It had been three years since Katie's death. The band was now 18 and Zack and Eleni were engaged to be married. Freddy was doing horribly. He didn't eat or sleep regularly. He was on several different medications all for depression. And was seeing a therapist everyday. Freddy would have flashbacks of all the times he had spent with Katie. They would always bring a smile to his face. Aside from one in-particular.

? ? Freddy's Flashback ? ?

The police knocked on Freddy and Eleni's door. Eleni had been cooking and Freddy and Zack were playing cards at the table. It had been 3 months since Katie hadn't returned home that day in October. Everyone gave up looking for her, and hope of her ever showing up, so they rarely thought about her and tried to refrain from talking about her. Freddy had gotten up to answer the door. He couldn't think of who it could possibly be. True it was Christmas. But he's parents decided they didn't want to leave their buiness trip. And decided Eleni and Freddy were perfectly capable without them and they never called either. Katie's dad would always come over to play cards with the boys. But he commited suicide shortly after Katie mom died in a car crash in June. It was a cold December night and it was nights like this that Freddy did remember Katie. He remembered her always coming over to watch movies and sit by the fire. All the nights they'd go outside and stay out till 3 in the morning having snowball fights. Then coming in for cups of hot cocoa. Freddy came out of his trance and realized he was at the door. He opened it.

"Hello, Is there a Mr. Fredrick Anthony Jones here?" A police officer asked, Freddy could see he wasn't here to arrest him, or give him good news. He swallowed hard.

"Uhm, I am, and its Freddy if you don't mind." He replied

"Of course Sorry. Uhm could I come in for a minute. I also know that this is where a Zachary Taylor Mooningham and Eleni Nicole Jones resides." The police officer said.

"Uhm yea they do, but its Zack and Leni, if you don't mind, we hate the full names."

"Of course."

"Ok so just follow that hallway down and take a seat."

Freddy and the officer made it into the kitchen within minutes. Eleni turned around to announce she was ready to play cards now when she spotted the officer. "OH MY- FREDDY WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU!!!!!!!!" "Calm down sweetie I don't think he's here for Freddy, or Freddy would have A) been in cuffs or B) the officer would be un-conscience." Zack said calmly to Eleni. "Good point I suppose. So uhm, would you like any coffee, tea, or uhm our Christmas dinners gonna be done in a little while, your welcome to join us." "A cup of coffee would be great thanks and as much as I would love a meal here because you all look like really swell people and a really good bunch to hang around with im gonna have to pass because my wife and kids expecting me." "Oh, well that sounds really nice. So what brings you here? The nearest police station is two towns over." "Well, Miss. Jones, I'm going to need all of you to sit down." "Uh, ok" And Eleni made her way to the seat next to her brother. Zack, Freddy, and Eleni were all looking at the police officer with the same expression, confusion.

"Ok, I am aware that the browns are not uhm, capable of hearing any news at the moment. And they left Mr. Fredri- Freddy, in charge if anything happened, Now I am sure you are aware that-"The officer began but was interrupted by Freddy. "Does this have anything to do with Katie?" Freddy said. You could see the pain clearly in his chocolaty brown eyes as tears threatened to fall, and he just barely choked out 'Katie'. "Well yes it does" "Oh my god, HAVE YOU FOUND HER!" Freddy said, you could now see specks of hazel dancing around his eyes and he almost hugged the officer. "Uhm, you could say that." The officer replied almost robotically. "What do you mean 'you could say that' what's wrong with Katie, she's okay right?" "He hasn't been taking her being gone to well" Zack whispered to the officer. "Well Freddy, We found her, out by Lake Ronkakama apparently you all hung out their when you were kids? Uhm, she was indeed kidnapped and someone apparently wanted her to do something she wasn't willing to do and she was stabbed, shot, and then thrown near the lake. She's at the morgue right now being worked on. She's been like this for at least 2 and a half years. So we really couldn't save her. I'm really sorry. I hope you enjoy your Christmas." And with that the officer got up and left.

Freddy ran up to his room crying. Eleni and Zack sat at the table talking, thinking of possible funeral arrangements Katie might have liked, for about an hour. Then Eleni excused herself to go talk to her brother. She walked up the stairs of her once familiar house. It didn't feel the same anymore. Their were no more band practices. No more band sleepovers. No more happy moments. Everything died right in that moment the police officer brought the reality of Katie's death.

::To be continued:: (Sorry about killing Katie, but I can promise you something. There will be a happy ending NO MORE DYING!)
