There Is No Justice
"Good morning." Summer smiled in hearing Seth's voice carry to her ear via her phone. She was still laid in bed and rubbed her eyes sleepily.
"Good morning to you too Cohen," she replied, still smiling.
Even after a couple of years knowing him, Summer still got butterflies whenever he was around. She didn't like to admit it but she couldn't deny the stomach somersaults that took place, especially when they kissed.
"So what are we doing today?" Summer asked, twirling her mahogany locks around her finger.
"Uh, I don't know, you pick, as long as it doesn't involve a mall!" he warned. She laughed to herself, the one thing he detested the most was trailing after her in a mall.
"Okay, well I'll get dressed and come over so we can decide together," she said.
"Okay, I'll see you in an hour so you have enough time to pick out your outfit."
"Cohen!" Summer heard Seth laughing and glared into the phone, forgetting that he couldn't see her.
"Sorry Summer, well I'll be over in an hour, ok?"
"Yeah, see you then."
"Bye." Seth hung up and Summer rolled over, placing her cell on the table.
She paused for a second to think about her day before jumping out of bed and prancing to her closet. She knew that it would take her a while to pick out her outfit but the one thing Summer detested was admitting Seth was right.
Exactly an hour later, the doorbell went. Summer was over in the kitchen and couldn't get to the door before her Dad got to it. He opened it and sighed silently when he saw Seth.
"Hello Seth, how are you?"
"Hello there Dr. Roberts, well I'm great. I mean how can't I be when your daughter graces me with her presence?" Seth smiled nervously as Neil nodded slowly. Summer hid out of sight but so she could hear Seth's ramblings.
"So, how's work? Good? I heard that plastic surgery was the fastest developing branch of medicine. Is that right?" Seth said. Neil simply stared as Seth blankly.
"Uh…"he began
"Oh and the market, that's good still isn't it? Or is it bad?" An awkward silence followed and Summer bit her lip trying not to laugh. She then decided to come out to stop any further awkwardness.
"Hey Cohen, its okay Dad, we're just going to go into the living room," Summer said to her dad, giving him a 'you-can-leave-now' look. He nodded, almost looking thankful.
"Oh its fine sweetie, I have a board meeting," he kissed her on the cheek, "See you later, for dinner?"
"Yeah, totally. Bye Dad."
"Bye honey, bye Seth." The Dr. nodded, picked up his keys and briefcase before exiting the house. Seth waved after him.
"We're making strides!" Seth exclaimed.
"Uh, sure Cohen," Summer laughed, "Come on, come into the living room so we can decide what to do."
As they entered the living room and sat down, the T.V. was still on from Neil watching it. It happened to be the news.
"So, any ideas…?" Seth asked, shrugging.
"One actually," Summer smiled before leaning towards Seth to kiss him passionately. They got into the swing of it and the kisses became more and more intense, they were only interrupted by a particular report that they heard on the news.
"A teenager was found dead last night in her home in Newport, Orange County." Seth broke away from Summer, causing her to sigh. Both their heads turned to the screen.
"The teen, now identified as Beth Jones was found in her bed having been smothered in an unprovoked attack. Her family are distraught and appealing for her killer to be found."
Summer's face went white as Beth's picture flashed up on the screen shortly followed by a clip of her parents at a press conference, her mother sobbing uncontrollably.
"In a bizarre twist to the murder, Beth was found with all her hair having been cut off and scattered around the room, her nails coloured in with a permanent marker and her clothes torn up and strewn across the room. Police are currently baffled at this truly weird twist to the murder and are urging anyone with any information to come forward immediately."
Summer sat back in her seat, truly shocked at Beth's murder. She wasn't a nice girl at all but who deserves this kind of treatment? Seth looked across at Summer. He knew who Beth was and how Summer hung around with her for a while.
"Uh, Summer are you okay?" Seth asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine its just a shock that's all. I haven't actually spoken to her for about a year and a half but what an awful way to die," Summer breathed. Seth nodded, his face softening and his hand moving on top of hers.
"Anyway, I just hope they catch the sick person who did that to her." Both sat in silence for a minute until Summer turned back to Seth.
"I don't want it to ruin our day though…"
"That's what I hoped to hear," Seth smiled, leaning back to Summer. As they began to kiss again, Beth left Summer's mind as she concentrated on the happy feelings that were brought on by those butterflies.
About a mile away, Ava sat in her shadowed room, her eyes glued to her T.V. A sick smile was plastered on her face as she watched Beth's mother break down at the press conference. It's hard to imagine anyone gaining pleasure from this upsetting image but Ava did.
Her face contorted into a bigger smile as the police chief appeared, claiming that despite the ferocity of the attack, hardly any clues remained. She knew this because she'd planned it to be this way. Her movements were precise, she'd left nothing for the police. Ava knew that she had to be careful, even the slightest careless movement could land her back in the institute. But she'd pulled it off.
Unbelievably, she' done it. In Ava's books, it was a shining achievement. She turned off the TV and rummaged in her pocket for her list. After pulling it out, she got out her permanent marker and drew a thick, solid line through Beth's name.
"Finally, justice has been done," she breathed. But it hadn't. If the world were just, Ava would be locked up but she wasn't and the next person on her list would know how much that meant.
After deciding to just spend the day at Summer's house, taking advantage of there being no parental figures there to enjoy each other's company, Seth and Summer went over to the Cohen's to play with April for a while to make her happy. The tantrums that she could throw were amazing considering that they were coming from such a small girl.
Unfortunately she'd heard about Beth and kept asking everyone about it. She didn't understand why a person would want to kill another person. To avoid upsetting her, Seth and Summer tried to distract her by throwing a birthday for one of her toy horses. It passed the time just nicely and as the party came to a close, it came to Aprils bedtime.
Seth and Summer performed a very elaborate version of Little Red Riding Hood for her bedtime story which she really enjoyed.
"So what did the wood chopper do?" April asked eagerly. Seth glanced at Summer quickly. They had to give a very mild version of the story.
"Uh, well the woodchopper burst into the house and saw the wolf so he walked over and roared as loud as he could." Summer said quickly. Seth took a deep breath and roared really loudly which made April collapse into fits of giggles. Summer laughed too, she'd never seen Seth, well, roar.
"And the wolf jumped out of the bed and screamed…" Seth continued. Summer did a high pitched scream.
The two sat beside April on her bed as they finished the story.
"And as the wolf screamed, Grandma leaped out of the wolfs mouth because it was so big."
"The wolf was so scared that he ran away, never to be seen again!" Summer finished dramatically.
"And the grandma, the woodchopper and Red Riding Hood all ate the lovely cakes that Red Riding Hood had brought…" Seth said, licking his lips and rubbing his tummy.
"And then they all lived happily ever after," Summer concluded.
"Except the wolf because he as naughty!" Seth added. April clapped as the couple bowed.
"SETH? Seth, you up there?" Kirsten's voice drifted up the stairs and Seth left the room. Summer tucked April in and hugged her.
"Summer?" April said.
"What's the matter sweetie?"
"That person who killed that poor girl should have to visit the wolf so he can eat them shouldn't they?" April replied.
"Yes, I think they should," Summer replied.
"Its such a bad thing Summer, why does it happen?"
"Well honey, sometimes life just isn't fair," Summer replied sadly. April nodded sombrely as Summer kissed her forehead.
"Night April," Summer said, standing up and heading for the door to turn out the light.
"Night Sum."
