Most of that time was spent sat in silence. Adam could barely stand to look at Peter, and Peter was too sore to want to move his swollen face. " So how exactly did it happen?" Adam asked as if he could care a less. " He started talking shit and then I went to punch him, and then he just went nuts on me. Like through me down to the floor and started pounding on my face." Peter said favoring one side of his mouth as he talked that was swollen and sore. " Well thank god!" Adam exclaimed. " Thank god that I'm ok or...?" Peter asked confused. " Thank god he did this to you. I would have scared your face for life." Adam said calmly. " Your joking right? And why would you take some guys side over your boyfriends? And why are we even talking about this we shouldn't be... Adam don't talk to that Chad guy anymore or we're over." " Peter. Quick question. Why do you think Chad hit you? He's a fairly rational guy. I'm sure he'd tell you why he was upset with you and then you'd probably act like a big shot and then it would turn nasty very fast. I know what your like now. It's enough to make a nun want to shoot you." Adam laughed. " Wow. You're being a real bitch." Peter spat. " I think given what you've done I'm entitled to it." Adam smiled. " And Peter I want to make this official right now that we're over and that when I leave this hospital you never talk to me again, and when I pass by you in a hallway at school you pass by like we've never even talked before. There's only about 4 months of school left till grad. And I'll spend the last 4 a loner if it means I don't have to talk or look at you! And I'm quitting the team. I'll play water polo when I start University. I'll play for a City team to stay sharp. I can't ... I cannot stand to look at you." Adam said controlling his urge to lash out. " You really do know about Blair and I?" Peter asked carefully. " Yes. And I've thought of so many ways to deal with it. But getting mad is not going to be an option. You just respect my wishes and leave me alone. We had some great times together ... But that's over and soon to be forgotten. I'm 19... You're not my life... I'll get over you and have even better relationships. The first guy never really works out anyways." Adam said his voice shaking. " Shit... I didn't know that hearing you say that would cut so deep. I'm really hurt Adam... But I understand. And you don't have to believe me but I know it's all my fault and I still love you." Peter sobbed. " Save your tears for someone who's worth your time. You and Blair ... I wish you longevity and I hope that you learn something from this." Adam placed his hand on Peter's shoulder gave it a friendly squeeze and with all the class of a gentleman he walked away not once looking back. Peter now sobbing into his hands was not sure which hurt more, the physical pains of his battle or the pain of his first real love disowning him. Outside were a white Lexus was parked waiting, Adam took one last look at the hospital doors and climbed into his ride. Feeling sad but at the same time free. " So how did it go?" Chad asked concerned for Adam. " He'll be fine. He's got a good family." >>>>>> The next morning White Oak's in normal spring fashion was being turned from its White classic Winter Wonderland postcard image to a dull rainy English day as the rain and balmy weather began to show patches of green that were uncovered after months of cold bitter weather that seemed to match the moods of many in the town. Perhaps with the rebirth and new life that comes with spring time people would change for the better. Holding her umbrella in such a way that her face was hidden from onlookers, Brittany took the walk of shame down Orchard road. Each one bringing her closer to ending a life that she knew and did not feel worth bringing into this world. Her cell phone turned off, she could only imagine how many messages Shane must have been leaving her right now. As she neared the steps to the clinic she saw a black umbrella and a girl around her age sat down on them. As she got closer she saw that she knew the girl. It was Kristy. Suddenly her heart lifted and she was able to smile slightly. " Kristy? I didn't ask you to come." Brittany said light heartedly. " You had that meeting with your guidance councilor and that guy from University." " I know. I was supposed to talk with them, but I couldn't focus knowing my best friend was going to go through this alone." Kristy smiled. " I told them I had a death in my family and they said they would talk to me next week." Brittany was filling up as she looked at her best ever friend through glossy eyes and embraced her in a hug. " I'm not proud