Key: *is walking up to Sarah's hospital room to check on her, carrying Sam along with her. when she reaches it, she lightly knocks on the door and cracks the door open to look inside* Hello...?
Nurse: *looks up* Oh, hello Ms. Dawson. ^^
Sarah: Hi mom! Hi Sam! :D
Sam: Hi! :D *waves*
Key: *comes inside* Hey, Sarah. :) How're you feeling?
Sarah: Looots better. :D
Nurse: Her recovery's going well, Ms. Dawson, she should be going back home within the next few days.
meanwhile
Claire: *is walking to work with Harry* Well. Glad this is somewhat over with.
TheGameArtCritic on April 20, 2011, 11:38:44 AM

meanwhile
Todd: *bitter - bitter and insane, and unable to claw his way out of the downward spiral to madness, he totes the gun-bag filled with C-4s to the school early that morning, setting the bombs up all over. No one will escape. All because of Crowe. Yes, this was all Crowe's fault. 9:00am, and he was finished. The students were in their classes. Todd was walking down the hall, out the door. Everything was set. He had the switch. He had to just get out and pull it. In every classroom, a clock ticked. Tick. Tick. Ticking away. And then he was out, and the switch was thrown. Tick. Click. And the explosion was massive - it really was. Windows shattered from the force. Fire burst out, walls crumbled, and many, many children burned. Todd casually walked away*
A Lone Soldier: *startled by the explosion, he stares at the fire, the smoke, jaw dropped, then notices Todd walking - almost STROLLING away. He broke into a run towards the offending X-WD* HEY!!
Todd: ... *bolts away*
*a chase is soon set, building with more and more soldiers running after Todd - SHOOTING at him, but missing. Soon, the news crew arrived at the destroyed school, while a helicopter recorded the chase. It was broad-casted everywhere. Terrible. Horrifying*
mechadragon13 on April 20, 2011, 12:03:07 PM

Key: *had set Sam down on the bed* ^^
Sam: *is poking Sarah*
Sarah: Stop iiiit. *lightly pushes his hand away*
TV: *suddenly changes from a kid's tv show to a live news broadcast, showing footage of the school burning, injured people running out of the flaming structure, soldiers and medics running in to assist the wounded* Breaking News: A massive explosion at Roosevelt Elementary tears the school apart-- the number of casualties is currently unknown but is estimated to be around--
Key: *gapes at the screen, completely horrified at what she sees*
Sam: *stares, not exactly understanding what was going on, but he knew it was bad*
Sarah: *also stares* ...Mom... i-isn't that the school daddy works at...?
meanwhile
Claire: I really-- *stops when she hears a loud, muffled noise in the distance* ... I really hope that's just thunder... *starts seeing smoke* ...
TheGameArtCritic on April 20, 2011, 12:14:49 PM

Todd: *is smashed against a wall in an ally by a soldier*
Soldier: *is doing the smashing, quickly handcuffing him* You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?
Todd: *snarling at him* I don't even fracking care, alright - you're all blind! BLIND!! *eyes the camera* You fracking watching this, Crowe? This is all YOUR FAULT!!
meanwhile
Harry: ... oh shoot. *to Claire* C-Come on! *runs to the site of the explosion*
mechadragon13 on April 20, 2011, 12:48:21 PM

meanwhile
Key: *had grabbed the remote and flipped the television off, still wide-eyed in disbelief* He'd never... Todd would never...
Sarah: *turns to Key, a very scared look on her face* M-Mom... daddy didn't do that, right? It's a mistake, right? Right?? D:>
Key: ...It... It HAS to be, Sarah... *is trying to convince herself that they were wrong, that he couldn't possibly be responsible for... for THAT... but the news broadcast made it very clear, and so did his reaction* Todd ...why would you...?
Sam: D: ....

mechadragon13 on April 20, 2011, 1:29:32 PM

meanwhile
Sarah: *is getting very nervous* M-Mom? D:>
Key: *looks at her, truly terrified. Todd had been caught. If he really did this... he could be sentenced to death* ...it's going to be okay, Sarah, I'm going to go look for Dad, and make sure he's okay, that sound like a plan?
Sarah: o-okay... D:>
Sam: *looks nervous as well--he knew something was very wrong*
TheGameArtCritic on April 20, 2011, 1:35:20 PM

meanwhile
Todd: *is taken into custody in the military outpost. His mind was a blank nothingness. He sits on the bench in his cell, hands folded, arms resting on his knees, head down with his hood up*
Man: *he arrives at the cell* Mr. Huntings?
Todd: *doesn't look up*
Man: My name is Dick Gracy - I'm going to be your lawyer.
mechadragon13 on April 21, 2011, 1:58:11 PM

