The cool breeze at the beach in District 4 refreshed Carol. She couldn't stop inhaling the salty scent. She loved the district.

"If only I was born here." Carol told herself in a whispering voice.

The fish and shrimp caught by fishermen surprised Carol. Boy, did it look splendid.

"Hell there." A familiar voice from behind spoke.

"Oh," Carol immediately recognized the old woman. "hello Mags." Carolyn said in delight.

"I see we meet again." Mags smiled.

"I believe so." Carol grinned.

"How are you, Faye?" Mags asked.

"Fine, Magsy-Wagsy." Carol joked.

"That's great." Mags replied not amused with what Carolyn said. That made Carol stop laughing.

"Sorry Mags." Carol apologized.

"It's alright," Mags assured Carol. "that's what habits are after all."

"They can never end." Carol spoke finishing Mags' sentence.

"How do you do that?," Mags continued. "knowing what I was gonna say and finishing off my sentence?"

"Oh," Carol snorted a bit. "it's really simple actually. If you know them pretty well, then there you go."

"Got it." Mags said.

"Great!," Carol cheered. "but do you know where Annie is, Mags?"

"At Victor Village with her son, Marvin." Mags feedbacked.

"I wanna see Annie!," Announced Carol. "and Marvin, too!"

Mags chuckled. "Okay then, Carolyn Faye."

"Yes!" Carol beamed happily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Annie!" Carol yelled inside Annie's house to see if she and Marvin were there.

"Come here." Mags replied as she called Carol.

"What is it, Mags?" Carol confusedly asked.

"Just come here," Mags called out again. "I know where the two are."

"Coming!" Carol shouted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Annie," Carol worryingly said. "you okay?"

"Oh, yes." Annie said as she wiped her tears.

That made Carol come closer to Annie.

"No, you're not okay Anne." Carol said putting her right arm on one of her shoulder.

"Really," Annie assured Carol. "I am."

"You miss Finnick, don't you?" Carol spoke in a soft tone.

"Very." Annie said looking at the tombstone.

"Come on inside." Mags called out.

"Okay, Mags!" Shouted Carol.

"You can go on ahead." Whimpered Annie.

"No, you can go inside," Carolyn said smiling. "I'll be right there."

"You sure?" Asked Annie.

"Yes." Carolyn spoke.

The crew sure got this down. This was a special, friendly scene for the viewers. The documentary will turn out great.

With that, Annie headed to her house. Carol looked at the tombstone.

Time to use my "bringing-back-the-dead" powers, Carol thought.

Then Carol started using her powers. A few seconds later, she saw Finnick. Not like a zombie version of him, but a human version. Finnick snapped out at what just happened.

"Where am I?" Finnick questioned the blonde gal.

"District 4's Victor Village, silly." Carolyn giggled.

"Annie," Murmured Finnick. "where's Annie?" He asked quickly getting up.

"Inside that house." Said Carol pointing at a house two blocks away from Finnick's.

"Thank you!" Finnick shouted while running to Annie's house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Annie!" Finnick screamed at the top of his lungs when he opened the door. Shock faces were seen.

"Finnick?" Annie piped in while she was carrying her son, Marvin.

"Annie!" Finnick quickly went to Annie and Marvin then gave them a huge, tight hug.

"Finnick," Annie said mind blown. "how?"

"I don't know Anne, but, I'm alive!" Cried Finnick.

Just then, Carol entered the room.

"Say," Mags continued. "you wouldn't have anything to do with this, would you?"

"Nope," Carolyn said. "I just saw Finnick back and alive."

"Are you sure about this?" Mags asked suspiciously.

"Honest, Magsy." Carol assured the old lady.

"Okay." Mags replied unsure.

Mags winked at the camera. Her secret is officially revealed.