of this day but having you here makes me so happy. Thanks Kristy." " No problem. Now lets get inside before all the crazy fundamentalists show up." Kristy laughed. " I use to be one..." Brittany paused. " Ok I'm ready." The two girls hand in hand walked in to face one of the biggest moments of Brittany's young life. >>>>>> " Oh my baby!" Deanna cried as she ran over to her son and took him in her arms. " Oh my face!" Peter cried out. " Mom that hurts." " Sorry dear. Oh seeing you like this breaks my heart! Who did this to you? I'll have them for it!" Deanna shouted. " Mom its ok." Peter said calmly. Deanna was followed by, Adrian, Ares and Grant just a minute after. All hurried in to see what the damage was. " Oh looks like you got a nice knuckle or two to the face Pete." Laughed Adrian. " Yeah feels like it." Peter snarled. " Don't joke about it Adrian! He could have died." Deanna steamed. " Mom, don't over react. Peter's a big boy." Ares grinned. " So little bro what did you do to get that beating?" " Tell us boy and I'll beat the fucker my self." Grant shouted his fist clenched. " Ok... What's up Ares control Ireland over here before he ends up in cuffs again." Peter said rudely. " Sorry Grant but I can fight my own battles." " Looks like you'd have to fight your own battles, where's that boyfriend Adam of yours?" Deanna asked disgusted by his absence. " We broke up." Peter said strongly. " I thought you looked like you'd been crying..." Adrian said a plot coming together in his mind. " What? Peter how could you dump him? That boy was wonderful. He acted like a man he played sports. What are you gonna dump the hot masculine one and start dating a friggin drag queen?" Deanna spat. " He dumped me! I cheated on him..." Peter blurted out who was grabbing his hair with both hands tightly pulling it. " Smart move asshole." Ares replied giving Peter a dirty look. " So what else can you possibly fuck up? He was a good guy. Are you going to go back to Brent again? See where that half wit gets you?" " Well he must get it from his mother." Adrian jabbed. " Well if ether of our boys go around cutting car breaks or using homicide as a means to get revenge... I guess I can say they get that from there farther. Which I was kind enough not to get the law involved." Deanna whispered, her tone poisonous. " Thanks dear!" Adrian replied falsely happy. " No problems dearest!" Deanna said her voice and meaning every bit false. " None of you are helping so why are you here?" Peter asked. " Were being selfish your right." Deanna replied sitting down next to Peter. " So who did hit you?" Ares asked. " I know Adam couldn't do that." " What does it matter? It's done with. It was just a guy who likes Adam I guess and wanted to show off for him." Peter sulked. " Well its best you don't say who it is because I'd have something for him." Deanna replied angry. >>>>>> At school word had gotten around fast about this new kid and how he had put the almighty Peter in his place. English class was humming until Nathan, Marcus and Rob walked in together and the room fell freakishly silent. The trio walked over to the usual tables that were all in the very middle row all side by side with Nathan sitting center. "So who thinks Cellular Biology is the biggest waste of my life?" Nathan asked Rob and Marcus his tone snotty and irritated. " I know. And we never learned once about symbiosis... How the hell did that one end up on the unit test?" Rob spat. " I'd be more inclined to know why this room was so chit chatty before and now its dead silent. People wouldn't be talking trash about their high school hero would they? I mean Peter is part of the reason you jack off's get days off school to watch us play in Championship games come June." Marcus said his voice sharp. " It's just nice to see one of the elite got what was coming to him." Said one of the boys in the back. With this remark all 3 boys heads shot around too see who said this. " Oh Travis!" Nathan started. " Why am I not surprised to hear you say that? Look, you were tight with us in grade nine and then you let yourself go and got all fat. So maybe if you could replace your hand to mouth motion with some cardio we'll talk again. Oh and I forgot being all athletes in our group and all roles such as the stuck up bitch, the slutty one and the hot jock being taken up by other people I'm afraid that leaves no room for an overweight depressed suicidal son of a crack head mother. But better luck next year!" Nathan smiled falsely. " Oh but Nate were in university next year!" Marcus laughed. " So lucky for us." " True that Marcus. And if any of you girls want to stand up and say what's