All Kevin could do was continue the case on Gettys which is what he did. It was two months after Kevin found out his wife was pregnant and he worked hard everyday and night with his mind on nothing but the case, and of course, Maryanne. He has prayed for the day that she'd get pregnant. Now that she did, he hates himself not being able to share the moment with Maryanne. Kevin was half-way asleep on his desk one night until the phone ring. He almost jumped out the chair. He rubbed his eyes then answered the phone. "Hello?" he said dryly. "Hi Kevin." said a female voice. Kevin almost jumped out of his chair again when he heard the voice. "Maryanne???" Kevin almost yelled. "Yeah, it's me." she said. "Maryanne...wh-wh-wh--" Kevin stuttered. "Kevin I just need to tell you something. I still haven't forgiven you. I hope you understand you broke my heart." Maryanne interrupted. "But Maryanne, you have to listen to me--" Kevin was interrupted again. "Kevin...just stop. I've done enough listening back there." she continued. "Maryanne, I don't know what happened. My mind was blank. I didn't know what I doing," Kevin said begging, "I love you. I would never try to purposely hurt you. Please forgive me." Maryanne sighed. "Kevin...I miscarried...I'm under a lot of stress right now." she said. "You miscarried?!" Kevin said now jumping out of his chair. "Yes. I can't explain why right now. It's just not a good time for me. I just think that we really need some more time apart." Maryanne said. "But Maryanne--" Kevin started. "I'm sorry Kevin. I love you too but I gotta go. Bye." she said. "Maryanne--" Kevin said. Dial tone. She hung up. Kevin just held the phone to his ear for a second and then slammed the phone down angrily. He buried his head in his hands again. "FUCK!" he yelled then sighed.

The day of the big case has arrived. Kevin was already waited outside the court room nervously. He took a deep breath then walked in the court room to see the jury and Gettys sitting down looking mean. Kevin looked over at him and their eyes locked on each other. Kevin started having flashbacks again. He felt as if he was looking deep into Gettys' soul. Kevin blinked his eyes as if a bright light just poured into them and looked away. Gettys continued to stare at Kevin with that mean glare. Kevin ignored him and went to sit next to his client. Still, Gettys continued to stare as if he was trying to read Kevin's mind. Kevin looked back to see John smiling at him. Kevin suddenly felt the numbness again. This time it was much worse. The numbness was so bad, Kevin felt like he was being cooked. Then it stopped. Kevin didn't feel so negative about supporting Gettys or even cheating on his wife. He felt great as a matter of fact and he didn't even know it. "All rise. The honorable Armond Poe presiding." the baliff said. Everybody rose. "Please be seated." Poe said. Kevin looked at Poe and waited for him to say something. "Your witness, Mr. Lomax." Poe said. It seemed to Kevin that Poe's voice echoed. Kevin slowly rose and found himself smiling merrily.

Kevin walked out the courtroom quickly with a frightened look on his face. The press and jury all walked out after him. Everybody was congratualating him for a great case. That's right. Kevin won the case and he didn't look too happy about it. He shook a couple of hands and burst out the door. John was right behind him and scared the crap out of him. "Hey kid, where you going?" John asked. Kevin just walked away without saying a word. John had the devilish smile. Kevin continued home. When he got in the door, he didn't look well at all. Suddenly the phone. He picked it up. "Hello?" Kevin said. A moment of silence. Then Kevin got this look of mixed emotions on his face. "No..." he said. The conversation continued on the other line. "No...no!" Kevin said again. A tear ran down his face. He slammed down the phone, now crying softly. "NO!!!" Kevin yelled after a moment of silence. He buried his head in his hands and his hands were practically filled with tears.

Kevin wouldn't get out of his bed because he was too busy mourning over Maryanne's death. She died the day of Kevin's case. The cause of death is still unknown because people that Kevin talked to said she dropped dead in the street. An autopsy was done but she was perfectly healthy. Kevin fell asleep one night after crying his eyes out. When he woke up again, he found himself in John's apartment. "What the f--" Kevin said as he sat up. "A mystery Kevin? A plain goddamn mystery you have no idea about. Life is nothing but a fucking mystery. Think about it. You have no idea how you ended up in this shit do you?" said a voice. Kevin was very aware of who the voice was but where was he? Kevin whipped his head around helplessly searching for John. And there he was, right behind Kevin. "A fucking mystery indeed." John laughed. Kevin's eyes grew wider. "What the fuck do you want from me?" Kevin asked. John chuckled. "What do you think, hmm? Think back about what I said before." John replied. "What are you talking about?" Kevin asked. "Think....back."John said again. All of a sudden Kevin had flashbacks and remembered all of his past tramas. He looked up at John. " You motherfucker!" Kevin yelled trying to get up. But he couldn't. He was tied to the chair and he didn't know it. "Let me go!" Kevin bellowed. John circled Kevin several times. "Hmm...now you remember don't you?" John said. Kevin went numb again. "What are you doing to me?" Kevin said weakly trying to get over the numbness. Christabella walked out with a knife. "He's taking away your positive energy." she said with a smile. She undid Kevin's shirt then cut his chest open. Kevin didn't even feel it. He was too weak to protest and move. "You gotta love her don't ya?" John laughed. Christabella looked into Kevin's eyes and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips and Kevin felt like he was in a perfect and blissful paradise. Kevin's eye's opened again. He had no idea what was just done to him. He looked down to his chest to see it cut open like a fish. The weird thing was that there was no blood. "What the fuck?!" Kevin yelled. Christabella placed a finger over his mouth. "Shhh. Don't worry about it..." she chuckled. "Now what, Kevin? Where do you have to go? When? Or do you have anywhere to go...no." John said with a laugh. Suddenly Kevin felt lightheaded and dizzy, the faces of the two before him starting to disappear into blackness... "Well, Christabella, my dear. Who's our next target?" John said with an evil grin.

The End
