Chapter 10
.
Zack's funeral service was Saturday afternoon. Kendall tried to comfort her boys, Spike and Ian. Ian was Zack's son, Ryan was Spike's father. Their family has always been a bit unusual, but it was family. Zack had been a second father to Spike. It wasn't right that Spike had to lose them both at once. And aunt Bianca, she was partly the reason why she'd named him Spike. Bianca had been a fan of "Buffy the vampire slayer" she seemed to have a crush on that red-headed witch. At Bianca's urging Kendall watched that show, and predictably she got attracted to the bad boy vampire Spike. And they were all gone now. It wasn't right that Kendall's boys had to lose both their fathers at once. Five children were here at this funeral. In the next week they all had to say goodbye to their parent. It wasn't right. Even if some tragic accident takes the life of a parent, the children would have friends to help them through it. Over time these five children would have each other to lean on, they shouldn't have had it happen all at once. Kendall was upset that JR wasn't getting the death penalty. But at least he'd spend at least 25 years before he'd be free again. And if he was ever freed, Kendall could deal with it then. She did the math, she was 42 now, in 25 years she's be 67. Spike and Ian would be all grown up by then. If caught there was the danger of not being a part of her grandchildren's lives, but that seemed like a fair trade to Kendall.
