Chapter 7
JR paced nervously in his cell. His lawyer was trying to work out a deal where he would be free one day. But everyone knew he was going to prison, it was just a question of numbers at this point. Then his visitor came. It was Babe. Krystal brought her in and pushed the wheelchair. JR could barely believe his eyes. It was true, she was really back.
My God, you're really here. I was too afraid to believe it.
Yeah, I'm back. And I know everything. You killed my father, you tried to kill my sister.
My lawyer doesn't want me to talk about that.
It doesn't matter. I came to tell you it's over. Technically we might still be married. If we are, I'm filing for divorce.
You have to understand, whatever I did was for our son. To protect him.
Shooting a gun into a crowd full of people, that protects AJ? Or were you so drunk you didn't know who you were shooting at?
I didn't want him raised by a couple of lesbians.
As oppossed to a drunk who murders innocent people when he doesn't get his way? And by the way those lesbians include my sister, who I almost never got a chance to meet because of you. And Bianca, she forgave both of us when neither of us had any reason to expect or right to ask for that forgiveness.
Let's be honest. Whatever happenned to your father he had coming. I hope he's burning in hell right now.
Actually I saw him, up there. My father is in heaven right now.
You've got to be kidding me. After all he did, he made it up there?
Yeah. For all his faults he was always dedicated to saving lives. When I decide AJ's ready, I'll bring him here to see you.
So he's back with you now?
Bianca and Marissa invited me to move in with them. We still have to work out some details but I promise you that our son will be surrounded by love. I thought you deserved to know that much. Goodbye JR.
