Bret was sitting at a table inside the palace ballroom. A week had flown by and they had the memorial service for Shawn earlier that day. It was a good one. The pastor and everyone who spoke said some very nice things and they sung some of Shawn's favorite hymns. It was a great service. Now, they were having the repast at the palace.

Playing the part of the grieving husband wasn't that hard since Bret really did miss Shawn and wanted him to be by his side, but knowing that Shawn was alive and out there somewhere kept him going. Bret sighed and stood up. As soon as he stood up, a group of people came over offering their sympathy. Bret accepted it and watched as they walked away. He was getting tired of all of this so he slipped outside and into the garden, where it all started for him and Shawn.

Bret sat down on the fountain and looked around. He was so mad with himself. He hadn't found any clues or anything out, other than deciphering the DVD. He tried to tell himself to be patience but he couldn't be. He wanted Shawn to be back where he belonged, in his arms, but good things come to those who wait.

"Hey Bret." Bret looked up and held back the eye roll as he looked at Sunny. Bret stood up.

"Hey." He said sadly. It broke Sunny's heart to see Bret this sad but he wouldn't be sad for much longer. She would make it all better.

"I know you don't think to much of me and I know you probably thing I'm bullshitting you but I am really sorry for your lost." Sunny said and put on her innocent face.

"Yeah, thanks." Bret said but he didn't believe it for one minute.

"I mean no one deserves to die like that, I mean a bullet through the head. It's horrible."

Bret had to look up and make sure that the light bulb that just went off in his head wasn't shining to bright. Bret wrapped his arms around Sunny's waist and hugged her. Sunny was a little taken back by this but embraced him.

"Thanks Sunny for everything. I know I can count on you." Bret said broke the embrace.

"That's what friends are for." Sunny said. "I have to go now, Stephanie is leaving, talk to you later." Sunny said and left.

Bret went back into the ballroom and saw Hunter and Brian ushering people out of the door along with some of the servants.

"Brian, Hunter." Brian and Hunter looked over at Bret and he waved his hand, telling them to come over to him. They moved away from the door and went over to Bret.

"What's up?" Hunter asked.

"Did you tell Stephanie how Shawn died?" Bret asked.

"No, why?"

"Because Sunny knew exactly how Shawn died."

"…That bitch." Brian cursed as it dawned on him. "She's been doing all of this."

"We can't jump to conclusions but she has to be playing some type of part in this." Hunter said.

"Yeah, she's not in this one along. She probably has some of her cronies working for her." Bret said with a scowl on his face. "I need to find hard evidence though, damn it."

"Look, I'm going to get all of these people out of here." Hunter started.

"I'll take Bret upstairs, make it look like I'm helping the grieving husband, then I'll come back down and help you." Brian finished.

"Then we talk." Bret added before Brian grabbed his arm and helped him upstairs. Hunter went back over to the group of people and saw them out.

Once Brian put Bret in his room, he left and shut the door behind him and started for the stairs. Sunny should be glad that he's pregnant because if he wasn't he would have beat her ass. Brian couldn't believe she was this crazy. She really needed help.

Brian placed his hand on the staircase railing and was about to go down the steps when he heard a voice from behind him.

"You should have been with me…I loved you."

"Wha-." Before Brian could ask his question and turn around, he felt to hands on his shoulders and those hands gave him a strong and ruff push down the stairs.

Hunter finally got all of the people out his home. Now, he could talk with Bret and his husband about a plan. He couldn't wait until all of this was over and life was back to normal. Hunter turned the corner and went to walk up the stairs but stopped when he saw what lay in front of him.

"BRIAN!" Hunter screamed and knelled next to him. Brian lay at the bottom of the step in a distorted position. Hunter scooped him up in his arms and when he did he saw blood in the spot where his head was. Hunter touched the back of Brian's head and looked in his hand. It was covered in blood.

Hunter screamed so loud that Bret heard him. Bret rushed out of his room and to the top of the stairs. He looked down and saw the chaos. He ran down the steps and looked at Brian. He was bleeding pretty bad from his head. Bret looked at his friend and saw that he was in severe shock. Hunter held Brian in his arms but he couldn't move.

Bret grabbed Brian and held him in his arms and stood up. He kicked Hunter on his thigh, Hunter looked up.

"Come on, we have to get Brian to Randy." Bret said and ran down the hall. Hunter followed, still looking at the blood him his hands.

His husband's blood.
