The Cabin In The Woods

chapter twenty-eight/epilogue

Leo received a new pair of clothes and a hot shower along with a full breakfast. Zachary refused to speak to Sawyer, no matter how much Sawyer tried Zachary ignored him. Until Sawyer finally dragged Zachary upstairs and forced him to listen whether Zachary wanted to or not. Sawyer couldn't stand being ignored by his best friend anymore, he had to explain.

"When Pheobe and I went on that date, you and her were having a fight and she needed someone to talk to. I offered to take her out for breakfast, we didn't even consider it a date. More like a hangout. I swear, I'd never do that to you." Sawyer spoke quickly but never stuttered once. He wasn't lying, the truth was all there and Jacelyn had just twisted it.

"If it was just a hangout why didn't you just tell me that?" Zachary folded his arms over his chest and cleared his throat waiting for the answer.

"We were afraid you'd get mad and hate both of us." Sawyer waved his hands around for emphasis. "All of this happened when your father was sick so you were all focused on him and we didn't want you to take your attention away from your father."

"I guess that makes since." Zachary mumbles finally giving in to the anger and let his arms fall to his side.

"So are we cool?" Sawyer asks, a smile making its way into his mouth.

"Yeah, I guess so." Zachary shrugged. "You're an idiot SawZaw." Zachary says with the corners of his mouth twitching into a smile.

"I know." Sawyer laughs and the two join Leo and Sawyer's parents at the dinner table.

A few days later a man knocked on the front door of the house and asked to see Zachary. The whole town knew Zachary had been adopted by the Mcminn family so at first they assumed it was someone coming to pay their respects for his mother and Jacelyn. The man was tall, buff, and overall scary looking. He even wore a suit that made him look quite professional. He introduced himself as Mr. Rob Kenny and asked if he could come inside to discuss something with Zachary.

"Did your parents ever tell you about their will?" Mr. Kenny asks Zachary. Zachary glanced at Sawyer before replying.

"No, I didn't even know they wrote one." Zachary cleared his throat and moved closer to Mr. Kenny, wager to hear what was written in their will.

"Well, your father's will states that you receive half of his fortune and your sister gets the other half but since your sister is...deceased that means you recieve it all." Mr. Kenny says watching Zachary try to hold back his grin.

"Wait, fortune?" Zachary asks, Mr. Kenny cleared his throat.

"Yes, your father was a very rich man." Mr. Kenny says, "He kept his fortune responsibly so that he could give you and your sister something to live off of."

"How much does his fortune contain exactly?" Zachary asks still trying to fight the urge to burst out into joyful cries. He was going to be rich.

"A few billion. He even had a boat in your name." Mr. Kenny says now smiling too.

"I'm gonna be rich?" Zachary says in disbelief.

"You are, I just need your signature and we can set you up a bank account then the money is all yours." Mr. Kenny says.

"I already know exactly what I'm going to do with this!" Zachary exclaims excitedly patting Sawyer's shoulder. Zachary wanted to do so much, go to new places, and now he could. Screw using money responsibly, he was a billionaire.
