"Tragedy has occurred tonight in the city of Garladine. The performance of the infamous Busty Bouchet was brought to a screeching halt by a man with a gun. Shots were fired and... Wait a minute... We have a new report coming in. Busty herself was not shot, however, her mother and manager Joyce Bouchet has a gunshot wound to her upper arm. It appears that Mrs. Kathryn Stone has also been shot in the abdomen."
Alvin sits up.
"What this? My daughter-in-law?"
Quickly turning up the volume, Alvin listens closer.
"The two victims have been rushed to the Garladine General Hospital."
Alvin turns off the TV, and in a hurry, grabs a coat and rushes to his car.

Denver finds himself laughing with the other three boys in Skyler's car.
"So you three knew I was gay almost instantly?"
"Of course we did."
Brayen nudges Denver in the backseat.
"You know, none of my family knows at all."
"You'd think she would after hanging out with Brayen all the time."
Skyler laughs at his joke as Brayen just looks at him with an evil eye. Brayen is a bit flamboyant but not anything like the drag queen Busty Bouchet.
"So Denver, have we shown you enough of Garladine that you'll stay here for awhile?"
"Dude, I'm moving here already. I'll be staying with my sister while I start my new job."
Hawke and Brayen both look at Skyler driving the car, wearing a devious look on his face. Skyler just imagines how he can take advantage of that situation.
"Try not to take advantage of him Skyler."
Hawke looks back at Denver, blushing to a shade of red Hawke had never seen before. Denver can only imagine how he can be "take advantage of." Hawke turns the radio to AM news; the other three whine about his choice of stations.
"A terrible tragedy has occurred tonight at the Busty Bouchet performance. It appears that both Joyce Bouchet and Kathryn Stone have been victims of a shooting."
The boys all look at each other. They had just left. When did that happen?
"The victims have been taken to Garladine General Hospital..."
Scared now for what might have happened, Skyler turns the car to head back to the club.

Busty, Alex, and Jason are all ushered into an ambulance. As they begin to head to the hospital, Alex notices the car full of boys pull into the parking lot.
"Can we stop for just a second? I need to talk to my brother."
"Sorry ma'am but we need to get you three to the hospital."
The driver is insistent on not stopping.

Nicole sees Denver walk up to the club. She quickly runs over to her son.
"Mom, what happened?"
"Denver it was terrible. Those poor women. I hope they make it."
"Where's Alex?"
"She had to be taken to the hospital to be checked out further. Kathryn Stone was shot while Alex was right next to her. You sister is in shock at the moment."
Overhearing the information, Brayen grabs Hawke and Skyler and demands that he be taken to the hospital. The three get in Skyler's car.

At the hospital, doctors work relentlessly on Kathryn to revive her. Amidst the medical jargon, Jason arrives in the other ambulance and refuses to be seen. He will stay by his wife's side. A 30-minute battle for Kathryn's life takes place without success. As pain rushes through his body, he kisses his lifeless wife.