on your mind about Peter by all means do so. I'll be sure to pass it on to him and see if you can match up to him in a fight. Because you're all so quick to talk shit!" Rob added looking around the room for anyone who would challenge his words. " Nathan don't you get board of being the guy that everyone pretends to like but secretly hates?" Shane asked as he walked up to the front of the class and placed his assignment on the teacher's desk that had not been in the room for most of the lesson. " No... Not really." Nathan smiled. " Oh because I think it would be lonely." Shane said standing in front of his desk, glaring down at him. " And your hardly innocent Shane. I mean you dated Nathan, and should I mention what you did to my sister?" Marcus spat. " Oh please do. It would only make you guys look bad thou. And add even more to this towns overflowing rumor mill." Shane replied sarcastically. Nathan stood up so he was now eye to eye with Shane. " You mean how you cheated on me with my best friends little sister, and the outcomes of that?" Nathan asked Shane not loosing eye contact once. " That sounds about right." Shane replied with a smug grin. " Let me tell you something. People at this school don't fear me because I'm a bitch and I have an attitude problem. People fear me Shane because they know theirs more to me then just words and if I have to brutally beat your ass to prove that I will." Nathan whispered, but loud enough for the room to hear. " Your full of shit." Shane laughed. Nathan at that moment snapped and his hand lunged for Shane's collar. Pulling Shane in close so they were literally face too face. " Look! I think I let you off easy when I found out about you and Brittany, so don't push it, because I was being very nice the other day. You want me as an enemy its all up to you, but if I were you I'd shut my mouth and go back to your seat and finish high school the way you started it... As nonexistent!" Nathan replied livid his blood boiling. As if Shane were nothing he pushed him away with the same force he grabbed him with. " Way to make a point." Rob said trying to control his laughter. " I'm so over English..." Marcus yawned. " And our teachers not even here ... Let's ditch and just go to the Lighthouse for lunch." " Yeah I'm starving. And we can go visit Peter on our way!" Nathan replied his mood totally changed. >>>>>> " I'll just have a the house salad and a bottle of Perrier." Adam said not bothering to look at his menu. " And how about you sir?" asked the waiter. " I'll have the Chicken Caesar Wrap with ice tea ... Thanks" Chad replied. "Ok and I'll have your drinks over shortly." " You're being quiet today." Chad asked his voice a little course from the shouting match that erupted into a full out brawl with Peter. " Yeah ... I apologize for that. I thought I'd be fine after cutting him off but it's going to take sometime." Adam replied dully. " I wouldn't expect you to be happy either stupid question I guess. But I think getting out of town for a couple of days would be a good idea. I'm thinking we spend 5 days in Toronto I have lots of friends out there and a change of scene will be good." Chad said enthusiastically. " I think I'm interested... tell me more." Adam asked managing a smile. " My dad is friend's with the Fairmont Hotel CEO. We could stay at the Royal York and I'll wine you and dine you and Church Street is just a quick cab ride away. We've got Yorkville and all the nice stores there and so much for us to do to take your mind of this west coast crap." Chad replied. " You don't have to convince me." Adam laughed " I'm sold were going and it's final." " What's final?" Asked Nathan, who was suddenly standing next to the table? " Holy fuck do you just teleport out of air?" Chad asked stunned. " Sometimes... so what's up Adam and Peter 2.0?" Nathan said his voice sounding distant and almost board. " I'm joining you both for lunch FYI ... Marcus is being a ditch pig and hitting on some staff member somewhere around here and last I saw Rob he was talking to David. And I'm officially single thank god!" " I heard. Two of us in 24 hours." Adam laughed. " Yeah... I'm kind of unimpressed thou. With my self mind you. I don't know what led me on to fall for that guy. Shane is so not even remotely my type." Nathan said staring blankly. " Well we all had our doubts about him" Adam replied. " And are you going to lay off Peter now?" Nathan asked Chad suddenly changing the topic. " If he respects the wishes Adam has in regards to him not trying to contact him by all means I will." " Thanks Chad." Adam smiled. " But really, no more hurting Peter and what happened last night