Marina Ka-Fai: Thanks, it sure was :)
Marcus Redfield: Nice; yes indeed, also, it wasn't brainwashing, remember, they've never met their father, she just inherited his madness.
Boris Yeltsin: Thanks :)

Chapter 10
Kate bit her lip as she exited the hospital, relieved.
'It's, it's over.' She thought with a smile.
Adding to her relief was the fact that waiting for her was none other than Melvin. He had recovered after all.
"Melvin." She gasped.
He smiled and they hugged before kissing softly.
Parting he gazed at her softly. "Kate, I'm so glad you're okay, I just...I was so afraid."
She bowed her head. "Melvin, about Jane, I'm sorry."
"Don't be, she did this herself; she's where she belongs now." He replied. "Speaking of which?"
She nodded; she had agreed to accompany him a day before the incident occurred, to visit his father. Looking around she smiled as she saw that Max and Victoria were okay too; supported by people close to them.
'She attacked us, hurt us, but she didn't break us, we will get through this and be stronger because of it.' She told herself.
Taking Melvin's hand they began to make their way to Melvin's car; Kate knew that by now, the truth about Melvin was out, along with the fact he and Kate were dating.
But they faced it together, no matter what. As they got in the car, Kate smiled and waved to Max who was leaving with Warren, and Victoria who left with Taylor and Courtney, along with a handful of others. They both waved back and soon they went their separate ways.
As they entered the jail, Kate turned to Melvin.
"Jane is here too, do you…?"
He shook his head. "No, we're just here to see my father, not Jane."
She nodded; biting her lip as she observed the scars on his face, as well as knowing he had scars on his torso from Jane's frenzied knife attack. Focusing on the task at hand however, they were taken to the visiting area.
She did her best to be calm as Jefferson arrived, sitting on the other side of the glass. Using the phones, they began.
"Dad?" Melvin whispered.
Jefferson merely smiled. "So, I heard all about Jane, you're her brother, Melvin."
Melvin nodded. "That's right; I wanted to know so much; but now I do and I, I wish I didn't."
"I don't expect you to understand; but I see you and Kate Marsh, have..."
"Don't." Melvin cut across him. "I just came because I had to meet you once; to put a face to your crimes, the ones that Jane foolishly emulated. After this, you won't see me again, I swear it."
Jefferson merely shook his head at that, but said nothing else. Before he could leave however, Kate gently took the phone from Melvin.
"Mr. Jefferson." She said; surprising him. "You did terrible things, to me, to other girls, but; but I want you to know. I forgive you."
She hung up the phone, leaving Jefferson shocked. Taking Melvin's hand, squeezing it reassuringly, she led the way as they left, finally turning their back on the past, looking now, towards the future.
