Molly Phillips watched the funeral procession with tears in her eyes. Lisa and Kevin Thelen were nearby crying, and hugging relatives. If only we didn't leave her alone that night. Those thoughts ran through Molly's mind constantly.

As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet

*After the funeral*

Phillips House

Jack was in his room, sitting on his bed, with his father's guitar, humming softly to himself. He still couldn't believe that Annie had been murdered.

She was sitting at the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down
It was her doom

Jack went downstairs to try to comfort the Thelen's. The living room was filled with people who had attended the funeral, most of whom, Jack didn't even know. But he looked over at one girl he did know; Fiona.

Annie, are you OK
Are you OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
You OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

Jack went over to talk to his sister, who had just come back from Seattle. Aunt Melinda and the twin tornado's had also come, but they weren't running around acting crazy like usual. Clu and Carey, along with Irene and Ned Bell were also there. It was like a huge party. Only no one wanted to have to come. No one was having fun.

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom



Fiona looked at her brother, with tear filled eyes. She wondered if this was the work of the spirit world. If only I hadn't left... if only... would it have made a difference? Would I have been the one to die? Fiona wondered. She felt this was all her fault. Clu and Carey walked over to join Fi and Jack. This was the very first time Fi had ever seen Clu act serious. Not to mention the tear stains on his face, that he hadn't bothered to wipe away.

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth criminal

Meanwhile, Molly sat on her couch, all by herself, re-capping what happen the night of March 13, 2002. That night it was just Jack, Annie and herself at the house. Clu was at college, and Carey for once was at his house.

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday
What a black day
I could feel your salutation
Sounding heartbeats
Intimidations

It was about 6:00pm and Molly didn't feel like preparing dinner. So she asked Jack and Annie if they wanted to go out to eat. Jack agreed immeaditly, but Annie refused. She said she'd get something to eat later.

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

Now that Molly was thinking of it, Annie was acting really weird... more than usual. She seemed so upset that day, so distant. Like she KNEW something was going to happen... Molly wondered if Annie would have said something, anything at all, would it made a difference?

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom


"I... I just keep wondering what would have happened if I had stayed. I blame myself for that" Fi cried softly into Jack's arms. "I think the same thing Fi, what if I had been home that night to protect her?" Jack sighed.

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth criminal

~ Two Months Later ~

May 18, 2002

"... and another day without you." Molly finished singing More Like A River, and walked off stage, tears in her eyes. Whenever she played that song, it reminded her of everything she had lost. Rebecca, Rick, and now, Annie. Two months after her death, Molly was still grieving.

Annie, are you OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window
That he struck you
A crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom

The police had never caught Annie's murder, or as they put it the "smooth criminal". Everything still remained a mystery. Who? Why? Molly often found herself wondering if it had anything at all to do with the paranormal. She could tell Fiona was thinking the same way. She hated herself for it.

Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie
Annie, are you OK
You OK
Are you OK, Annie

But Molly and the rest of the Phillips realized, whatever they did now, however much they thought about it, it wouldn't change anything.
