"I owe you an apology." Mitch says to Austin.

"It attacked you, too, didn't it?" Austin asks.

"No. But I don't know what's real anymore. I feel like I'm losing my mind." Mitch  says.

Austin takes off he sunglasses to look Mitch in the eyes.

"The devil is real. And he's not a little red man with horns and a tail. He can be beautiful. 'Cause he's a fallen angel and he used to be God's favorite. Have you read the Book of Revelation?" Austin asks.

"No."

"In heaven, there's this woman in labor, howling in pain. And there's a...there's a red dragon with seven heads waiting, so he can eat her baby. But the archangel Michael, he  hurls the dragon down to Earth. From that moment on, the red dragon hates the woman and declares war on her and all of her children. That's us." Austin explains.

He sighs and looks down at her feet and continues talking to Mitch.

"Uh, yeah, things have gotten pretty weird for me." Austin says.

"Me too. I can't eat. I can't sleep." Mitch says.

"The nights are the worst. I get four hours if I'm lucky. That's only with pills." Austin says.

"What kind of pills?"

Austin then pulls a pill bottle out of his backpack and hands it to Mitch.

Mitch looks at the bottle and up to Austin.

"Can I have one?"

Mitch decides to take a trip to Westfield High to see the plague they have up for the massacre victim in 1994 and talk to the teacher who survived after being shot.

He looks around the bookshelves just thinking about what those kids went through that day many years earlier.

The teacher notices Mitch just wandering and looking around.

He turns his wheelchair around and makes his way towards Mitch.

"They were over by the sofa." He says.

Mitch turns around and looks at him.

"There used to be a row of tables. I get four or five of you sickos a year. Usually freshmen. What are you, a transfer?" The teacher asks.

Mitch just stands there looking at him trying not to make eye contact.

'You're that teacher. You're, like, a hero." Mitch says.

"Now you know what heroes look like." He says and wheels past Mitch.

"Wait. I'm sorry. I'm not like those other kids. I know Scott. I mean, I know his mom. We moved next door to her." Mitch says.

The teacher then turns around and looks at him to see what he has to say.

"Did you know him? Before he did this?" Mitch asks.

"Knew his face. Didn't seem like a bad kid, actually. He was in here a lot. Kind of thoughtful. Liked to read. Byron, books on birds, random stuff." The teacher explains.

"Was he bullied or something? Did he even know the kids he shot?" Mitch asks.

The teacher turns back around and starts to wheel away again, when Mitch tries stops him.

"I just want to know why he did it." Mitch says.

"Me too." The teacher says.

Mitch stands there getting mad at the fact he's not getting any answers from the one survivor who was shot.

"Why are you bullshitting me!?" Mitch yells.

He back his wheelchair up and turns towards Mitch again.

"If the bullet had been an inch to the right, it would have missed my spine, and I would have walked out of here. Might have been able to stop him. An inch higher, it would have killed me. Sometimes, shit just happens." The teacher explains.

"Good people don't just have a bad day and start shooting people." Mitch spats.

The teacher sighs and looks up at Mitch.

"Maybe he wasn't a good person."

"Angelica."

Angelica turns around to see Nel standing there with a coffee mug in her hand.

"I'm afraid I've got some bad news." Nel says.

"You lost the baby." Angelica gaps.

"No, no, no, no." Nel says.

Angelica sighs in relief and turns back to the sink to finish the dishes.

"Stop...stop cleaning and come sit down. Come sit." Nel says gesturing to the breakfast nook.

They both sit down and Nel looks down at her hands and sighs.

"I'm afraid that we're gonna have to let you go."

"I don't understand. The house is spotless."

"It has nothing to do wit you, believe me."

Angelica gets up and paces in a circle.

"Mrs.Grassi, this is not a job. For me, coming here is a reprieve."

"I understand. We just can't afford it."

"Then I'll work for free till you sell. I'll make the house gleam and glitter for the new owners. Them perhaps they'll hire me."

