PLEASE go and reread chapter 15. I don't know how I managed to post my first draft of that chapter but I did. So please tell me what you think of that.

Okay so...here is the final chapter of my story. I decided to write an epilogue. I hope everyone likes it. The poem The Key to Your Heart was written by me...so please don't butcher it. I also have a quote from Passport to Danger...in this chapter. Can you find it?

Epilogue:

4 years later:

Frank Hardy was sitting on the sofa with Callie. They had just purchased the home together and were working on opening there wedding gifts. Callie had torn open the gift from Frank's brother and Frank wasn't surprised to find a new DVD player inside. His parents had purchased a new TV for them. Their furniture had just arrived just hours ago. The whole gang was helping them put things away. Joe and Vanessa were helping them open there gifts. Well Vanessa was writing down who they were from. Joe was watching. Callie smiled at him. "Thanks Joe! This is awesome!."

"Anytime..." He then handed a box to Frank. It had arrived via UPS that morning. All it had on it was an address that Frank recognized but couldn't place. He opened the brown box and pulled out a nicely wrapped white box. He shrugged and ripped the paper. He handed the paper to Callie and opened the box. Inside the box was packing noodles, a beautiful white and blue vase, a bottle of champagne, and four champagne flutes.

Vanessa gushed..."OH that vase is so beautiful...I know that came from Japan. I just went there with mom last Christmas...who's it from?"

Frank opened the card and read out loud:

The Key to your Heart

Your heart is a muscle;

It beats fast or steady

But what you rarely find is:

A key to your heart.

Your family is your strength,

And will live on forever in you.

They love you and are:

A key to your heart.

Mysteries and intrigue,

Are a part of your soul.

Seeking justice is:

A key to your heart.

True love is hard to find,

When you do it burns forever.

Love her always as:

A key to your heart.

Friends are friends forever.

Through the good times and the bad,

Even when you cannot see us, we're there as:

A key to your heart.

Remember these things,

Forevermore.

Remember to trust and love is:

A key to your heart.

"That is beautiful." Callie said enthusiastically. "Who's it from?"

Frank read the bottom of the card and handed it to Joe swallowing the lump in his throat. Joe read the bottom. "And a toast..." Joe eyed the champagne and glasses. He took them out of the box and opened the bubbly champagne. He poured four glasses. Biff Hooper came in and saw the champagne. Callie stood up and grabbed 4 more champagne flutes she handed one to Biff, Chet, Tony, and Phil. Vanessa read the rest of the card. She smiled, "Here's to spending time with friends."

Eight glasses clinked and they all said, "To friends."

Callie was looking between Frank and Joe wondering what they were thinking about. It was obviously a far away place. Callie took her husband's hand and whispered. "Are you alright?"

Frank met Joe's eyes but answered his wife. "I'm fine darling." He kissed her avidly. "Just fine."
