104R 37: I Should Have Done Something.

Back in Suffolk, inside the cabin, the Miller pups lied sound asleep in a bsket while Keegan laid sound asleep in a bed, with Copper sleeping at the foot. After he, Candace and the puppies had watched the the movie, 101 Dalmatians, they all decided to turn in for the night and headed off to bed. He wore a white, sleevless muscle shirt with straps, the bed covers covered him up to his chest, and he was sleeping sideways on his left.

Unbeknownst to Keegan, and the puppies, a black coat hooded figure stood at the boy's bedside and staired at him while he slept. He also had the symbol D13 written on his coat.

Canada

May 30'th, (2015)

In the countryside of Canada, May 30'th, (2015), a station wagon was driving down the road, with Karen and Jerry Lewis in the front seats, with Jerry driving the vehicle.

Meanwhile, sitting in the back of the car was 5 year old Keegan, with short brown hair, reading a children's book."This is...the story of a puppy. His name is...El-i..."

"Elliot." Said Karen, looking at her son in the back seat. She had blue eyes and blond hair that stopped at her upperback.

"Elliot. His name is Elliot." Said Keegan.

"You got it." Said Karen.

Keegan: "He is going on an...adventure..."

"An adventure." Said Karen.

"What's that?" Keegan asked.

"An adventure? You don't know what an adventure is?" Said Jerry. "What we're on right now. Out here in the wild, not another soul in sight for hundreds of miles...with just the stars to guide us."

"Is it scary?" Keegan asked.

"Well, see, that's the other thing about adventures. You gotta be brave. Are you brave?" Jerry asked.

"Of course you are. I think you are the bravest boy i've ever met." Said Karen.

Keegan grinned at his mother.

Just then, a delivery truck came out of nowhere.

"JERRY, LOOK OUT!" Karen screamed.

But it was too late. Jerry had no time to move the station wagon, as the delivery truck hit the vehicle head on, with a loud 'CRASH!'

"NO!" 11 Year old Keegan screamed as his blue eyes shot open and he sat up in his bed, sweating and breathing heavily, awaking Copper and the Miller pups.

Copper stood up on the foot of the bed, shook himself off, and went up to the head of the bed where Keegan was.

"(Sighs) It was just a dream." Said Keegan. The 11 year old got out of bed and headed towards the door. The boy wore blue jordan shorts that went down to his knees and he was barefoot.

Inside the wooden vent closet double doors, the black coat hooded figure looked through the vent as Keegan walked over to the door and exited the bedroom and closing the door behind him.

Outside the room, Keegan yawned and streached his arms. As he did this, the black coat hooed figure from the closet, appeared behind him.

The figure watched as Keegan went down the hallway and he followed after him.

Inside the bathroom, the sink was running, and Keegan put his hands under the faucet, allowing water to poor into his palms, filling them up. The boy leaned forward and splashed the water on his face, washing it.

The hooded figure entered inside the bathroom, walked up to Keegan, and stood behind the boy, watching him as he got a towel and used it to dry his face. The home invader stepped out of the bathroom before Keegan removed the towel from his now dry face.

Keegan put the towel down and exited the bathroom, unaware that the intruder was standing in the hallway, right behind him. The kid then headed back down the hall to his bedroom, with the figure secretly following him. Once he made it to the door of his room, the boy proceeded to re-enter, but before he could, he saw his aunt Candace go down another hallway around a cornner. Wanting to know what was going on, the boy turnned the knob loose and walked down the hallway and turnned to the left and went down the other hallway, with the figure following from behind. Keegan saw a door up ahead and went up to it. The kid pushed back the curtains and looked out the window of the door and saw Candace standing on the back poarch hangout. Curious, he opened the door a little to listen in on his aunt.

Candace stood on the back poarch hangout, looking up at the starry night sky. "Uh...Karen...it's me, Candace...your younger sister. Well, actually, i guess you know who i am. But i came out here tonight to get something off my chest. You know, what happened...happened six years ago. But what happened happens again and again in my mind. I close my eyes and i...i see that car...(Crying) on the road (Sobs). And i see you, Jerry and Keegan inside. I see that truck...coming towards you. And i see the shocking expressions on all of your faces. And i see Jerry and Keegan...at the cemetary...taking turns comforting each other. But what i don't see, Karen...is that one day, that one tragic day, when i could've gotton that phone call from Jerry, and been there to help him and Keegan through their loss. If i had only stayed in Canada with you, and been there for you, Jerry and Keegan...you might still be alive today. But i wasn't there. And i just wanna say...that i'm so sorry Karen. I'm so very sorry. (Sobbing)."

Keegan eyes were now welled up with tears. He knew his aunt Candace was upset about her sister's death, but he had no idea that she blamed herself for what had happened to her. The 11 year old boy walked onto the poarch and went up behind Candace. "Aunt Candace?"

Candace turnned to see Keegan. "Oh, yes?"

"Are you alright?" Keegan asked.

"Oh, yes." Said Candace as she whipped away her tears.

"Let's have a moment." Said Keegan. He and Candace went over to a table and they sat down in two chairs. "I should apologize for listening to you."

"No, that's alright." Said Candace.

"Can i ask you something?" Keegan asked.

"Oh, sure." Said Candace.

"Do you ever ask yourself...why you weren't with me and Dad when my Mom passed? Or why you never found out about her passing until now?" Keegan asked.

"Keegan...i've been asking myself that question every day for the past two weeks. But i guess you ask yourself...why you and your parents had to be the family on the road that day." Said Candace.

"No, i don't. We were on the road that day because of me." Said Keegan. "We were just getting out of school for the summer...and i mentioned that i wanted to go on a camping trip. So Mom said that we'd go one one. So a few days later, we packed up...loaded the stuff into the station wagon and drove off...and then Mom...left our lives forever. For a long, long time...i found it difficult...to live with the fact...that if i hadn't asked Mom to go on that camping trip with me and Dad...she would still be with us."

"But Keegan...there was no possible way you could have known what would happen. It wasn't your fault." Said Candace.

"I know. But it took me till now to realize that. And now...you must realize...that it's not your fault either...oaky?" Said Keegan.

"Okay." Said Candace.

Keegan and Candace stood up and they both embraced each other with a hug as they both cried and moarned the loss of Karen.
