Chapter 9
"How did he die?" Monique asked.
"Someone shot him in the head," Vee said.
"Did you do it?"
"Nope ... the Bosnians ... we think," Said Vee
"You think? You don't know?"
"No ... Junior had just opened the door in the bubble and he stepped through and his head pretty much disappeared. Someone shot an RPG at the door and Junior shut it before it hit. She sucked all the air out of a bubble she put over the car..." Monique interrupted.
"Wait? Sucked the air out of what?"
"Junior?"
"Vee?"
"Show her a bubble."
"Wow! so Daddy was trying to get in one like that? Why did you open a door?"
"I asked her to."
"Why?"
"Because he knew we had you and he loved you more than life itself ... He told us he'd confess all if we'd give you back. We never got to find out what he knew."
"Oh."
That led to another crying jag ... Junior was trying to get her pad back because she could hear it vibrating on the ice ... she had a call coming in ...

Since Seven hadn't come back, the Six decided she had a headache and stayed home to sleep. One might say they were partying up a storm...
Everywhere else but right where they were, it was snowing like it snows when the Lake effect is in operation ... it really snows.
There was a hole in the clouds that followed the sun as it started it's journey to the west ... the sun was shining on the party. For a bunch that claim they aren't Gods ... they had the act down pat.
