Conference

"Are you ready?" A man with a headset asked Jo. She, Mimi and Collins stood next to her parents waiting to go out to the news conference that was set up for them. Jo nodded to Mimi.

"Ready," Mimi answered for Jo.

"Okay, 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . go."

Everyone filed out into the conference room where many people waited with cameras flashing. They were all shouting, calling out to Jo, asking her inaudible questions. When Jo, the Bohos and Jo's parents took their seats, the room quieted down.

Finally, the first reporter asked a question. "Miss May, are you happy to finally be found after 10 years of being away from home?"

"No," Jo answered honestly, "I'm upset. I'm happy to see my family but I miss the lifestyle I had before everything happened."

"How do you feel about having your best friend kidnapped and forced to become addicted to a drug?" another reporter asked.

Jo became rigid and looked over to Collins.

"That question is upsetting seeing as Mark is currently going through severe withdrawal right now." He said, saving Jo from breaking down.

"How do you feel about the death of Ray Gutierrez?"

"Relieved," Jo answered. "He killed many teenage girls while he was alive."

"What happened while you were missing?"

"I traveled around and made base in San Francisco for 4 years before living in New York for 2."

"Do you remember what happened when you were kidnapped?"

"No, I was unconscious during the whole incident."

"What did you do when your best friend was kidnapped?"

"Um . . . I couldn't do anything for seven months so I waited. Then my friends and I went and found him. I didn't go with them to find Mark. Instead, I went looking for Ray Gutierrez and found him."

"What did you do?"

"I shot him out of self defense."

"How so?"

Jo hesitated, "He . . . walked around me and taunted me while aiming for my head."

"But you were wounded in the abdomen, correct?"

"Yes,"

"How did that happen?"

Jo took a shaky breath. Collins answered for her. "She pulled out her gun just as she was about to shoot. He shot her and she shot him. Her aim was better." He said, saving Jo from reliving her nightmare.

"Mrs. May, how do you feel having your daughter back?"

Margaret sighed, "Happy and relieved. I feel blessed to know my baby is safe."

"Miss May, what are you going to do now that you're out of hiding?"

Jo thought for a moment, "I'm going to live out my life with my friends," She said, "That's all I want to do."

The reporters continued to ask question while Jo continued to answer, occasionally getting help from Collins or Mimi.
