Second Chances: The Last One To Go
When members of Rick's high school class die or disappear from a surprise reunion, Rick and A.J. try to catch the assailant before they or their families are victims!

"Yeah, you'd better, Doug….You can also call my mom back and tell her to call my father-in-law. I'm glad you thought twice about it. You just stay put and I'll call you once we know something." Rick hung up the phone, then glanced over at his worried brother. "Some reunion..."
"Well, that leaves only Bob, Tim Webb and Margaret Jordan who haven't shown up….We ought to try calling Ron and Abby…." A.J. told him, then the lights in the room went out.
A sudden crash of thunder made Rick jump, and he let out a shaky laugh. "A.J., if I didn't know any better, I'd say this was like one of those spook movies we used to stay up and…"
"Rick!!" A.J. let out a yell, then the sound of a door slamming cut him off. At once Rick pulled out his gun, then called out, "A.J.? A.J.!"
Only the crackle of lightening answered him, the flash illuminating the room enough for the older Simon to see his brother was nowhere in sight.
"A.J. !" Rick hollered again, then the lights went on, and he gasped to see the chair A.J. was sitting in turned over, and his weapon on the floor. A note was on the table, and Rick snatched it up as he went over to the phone on the desk next to the door.
"Hello, Operator…give me San Diego P.D….Hello?" Not even a dial tone sounded, then Rick's worst fears were confirmed as he glanced at the paper in his hand.
"You took from me, I took from you. And you'll be the last to go."
"No…." he gasped, seeing pictures of his brother, Laurie and Linda glued to the note, a red slash across their faces.
