Restarting life

Maybe there was no accident

One week later Jill and Marty were in the library to search for old articles. 

"When did it happen?" Marty asked. 

"Uh Dad said in 1978, October I think" 

"Okay and it was a car accident right?"

"Yes indeed" 

"Okay....these are all articles from accidents in 1978"

Jill locked surprised. 

"Damn .... there are probably 200 articles."

"Yeah..Most people were on drugs these days and they were driving, too...so that's the answer"

"Or drunk...."

"oooor drunk, yes" 

"....Damn there was a woman who stabbed her husband because he sold her favourite book" 

"...She probably really liked that book"

"I would probably kill you, too If you would eat the last piece of pizza" She smiled devilish and then giggled as Marty kissed her. 

"I can't find anything!!" Jill screamed frustrated.

"Shhhhht!!!" The library lady said.

"Well.....maybe we can't find anything because there was no accident...."

"But dad said there was a dead man there...."

"Then let's see the obituaries. If there was a corpse then they have written a obituary"

"hey you're smarter than I thought Marty" She grinned. 

"yes don't mess with mighty Marty" he said proud, she just giggled and shook her head. 

Meanwhile:

Stevie and Dave were out for lunch at a fancy restaurant.

"You look so gorgeous Stephanie" Dave kissed her hand.

"Thank you, Dave" she blushed and smiled.

"I'm glad we've found each other again I really am" 

"Yes..uh...me, too" 

"Are you okay?"

"Yes sure" She smiled. "I was just thinking"

"Tell me, honey"

"Oh it's nothing....I'm kind of sad because of the fight I had with Jill..."

"Don't be, honey. And speaking of Jill I thought of ways to educate her better"

"Aha...." Stevie ate her salad. "I think she's well-educated"

"Oh she is..Honey don't understand that wrong, she is, but I want her to show you more respect. You're her mother and not her best friend" 

"...you're right......probably...."

"Excuse me for a while" He stood up.

"Of course"

Jill and Marty were searching for the obituaries.

"I can't find anything....."

"Me neither.."

"Maybe we should drive to that place there and search for the owner. Maybe he knows something."

"I mean we could at least try it"

"I think we have no other choice" 

"Yeah...I'm starting to think that Carol Ann has a secret instead of your dad"

"I hope so. I would love to kick her ass" She laughed.

"We will find a way Jill"

They went to the car. 

"But before we go..." Marty tickled her and Jill laughed.

"Nohohooooo! Stop" 

"Nah you were mean to me"

"I'm behaving, I'm behaviiiing!" 

"Hmmm....I would stop for a kiss" 

She rolled her eyes and kissed him long.

"I love you"

"I love you, too"

At Lindsey's house:

Carol was outside in the pool while Lindsey played guitar.

He started to play Stephanie  and remebered the old BuckinghamNicks days.

How I wish that you were here baby......I hope you'll forgive me...I'm such an idiot....

After he played the song he stood up and went to the pool.

"Hey Lindseeeey" Carol smiled.

"Hmpf" He tried to ignore her.

"I thought of baby names"

"Interesting" 

"What about Jim or Anna"

"Uh-hu, nice"

"And we'll use Jill's room for the nursery"

"Woah Woah one moment, no it's Jill's room and it'll stay Jill's"

"I don't think so. She won't need it" 

"Why are you doing this to me Carol?"

"I just love to see you suffering. I really love you and you don't see it!" 

"You're one crazy bitch Carol!"

"Thank you" She grinned. "By the way did you went to a lawyer for full custidy?"

"No...."

"Oh you bad, bad boy. You should do it now huh? Don't you think? I mean I could also go to the police If you-"

"No!...I'll do it......"

"Great" She smiled sweetly. "I love youuuu"

"And I hate you!"

With that he went away. Carol laughed an picked up the telefone.

"Hey"

"Hey Carol"

"Did you made it?"

"Not yet....but I nearly convinced her"

"Okay great. Just tell her the things I told you, be sweet to her and show her the pictures"

"I'll do it"

"Good boy you're the best big brother ever" she giggled. "Soon that little brat will be on the other side of the world and she can't bother my plans anymore. And her mother will be your little puppy"

"Alright Carol. I have to go now"

"Okay bye"

"bye"

He hung up and smiled as he went back to the table. 

"Is everything okay Dave?"

"Of course, honey. Of course" He smiled as he stroke her hand.
