"So mother dearest, how do you think of my life now? I did everything you told me to do and I still got nothing out of it. I didn't get my money, I didn't get rid of Jackie, and I certainly didn't get rid of that little brat of hers; and now Steven Hyde is fighting me over Evan not being his. So you see, everything hasn't gone my way as you had planned. I should have pushed Jackie down those stairs when I had the chance but I didn't. Well, it won't matter now because soon I'll have everything that I had ever wanted and no will stop me." Valerie said to her mother.
Her mother never answered.
"Awe what's wrong mother dearest, speechless. Well, this is definitely a first for you mother. Don't tell me that you condone my actions when you are that had pushed me into this to begin with. Now you and everyone else are going to be paid back severely; although, I think that you have already been paid back quite enough." Valerie said.
"Um Miss, I hate to interrupt you but you are becoming to loud; we were wondering if you could keep your voice down a little bit so others can pay their respects to their friends and family." The keeper of the cemetery said.
"Oh, I am sorry." Valerie said.
"That's okay miss." The keeper said.
"Before you go sir, I need to talk to you about buy couple of more plots." Valerie said.
"You want to buy a couple of more plots; make I ask why miss?" He asked politely.
"Well, I have a couple of friends that found out that they were terminally ill and they asked me to help with their arrangements. They didn't want to burden their family with this task." Valerie said in a sad voice.
"Why you poor child; you just lost your poor mother and now you're about to loose your friends. I don't know how you've survived with all the tragedy you've had to face in the past year." The keeper said.
"I just pray to God for love and support." She said in a sad voice.
"You know, I'll call you tomorrow to set-up an appointment and we can make arrangements for your friends then." He said.
"That'll be perfect." Valerie said.
Eric sat in the waiting room; it had been hours since he had learned of the attacks on his friends. The FBI was now swarming all around the hospital. The rumors that were going around were that the attack had to do with her husband and daughter's death. Eric was sitting quietly in a chair when Detective Anders came up to him.
"I didn't know you were working this case." Eric said.
"I'm not; I'm here to talk to you about something else." Anders said.
"You have good news for me?" Eric asked.
"No, Mr. Foreman I don't." Anders said.
"You didn't find her did you?" Eric said.
"Mr. Foreman we found remains outside her home in NY." Anders said.
"Please tell me they aren't hers." Eric said.
"Mr. Foreman; I won't lie to you. It doesn't look good; until the forensics comes back on the remains we know for sure." Anders said.
"Oh my God who would want to kill her?" Eric asked him.
"I don't know sir; I don't know. Rest assure, if it does turn up to be Donna's remains, we will find her killer." Anders said.
"Yeah but she'll be gone." Eric said.
"I know; and again, I'm terribly sorry for your loss." Anders said.
The detective rose and left Eric sitting pondering the news he had just received.
It had been three years ago, that Donna had gone missing. She was teaching women's studies at Columbia at the time of her kidnapping. Apparently she had struggled with her attacker. The report about her missing had made nationally news. Eric was distraught. It was around this time that he had decided to move back to Point Place. Hyde had been his first visitor to his new apartment; followed by his parents and his estranged sister and her nutty husband. Jackie had called him; this had started a whole new war between Jackie and Hyde. He was mad that she hadn't come out here to see him and instead stayed back in Madison. She on the other hand was mad at him for not coming out to see Marissa. Eric at the time could care less about the whole mess. As Eric was sitting in the waiting room, he thought of something. Robert, Courtney, Jackie, Hyde, and Marissa had all been attacked and Donna had gone missing three years ago. Maybe they were in some way connected. Although it wouldn't make sense for anyone to go after Robert and Courtney; it did make sense that someone would want to Donna, Jackie, Hyde, Marissa, and possible even him; but who would want to harm them. Who would go to such great lengths to hurt them? Only one person came to his head; only one person would want to harm them. That bitch; she killed Donna and attacked Jackie and Hyde and kidnapped Marissa. Eric got up and rushed out of the hospital.
Her head was ringing and her eyes were swollen up. She was dazed and confused about were she was. One minute she had awakened to find her mother standing over her and the next minute someone had grabbed her by her face and thrown her against the sharp part of her dressers; that was all she had remembered. She wasn't sure where she was all she knew was that it was dark and cold. She thought she had heard a rat; rats scared her. They had long tails and her mother always told her that they like to eat little girls. She didn't want to think about her parents right now. If they hadn't been fighting, they might have heard her screaming for help; but no they both had to always make each other miserable; she now understood why they weren't together. She heard footsteps but couldn't see where they were coming from. She then realized that they were above her head; which meant that she was on the bottom level of some kind of building.
Valerie heard loud pounding on her door and opened it up; she saw that it was Eric and gave him a disgusted look. Eric gave an equal look back and then barged into her house.
"What the hell have you done with Marissa and Donna?" Eric asked her.
"I don't know what the hell you are talking about as usual." Valerie said.
"Yeah I'm sure you don't; I can't believe that you would kidnap an innocent child and then try to kill her parents. You are sick; get out of my way." Eric said.
"What do think you are doing?" Valerie asked him.
"I'm going to search this house." Eric said.
"No you're not." Valerie said.
"What are you afraid of? That I might find Marissa dead or alive?" Eric asked.
"No, that's ridiculous." Valerie said.
"I think I'll start in the basement." Eric said.
"NO YOU CAN'T!" Valerie exclaimed.
Her mother never answered.
"Awe what's wrong mother dearest, speechless. Well, this is definitely a first for you mother. Don't tell me that you condone my actions when you are that had pushed me into this to begin with.
