Understanding

by Heather Hinson

God, I feel like such a heel, walking away like this. Seeing her there, clutching that bear with such a hopeful expression on her face, only to be dashed down by the likes of me. Where's her family? Don't they even care? She so frail, and to endure all the hell she's gone through. How the hell could no one care?

Oh yeah big talk for a man who's leaving her here, for a date with someone I don't even like tonight. I can't leave her here alone. Not after this; not after everything that's happened.

My friends, they'll uderstand. They can do the other runs without me. Egon's giving my that famous inquisitive look. I have to make them understand.

"I can't just leave her here Egon. She's all alone. Besides, she reminds me of my mother."
