disclamer: The Outsiders is owned by S.E Hinton

"Are you Mr. Darrel Curtis?"

My life was just about to change forever.

"Yes sir" I said to officer standing in front of me.

"I sorry to have to tell you this son… but I'm afraid I have some terrible news."

When police officers say that to you know that what ever came next was never a good thing. I placed my hand on the door knob, and leaned into the frame to help myself prepare myself for what came next.

"Darrel, there was a car crash just outside of town earlier today. There were two bodies in the front seat. They were identified as a Mr. and Mrs. Curtis."

Mum and Dad.
