adison was surprised to see Sherry Walker visiting her at the facility.

“I didn't think you would ever come.”

“Well,” Sherry said, “I think enough time has passed.”

“Is it completely over?” Madison asked.

“There's no evidence, no link unless John loses it.”

“He won't,” Madison replied. “What about you?”

Sherry was quick to answer, “Those people were the fallout from the Face of Fear. They took my ability to ever have a child when I was stabbed. I have no regrets.”

Sherry smiled. “Cronin questioned a boy that was given the money to call Ashley. Thank God I paid another $300 to a stranger to take the vehicle and do the transaction for me.”

“What about video where you paid the stranger and how did you know where to be? The club garage, the Sherman house?” Madison asked.

“Not every building and street has video cameras, Madison. As for the other places, I still have friends.”

“I don't want to know who your other friends are, do I?” Madison asked.

“No,” Sherry answered. “There was someone who knew where everyone was, including videos from the buildings, but I will tell you this . . .” Madison smiled as Sherry said, “Payback is a bitch.”

You came into my life at age 12 and gave me all the milestones every child growing up into a adult should have. And you gave my Mother the best years of her life. You gave my bride to me at my wedding and you lit up the world with those blue eyes and your sense of humor. You are loved and will be missed.
