I stand next to mama at grandma's grave. She has flowers in one of her hands and with the other she is holding my hand. "I miss you so much, mom. Everything has been such a mess since we got back. It was supposed to be happily ever after. But after five and a half years, you can't just pick up where you left off. Everyone moved on. Except us. So now we start over. The government thinks we're criminals. Other people think we are angels, or saints...or guinea pigs to be experimented on. Innocent people are getting hurt. Jared almost died. What kind of cop am I if I can't protect the people that I love? What. kind of person am I...if I love a man who can't love me back? 'All good things.' What I would do to hear you say that one more time. I wouldn't say I don't believe you. I would say that I want to. Because there has got to be a reason this is happening to us. I don't know what it is. But I know one thing. I want my life back. For me and for Violet." Mama says putting the flowers down at her grave. "You protect me mama. You're the best mom ever." I say looking up at her and she smiles hugging me tightly and I hug her tight also. "I love you Vi." Mama whispers in my ear, "I love you too mama." I say and she lets go of the hug and holds out her hand and we walk away from the grave, I skip beside mama as we walk back home. We have our own apartment now and I have my own room again. I love it so much and I have new stuffed animals and toys. We get to the apartment and right as we walk in there is a huge crash and I tense up a bit. "Whoa! Hey! This is my apartment, remember? If anyone has dibs to trash it, it's me." Mama says and I let go of her hand and I go to my room and get BunBuns, and I hear mama and Uncle Ben yelling at each other. It always seems to be like that. Maybe that's what it's like to have a sister or brother. I am definitely happy I don't have a sister or brother. I walk out of my room and I walk into the living room. "Are you done yelling now?" I ask mama and she looks back at me and smiles at me sympathetically. "Yes we are done now. Do you want to go to a house near a beach?" Mama asks me and I smile and nod. I run to my room and I grab my back pack. "I can collect some new rocks. I need to start a new collection." I say to mama and she laughs a bit and we walk out the apartment and to the car. I get in and buckle into my booster seat and I buckle myself in. We start to drive and I look out the window at everything passing by. "Why are we going to a house near the beach?" I ask mama looking to the front of the car.

"You know the passengers who were missing. They are there and I am going to go check on them." Mama says right as we pull up to a really nice house. I look at it and I unbuckle myself and get out of the car and we walk in the front door. I run up the stairs and I look at all the people. They all looked zoned out. I look at one of them and it looks like there is nothing going on in their head. Mama and Saanvi talk for a bit before I have a calling. I am in this blizzard and there is snow everywhere, and it is freezing. I come out of it after a little bit and my hands are numb. I look down at them and my fingertips are turning black. My eyes go wide and I go to my backpack and take out a bucket. "Mama, I'm gonna go find some rocks." I say and I go to walk down the stairs. "Zipper up your jacket it's colder by the water." Mama says and I nod and run down the stairs and I go to the beach. I look around the sand staying close enough to the house that I can see it. I see people walking into the house. I think they are passengers, but I'm not sure. I keep collecting rocks until I hear my name being called. "Violet? Violet? It's time to go!" Mama yells towards me and I run back up the beach to the stairs to the house. My fingers aren't black anymore but they still feel weird. I get in my carseat and we drive away from the house. "What people are at the house?" I ask mama and she looks at me through the rearview mirror. "Just some other passengers." Mama says and I nod as we get to the police station and I get out of the car and skip beside mama walking inside. She goes to her desk and she starts to look some stuff up and mutters something to herself. "Right here, actually." Jared says walking up to mama, "not me you were looking for."
