It's been a few hours now, it's dark outside. I'm standing near the side of the road when my phone buzzes, I see a call from Ace so I pick it up, "Hey" I say
"Hey, hold on. I'm merging you in" He says
"Are we all on the line?" Bess asks
"Yup" Nick says
"Still present" George says
"Not roadkill yet" I say
"Is everybody okay?" Nancy asks
"All good, just wanted some company while contemplating shuffling off our mortal coils" Ace says
"Does anyone besides Nancy have any loose ends they want to tie up?" Bess asks
"What kind of loose ends?" George asks
"I don't know, regrets, deathbed confessions" Bess says
"I confess...that I hacked into a federal database to get the phone number of somebody in witness protection" Ace says
"Who?" Bess asks
"Bess it's called witness protection" George says
"The person's still protected, I never called the number. I wasn't brave enough" He says
"Hey no judgement. But I do owe you an apology. I borrowed your pocketknife without asking" Bess says
"You took Madeline?" Ace asks
"And I took George's skull bracelet" She continues
"Yeah, I knew that" George says
"And your key fob Nick. I didn't take any of the keys, just the shiny bit. I have a problem, I steal things when I feel bad. And if we do live, I am going to try and stop that" She says
"Hey, here's my confession. I haven't done the one thing Tiffany wanted me to do. Use her USB drive to take down the Hudsons. And the truth is, I didn't want to put myself out there like some...some sacrificial lamb. I just wanted to rebuild my life, co-own a restaurant and be in love" He says
"You can't do it by yourself, you need someone on the inside" Ace says
"I also need Nancy's permission since she's technically a Hudson" Nick says
"Oh, well, permission granted, if that helps" Nancy says
"Skylar I'm sorry about what I said earlier, I didn't mean it. I was just frustrated and angry and—" He says rambling
"Nick, we're all good" I say
"George what about you?" Bess asks
"No regrets" She says
"Nancy's turn" George says
"Well, I regret ever hurting any of you. You trusted me when I made mistakes. And I never wanted anyone to get hurt" She says crying
"Hey, I believe you" Bess says
"Me too" Nick says
"Okay, Skylar any regrets?" Ace asks
"Umm, you know I've done some things in my life that I regret but, um...the one thing I regret the most...is not telling the one person I care about how I feel" I say
I take a breath, "Um...Nancy I put a letter in your coat pocket in case I don't make it" I say
"Blue?" She asks
"You don't have to read it now, I just needed a way to tell you in case..." I trail off
I take a deep breath, "...I love you Nancy Drew. I think I always have, ever since my first shift at the Claw. I know this is terrible timing, telling you over the phone with our friends listening in, as we fight for our lives but my one biggest regret is that I didn't have the courage to tell you sooner" I say
I hear Bess squeal on the other end of the phone, "Skylar, I—" Nancy starts to say
Then I hear Odette singing in French in the distance, "She's here" I whisper
