"Where's Connie?" Adam asked looking around.
"Oh no" Fulton exclaimed. He'd sensed something wasn't quite right with Connie earlier but when she started smiling and laughing with them put him at ease.
"I'll try at home" Portman said
"I'll try Goldberg's" Fulton suggested
"We'll try the lake" Adam piped up.
"Alright if we don't find her in an hour meet back here okay?" Fulton instructed.
He was fearing the worst.
"Lets go" Portman said already running out of the door.
"Goldberg! Is Connie here?" Fulton asked breathless.
"No why what's happened?" Goldberg saw Fulton's face fall.
"I don't know one minute she was laughing with us at Mickeys, then stupid Rebecca came in and her and Portman had this huge fight and the next thing we know Connie's gone" he explained.
"Hang on Fult, I'll grab my keys, we can take my car" Goldberg suggested. He knew searching by car would be quicker than on foot.
"Thanks man, Portman's checking the house and Julie and Adam are checking the lake" Fulton explained.
"I'm coming too" Averman put his playstation controller down and leapt off the couch.
"And me!" Charlie also sprinted to the door.
"Alright, lets go" Goldberg ordered.

Fulton thought of other places she might go, he tried the Casey Conway's apartment and got a very concerned looking Mike (Casey's husband)
"No Fulton she hasn't been here" he said before adding "If she comes here though I'll call you"
Next he thought of Tammy Duncan's house. He was a bit apprehensive of going there, Tammy still wasn't speaking to him after their break up.
"I'm not letting you in here again" Tammy scolded him appalled that he would even consider coming to her house.
"Oh for Christ sake Tam, Connie's missing. We need to find her now!" Fulton had shot back.
Tammy's face dropped. "What" she almost screamed. Connie had been her friend since pee wees.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Portman had encountered Rebecca on the way back to the house
"Oh so you're just going to ignore me then are you?" Rebecca snapped.
"No, Connie's missing, we're worried about her. Have you seen her?" Portman asked desperately.
Rebecca scoffed "She's fine Dean, she was heading the way of Guy's memorial at the bridge" she supplied.
"Oh my god" Portman exclaimed realizing what Connie was about to do as he grabbed his cell from his pocket and dialed Fulton.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Right we'll be there" Fulton said snapping his phone shut. "She's gone to Guy's memorial. Call Adam and Julie, they'd be the closest" Fulton said to Goldberg before taking off on foot.
Goldberg practically pushed Averman into the car, "Averman, ring Adam or Julie and tell him Connie's at Guy's memorial, we'll meet them there" Goldberg said stepping on the accelerator and almost cutting off a shiny black BMW.
"Get outta the way its an emergency!" Goldberg yelled out the window as the driver flipped him the finger.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"She's what? Oh no are you sure Averman?" Adam exclaimed. "Okay see you there" he hung up the phone and started running
"C'mon Jules she's up at the bridge" he yelled. That was all it took for Julie to start sprinting at full speed. She easily kept up with Adam.

Connie looked down at the water below, crashing against the rocks. Tears were streaming down her face. She could feel Guy's presence there with her. It held no restraint as to what she was thinking. She looked back and remembered the good times she had with her one true love.
The first time they met when he rescued her from the bullies of the Hawks in pee wees, the first kiss after they won the championship game, her 21st birthday when he'd asked her to marry him and then it cut to the look of hatred on his face when he saw his mother at their wedding.
"I'M SO SORRY GUY, ITS ALL MY FAULT" she cried into the wind as she felt herself being drawn closer to the edge.
No Cons its not your fault the wind seemed to whisper to her.
She smiled, she knew it was Noah. He was there with her. She needed to be with him too.
"I love you" she whispered, before turning back to the lights of Minneapolis.
"I'm so sorry everyone, please forgive me, I love you all".
She didn't see Julie and Adam approach from her right, Fulton and Portman from her left and Averman, Charlie and Goldberg directly in front of her.
They all saw the smile on her face as she turned back and allowed herself to be swept off the bridge
"Connie! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Julie's cries were heard.
All seven people rushed to the railing and prayed she would be okay.
In a way she was, as she was falling, Guy was there. He scooped her up and carried her away with him towards the sun. She felt no pain as her body hit the rocky waters below.
"I love you so much" Connie whispered as she snuggled into Guy's arms.
"I love you too" Guy replied holding his bride close. They were together at last.
