I was totally confident that, my own attendance notwithstanding, I would not be a legatee because he knew very well that I thought his most endearing ...uality was that he was an accomplished asshole. What's more, I told him as much on more than one occasion. I'm not anywhere close to wealthy but I certainly didn't have any designs on his personal holdings. I'd never be able to not think of all the people he'd conned, robbed and trodden underfoot through the years it took him to accumulate. When I know something I will decide if I want them fucking up my crime scene." I said angrily."What's going on?" I asked the day shift deputy who should have been first on the scene."Some Guy is holding a classroom full of kids hostage. He say he want to talk to you." the Deputy said."Now who the hell wants to talk to me so bad that he will take hostages," I wondered out loud. "Do we have an ID on him?" Fugitive named Tommy Kilborn. He is a well dressed guy, to well dressed to be doing this.. They all came to me again. Not like an image. No, not like that at all. Too clear. Too poignant.It was as if I was living them again briefly. I could feel my lips move, my body react. I could smell smells. Feel feelings. They went by.I was ten.

I could feel the door vibrate as he yelled and. Change it."The perplexed look on Chris's face deepened."I don't expect you to really understand, because you're not a woman. But, I have a life growing inside me and that's special. I always wanted a brother or sister for you, but careers and life in general got in the way. Now I have a second chance and if the baby is yours... well, that's not so bad. Do you understand?" I guess. What I'm sure of is that I love you more than anything in this world. I never thought I could feel this way about.
