"They're dead."

 

"Yes, I know, Jethro."

 

"They're dead."

 

"Yes."

"They're dead and you're alive. Why couldn't it have been - Oh, my God, Ducky, I'm -"

 

"It doesn't matter, Jethro. Sleep now. You'll feel better in the morning."

 

Jethro felt the prick of a needle in his arm. And then . . . Nothing.

 

The next morning when he awoke and went downstairs things weren't better.

 

They were worse.

 

Much, much worse.

 

There it stood cold, stark, simple, devastating.

 

A few lines in Ducky's handwriting.

 

It ended:

 

I will always love you.

 

Ducky

 

No, things weren't better.

 

Things didn't begin to get remotely better until 1996.
