Chapter Five: Answer

Karen and Jack ran into her apartment to find the police everywhere. Rosario walked to Karen with tears in her eyes. "Is he alright?" Karen asked.

"No, Ms. Karen I'm sorry. It was suicide." Rosario watched as Karen collapsed into Jack's arms balling like a small child whose puppy died.

A young police man walked over to the three of them and took off his hat. "Are you Mrs. Walker?" He asked with a pained look on his face.

She couldn't answer so Jack did it for her as he held her in his arms. "Yeah, she's his wife."

"I know it's hard for you, but, do you know why Mr. Walker would've taken his life?"

Karen wiped her tears from her face and faced the officer. "Yes. I- I was having an affair and he found out. He tried to kill me, but I got away and Rosario called me this morning to tell me about it."

"Alright. Thank you, Mrs. Walker." The officer walked back to the chief and began to explain to him.

"Oh Jack what am I going to do?" Karen turned to him and buried her face in his shirt. "I can't live here. It'd be too painful." She looked up at him as tears filled her deep brown eyes.

"Well, you could come live with me, until you find a new place. Only if you want to though."

"Really? You'd let me?" Karen looked up into his light blue eyes and smiled when he nodded. She pulled his head down and kissed him lightly before rushing upstairs to get some of her things.

Jack carried Karen's suitcase into his apartment and set it on the floor. "Where do you want all this stuff?" He asked as she hung her coat up.

"I'll put it away Poodle. Thanks again for letting me live with you." Karen smiled and took his coat.

"Oh no problem, besides I get to see you all the time now." Jack walked to the cupboard and opened it up, he pulled out a box of pasta and stared at it for a minuet. Karen watched him intently, then picked up her bag and set it on the counter. She opened it and took out her bathroom stuff and walked into the tiny bathroom to put it away. She slowly opened the medicine cabinet and caught all of Jack's hair supplies as they tumbled out. She put them back and closed the door. After some searching she found a basket behind the toilet and dumped all of her stuff in it.

When she opened the closet in the back of the bathroom she shoved his things aside to make room for her own clothes and unpacked them carefully. She looked into the shower, it was spotless. She laughed softly and walked out to help Jack with dinner.

"Do you need any help?" Karen asked as Jack started the sauce.

"No thanks after the roast incident I don't trust you in the kitchen." Jack smiled as she hit him on the head with a towel. She jumped the step to the living room and sat down at the piano. "Are you gonna play something?" Jack asked curiously.

"Yeah, I think I will." Karen watched Jack's face go from confusion to disbelief as he watched her flip through the book of music. She had been taught piano when she was little, by her father. She found a song she liked and placed her fingers on the keys, and then she sang.

"I will be the answer, at the end of the line.

I will be there for you, while you take the time.

In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground.

I will hold the balance if you can't look down.

If it takes my whole life, I won't break I won't bend.

It'll all be worth it, worth it in the end.

Cause I can only tell you what I know, that I need you in my life.

When the stars have all gone out, you'll still be burning so bright.

Cast me gently, into morning, for the night has been unkind.

Take me to a place so holy, that I can wash this from my mind

The memory of choosing not to fight.

If it takes a whole life, I won't break I won't bend.

It'll all be worth it, worth it in the end.

Cause I can only tell you what I know, that I need you in my life,

And when the stars have all burned out, you'll still be burning so bright.

Cast me gently into morning, for the night has been unkind."

Jack stared at her in amazement for a few seconds. "Karen, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine…starving…but fine." Karen looked up at him with small tears in her eyes, but she had to be strong.
