Gabrielle stood over the stove as she flipped the bacon in her
cast iron skillet. She looked up and smiled when her husband,
Kevin, walked in holding their youngest daughter, Alana, in his
arms.
Gabby. Morning, you two.
Kevin. Morning, beautiful.
Gabby. You hungry?
Kevin. I'll eat with Tristan at my meeting. I'm taking the girls
with me.
Gabby. Where is Avery?
Kevin. Already in the car. Hey, I seen a car last night--
Gabby. My cousin, Lacy.
Kevin. Everything okay?
Gabby. I'm not sure. She only wanted to stay the night, though.
Kevin nodded and leaned in, kissing Gabby. Gabby smiled and
planted a kiss on Alana's cheeks.
Kevin. See you later. Love you.
Gabby. Love you.
Gabby pulled the bacon from the skillet as she heard patter of
feet come in after Kevin had already left.
Gabby. Morning, Sunshine.
She handed Lacy a plate of breakfast and Lacy shook her head.
Lacy. This smells so good.
Gabby. I knew you would need something hearty. I have bottles in
the fridge for the baby.
Lacy. I'm still breast feeding.
Gabby. So no day drinking with your favorite cousin?
Lacy laughed and bit into her bacon as Gabby sat with her,
digging into her breakfast.
Gabby. Has he tried to call you this morning?[/center]

Lacy shook her head.
Lacy. He hasn't called me at all.. It's not like him.. But last
night was nothing like him either..
Gabby. What were you guys fighting over?
Lacy sighed as she took small bites of her food.
Lacy. He's been acting weird lately... Barely getting sleep, and
he's been a little crankier than normal, but I thought it was
just him adjusting to fatherhood..
Gabby. That wasn't it?
Lacy sighed.
Lacy. He told me he was the reason Jasen went missing.. He said
he wanted to protect me after what he'd done to me...
Gabby. Oh.. Oh my..
Lacy shook her head.
Lacy. It's just not like him... Like. He's always been
protective, but that's a different level.. And after everything
that's happened, I was upset because I felt like he'd been lying
to me..
Gabby. That is some serious stuff..
Lacy. Then I was telling him that I wanted to leave....
Lacy sighed and Gabby looked at her concerned.
Gabby. Did he hit you?
Lacy shook her head quickly.
Lacy. No.. He just grabbed me tight a bit and we'd fallen on the
couch..
Gabby. Oh honey..
Lacy sighed.
Lacy. I just seen a different side of him last night, and I
don't want to see it ever again.. I hope he gets a grip on it..

Gabby. I'm so sorry, sweetie.
The doorbell rang and Gabby looked at Lacy with a confused look.
Gabby. Does he know where I live?
Lacy. I don't think so. I never told him.
Gabby got up from the table and walked to the front door,
opening it.
Gabby. Yes?
Drake. Good morning, ma'am. I'm Detective Drake. Are you Lacy
Winston?
Gabby. No, she's my cousin. Is something wrong?
Drake. May I come in and speak to her?
Gabby stared at Detective Drake and nodded, stepping aside.
After shutting the door, she lead him into the kitchen where
Lacy was eating a piece of her waffle.
Drake. Ms. Winston? I'm Detective Drake with the Jorden City
Police Department. Are you a resident of 1220 Sycamore Avenue?
Lacy. Yes? What's going on?
Drake. Well, ma'am, I'm terribly sorry to be the one to break
this news, but we got a call this morning. One of your neighbors
heard suspicious activity last night and when she investigated
this morning, she found two men deceased in your residence.
Lacy. What?!
Drake. One was a known fugitive, Jasen DuPont. The other was
Amir Shakur.
Gabby gasped and immediately wrapped her cousin in a
hug.[/center]

Lacy looked blankly at the detective as she tried to process the
information she'd just been given.
Lacy. A.. Amir is dead?
The detective nodded as she tried to find the air to breathe.
Lacy. No... No. He can't be..
Drake. I'm afraid so.. It looks like there was fight that ensued
and they'd both succumbed to their injuries.
She felt her heart break into a million pieces as tears began to
stream from her eyes. She couldn't help but think about their
argument and how ready she was to get away from him. Now she
wanted nothing more than to tell him she loved him one more
time..
She held her face in her hands as she sobbed. Gabrielle stood by
her side and rubbed her back as she weeped for her fiance and
her son's father.
Drake. We'll need you to answer some questions Ms. Winston..
Gabby. You just told her some pretty damning information. Can
you pretend to be compassionate?!
As Lacy cried her eyes out she heard Aeson cry from the room
they'd slept in.
Lacy. Shit..
Gabby. Don't worry. I'll go get him honey.. Just stay seated..
Lacy held her head in her hands as she thought about the life
they were supposed to have.
Drake. I really am sorry for your loss Ms. Winston.
Lacy shook her head again as Gabby returned with Baby Aeson in
her hands. Gabby handed the baby to Lacy and she accepted him
and held him close to her as she rocked him back and forward.
She felt tears overflow her eyes again as she thought about
Aeson growing up without Amir. Her heart broke again as she
closed her eyes and let the tears flow.
Lacy. I can't believe this..

Drake. We know that Jasen attacked your brother. Had you or your
family heard anything from him since then?
Lacy shook her head as Gabby continued comforting her.
Lacy. No.
Drake. Did you see anything unusual when you left home?
Lacy. No. I was too busy getting my baby in the car.
Drake. Did you go anywhere? Talk to anyone?
Gabby. She came straight here, I was on the phone with her the
entire time.
Drake. From our preliminary investigations, it looked as if
there was no forced entry. Could Amir have invited Jasen in?
Lacy. No. No way. He wouldn't have let him anywhere near where
we slept.
Lacy continued crying as Gabby squeezed her shoulders.
Gabby. Is there any way that we can do this later, Detective?
She's clearly not in any shape to do this right now.
The front door opened.
Kevin. Baby?! Why is there police outside?!
Kevin rushed to the kitchen and paused.
Gabby. They found Lacy's husband this morning.
Without another word, Kevin wrapped his arms around Lacy.
Kevin. I'm sorry, sweetheart.[/center]

Lacy accepted Kevin's hug as she sighed and began crying all
over again as she thought about the stuff they never got to do.
After their first real argument, she's forced into being a
single mother, and she didn't get to tell him how much she loved
him..
Lacy. I didn't get to tell him I loved him..
Gabby. He knows honey.. I know he knows..
Avery. Mama.. The police outside go whew whew..
Kevin stood up.
Kevin. I'll get the kids.. -looks at Lacy- you want me to get
Aeson too?
Lacy shook her head..
Lacy. No..
Kevin nodded and touched Lacy's shoulder as he went to keep the
girls occupied.
Lacy looked down at Aeson as he looked up at her. She wiped her
face and rubbed his cheek and her eyes watered again because
Aeson looked just like Amir..
Drake. -sigh- I'll get out of your hair. Thank you for your time
today Ms. Winston..
Lacy glanced at the detective then stood up from her seat and
walked back to the guest room where she'd slept the night
before. She crawled in the bed with Aeson and laid down cuddling
with him. She couldn't help but reflect on all of the promises
she and Amir had made to each other. She'd promised to always
stand by his side, and he promised to never leave her again.
They broken their promises, and she was left with figuring out
how to go on without him again.
END SCENE
