The Sunny Chronicles II: Resurrections: Chapter Two
Greenlee pulls into the parking lot at Miller's Falls and parks next to a white Lincoln Towncar with a license plate that reads BABE C. At first, she is reluctant to get out of her own car, because she came here to feel close to Leo, not to yell at Babe about the fiasco at Sunny's party. Still, she doesn't actually see Babe around anywhere, and the pull to this place in her heart only grows stronger with each passing moment. Part of her even wonders if Leo may be trying to lead her to her sister.
She walks slowly towards the lookout, keeping an eye out for Babe and hoping to find Sunny. But it is Leo that is on her mind by the time she reaches the railing. Sometimes when she comes here, she almost expects to see him rise out of the water to greet her. He would smile at her with brimming confidence and say, "Don't worry, Baby. I'm right here. Nothing could ever keep me from you ..." And the image fills her with warmth and comfort, even though she knows good and well that this will never happen, that she will never see him again.
Even so, she takes a look down at the bottom anyway, expecting to see nothing but rushing water as usual, but hoping for more. And, at first, the view seems the same as always. But then, something catches the corner of her eye just beyond her peripheral vision. She doesn't look at it directly right away, because she already knows it can't be good, without looking. Once she has braced herself for the worse, she turns her eyes and takes a closer look ... and what she sees surprises even her.
A body floats face down in the pool at the foot of the falls. And, given the evidence: the empty Lincoln Towncar, the blond hair floating out from the motionless head, and the baby-pink T-shirt now splattered with blood ... Greenlee needs no second guesses as to who this body belongs to.
After taking a moment to freak out, Greenlee springs into motion, sprinting to the head of the trail that leads to the bottom of the falls. She slips out of her heels and begins the short climb down barefoot, making good time, but realizing all the while that time will not make a difference to Babe. Once on level ground again, she tosses her purse aside and jumps in the water fully clothed. She swims to Babe's side and immediately turns her over. Babe's unblinking blue eyes stare endlessly up at the sky above. She does not move. She does not breathe. And, pulling her dead weight to shore exhausts Greenlee, and leaves her gasping for air.
She makes sure Babe is securely on land before going for the cell phone in her purse. Wiping her wet hands on the grass first, she reaches inside and pulls the phone out, snapping it open with one quick motion. She dials 911 and waits only a second. Then, she says as calmly as she can, "You need to send someone to Miller's Falls right away. There's been an accident."
