Celwriter: Over half a story in one day, tsk, tsk, Cel you have too much time on your hands. The truth is, I couldn't believe Cel's relation to Mort either, a little too strange for me.

Chapter 10
"Because you're the only one keeping Mort from cracking," the sheriff told her. "I'm responsible for the safety of those within my territory and if Mort went crazy, it would be my fault."
"But I heard you talking to...another sheriff and you said that Mort was a psycho killer!" Cel exclaimed.
"That's what I thought," he replied. "But I heard about what you did for Mort. Anyone who could do that and love him like that should be his daughter." The sheriff tipped his hat and gave Cel the pen back. "I will be checking on you every once in a while," he added as he walked off.
Cel was now really Mort's daughter. It felt really good. The burden of her secret was lifted off her shoulders.
Mort continued going to his sessions and Cel stayed home to receive the mail. One day, she was checking the mail and it was the letter from the gene scientist. Her mother had received the sperm cells from a genius donor bank because her "father" was infertile. This is what ended their marriage and the stress killed her mom.
Cel opened the letter, not near so curious as she had been before. She had a real father and this didn't matter. Mort came home to see Cel ripping open the letter.
She read it.
The letter dropped.
Cel burst out laughing.