Claire: *nods in agreement. whatever heartless being--human or X-WD-- that did this deserved every punishment they were allowed to give them.*
meanwhile
Key: *had left the hospital with Sam after the visiting hours passed, and headed home. she was still in shock from what she had seen, the horror presented on the screen. she couldn't believe it. she couldn't believe Todd would do such a monstrous thing* ...
TheGameArtCritic on April 21, 2011, 2:08:43 PM

*it was three days later that the trial was held. Mr. Gracy did all that he could to steer Todd away from the death sentence. The trial lasts hours until a conclusion is finally made*
Judge: Todd Huntings, you are hereby sentenced to stay at the Institute for the Criminally Insane, here in the city - we can all agree that, in relaying the recent events compared to your life beforehand, that you are, indeed, insane.
Audience: *are extremely angry with the Jury's decision, booing, letting out cries of "NO!" and "WHAT??". One rather violent man stood up, shouting "LYNCH THE frackER!" only to be forced out of the courtroom by the bailiff*
Harry: *is very unhappy with learning that Todd was the one responsible. He had been completely silent throughout the entire trial*
Todd: ...
mechadragon13 on April 23, 2011, 12:44:09 PM

Key: *had been called up as a witness at one point; they asked him about his past, about his father, about anything that may have caused him to snap and murder so many. she had tried her best to make him seem innocent, but it had been difficult--and her attempt was obviously unsuccessful. She looks on in fear as Todd's sentence is read out--not nearly as bad as it could have been, but... it could be just as bad if they never let him out*
Sarah: *hugs Key tightly, almost in tears. did this mean she would never see her father again?*
TheGameArtCritic on April 23, 2011, 12:59:38 PM

Todd: *sits alone in his padded cell, on his bed, staring out the barred window* ...
Guard: *comes in* Mr. Huntings. You have a visitor.
*the guard leads Todd to the visitor's room. It is a room with a table and two chairs. There are two other guards in there*

Soldiers: *There are three. They get into Key's house, guns ready. They explore the area, and end up entering Sarah's room first*
mechadragon13 on April 17, 2011, 2:15:41 PM
TheGameArtCritic on April 17, 2011, 2:24:47 PM

meanwhile
Soldier 1: OH G - hang on! Hang on! *he gets out one of the darts, and instead of shooting Sarah, just pricks her with the dart, not wanting to shoot the child* You'll be okay... you'll be just fine, alright? *to Soldier 3* Take her to the medical center at the military outpost. Explain everything to them.
Soldier 3: *nods* Yessir. *he carefully picks Sarah up and carries her out*
Soldier 1: *to soldier 2* He might get attacked. Go with him.
Soldier 2: *nods and leaves*
Soldier 1: *ventures out of Sarah's room, and wanders some more until entering Key's room*

Harry: *spots him, and is about to snarl and scream at him when --*
Todd: *suddenly takes Harry by the head and slams it into the banister*
Harry: !!! *he is knocked unconscious, and falls*
Todd: *whispering to his infected friend* sorry, Harry... *he then leaves the house, avoiding infected as he did before, managing to head all the way to the military outpost. Everyone was out at that point still, either in bed, or on the night shift, and it was easy to sneak through the darkened corridors of the outpost - to the armory, deep, deeper, deeper into the halls, until he found what he needed. Explosives. Yes. This will teach Crowe. Not an assassination, no, but a lesson must be taught... no matter what the cost. Todd took several C-4s, stuffing them all in an empty gun-bag. Then, without a sound, without a trace, he left*

Harry: *pays no attention to Claire as she sneaked by him, busy with the slightly decomposed corpse. True, it was a little rotten, but he didn't mind - he was too hungry to care*

Harry: *suddenly gets up, trying to get at Sam, barely being stopped before he tore his son to pieces, screaming angrily at him like a wild animal, those dead eyes staring angrily - HUNGRILY at Sam*

Sam: *keeps bawling, completely terrified*
Claire: *is trying to calm Sam down as well as herself--a split secod later, one step farther, and she would habe been watching her husband brutally murder her son. just the thought of it made her horrified, and she tries to push the terrible image out of her mind as she rocks Sam back and forth*

Guard: you have one hour. *leaves*
