The Letter: The Finale

As Harry jumped up towards Gene, Gene moved out of the way allowing Harry to stand up straight.

"I knew you would find some way to ruin my plans! But not this time!" Harry said as he shot a laser towards Gene.

Quickly, Gene dodged out of the way and said, "Harry this time you are going down for good."

Gene ran towards Harry and pushed him on the ground. He got on top of him and punched him as hard as he can in the face. To his surprise, Harry's face was made of metal, almost breaking Gene's fist.

"Ah shit!" Gene yelled as he pulled back in pain.

"Ooops, did I forget to tell you my face was pure metal? Oh well" said Harry as he punched Gene in the stomach, knocking him down.

Jim grabbed Starla and Lea and ran towards his car.

"Common get in the car" Jim yelled.

"But what about Gene?" asked Starla.

"Don't worry about him. He will be fine. Just get in the car!" Jim yelled as he pushed them in the car and drove away.

"I see Jim ran away with your little friends. Isn't he such a good friend?Leaving you all alone to me" Harry said sarcastically.

"Shut up! Jim is my friend and I don't care what you think. I just want to see you die once and for all" Gene said as he got up from the ground and rushed towards Harry.

Quickly Harry shot rope from his arm and tied Gene's hands together. Gene tried to untie himself but nothing worked. Finally, Gene put his head down and ran towards Harry's crotch.

'I hope this isn't metal too' Gene thought as he slammed into Harry's crotch bringing Harry to his knees.

"You son of a bitch!" Harry said as his eyes began to swell with tears. "See you aren't as great as you thought you were!" Gene said as he kicked Harry in the head as hard as he can.

Blood began to flow from Harry's mouth and he said, "You're not going to win this time Gene Starwind!"

Harry got up with his last bit of strength and pulled out a gun from his waist band.

"Rot in hell!" Harry said as he shot fire after fire at Gene.

Amazingly, Gene managed to dodge into the bushes avoiding every bullet. While behind the bushes, he found a small piece of glass. He pushe dup against it and rubbed the rope against its sharp edge. Finally, after a few moments, he was free. When he heard the gun run out of bullets he jumped out and pushed Harry over. He kicked the gun out of his hands and slammed down on his stomach. Harry rolled over in pain and Gene continued to kick him over and over again until he rolled into the middle of the street.

Gene looked at Harry and said, "You're through Harry McDougal!"

Harry slowly turned over and in a low voice said, "Not quite."

He grabbed Gene by the legs and wouldn't let go. Suddenly a truck in the distance began to blow its horn. It was approaching faster and faster and Gene still couldn't move his leg. Was this the end for him? All his life he just wanted to be happy and Melfina was the only one that could accomplish that. He wasn't about to let Harry McDougal let all of that go to ruins. Just a few feet from the front of the truck, Gene managed to kick lose of Harry's grip and jump out of the way. The truck rolled over Harry, leaving scattered pieces of flesh and metal all over the highway.

He looked at was left of Harry and said, "What a crazy mother fucker."

Gene looked away and started to walk down the road looking for a phone. Suddenly he heard voices in the distance.

"Gene! Gene!" Melfina screamed from Jim's car.

Gene turned around to see who was screaming his name and he saw her. It was Melfina running towards him. He ran up to meet her and grabbed her as hard as he could. He kissed her hard and looked into her eyes.

"Oh Melfina, I'm so glad to see you" Gene said as he held her close.

Melfina pulled away and slapped him in the face. "What the hell was that for?" Gene asked.

"How dare you scare me like that! You tell me you're going to see your daughter and wind up almost getting yourself killed!" Melfina said outraged.

"Sweetheart, I never intended on doing this. I really thought I was going to see my daughter, but it turns out that it was all a big scheme of Harry McDougal to try to win you over and take you away from me. He kidnapped my ex girlfriend and her daughter to get me to come here. How is everyone else anyway?" Gene asked.

"We're fine, thanks to you" said Lea as she ran out of the car and grabbed Gene's leg.

"Oh, so you must be Lea" Gene said smiling.

Starla walked over to Gene and pulled Lea away from his leg.

She looked at him and said, "Thank you so much Gene. Even though I regret that summer night I met you because of all the crap you put us through today I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. How can I ever repay you?"

"Oh there's no need for that. Really, it's my job" Gene said modestly.

Lea looked up at Gene and tugged on his pants. Gene lowered himself to her and she gave him a big hug.

"Thanks Gene, for saving my life" said Lea in a tiny voice.

"Well, I don't want to ruin the moment but our cab is waiting" said Starla.

She kissed him on the cheek and took Lea's hand.

"Sometimes I wish you were Lea's father. Even though you wouldn't be around all the time, what you showed to me today is more than I could ever ask for" Starla said as she walked back to the cab.

"Hey Starla, good luck out there! Keep in touch, please" Gene said.

Starla turned around and smiled. Lea looked back and waved. They both got into the cab and drove away. In his heart Gene felt glad that he had defeated Harry but at the same time he felt thankful that he was able to meet Lea and her mother. Even though he really wasn't her father, he felt a small bond that could never be taken away from him. He waved to the car as they passed by and eventually they disappeared in the dust.

"Geez, what happened here?" asked Jim as he walked Melfina and Gene back to the car.

"So you and Starla did have a little thing in the past?" asked Melfina.

"Yea but it's nothing compared to what's gonna happen tonight" Gene said as he winked at her.

"Oh Gene, get your head out of the gutter" said Jim as Melfina looked at him wondering what was going on.

"I don't understand" Melfina said.

Gene laughed to himself and said, "Don't worry about it. It will be just fine."
