BROKEN APART

"MOM! I'm home!" Frank cried as he opened the door.
"Frank?" came his mother's voice from the kitchen, not bothering to come out to the living room. She sounded worried.
"Yes, it is me," Frank replied, "Is dad home, mom?"
"He says he'll come home for dinner,"
"Tell me when he comes will you?"
"Sure thing, Frank,"
"Um, mom, there's someone I'd like you to meet,"
Laura Hardy came out of the kitchen, "Who is it, Frank?"
"Mary-Kate DeMontres," MK introduced herself, shaking hands with Mrs. Hardy, "a pleasure to meet you, ma'am,"
"Hi, wanna join us for dinner?" Mrs. Hardy asked.
"Why not?" MK asked, "I've been wanting to meet Fenton Hardy for so long,"
"Why are you eager to see him?" Mrs. Hardy wanted to know.
"Something that concerns his work that I don't think he wants you to be involved in, Mrs. Hardy," MK answered.
"Let's go and get started," Frank went up the stairs, followed by MK.
"Get started on what, Frank?" Mrs. Hardy asked.
"Some school stuff," Frank lied, running the rest of the steps, not wanting to answer any other questions from his mom.
Frank and MK were in Frank's room. Frank had booted up his computer. MK took over the computer from there. She went to the Internet and hacked into the CIA's files which was based on the Net, then she worked her way into other files which aren't Internet-based. Once in, she accessed Leo's files.
"Interesting," Frank mused, "you hacked into the CIA system and got hold of Leo's files. All that in less than fifteen minutes, how did you that?"
"Lets just say, I've been doing this ever since forever" MK grinned.
Frank read the files and looked at some of the few pictures of Leo that were shown. Leo was a genius, he had always planned ahead, ready for surprises. He had even managed to blow the covers of the undercover agents that were sent to uncover Leo's schemes. Even though he's wanted by everyone and anyone, he still managed to skip countries and evade the authorities. This interests Frank.
"Frank! Dinner's ready!" Joe said, coming into the room.
"Hi, Joe," MK greeted.
"What brings you here?" Joe asked, heading towards the computer, curious, he began reading, "this is the CIA - "
"We know." Frank snapped.
"What-, How did you - " Joe was lost for words.
"Low security, hacked by an expert." Frank grinned at MK.
"The last time I tried, my computer was hit by a virus" Joe said, still shocked by the fact that his brother can get into CIA files.
"Lets get dinner," Frank went down and MK followed, Joe came down several minutes later.
"Where's dad, mom?" Frank asked
"He'll be here soon," she replied, sitting down. As if on cue, the door opened and Fenton Hardy came in.
"How's my family doing?" he asked, unaware of a visitor.
"Fine," Frank answered.
"Mr. Hardy, sir," MK greeted. Fenton looked up and saw MK.
"M...MK D...DeMontres?" he muttered, "what are you doing here?"
"Dad!" Frank cried, "that's no way to treat a guest!"
Fenton overcame his shock and looked at Frank, then to MK, "I guess you really did befriend MK then, huh, Frank?"
"So what if I do?"
"All I wanted to know was why were you on my case, Mr. Hardy" MK said, "Leo killed every single undercover agents he came across and every single detective and police officer who comes looking for him,"
"I know that," Fenton said
"You ought to back off,"
"No, I'm too involved in this,"
"Leo gave each person a couple of months to back off, then you're history,"
"I don't care." said Fenton, his tone final.
"Don't say that, honey," Laura was shocked by this news about her husband going after a serial killer and his life is going to end soon if he doesn't back off.
"Laura, honey, I'll be fine" Fenton tried to calm his wife
"That's what you always say!" she cried, fed up, "You go all over the world chasing criminals without fear, leaving me alone in this house, worrying for your safety and wondering if today is the last day I'll ever see you again!"
"Laura, - " Fenton did not have a chance to finish his sentence. His wife had went up to their bedroom and locked herself in.
Fenton sat on the sofa, "I won't back off,"
"You have to" MK said, "Everyone will have to back off on a case one day, everyone has their own ups and downs," MK shrugged
"You don't understand," Fenton protested, "you think you can stop me? Not a chance!"
