Chapter Four - Endings
Another day had taken it's toll, and Jack was alone in his car. Unable and unwilling to stop himself, he began to weep openly, lashing out at any part of the car he could hit. The last 24 hours had seen huge changes, new beginnings and final endings. He had finally taken his revenge and killed Nina Myers, but the universe demanded balance, and he had been made to shoot Ryan Chappelle on the orders of a terrorist. Kim was in a relationship that could only mean trouble and worry for Jack, and it didn't really help when he had been forced to cut her boyfriend's hand off. Heroin was another obstacle in his way along the road to an happy and peaceful life, and he knew that he would have to eventually get help for his addiction. As the voice crackled over the radio, he silently prayed for it become quiet and allow him a few more minutes alone.
Erica read the letter which had come in the mail that morning, and as she read the bittersweet document, she found out about Nina's death, Jack's problems that he was working to overcome and the feelings that he had felt that day when the whole country had been threatened with the deadly Cordilla virus. Folding the letter neatly and placing it in a drawer, she looked up at her daughter's photograph and in her heart, she forgave Nina, knowing that she had paid the ultimate price for her crimes. That is, after all, what Jamey would have wanted, she thought to herself as she closed the drawer.
