Part X of the story (by the whole group)

He left the police station and went back to the car. Half an hour later they were at the airport. They booked the first available flight, which happened to be to Las Vegas. They both felt really safe as soon as they sat on the plane. Adam was doing fine too. He didn’t even cry, in contrast to other kids. But when the plane was taking off, it slipped on the runway, swerved onto the other lane and hit an upcoming aircraft that had just landed. A big explosion shook the city. Sean saw just darkness around him.
Suddenly, he started to hear some noise, and people chatting: “What’s happened!?”, “Someone punched him!”, “Who did that?”, “Who’s that cunt?” But there was also Sue’s voice in the crowd. He opened his eyes and there she was – straight in his face.
- Where am I? he mumbled.
- What do you mean?! We’re in front of O’Neill’s. Someone punched you on the head!

Part IX of the story (by Ivona)

When everything was almost packed, Sean found something inside his son’s jacket. It was a picture of Adam, his mother and one other guy. Sean was surprised, because he had never seen that man before. And something drew Sean’s attention: Adam looked like that man.
Sean spoke with Anna about it and she was shocked too, but she told him that he shouldn’t worry about the picture, and they would speak about it later because it wasn’t a good time then.
When they finished their conversation, Sean asked her if she would like to go with them, take care of his son and start a new life in another country. She was very happy and decided to pack her stuff. After a few minutes, all of them were ready to leave the house.
On the way to the airport, Sean got a call from the police. They told him that Sue was dead. It looked like an accident so they closed the case without carrying an investigation. They rang, because they wanted Sean to identify the body. He was sure that the South American mafia had been looking for the money and at the end they killed her. He also knew that the mafia would not stop looking for them until they found what they were looking for.
Sean went to the police station to identify the body as requested. He recognised Sue. He started to think. A lot of thoughts swirled in his head and at one point he remembered the photo.

Part VIII of the story (by Lukas)

You could feel spring in the air. It is always nice to be back home. He had to wait for his parents. Anna, the girl he had met, was helping out a lot. She was a student. Her parents died when she was young and she grew up in an orphanage. She knew a lot about babies. Adam was the happiest child while she was taking care of him. It was like she had magic hands.
That morning he had strange feelings. There was always a possibility that something unexpected would happen. He got up, dressed, had his coffee and went to the shop. Adam was still asleep when Sean was leaving the house. He asked Anna to keep an eye on Adam.
When he came back, he immediately noticed a terrible mess in the living room. He could not believe his eyes – all the books, papers, CDs were scattered on the floor. He had no idea what had happened. He ran upstairs to check on the baby, but Adam was not there. And Anna was gone too. He didn’t think much, but called the police straight away. They told him to keep calm and not to touch anything.
While he was waiting for the police to come, the door bell rang. He ran to the door to open it.
- That must be the police, he thought.
But as he opened the door, he saw his gorgeous son and Anna. He started to shout.
- Where were you?! I was losing my mind! Look at all the mess!
But Anna didn’t say a word. She looked as surprised and shocked as he did.
- Oh my God! Who did this? she asked.
They sat at the kitchen table. A few minutes seemed to be hours.

In Sean’s head there were a million thoughts. "Could it be them?" he thought and ran to pack a few things for himself and the baby.
