Epilogue
Megan stood in the police station of Honore waiting for her uncle to return from a routine pick up to take her to the airport. It was the end of her holiday and she was returning alone. Up in court her brother had been found guilty of Alice's murder while Theo had been found guilty of soliciting a murder and thus was sentenced with attempted murder. Likewise Felix was also charged with attempted murder for creating and using formaldehyde. Megan on the other hand been found not guilty for even assisting with a suicide. Due to her blindness the judge had ruled that Megan had taken the necessary precautions by asking Alice how many pills she had and could not be blamed for her taken more than the recommended amount.
Megan was relieved in some respects but upset in others. Her family was all in prison for life. She wouldn't get to see them again… unless…
"Uncle H. Finally," Megan said as they walked in.
"I am sorry Megan," Humphrey said. "Anyway what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"I never told you what uni I got into. And I want to. You see I got offered a place at the Saint Marie university to study forensic and marine biology. Here. On Saint Marie. On one condition," Megan explained. "that I undergo an eye operation and have full vision in at least one eye by September," Megan added.
"Wait, so you're staying?" Humphrey asked.
"Not really. I've got to go home for the op. But if it all goes well, I'll be back for term. Do you reckon I could stay with you?" Megan asked.
Humphrey stared at his niece for a while. "Of course. I'd love the company. Let's hope it all goes well and you'll be able to see again. I won't have to describe the beauty again," he joked. Megan chuckled. "Come on. Let's get you to the airport. Or you're mum will kill me for not sending back one of her kids." Megan laughed again.
"You'll visit them, won't you? While I'm not here. I'll do it when I get back but…" she trailed off. Humphrey nodded.
"They're my family too," Humphrey said. "I will always visit them." Megan smiled and got into the jeep so they could head to the airport.
