Chapter 9 The Total End

Three days later, Roy receives a medal for cracking the case. Ken, after three playful nights with May, moves on again. Becky and May and Rally are standing under umbrellas, in front of a freshly dug grave.

"Come on Becky. Let's give her a moment." Says May.

Rally just stands there staring letting the rain wash away her tears. Nothing can relive her pain. Nothing can fill the hole that she feels inside. She may not have had May's amount of experience with men, but one night with Michael was enough for her to understand the love that May and Ken have for each other. And despite their age difference, they would protect, kill, and die for each other. Michael had died saving her life. And she would gladly trade places with him, if she could. She only wanted to hold him one more time. She sighed heavily as she opened her jacket. Then kneeling at his grave, she places a ¾" wrench on his grave and then a single red rose, making a cross upon the mound of dirt.

"Goodbye Michael." Whispered Rally.
