So Long and Goodnight.
Prolouge
I look down at the body in my arms. I tried so hard to keep this from happening. Where did I go wrong? How did they get to her? I did everything. I took care of every minor detail. I even missed most of her childhood to keep her safe. I don't know where I went wrong.
I run my dirty hand through her soft hair and pull her face close to mine. Oh so gently, I kiss her forehead. My baby is gone. There is nothing I can do anymore. She is gone.
I don't bother to be strong anymore. I let it all go, everything that I had bottled up.
The sounds of voices reminds me where I am, and I stand up shakily, with her still in my arms. John Paul looks over to me. He sees the body in my hands and understands. He understands that I have to do one last thing. "Go. I'll cover for you."
I run over to the church and slam the door closed. I have to do this fast. I pull out the card and swipe it through the door. I step in and see Michele right away. Michele looks at her lying in my arms. "I'm sorry Gerard. She's gone."
That's the last thing I hear. I don't her Lindsay or Bandit talking to me, taking her out of my arms. I don't hear Frank or Ray trying to comfort me.I don't hear anything, except for silence.