"Mr. Fenton Hardy, you - "
"The last time I backed off, my friend was killed!" Fenton shouted, "I tried to save him, but it was too late! I can't do anything! I just watched him die --- "
"I know what happened, but if you don't back off this time, it'll be your death, not a friend's death." and with that, MK left the Hardy household.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Frank finished his food and washed his plate, yawning. His parents had a heated argument that lasted till after midnight. Frank can't sleep, so he read the forbidden files of the CIA until the house quieted down. He had heard the front door slam, but didn't bother much about it. His parents had never argued for a long time, in fact, Frank couldn't even remember when was the last time they'd had a fight. Frank sighed.
"Morning, Frank" Joe had just came into the kitchen, in search for food, "Frank?"
"What?" Frank looked back at his brother, knowing he too, didn't sleep well last night.
"Do you think mom and dad, you know, really are separated, I mean, the way they were shouting each other's head off - " Joe drank the orange juice he had poured into his glass.
Frank shrugged, "I don't know"
"Are you avoiding me for some reason?" Joe asked, noticing that Frank had hardly talked to him these past few days.
Frank remained silent, not knowing what to say.
"It's Callie, isn't it?" Joe asked, "she remembered me but not you, you're just - "
"Thanks for reminding me, little brother"
"You really are jealous"
"I'd rather Callie die than not remembering me"
"Don't say that"
"Why not?"
"When Iola died, - "
"This has nothing to do with Iola" Frank snapped and went out of the kitchen.
"Morning" Fenton greeted his two sons
"Morning" Joe replied, Frank just nodded without a word.
Frank got a strange 'desire' to get out of the house, but was stopped by his father.
"I need to talk to you boys" he started, "As you've noticed, your mom and I had a big fight yesterday night."
"What really happened, Dad?" Joe asked with concern in his voice.
"Your mom said she can't take it anymore, she wanted to file for a divorce - "
"Divorce??!!" both Frank and Joe exclaimed.
"I know this sounds bad, but, I've tried to talk her out of it, but she left, and I don't know where she is right now,"
"What about your case, Dad?" Joe asked
"I don't want to back out, but my family matters most to me, I can't leave. Your mom wants to file for divorce but I don't want to be separated from my wife"
"We understand, dad," Joe said.
"Dad, if Leo is really after you, wouldn't he go after mom to get to you?" Frank asked.
"Trust Frank to make things worse" Joe muttered.
"Hey!" Frank cried, "I'm only pointing out that mom may be in danger, that's all. If you got anything against it, then, fine! I'm outta here!" Frank got his jacket and stormed out of the house.
"What's eating him?" Fenton asked
Joe explained about Callie having amnesia and can't remember Frank. Fenton sighed, his family is breaking apart, all because of a criminal.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MK drank the last of her hot chocolate as she sat on the sofa. That was when she noticed something that she hadn't seen before. There was a piece of paper under her front door. It was clear that someone had pushed it in from outside. MK sighed, expecting it to be an advertisement of some sort. She picked the folded piece of paper. She began to read,
seven people died. three police officers. two undercover agents. one detective. don't worry. it's not your dear friend Hardy. the last person. your mother. Mrs. DeMontres. success. i managed to kill her! what do you think of that?
LEO
MK gasped. Leo had murdered her mother! Tears welled up in MK's eyes. The phone rang. MK ran to the phone and picked up the receiver, crushing the paper.
"Hello?" came a familiar voice
"Dad?" MK wiped her tears.
"Your mother died, MK"
"I know"
"Leo sent you a note?"
"Yes"
"He really wants us to suffer"
"He killed seven, including mom"
"Is there a blue card? With a picture of a lion that represents the zodiac sign, Leo -"
"I think so, hold on," MK looked over at the door, sure enough, there was a blue card, "yes, there is"
MK and her dad exchanged goodbyes and MK picked up the card. On one side, there was a picture of a lion, on the other side, there were the stars, which represent the zodiac sign, Leo. That was exactly how he got his code name.
LEO
