Conclusion

Leena was driving Kate's SUV, smiling pleasantly. She looked up and turned the mirror so she could see her new beautiful little daughter. Max was quietly crying. She looked up at Leena's eyes in the mirror. Leena started at her. Max's crying ceased and she hiccupped a little. Leena smiled at her pleasantly and chuckled. She could've just eaten her up how adorable she was.

"I know this'll take a while to get used to," Leena told her, "But I'll do my best. You're my daughter now, Max. I love you." Max stared at her, sniffling and wiping her eyes off. "Y'know, this is so exciting," Leena continued, "I've always wanted my own daughter. We should celebrate. Get out of this place and get something to eat. Maybe some hot tea. I'll take great care of you, Max." She stopped at a red light and looked back her. "You're a good little kid," Leena said, "You make me feel happy. Call me mommy." Max sat there for a moment, the both of them staring at one another. Max finally signed it and Leena's smiled happily at her. "Oh Max!" Leena said, "Thank you! Oh honey, I'm so sorry about Kate. She's in heaven with daddy now. They're free from pain, Max. And mommy's a beautiful angel. Her and daddy are happy. Don't be sad, Max."

As the car started moving, Leena handed her the gift bag Alan bought for Tony. "For my ray of sunshine," Leena said. Max took it and looked down at it, and made a noise. "It's for you, Max," Leena continued, "I thought of you when I bought it." Max stared at it and looked back as she watched familiar streets and buildings pass by. She now knew all they had now was each other. Esther now made her an orphan. They were leaving this place behind, never to return to it again.

As Leena passed another set of lights, she spotted 2 cop cruisers sitting with their front bumpers together. 2 cops were standing against the cruisers, talking on their radios with their backs to her SUV. She smiled when she seen them both not notice her. She switched off the headlights and slowly pulled towards them. They didn't budge. She smiled and floored it, speeding right at them. They slowly turned around and stared at the dark road, hearing her SUV. She then switched on the headlights when she was within 3 feet of them but it was too late. They were 2 deer in the headlights.

Her SUV collided with their bodies, smashing them into the parked cruisers. Their torn off body parts scattered about the road, blood spraying in every direction. The cars parted by the impact and she sped through them. She punched on the windshield wipers, getting the blood off. As she looked back at the town knowing that she was now leaving the city limits, she took a deep breath of relief and smiled back at Max. Max screamed with her eyes closed and her hands over her ears. Her bottom lip hung and started quivering. Leena smiled and looked back at the darkened road and laughed in victory. Max started crying again, but ceased a little when Leena started to sing her "The Glory of Love."

Mother and Daughter, Big Sister and Little Sister…It didn't matter to her.

All they had was each other.

That's The Story of, That's The Glory of Love.