can't happen again. I'll fight my own battles from now on." " Understood" Chad agreed. " That's a good idea... besides you don't want guys thinking you can't fight or stand your own ground right Adam?" Nathan winked. " I don't like fighting and I'd rather ignore it... much like this phone call..." Adam said rolling his eyes. " I'll take it outside... I'll fill you in I promise." " You better!" Nathan shouted while Adam was in ears shot. >>>>>> " Hi Ares." Adam said knowing what this call would be regarding. " Oh hi Ares!" Adam laughed seeing that Ares was standing outside waiting for him. " What's going on?" Ares asked, his face serious but still allowing for a small smile because it was Adam. " Just having lunch with the guys." Adam said plainly. " Yeah I see that... Look I wanted to know what happened with you and my brother. He's really upset and I know you can't be too much better yourself." Ares asked. " Well he slept with Blair and I found out and this is where we ended up. I mean yes there were a lot of other things leading up to it but I'm really hurt. I'm not saying I wont talk to Peter ever again but I need time too cool off and then were only going to be friends. I've lost all trust in him." Adam replied harshly. " Adam drugs mess people up. Can you guys just go and talk it out? I know its still fresh but you could meet up later in the week and deal with it instead of cutting the guy totally." Ares pleaded. " I said I'd settle for friends didn't I?" Adam replied sternly. " Oh come on you guys were so good together so fucking hot together you guys had it great and you think after he had all of you he's going to want to just pat you on the back after a match and say ' Good game buddy!' I don't think so." Ares said mockingly. " Well you did it, he can do it." Adam laughed. " I like you... Well I did but you turned me down before you gave me a chance but that's beside the point. You let Peter get in and you guys have this bond. Adam look, Peter cheated but you know what? He was fucked up on drugs... How many gay guys out there who are 19 do you think want to grab a guy and settle down long term? None!" Ares said bluntly. " Well actually there is one right now. And I'd like to play the field a bit. I just came out and I've only been with one guy? What's that? I'm hot, I'm sexy and I'm a good fuck... You know maybe right now theirs no guys for me. Maybe I just want to go into that slut phase for a bit and see about a relationship in a couple of years." Adam said his voice clearly serious. " Your not that kind of guy Adam." Ares said lightly brushing Adam's comments off. " Oh yeah? So if I were to say I know a nice place you and me can go and fuck while you pound my backside and if all goes well... I'll let you cum in my mouth... And I might even swallow." Adam whispered seductively into Ares ear as his hand hovered around his bulging package. " Fuck me... Adam dude let's not go there. I have a boyfriend." Ares gasped. " I know... But I don't." Adam Whispered, his other hand caressing Ares kissable lips. " Come with me now!" Ares whispered in a dominating tone as he pulled Adam behind the building out of sight. " What?" Adam asked hotly. " I don't want people seeing you touching me like that." Ares spat, as he gabbed Adam's bulge and pulled him in for a kiss. Adam pulled away " What are you doing?" Adam demanded to know. " See you don't have it in you." Ares mocked. " Now talk to my brother." " Fuck you." Adam shot back. He grabbed Ares thick muscular neck and pulled him in for a hot kiss. His hands traveling around his muscle toned body. Ares and Adam's tongues danced around in a hot passionate tango for a long minute. " I could take you right now." Ares moaned. "So do it." Adam replied being cocky, as he dropped to his knees and began at the button on Ares jeans. " I know you want it. I'll make your toes curl stud." " Shit... This is not happening." Ares moaned. With his great upper strength he lifted Adam up so they were level. " Adam I can't do this." Ares said, although his body screamed for it. Adam wrapped his legs around Ares waist, his arms around his shoulders and back. " Yes you can." Adam grinned. " Fuck me Ares. Right here right now." Ares pressed Adam hard up against the wall and began kissing his neck, his rough facial hair rubbing Adam's smooth boyish skin. Adam could feel a hard cock pressing against his package. " Ok and its over." Adam said suddenly. Adam's legs slid slowly back to the floor as slowly as it took Ares to register the shut down. " What?" Ares laughed not getting it. " One word." Adam winked " Grant!" " Shitty deal." Ares sighed. " I know, but you learned