Gerard got trang chủ from his work. He hung his áo, áo khoác on the rack and walked into the sitting room. He saw Zoey sitting in the couch, nghề viết văn something.
“Eh, what are bạn doing here?” he asked and Zoey looked up.
“I’m nghề viết văn a goodbye letter” Zoey smiled.
“For me?” Gerard asked cynical. Zoey stood up and walked to her ex-husband.
“No, not for you” she shook her head. “From you” She touched his forehead with her index and middle finger and Gerard fell unconscious.
As if he was a feather she carried him upstairs and put him on a chair. She took the rope which she had kept in the room as a preparation and winded it tightly around Gerard’s neck. The other end she tied to the chandelier. She pulled the chair away and a một giây later she heard a snap.

Meg looked around the police station. So that was why no one was answering her calls for help. They were all dead. There were bodies everywhere and their insides were torn out. The floor was covered in blood.
“Meg”
Meg looked up. Daphne had entered the building. She stared shocked at the bodies.
“You killed all those people” she đã đưa ý kiến trembling. It wasn’t a question, but an observation. “You’re going to hurt thêm people. I can’t let bạn do that”
“You can’t handle me. I’m too strong for your” Meg said. She walked towards Daphne and passed her. If she was going to try something Meg could easily take her down.
However, as she passed by, Daphne jumped phía trước, chuyển tiếp and stabbed Meg in her neck with a syringe, containing a red substance.
“Aaaahhh!” Meg gasped and she touched her neck. “What the hell are bạn doing?”
But Daphne had left the building and ran for her life.

“I went to the phòng bếp, nhà bếp and when I came back Mr. Allen, as he presented himself, had his hands all over my son. I…I think he was taking advantage of my son’s weakness”
“Objection!” Craig said. “I think everyone in lâu đài Rock knows about my client’s special abilities? Castiel can heal people with his bare hands, which is why Mrs. Jones had him come over in the first place. But to do his job he needs to touch his patient. He doesn’t even charge them”
“Of course he wouldn’t” Evan Trumble, Daphne’s attorney, said. “That’s because he knows that what he’s doing is wrong”
While Craig and Evan where quibbling, Cas looked sharp at Mrs. Jones.
“I never touched your son and bạn know it. I saved your son and this is not the right way to thank me”
Mrs. Jones seemed to cringe and looked around to find support hoặc a way out.

The tiếp theo morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? bạn almost gave mommy a tim, trái tim attack” Zoey đã đưa ý kiến and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia đã đưa ý kiến breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the ti vi and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four năm old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey đã đưa ý kiến trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia đã đưa ý kiến confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.
