9:00PM McGintys May 10,2008
On the night Gary finally has been 'let off' early by 'the paper', while Garys secretly thinking how wonderful his life has been since Clementina and the girls came into, a girl of about four walks into McGintys 'alone'.
As the girl reminds him of his daughter Ellie, he walks up to her. As she sees him, with all the shrieking a terrified four-year-old can muster she screams for her daddy, "Dadddyyy!" and runs into Garys arms which hug her tight.
Oblivious to the suspicious glances from his friends, his parents (whom are visiting), and a few of the McGintys regulars (whom have always known him as a childless divorcee) he tries to get Ellie to explain, "Ellie, why are you here alone sweetie?...Whats wrong?...Wheres mommy and your sisters?"
"Mommy...died..." Ellie moans as she starts to cry again and explain that she doesnt know where her sisters are except Skylar, Gary picks her up and carries her into the office. Followed by his friends and parents who have seen the terrified look on Garys face when Ellie started to talk.
"Mom, Dad this is your grandaughter, Ellie." Gary explains to his parents, "Ellie, these are your grandparents."
"Mom,Dad, Everybody. I need you all to help me. I have to go find my wife and my other kids," Gary says handing Ellie to his mother.
"Gary? What wife and kids?" asks Garys parents.
"Ill tell you all about it later. But I have to go so can you take care of her for me," says Gary referring to Ellie. "From what she says its and emergency so I better hightail it out of here."
Giving Ellie a kiss on the cheek, Gary leaves her at the loft in his parents care as he heads out to get started on his search.
An Hour Later On The Street
Having Lucius Snow appear and make it kknown he knows where Garys kids are and that he will lead him to them Lucius stops in front of a catholic church where they hear a little girl scream.
"You need to go to her, shes around the corner on the left." Lucious says to Gary. "Its Jayne."
Since Ellie has already told Gary where Skylar is he only has two more to find now as he picks up Jayne and thinks to himself "One down two to go." As he sets off to follow Lucius to the next one.
After following Lucius two more blocks west ( which seemed more like two hundred at this late hour) they find another of his daughters 'Lois Marissa' sleeping in a doorway, her face streaked with tears. Without waking her Gary picks her up with his free arm and follows Lucius to McGintys and heading toward the El Station.
"Do you mind if I stop at my place for a second and turn these two over to their grandparents?" Gary asks.
"No. But try to hurry, we have to get to the other two soon." replies Lucius.
"Okay, Thanks." Gary says as he runs into the bar for a second.
Gary finds Josie sleeping behind a bench when they get off of the El. He gathers her into his arms and heads to Clementinas apartment with Lucious still leading for some unknown reason.
Fifteen minutes later Gary and Lucius arrive at Clementinas apartment.
Finding the door locked, they rammed their way inside, knocking down the door as they did. Revealing a site that made Garys blod freeze in his veins.
Clementina was slouched dead in the corner.
Her throat had been cut from ear to ear, and shed been stabbed so many times, in so many places, that she was barely recognizable.
"N...noooooooooooo!" Gary wailed, the panic and the tears overcoming him. Gary cried like a baby, the shock causing him to fall backwards into Lucius arms.
Half An Hour Later McGintys
After being calmed by Lucius soothing reasoning and finding the rest of his daughters. And their mother whom was four months along with their sixth murdered in her apartment. Gary ends his night with Lucius and arrives at McGintys with Josie, Skylar and their mothers cigar box full of '$90000 dollars of child raising money' under one arm, puts his daughters to bed.
"Ill tell you all about it, and explain what this is all about tommorrow morning." Gary promises his parents and friends. And makes an anonymous phone call to the police about Clementina.
The Next Day
The next day Gary explains everything to his parents and friends. From finding Clementina in the loft to Lucius helping find him find the girls. Bernie, Lois,& the bunch are disappointed that they never got to meet Clementina but are glad that Gary had found happiness.
Joan, Jake, Alice, Ruby, Mark, Steinie, & Dr. Ross stop by after hearing about the night before.
Gary gets a call from the hospital say ing the baby survived the murder, and that he has a new baby daughter. Gary decides to name her Rachel Elizabeth Hobson.
After Ruby and Dr. Ross agree to give Gary and the girls grief counseling, Gary gives his mother and Chucks wife, Amber, some of the cigar box money to take the girls shopping for beds and enough clothes and toys to hold them over for awhile, since they are going to live with him now.
That Night
After going to the hospital and Joan, Jake, Alice, Ruby, Mark, Steinie, Dr. Ross, Marissa, Chuck, Amber, Crumb, Erica, Patrick, & Henry having to go to their respectable homes, Gary has a long talk about the future with his parents.
That night, with the girls still too frightened to sleep alone in their own beds, asleep in his own half-asleep arms. Gary turns to his parents and says "Even with all that has happened, and how everything has turned out, it doesnt really matter," Gary says and after looking around at his daughters and motioning to them he adds "I know I now have all Ive ever wanted."
THE END
