Stage three: denial, the person will believe that the person who has wronged them or died or gone into coma, is merely trying topush buttons or maybe sleeping and will try to actually to communicate with them.

Lisa couldn't believe what she saw, "wha- did I- Jake please do-!" she was interrupted by him falling to the ground. "Jake!" she shrieked and ran too his side bending down next to him, "Jake please, please just stay awake please don't leave me, Jake."

"I'm so sorry Lisa I didn't mean to."

"Jake please just stay with me," she pleaded with him tears were streaming down her cheeks now, and she couldn't stop the water works.

"My right shoulder a tattoo… three others… same one… on the right shoulder… cell phone check it."

Lisa leaned over him and lifted up his sleeve to reveal a cross tattoo that was being engulfed by flames. "Lisa……. I love you…….. So much……….. Didn't mean……… to……. hurt you……. cell phone check it."

"Jake stay with me we'll get doctor and you'll be just fine," Lisa said she could hear Jackson pounding on the door now but she didn't care.

"Say hi to Richard for me," he said getting limper as he spoke. "Jake! Jake! Pease Jake!" she was overtaken with her sobs as he went completely limp and his blue eye that used to hold a world of warmth for her now were lifeless.

Then something in her eyes shifted her blue eyes grew dark and she reached into Jakes pocket and grabbed his knife. The rest was a blur; almost as if she had blacked out.

"Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. This never would have happened if I hadn't gone to Russia a few years ago," Lisa looked up at Keefe.

"Why would this be your fault?"

"An angry associate."

"Keefe, do you have any tattoos?"

"Yes, one on my right arm, why?"

"What were you doing in Russia?" she asked cocking her head to the left. Keefe opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by gunshots.

"Keefe, get do-!" Lisa never got to finish her sentence because at that moment Keefe fell backwards with blood dripping down his chest.

"Keefe! Keefe, stay with me, okay," she bent down next to him as his body began to go limp.

"Lisa, I'm so sorry," he said before his eyes rolled back in his head and he went completely limp.

"Dang it! We have to find Ripner's boss and stop this!" Mika shouted after pronouncing Keefe dead.

"I think I already have," Lisa said looking up at Mike then back to Keefe.

"Who is it?"

"I think it's……." she let her sentence hang in the air as she rolled up Keefe right sleeve. Her heart began to pound as she prayed that she wouldn't find what she was almost certain that she would.

"Keefe," she finished her sentence because staring back at her was a cross being engulfed by flames.
