the B&B slowly followed by Pete then Myka.
Leena and Claudia rushed forward pulling them all into hugs before Claudia looked around, noticing for the first time that they were one short. She quickly turned to Myka.
"Where's H.G?"
Myka stared at her opening her mouth trying to find the words to tell the younger woman about what happened before she suddenly broke down sobbing.
"No." Claudia said backing up against the staircase banister. "No ,no ,no ,no ,no. Not H.G. too."
She slid down the banister till she was sitting on the ground, with her forehead resting against her knees. Faintly she could here Artie telling Leena about the bomb and how H.G. had saved them by making a force field around them but that H.G. couldn't do the same for herself.
Claudia felt an arm wrap around her and looked up to see Pete with one arm wrapped around her and the other around Myka, who was sobbing freely into Pete's shirt.
Claudia sat their numbly wondering how everything had gotten so broken.
Steve was dead. H.G. was dead. Mrs Fredric was dead. The warehouse was destroyed. As Claudia looked around at everyone, Leena sitting in a chair near the door way her hand covering her mouth as she cried, Artie standing near her trying to conceal his own tears and then at Pete and Myka, tears streaming silently down his face while Myka clung onto him with her face buried in his shirt and she knew there was no way they could put this family back together.