something today. I'm very good at getting what I want and I'll have no problems getting guys Ares, because I'm not as innocent and virginal as you think." Adam said in a catty voice. " So when I say I'm going to play the field, you better fucking believe I'm going to play it hard." " You'll see one day Adam that you're wrong." Ares replied bitterly. " Maybe? But until then there's a hot muscle bound jock named Chad waiting to have lunch with me, and you know I'm going to ride his cock all night... So ciao!" Adam laughed and walked proudly away. Feeling not so much a victim any more. >>>>>> " So what's with the shopping? I thought you got an abortion not a credit card." Shane yelled as he paced down the sidewalk to meet up with Brittany who was about to turn up the steps to a United Church. Brittany froze on the spot. " You're a joker..." She sighed. " Not really bad joke... but surprisingly for what I had to put up with today." Shane smiled. " Oh what would make your day any worse than mine?" Brittany laughed. " True I guess... Except I had to put up with your brother and his friends bugging me at school... but I've had 4 years to get use to that... Oh but there is the fact I'm no longer a father to be." Shane said walking in front of Brittany to sit down on the steps to the quaint Church surrounded by picturesque houses built long before the town had become White Oaks. " Sit down talk to me." The sun was breaking out from behind clouds and the last few snow flurries of winter were falling, as spring would soon be in full swing. " I'm sorry. I want you to know that." Brittany said putting her arm around Shane. " Well I'm glad to hear that." Shane smiled putting his arm around Brit. " I didn't go shopping. There baby toys and Clothes that I bought not so long back... And seeing the Town fell short with the Christmas Gift Drive I thought I'd give these to someone who could really use them." Brittany said her voice deep and shaky. " Is that a good idea letting babies in poverty wear Baby Armani?" Shane laughed. " I don't know smart ass..." Brittany snickered. " I can't keep it around the house thou." " So why did you have to do it?" Shane asked feeling he didn't really know Brittany's true motive. " Shane like I said. I want my baby to have two parents that are together, and you could not give me that. When I have a baby I want to settle down and I'm 18, you're seeing guys and I'd have a hard time getting a boyfriend, who wants a girlfriend with a kid." Brittany replied. " We still could have made it work." Shane tried. " No we couldn't. Let's not lie now..." Brittany sighed. " Ok well you could have given it up for adoption, no?" Shane said pressing on. " And risk a stranger in this small community bringing up my baby and having to watch my little girl or boy grow up and not to be a part of that? I'd rather not." Brittany replied angrily. " Did you pick any names? I mean what were you going to call it based on it being girl or boy?" Shane asked wondering of what might have been. " Not really. I didn't want to name a baby I was going to you know... not have... seems kind of morbid. But I've always liked Emily for a girl and Eric for a boy." Brittany replied in good spirits her eyes watering. " I don't hate you for this Brittany. And hopefully we can end this hostile attitude we have towards each other and make amends. So many people in this town get by in life fucking each other over and I'd like to think there is some good left here." Shane said compassionately. " We can be friends. I like you, but I'm not going to kid myself... and the fact you're a gay friend I don't have to share you with my brother is a plus." Brittany Joked. " It's getting late and I don't feel like snob food at the Lighthouse or mom's wannabe Ritz Carlton gourmet Chicken something or other... Want to join me for a cheap but amazingly good burger at Nancy's Diner?" " Are you trying to sell it to me or are you asking me?" Shane laughed. " Shut up loser! C'mon! It's getting dark." Brittany said smiling as she pulled Shane up by his arm. >>>>>> " Dad I'm home!" Kristy called as she came in the front door. " And what are you cooking it smells great!" " It's not your dad it's me!" Called a woman's voice that was awfully cheery. " Oh its you." Kristy replied lamely as she walked into the kitchen and dropped her books on the table. " Yeah! So how was school? Not that you would know right? Skipper!" Amy joked. " Actually I didn't go and I didn't go because my friend was going in to have an abortion today so I figure a day like the other 200 something days I sit facing a blackboard could be better spend for moral support." Kristy said her