Xavier lie on his bed for almost thirty minutes in tears before he realized that Mal didn't know that Gena was gone. He was the only one that knew unless Gena's younger brothers had found her. Xavier sincerely hoped they hadn't. No child needs the trauma of walking into the bathroom to find their older sister bled to death in the tub. Xavier picked up his phone and pressed call.
Mal answered her phone after a ring or two. She could hear Xavier sobbing and sniffling on the other end of the line. What he told the woman shattered her heart. "She's gone Mal. Don't let the boys into the upstairs bathroom."
Mal dropped her phone on the floor and curled up next to it to sob. She drove home as fast as she could, only to sprint upstairs and find her only baby girl cold as ice in the porcelain bath. She held her firstborn in her arms for the last time before calling the police to take her baby away to the coroner.
Mal slouched and sobbed, holding her two young sons and her husband in her arms. Gena's adoptive father hadn't yet received the news but he sobbed just as hard as anyone upon hearing it from his wife.
With eighty miles between them, Xavier and all of Gena's family wept in harmony for their loss.
