Family & Friends

Hospital Ward. Outlaw, Saphire and John are seated here waiting. A male doctor comes out of one of the rooms.

"You can go see him now. Just don't tire him."

Outlaw and Saphire exchange a loving worried glance and then Outlaw and John go in. There lying in a bed is an old man hooked up everwhere. This is their father Roger. John steps up next to him. Roger's eyes open.

"John. Is Greg with you?"

"Right here dad."

"No. Did you bring that gizmo of yours? I want to see my youngest son."

Outlaw reaches down to his changeling belt and turns it on. He is now what he used to be before he became Outlaw.

"Much better."

"How are you dad?" says John

"I have Von Darren's Syndrome. I'm dying."

"What? But that disease is incredibly rare!"

"I know. Just my luck I'd catch it. There is no cure."

"I don't know if my healing powers will cure you."

"Don't bother, son. Listen to me, Greg, take care of your mother. I know you've supported us finacially in the past but please take care of her yourself."

"I will, you have my word."

"We love you dad."

"I love you too boys. Always remember that.....in your....hearts."

The monitors go flatline. They both close they're eyes and weep at the side of his bed. Outside of the hospital room John and Outlaw step out, their grief evident.

"I'm sorry." says Saphire

Madddog residence. Silver picks up the phone, Beowulf is sitting nearby.

"Hello? Cathy! It's good to here from you. You are? Really? Of course. I'll be there. See you soon."

"Was that Cathy Sanders?"

"Yes."

"What was that about?"

"She's stepped down as Stump Hollow mayor. She's retireing and she wants me to live with her."

"Your kidding? She must be an old woman by now."

"She is. I'm spending the rest of her life with her."

Wesley runs in,

"Guys! You'll never believe this! The UN Secretary General wants me to head up the new Future technologies division. This is an incredible opportunity."

....in other news, the core team of the Road Rovers have decided to retire from fighting crime. A new team will be designated to replace them......"

"There you have it. We're breaking up. But don't count us out just yet. Plan on seeing us in, oh say, a couple centuries from now. C ya then!"