voice very serious. " Oh sorry to hear that. Well I'm not going to tell your dad don't worry its not my place." Amy said as she went back about her cooking. " Well I know you wouldn't. You're not my parent. You're some girl my dad likes to fuck." Kristy said sweetly. " Kristy lets be fair. I wont get in your hair and you stay out of mine. Your dad makes me happy and I make him happy and if we could work out our differences it would be good for all of us." Amy replied. " Why bother? You only come over here to eat and then hump each other. When your done you go home and I pretend that nothing just happened." Kristy smiled falsely. " Well not anymore. Your dad was going to tell you but I think now is the best time." Amy said misery written all over her face. " For all that is holy, please tell me you are not moving in?" Kristy snapped. " Yeah... Sorry." Amy shrugged nervously. " Wow!" Kristy stated. " And what the hell is that noise. Is there an animal being attacked?" " Oh that's Mr. Kitty." Amy smiled joyfully. " Mr. What?" Kristy spat. " Home! Something smells good!" Kent shouted as he walked in to a wall of tension. " My two ladies how are you Kristy moo..." Kent said giving Kristy a slobbery kiss on the cheek. " Yum... Thank pops." Kristy said disgusted. " Yeah so I know about new living arrangements... But did you know we have a cat now?" " Yeah Amy's cat Mr. Kitty." Kent said happily. " Mr. Kitty? Are you kidding me? Wow Amy that's original..." Kristy said sarcastically. " Well his real name is Felix, because he's black and white just like the cartoon character." Amy replied in quick defense. " Mr. Kitty's just a nickname." " I see." Kristy said blankly. " So Amy I have something to show you upstairs." Said Kent. " REALLY? Ok but let's make it quick my homemade cream of potato and cheddar soup wont take to long." Amy replied her voice suddenly very seducing. The two left the kitchen as quick as Kent had come in. " Mraawwwwo" was the almost pathetic sound the cat made as it walked over to inspect Kristy. " Hi Mr. Kitty! Comfort me while my daddy screws you're retched owner" Kristy said picking the giant fur ball up. " Oh you've got lots of clumps and knots in your fur lets cut them out... Were going to be best friends and it looks like there's only two places set at the table, so I guess I'm ordering a pizza." The cat was at home in Kristy's arms. Even when Kristy went into the cupboard to get a pair of scissors... And even when she began to cut strands off knotted hair out, Mr. Kitty just purred and lay there in her loving arms. " Wonder what momma's cooking Mr. Kitty?" Kristy smiled with an evil twinkle in her eye. >>>>>> " This is odd and pleasantly surprising." Peter said awkwardly as he lay down on his bed flipping through channels. " Pick a show already... Why is it odd?" Brent asked who was lay on his stomach facing the end of the bed. " We haven't had this kind of time since we broke up... Remember that? What a mistake we were." Peter laughed. " Ow... That hurts the face." " Good! I'm glad how dare you call us a mistake!" Brent snapped. " Well we weren't exactly Ken and Barbie... and most of it revolved around sex." Peter replied nervously. " Because we had great sex... Of course we fucked a lot. I mean fine the emotional bullshit wasn't there but do two guys really need that? That's why you cheated on Adam. He's too 'heart is where the home is' and we know your just a big cock that wants release... Peter I know what you needed back then and I knew this Adam thing was set to fail." Brent laughed menacingly. " So why didn't you say anything dumb ass?" Peter said slightly pissed off chucking the remote at Brent's bubble butt. " Watch it you prick!" Brent laughed in his biggest attempt to flirt. " We did have great sex you're right about that. And you are good looking and you've kept in really good shape. You still have those 8 pack abs you had back in the day?" Peter asked with a smug look coming over his face. " Of course." Brent replied confidently. " And you still have that tight ass I loved to fuck so much? Oh and that thing you did with your tongue ring when you use to blow me off?" Peter laughed. " Yes and yes... Why what's going? Are you seeing the light? Seeing that life with good sex makes Peter happy and that life with boring, moral 78 year old woman trapped in a 19 year old boy Adam Logan's body makes you want me?" Brent asked subtly. " I'm not sure what you mean... Remember I'm more of a hand's on learner. Show me what you mean cutie." Peter said as he patted his lap. >>>>>> " Alright! Let's dig in then." Amy said happily as her and Kent sat down to a candle lit dinner for