Lily is now 13, Sammy is now 9, Alwin is 25 and Enid is now out of jail...
Lily woke up at 7.05 she walked down stairs and greeted her family. Alwin and Sammy were family although Alwin had moved out Sammy is still living with William and Julia. William and Julia had adopted Alwin and Sammy about a month after Darcy's death. They are sad to see Alwin moving out. Lily is the saddest to see Alwin leave because they still have their sibling bond even now. Sammy can remember some memories of Enid and Darcy but not many. All he can remember is the yelling and Alwin trying to protect him. Sammy does look at William and Julia as mum and dad. Alwin is happy that he has that bond, mainly because he grew up without a dad figure. Sammy goes to a local boy's school and Lily goes to a girl's school. Lily and Sammy had to go to school today. It was the last day for the school year. Then they had a holiday. Sammy was really looking forward to it but Lily wasn't that bothered it was just school to her.
For William and Julia they had been working on a recent case. They had just caught the suspect so it was all quiet. Julia and William were at the morgue when it was time to leave. Alwin had offered to pick Sammy and Lily up from school as he had the day off work.
When they got home Alwin was in the living room watching Lily and Sammy in the back garden. "They're in the back garden. They were wondering when you were getting home." Alwin said as they walked in. Julia laughed and said. "Yeah thanks. Hello to you too." Alwin smiled and said. "Hi, sorry should have started with that..." He stood up and went into the back garden to join Lily and Sammy.
About an hour later they were sat at the table eating their tea and Julia asked Sammy and Lily. "You twos, how were your days?" Lily let Sammy answer first because his day was good. "It was brilliant! The teacher actually referred to me by Sammy and not by my second name!" Julia rolled her eyes and said. "Doesn't take a lot to please you does it?" Sammy shook his head smiling. "And yours?" Lily left the table and collected the plates and started washing up as she said. "It was alright. But the best part was coming home." William said. "That's always your answer..." Lily stopped washing up and came back to the table and sat before she said. "That's because it's always my opinion."
The next day it was a Saturday, they went for a walk in the park. They walked along Lake Ontario. It was a nice summer day; they sat on a bench and watched Alwin, Lily and Sammy run after each other. "Alwin always acts like a child with those two doesn't he?" Julia asked. "Yes he does." Julia smiled and rested her head on William shoulder. "I don't think that's such a bad thing mind." William said, Julia turned her head to him without removing it from his shoulder and said. "How so?" William smiled and said. "Lily and Sammy admire him for it. "Hmm... I guess they do." Julia said smiling.
Sunday was quiet nothing really happened, however Monday Julia and William were in the morgue looking at poisons when there was a knock at the door. Julia thought it was a bit odd if it was a constable they usually just walk in. William and Julia went to the door together. When they opened it they were greeted by Enid smiling at them...
