The trial was swift. Testimony from several people was had, and the jury quickly came through with a verdict.

"We the jury find Elijah Goldsworthy GUILTY of all charges." Nothing more was said, as the court got to buzzing with the announced verdict.

"Do you have anything to say Mr. Goldsworthy." Eli indicated that he did, so he got up and faced the jury.

"I'm not going to ask any of you for your forgiveness. Even though I caused you all irreparable harm, deep down in your heart of hearts, you will never forgive me for the carnage Rick Murray and I caused. As I await the death penalty sentence, I expect a 'higher power' to execute judgment on me. That is what I'm in most fear of since I do not fear dying."

The judged ruled that Eli would spend the remainder of his life in prison for the crimes he committed.

10 years later...

Clare and KC got married and were the proud parents of a baby boy, Samuel Kevin Guthrie. KC was a star sports athlete as Clare had a profitable career to boot as well. They grew close to each other ever since that night and rekindled things nearly a year later. A long distance relationship was needed between them since KC traveled. He slowed down when Clare got pregnant and after a year, was back to traveling with his team since the baby was born and healthy. They lived in the same town as before, but made sure that their home was safe from all possible angles.

Closure apparently was not fully completed yet... Clare heard a knock on the door and assumed it was her husband who came home early from his latest trip. As she slowly opened the door, she was picturing Eli and asked one last time how someone so sweet could turn into a monster all because of one measly breakup. She had no time to act as Eli kicked the door in and threw himself onto Clare.

"Eli, what the hell are you doing, you are supposed to be spending the rest of your life in jail."

"Yeah I know, but I escaped. I'm here to tell you something, something that will tie up all of the loose ends."

"I'm not interested in hearing this Eli. You have put my family and I through enough torment. You killed our fellow classmates! You killed innocent people for no good reason at all. I have nothing left to say to you... I'm calling the police."

"Like hell you aren't!" Eli slapped the phone out of Clare's hands and elbowed her across the face. She was on the floor crying. Her baby son Samuel wandered into the living room, where he saw his mother writhing on the floor in pain with a strange man hovering over her. Eli turned his attention to the little toddler, who seemed frightened by the strange man's appearance.

"Please don't kill my baby, kill me, but don't kill my little Samuel."

"He looks just like KC. You are a lucky little boy to have such a great mom and dad."

"I love my mommy!" young Samuel declared, which caused Eli to smile. He just unclicked the safety button on his gun, and proceeded to toss it towards Clare, who instinctively got up and stood in front of Samuel.

"Take this gun Rick used and kill me. You know that this is what you wanted to do ever since that night. Finish the job so you can achieve closure."

"I will not kill you Eli because that goes against everything I stand for." Eli grew agitated, taking out his machete and started swinging it wildly. Clare accidentally let a shot off, knocking the machete out of Eli's hands. That got Eli started on a wild rant.

"Fuck morals and all that other stuff! When you want someone out of your life, THIS is how you get rid of them. Fuck everything and kill me before I kill your precious Samuel." Eli made a dash towards the shrieking 5 year old, but Clare tripped him up.

"Clare listen to me! I never stopped loving you, I did everything so I can protect you. Come on now, you don't need to pull the trigger. Just drop the gun and I'll return to prison."

"You threatened to murder my child. That is simply unforgivable."

"What's unforgivable was how you dumped me after I did nothing wrong at that dance. I did nothing WRONG! I'm going to kill you and that little kid,"

"You will do no such thing you bastard. Clare kills Eli with a single shot and turns to her baby boy, who calmed down after his mother comforted him."

"Sorry you had to see that my angel. I will call the police, who will take care of everything, and then we will go get some ice cream."
