Death ends a life, not a relationship. - Jack Lemmon
Click, Click, Click…

That's all Katie Brown heard, her own footsteps, as she walked down the dimly lit corridor, rapidly nearing the desk at the end. Then suddenly she stopped. She looked at the sign above the man at his desk: "WARDEN", she shuddered. She still couldn't believe it and it happened over two years ago.

"Mornin' Sweetheart…What's yer name?"

Katie looked disgusted. She was about to put the 40 year old sleaze in his place but decided against it. She didn't want to arise any unwanted attention.

"Katie Brown."

"Well Katie just sign ere' and state the number of the prisoner and yer can be on yer way but don't forget to come past me when yer leave" He winked. Katie nearly vomited.

Visitor: Katie Brown

Prisoner:

Katie quickly dug through her bag for the number she was given by the police officer. She found it! On a wrinkled napkin was the six digit number that would let her see him.

Prisoner: 045569

Katie handed back the slip of paper to the warden. He thanked her and gave her directions for her private visiting room she had requested. For a second time in under 10 minutes Katie nearly vomited when he slapped her thigh when she passed him.

"Breathe Katie. Don't slap him. Just Breathe." she repeated over and over in her head like a mantra.

She closed the door behind her and continued walking down another dimly lit corridor.

She passed a chair that read "Brooklyn County Goal".

She still couldn't believe that he was in a place like this.

But she blamed herself. She blamed herself for the death of a much loved friend. She blamed herself for his imprisonment. And she blamed herself for her now non-existent love life.

It was kind of funny how she used to have two men vying for her love and know she had none.

Two Men

One was her first love, her true love the other just her late friend that could be nothing more.

Murderer and Victim

Freddy and Zach.

She remembered the idyllic was her relationship started off with Freddy. They were perfect for each other in everyway possible. The loved each other more than anything in the world. Three perfect years they spent together. Freddy even proposed but Katie didn't except, she couldn't. Freddy was her first boyfriend so how did she know that he was 'the one'. So she decided that they would spend 2 months apart, this was the ultimate test for their relationship.

Then she remembered Zach. She had got wind that within the first three weeks of their 2 months apart Freddy had already slept with two girls. So Katie wanted to get even. She knew Zach loved her more than a friend should so it wasn't hard to convince him to date her.

Then she remembered the night it happened. Zach had dropped her off after another uneventful date. About an hour later she received a phone call from Freddy. He was crying. She was crying. So was the world; it rained so hard that night.

Then she remembered the days after Zach's funeral and Freddy's arrest. Her friends and family thought she was mourning because she would never see the man she loved again and they were right but then again they were wrong.

Then she remembered Freddy's trial and his confession. "Love makes you do crazy things". He was given a psychiatric test. He failed it. He wasn't allowed visitors…until now.

She stopped once again, outside a door. She dug into her pocket and pulled out a metal object that had been burning a hole through her clothes since she had got it. She slipped it into her mouth. She opened the door. And there inside he was. Still the same Freddy Jones. Everything happened so fast: Having their first conversation again, first hug, and kiss. The kiss happened first, as she opened her mouth she passed him that metal object.

Four Days Later in a Chapel in Texas:

"Do you Katie Brown take Freddy Jones To be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold from this day forward to death do you part?"

Freddy had already said it, all that was left to do was for her to say it.

"I do, to death do us part"

But little did they know that death was on their trail in the form of two silver bullets.
