Remember that killer we caught a few months ago? The woman who killed her husband after he wanted a divorce, only to be killed when she tried to run? Her daughter committed suicide last Saturday. She was only twenty-three. I pointed it out to you in passing, it was in the paper. You probably don't remember. I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't tear yourself up after you find out I'm dead. I know you wouldn't do anything to that extreme, you're too sensible for that. But since I've been your partner for over a year now, I know you'll be thinking of all the things you could have done. The things you could have changed. But really, the answer is, nothing. It can't be helped, there was nothing you could have changed. So don't you dare even think that you could have stopped this, it's inevitable. I don't want you to go moping around after you find out why I left. You never cry, and as weird as it feels to write this, you have such a pretty smile. I like to see you smile, and I hope you're smiling while you read this. My purpose for writing this isn't to make you feel worse, it's to make you feel better.
-Mal
That's what Mal wrote in the middle of April, placing the book into a box on his counter. He knew it was unlikely he would take it out again until after he got to his sisters house. At first he couldn't believe he was going to die in a few months. Sure, he seemed to get sick more often, but other than that he was fine. It was only mid-April when it started to really show, when Mal was leaving for work. He slipped on his jacket, and found the shoulders were slightly to large for his frame. It was unnoticeable, but Mal knew the significance of it. It was his first brush with reality that he was going to die, that this was real. That the doctor wasn't lying. Mal had ignored the feeling of overwhelming dread this brought and left. It was that morning that Mal told Ken he might need to step in as Captain on a more permeate basis. Ken's eyes had narrowed in suspicion. He had also questioned Mal every time he couldn't come to work, even more so than the others since he had been the one who always filled in for him.
"Can I ask why?" He asked suspiciously.
"I'd prefer if you didn't".
After a tense moment Ken eased up, saying "Sounds good to me. Anything I should know?".
Then Mal had explained everything Ken needed to know, so when the day came, Mal could seamlessly disappear into the world.
Sorry this was so short. Okay, so I don't play Surviving high school (I tried it, I just don't like it that much), but anyone who does, is there anything important I need to know about Mal's sister? I know Demi is her daughter, but is Raven Demi's sister or what? Is his sister married? Divorced? Ect.? Is she ever seen, if so what does she look like? Is there anything else important I need to know? I played for a few months, but she was never mentioned. Help me out and you're awesome!
Thanks, A.