two. " Don't worry the soup is just a starter, wait until the main course before you phrase me. " Well I'll have to try it first." Kent joked as he took the first spoonful. " You like?" Amy said as she brought a spoonful of the delicious smelling soup to her mouth. Kent stopped after two spoonfuls trying to figure out the texture. Amy noticed the look of displease on his face, which he desperately tried to cover up. " Yeah it's great... What did you put in it? It's like a creamy texture that kinda slides down your throat and stays there and then doesn't move." Kent said coughing. " Yeah I know that's not how it normally is thou..." Amy replied her face disgusted trying to figure out what she could have done wrong. " I think we should have some wine to help wash it down." Kent said positively as if the problem would be fixed. At that moment Amy started choking. " Pass me the wine." She hacked as she grabbed Kent glass and chugged it back. " That feel's better." As she had spoken too soon and now brought a napkin to her face to try get up whatever was causing her so much distress. " Are you ok?" Kent Panicked " Don't eat anymore. Kent stuck out his tongue and began pulling the weird ingredient of his tongue. " Is that hair?" Amy exclaimed looking into her napkin then quickly over to Kent's hand. " Looks like it." Kent said looking absolutely repulsed. " That's black hair and I'm a red head how the hell did that get in there." Amy said as Mr. Kitty ran into the kitchen looking a lot less fluffy. " Oh don't tell me." Kent said looking ill. " I bet it was your daughter!" Amy shouted. " Kent get her down here now!" " Kristy!" Yelled Kent. " Yeah?" Said Kristy walking into the kitchen quite casually. " I'm in the living room no need to scream... How's dinner lover's?" " Kristy did you cut Mr. Kitty's hair and then by any chance put it in my soup?" Amy spat. " Well I cut his hair but if some how the wind blew it around and it ended up landing in your soup pot... well that's just a fluke right? Kristy replied her face covered in smugness. " Oh and I also cut his nails so I'd stay away from dessert." " I spent 6 hours preparing this meal today and I'll have you know that..." Amy tried but was cut off by the doorbell. " Hold that thought! My pizza's here." Kristy giggled running out of the kitchen before Amy could say anything more. " Hello." Said Kristy nervously as she knew this man was not a delivery boy. " Hi I'm officer Hastings can I please come in and talk to your father?" The police officer asked. " Yeah of course he's in the kitchen step right through." Kristy said her voice trembling. " Thank you." Replied Officer Hastings as he stepped in closing the door behind him. " Dad a police officer is here. He wants to talk to you." Kristy said as she sat down at the table between Amy and her dad. " Sorry to bother you during dinner" Said the officer genuinely. " But I have some news that I wanted you to hear from me rather then the 11:00 news." " What is it officer?" Kent Asked desperately. " Well we can't confirm anything. So please don't take this as me saying anything definite... But a hiker found a body this afternoon while walking along the riverbank just down the escarpment off of Mountain Pass Road. We know at this time that the body is that of a female however because the body is not in tact and mostly decomposed we'll need to go by dental records." The Officer said calmly. " Is there anything we can do?" Kent asked shocked by this sudden revelation. " At this time no. But I figured it would be best your family hear it from us then the local news. If there's any questions what so ever please call us." The officer replied compassionately. " I have a question." Kristy piped up. " How many other women in the area are still missing persons? " At this time the Township of White Oaks and the surrounding area? None." The Officer said grimly. " But we're also about an hour away from Vancouver and it would not be the first time a murder occurred in the big city and the body was dumped in our parts. So like I said nothing is in stone yet. However I ask that your family please stay in town for the next couple of days until we can be 100% on this." " Officer I'm sure it's just some other woman's body. And I still believe Tina is probably at her mothers in California loving every minute of this while we all suffer." Kent said mockingly. " You could be right. But there is still a body that was found today and your wives whereabouts are not known, so until we're sure please keep an open mind." >>>>>> 'The End Of Chapter 17' Next California Virgin: A new family moves to White Oaks and with them comes change.
