Michael looked at the doctor, dumbfounded. What had Haver done to her?

"Sweetie, it's me. Michael."

Marcie pouted. "I don't wanna see you Michael. I only want Al! Please! I love him and he loves me!"

The doctor walked over to Michael, who was still in shock. "Well she's speaking, which is a really good sign."

Michael was overcome with anger. "No! It's not okay! Don't you see? She doesn't know who I am!"

"Do you know who this Al person is?" The doctor asked.

Michael's face fell. "Yeah." he said in a voice that was barely audible. Before the doctor could respond, Michael grabbed his coat and walked out the door.

Tears blurred his vision making it hard to drive. Somehow, he made it to Roxy's house. Silently he prayed that his mom would be home. He got out of his car and walked to the front door. He knocked softly. Almost instantly, the door opened.

"Hey, Roxy". Michael said. He looked away from her so that she wouldn't see he'd been crying.

"Michael, honey! Welcome to our humble home! Okay, well maybe it ain't so humble, but it's home anyway. Are you lookin' for Johnny? Cuz he ain't here. He and Nattie went

out on the town. Hot date you know." She studied her nails.

"Listen Roxy, if I could just see..."

"I told Johnny they should stay here and have a nice quiet romantic dinner, but do they listen? No. I don't like my Nattie being out while that psycho Music Box guy is still on the loose. He already tried to kill my Nattie and almost drowned your poor mother. I hope he runs out of music boxes soon." Roxy looked at Michael.

Michael shifted his weight from one foot to the other and cleared his throat.

"Oh!" Roxy exclaimed. "Please come in. I'm sure you're freezing. So who were you here to see?"

Normally Roxy wouldn't' bother Michael but today she was getting on his nerves. "My mom?" he answered, slightly exasperated.

"Oh right! I'm not used to having your 'mommy dearest' around here, although the company's been great. Let me get her."

Michael smiled and sat down.

"EVE!" Roxy yelled, causing Michel to cringe. "Your kid is here!"

"Thanks, Roxy." Michael said glumly.

"Any time, kid." Roxy replied as she walked into the kitchen.

Just then Eve came down the stairs. Michael stood to greet her with a hug and a kiss. "Oh Michael! I was just thinking about you!" She sat down on the sofa next to him.

"How is Marcie? I've been so awful about not visiting but with my schedule..."

Michael smiled. How lucky was he to have found a woman that his mom adores?

"Did you see the flowers I sent?" Eve asked.

Michael smiled again, thinking about the large bouquet of flowers. They were filled with every color imaginable. Marcie would love them.

"Yes, Mom. They're beautiful. I'm sure Marcie will love them."

"Will love them?" Eve asked.

Michael could only rub the back of his neck and look at the floor.

"Honey, what is it?" Eve paused then gasped, putting her hand on her chest. "Oh my... has something happened?"

"Yeah Mom, it has." Michael said.

Eve put her hand on his shoulder. "Well what is it? Is Marcie okay?"

Michael felt his throat go dry. "She's awake."

Eve broke out into a smile and threw her arms around Michael. "Oh my god! That's wonderful!"

Michael's response wasn't as enthusiastic as it should have been. Eve sat down. "There's something else, isn't there?"

Michael nodded.

"What is it? What happened?" Eve asked.

"She doesn't remember me. She wants to see Al."

Eve sat back on the sofa in shock. "Who's Al?"

Michael sighed. "He's the guy Marcie used to date. She was in love with him. He was the 'Voice of the Night' at the Llanview radio station. He died about six months ago. He and Marcie were soul mates. I was working the day that he died."

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry. You must be crushed." Eve touched Michael's hand.

"It's all my fault." Michael said. "I should have spent more time with her. I should have put her needs before mine. Now she doesn't even know who I am. I played that Simply Red CD thinking that she'd remember everything but instead I guess it triggered memories of Al."

"Michael, you can't blame yourself for what happened. It's not your fault. This is all Dr. Haver's doing. The man is a monster. I just can't believe he'd do something like this to Marcie and just leave her for dead right in the middle of the campus like that. He has to be stopped." Eve said.

Michael thought for a minute. Haver does need to be stopped. And he knew just how to do it.
