Chapter 1
Gabriel held the little brown box in his hands. He examined it carefully. It was sent to Victoria. Finn ran back to Gabriel confused.
"Why'd you stop? I ran all the way down two blocks until I realized you weren't chasing me. Good workout though." Finn said out of breath. Gabriel looked at him and gave him a stern look. "I'm going to go inside now."
Gabriel followed Finn into the house.
"Hey dad, Gabriel didn't kill you." Eric said smiling. Finn popped his collar.
"Yeah. I out ran him." Finn said in a cocky tone. Vivian laughed.
"Uh huh. Sure you did, Finn." Vivian said still laughing.
"No one believes me?" Finn asked offended.
"Its ok sweetie. I believe you." Christina says to her husband.
"Really?"
Christina looks at Gabriel then back to her husband.
"No. Not really."
"Oh thanks. Now I really feel loved." Finn said sarcastically.
"I love you Finn." Victoria said smiling.
"Thanks, but it wouldn't work out between us. Sorry, babe."
"I meant as a an uncle or a brother or something." Victoria said giggling.
"If we're all done pretending to love Finn, I found something." Gabriel said seriously. Everyone was hushed. "This package was outside. It was sent to Vicky."
Victoria squeezed Eric's hand. Eric looked at Victoria who was looking at him with concern.
"What is it?" she asked her father.
"I don't know." He replied.
"Do you think it could be something from…no he wouldn't?" her mother said. Finn took the box out of his hands.
"Let a master take care of this."
Finn unwrapped the box slowly, creating suspense. Everyone held their breath. Finally, he was done unwrapping the box. He looked at everyone with a smile. He looked at everyone's face seeing all of their impatience.
"OPEN IT!" everyone shouted at once.
"Damn! No need to get upset." Finn said. "I mean this box could either mean life or death or nothing at all. There could be a bra or something in here. Or a head… that would be messy. With all the blood, and I wonder if they would leave the brain in there?"
Vivian stood up and walked in front of Finn.
"If you don't open that box in two seconds not only will I slap you, I will make sure Gabriel pummels you to the ground."
"Geez, no need to get violent about it all." Finn said.
"One." Vivian said with hands on her hips and tapping her foot. Finn smiled. "One and a half."
"Ok!"
Finn opened the box and looked inside.
"Wow." Finn said in amazement.
"What is it?" Victoria whined.
"Something incredible." Finn said.
