Mr. Bridges was a quiet man. He never bothered anyone and hardly ever even left his home. With a killer on the loose and after him, he was scared. He had just lost his wife to this maniac and with his knowledge of David and his family, he knew it was just a matter of time before David got to him next.

He had police protection outside his door but the killer had already gotten past the police once and killed Ashley's grandparents so secure was the last thing he felt.

He couldn't imagine why David would've turned so quickly on a family he seemed to love so much throughout the years. On a family that loved him so much! A family that was willing to take him in and claim him as their own son! What would provoke him to do such evil things.

He stared out his bedroom window at the police car stationed out front, thinking about his wife used to park in that very same spot and how she would never come home again to greet him with her warm and caring smile. She was such a beautiful woman and such a mentor to David. She had coached him in Geometry when he was having trouble in school and helped him pass a test that kept him from failing the class.

David cared deeply for her, so why would he kill her? Just because she knew too much? It didn't seem like David at all but she had told her husband how angry David was upon learning his true identity.

It was getting dark now and nights scared him the most. All of the deaths had happened at night and he knew that he was on the list to die. As long as they could protect Ashley, an innocent 18 year old girl who had lost her whole family, it didn't seem to matter much. He didn't want to die, but at least he could see the upside to it. He'd be reunited with his wife again. That made his future seem brighter.

He could hear someone coming up the stairs and he knew. He knew it was the killer. It had to be. The policeman was still in his car and very much asleep, he could see. He didn't even care anymore. "Let him come and reunite me with my wife", he thought to himself."She's where my heart is and always will be."

Then, he saw the face of the killer. "But you're not... I don't understand." The killer came to him and began to strangle him. Mr. Bridges struggled at first, but gave up. He knew that he was overpowered and didn't have the strength, or willpower to save his own life. He gave up. The last thing he saw was his killer's face.