Angelica sighs and places the dish towel on the counter and turns back towards Nel.

"Mrs.Grassi, I've had my share of regrets. But leaving an expectant mother in the time of her need will not be one of them. I'm staying." She explains.

Nel laughs a little.

"You're being so dramatic. I'm not helpless, Angelica." Nel says.

"Well, I'm not one to belabor a point, but where has the time gone? You must be famished." Angelica says.

"I mean, I am hungry." Nel says.

Angelica grabs a plate off the counter and places it in front of Nel with a fork.

"Connie dropped by earlier with another delicious delicacy." Angelica says.

"No. I don't want you cooking for me. Please, don't go to the trouble. Come on." Nel says shaking her head.

"No trouble at all. It's served raw so you and the baby get the full measure of vitamins. It's the most nutritious organ of them all. It came from an organic farm. I hear the raw food movement is really taking off." Angelica explains.

She sets the large dish on top of the plate for Nel and walks away.

"For the baby."

She hesitantly takes the top off the dishes and when she does, she wish it was something else.

It was cow brain.

Nel picks up the fork and knife and starts to cut into the brains and eat it.

Even though it's raw, she can't believe how good it tastes.

She puts salt and pepper on it and takes bite after bite and doesn't stop until the brain is all gone.

Once it's gone, Nel can't believe she ate cow brain and how delicious it was.

She doesn't know what has gotten into her lately, but the way Connie has her eating is good for the baby and that's all that matters to Nel.

Mitch walks through the front door locking it, and turning on the alarm for the night.

As he goes to walk upstairs, he sees someone walk through the hallway towards the basement.

He sets his bag down by the stairs and goes to follow the shadow down to the basement as he knows it's probably Scott.

"Scott?"

Mitch walks into the dining room to find no one there.

He then sees Scott walk past again and it scares him this time.

Mitch walks out into the hallway and sees Scott walk down to the basement and decided to follow him.

He quickly walks down the stair to the basement and calls out his name.

"Scott?"

"I"m not playing hide-and-seek, Scott. You have to leave now!"

The twins, Esther and Avi, go running behind him through snap pops on the floor scaring Mitch.

"Get out of my house!"Mitch says going after them to another room in the basement.

There he finds the two nurses that were murdered standing by a random tub.

"Look at what he did to me." The nurse says.

Mitch tries to run out of the house to see the two robbers that Scott killed for trying to rob the house a month earlier standing behind him.

"Excuse me, ma'am. I don't want to bother you, but I'm hurt and needing some help."

Mitch quickly runs out of that room and runs into Dr.Olusola.

"Has my wife medicated you? Are you here for the procedure?"

Mitch backs up towards the hall and runs all the way upstairs to his room.

Once he gets to the second floor, Mitch hear loud music playing from his room and knows that is definitely Scott.

He opens his door to find no one in there and shuts off the loud music.

Mitch breathes heavily and backs up towards his bed.

As he does, off the corner of his eye, he sees a message written on his chalk board wall.

'I love you.'

Mitch gets down on his knees and starts to cry.

He quickly goes through his bag looking for the pills he got from Austin earlier.

Once he pulls them out, he takes a hand full and washes it down with water.

As he takes the last of the pills, he starts to gag.

Even though he can barely walk now, he manages to make his way over to the side of the bed and lay down.

Scott then drags Mitch's unconscious body towards the bathroom to wake him up and make him through up all the pills he just swallowed.

"Don't you die on me, Mitch!" He yells as tear cloud his vision as he keeps dragging Mitch behind him.

"No. Don't you die!" He yells.

Scott gets in the tub and sits Mitch down in his lap and turns the shower on.

"Don't you die on me!"

"Mitch!"

He sticks his figures down Mitch's throat causing him to throw up all over the tub.

Mitch begins to cry as he sees Scott sitting in the shower with him.

He's so sorry he caused Scott's heart pain, but he just couldn't take it anymore.

Scott holds Mitch in his lap while he cries.
