Violet (VO) My best friend, Christine Avery, is no longer herself. She's gone down a dark path and my hope for her to come back to herself has been lost. It's like Eleanor Reese all over again.

SPECIAL AGENT OPS FIELD
OFFICEThe next day, I'm sitting on the three seat sofa, gently fiddling with Christine Avery's lanyard special agent badge in my hands.
Mrs. Maggie Pollard-Hudson gently walks down the stairs and into the main room. She looks at me as she slowly walks up to me and sits down beside me on the three seat sofa."Christine's not gonna need this anymore." I said to Maggie.
Maggie gently takes Christine Avery's lanyard special agent badge in her hands.
"Will you be okay?" Maggie asked me.
I look at Maggie with a worried look on my face. "Maybe, maybe not."
"Don't do that." Maggie said to me.
"Do what?" I asked.
"Worry yourself." Maggie said to me. "It's all over your face, V."
"I didn't want this to happen. Not to Christine Avery. She's a good person, Maggie." I said to Maggie.
"Even a good person has a darkness within them, Violet." Maggie said to me.
Maggie and I exchange looks at each other. And she gets up and slowly walks away.
Violet (VO) I knew Maggie had a point when she said that. " 'Even a good person has a darkness within them.' " I should know. I'm a good person myself.

HARPER HOME
Using the spare key, I opens the door and slowly walks inside with Scooby Beagle.
"Jonny?" I said. "Are you home?"
"Yeah, I'm home." Jonny said, gently walks down the stairs and into the living room. And looks at Scooby Beagle. "Hey, Scooby Beagle."
"I got something for you." I said, gently pulling out a glitter globe with the name "Jonny" inside of it and hands it to him. "For you."
"Thanks." Jonny said.
"And plus, it glows in the dark." I said to him.
"Thanks, Violet. I like it." Jonny said to me with a small smile. "Has Christine Avery phone contacted you?"
"Not really no, and to be honest, I don't want her too." I said to Jonny. "I can't believe this is happening. Christine Avery."
"I know." Jonny said. "It's like Eleanor Reese has been reincarnated in her twin sister, Christine Avery."
