"She's gone Bandit, the only one I ever loved. She's gone." "Ace hunny it's okay. For her sake she's better off dead then alive. Now Mikey will stop following us and maybe we can get back to normal." "Normal? When have we ever been normal! She was not a burden but a blessing and now I'll never see her again." Bandit put a hand on Ace's shoulder. "I'm sorry Ace, it's best we leave now I'll tell Mikey what happened." Bandit said helping her younger brother up. "Okay."

He was holding a glass of fine and in some fine clothes. "Ace what a pleasant surprise. You don't look so pleasant what happened?" Chris said pulling Ace in and shutting the door. He lead him to a upper room. "Ace you look upset what happened, is it Bandit?" "No it's Courtney she's dead." Chris froze and he started crying as he punched the wall. "How did this happen?" Chris yelled you could tell he was angry. "A man who's dead now shoved a knife in he head. She died instantly." "No, she was my only family. I loved her." Chris said sitting on the bed with his hands in his hair. "I lived her too Chris." Ace said sitting next to him. "I'll tell Sara!" Chris said getting up and walking out the door.
