It's alright Ma'am. (Kelly's phone rings) Kelly, yes Sir. I'm sorry to call you by this time of the day, but I couldn't wait any longer. I know you travelled this weekend to go see your parents and Mondays are usually your days off, but do you mind coming in on Monday? We have a case of a missing person that came in yesterday.

I swallowed hard, my voice breaking. "I said I probably fell asleep around 10 PM. I never said I was sure. My head was spinning from the altitude, and I wasn't clear. And come on—I'm just one woman. How the heck could I take out five grown men?" Alex's stare locked onto my face. "Yeah… doesn't seem likely." Just then, the coroner walked in with a fresh report, the pages still smelling like ink. He handed it straight to Alex.

The General watches all this on his horse as he strokes the silver stubble beard on his face. “Death has come to you, Bloodsucker.” His voice confirms my doom. I didn’t think at first that I could actually die from Jack’s plan, but what if he tricked me? What if his plan all along was so that I could be delivered into the hands of General Ross? Jack is a deceptive alpha, and I think I have just fell prey to one of his many deceits. My strength is fleeting, and fear is filling up my heart. Is this how I am going to die?

While the other dragged Zack's left foot to the lake's dock through the back door. Zack fights to breathe while crawling to resist his grandmother from dragging him down the lake with both hands. When he was wailing on the floor over Jackie's lifeless body, numbness struck his foot when he didn't realize Debbie had shot him.

Independence Day, 9 PM “Alright, thank you, bro. Be extra careful.” Jack hangs up the phone. “They are at the last stage of airplane delivery,” Jack says, shifting from one foot to another. He looks a bit nervous for a veteran and an ex-mafia member who has seen blood and death first-hand.

The drug dealer and his men were sentenced to death for their crimes, while Madison received a life sentence for hiring a hitman. Officer Wright filled Zack in on everything, and passed him the tapes they found at the drug den. They contained footage of the drug dealers torturing and humiliating me. I stayed by Zack's side as he watched every single tape. By the end, he had completely lost it. He was no longer the heroic forensic pathologist everyone admired. Instead, he turned into a disheveled maniac, wandering around asking everyone if they'd seen his younger sister. I stayed by Zack's side, until he was hit by a speeding car and died.
