Cheers could be heard all around the world. Those that were spared death were finally free to live out their lives and those that lost their lives would never be forgotten.
Because of the severity of the charges brought against both men, it was a guarantee that they would never see the light of day again. Whether they were sentenced to death or thousands of years, they would never walk the streets as free men.
There was a big celebration held in honor of all involved with the investigation, capture and conviction. Medals were given to Drew and Max and Sr. was given a special award and citation for his cooperation and expert help in the case. It was hard for Sr. to celebrate, but knowing that he was accepted and not shunned for being the father of Adam helped him to move on with his life.
While dinner was being served, Sr. informed Max and Drew that his ex-wife’s tumor had begun to shrink and they suspect that the chip had something to do with it. Once she has stabilized, the chip will be deactivated and she should live for many years to come. That was a huge relief to them all.
When the banquet was winding down, Drew and Max decided to make an exit. They had plans that they needed to prepare for. In the time during the trial, Max resigned from teaching, sold her house and moved in with Drew. First thing in the morning they will be on a flight for a much needed vacation.

The photographer was gathering people together for a family picture. As Max and Drew stood off to the side watching both sides of the family come together, they laughed. How they convinced 47 people to fly halfway around the world to Ireland was a mystery to them, but it happened. The photographer motioned for the bride and groom to take their place in the center of the group and smiled.
“What an amazing family you make!” The snap of the camera would hold this moment in time for all to remember.

After a week in Ireland with their families, Max and Drew were off for a more tropical honeymoon. As they stepped off the tiny airplane floating next to the dock, they felt like they were on an episode of Fantasy Island. Their bags would be brought to their private “Honeymoon Hut” that stood on stilts over the clear blue water of the ocean cove. As they walked up the long and lazy bridge to their hut, they breathed in the fragrance of the tropical flowers that were everywhere.
Inside, they were greeted by a bottle of champagne and a note that read, “Enjoy Paradise. The two of you deserve it! The Office.” There was a post script that read, “Drew, talk that woman into making it official here. We could use another good-guy on our side!”
“I don’t want to think about that right now. I just want to enjoy you and this perfect place. There will be time enough to think about work when we get back to the states.” Max said with a chuckle in her voice.
Like the other island visitors, they headed to the Tiki Bar on the beach.
“What’ll you have, lovebirds?”
“Anything fruity with an umbrella for me!” Max was so excited and beaming ear to ear.
“Make that two anything fruity with umbrellas, please.” Drew was just as happy and excited to be in this tropical paradise with his new bride.
As they carried their drinks toward a pair of chairs in the sand they heard the lady behind the bar speak, “Oh, I almost forgot, we’re having a raffle for a free private dinner on…” Instantly she was interrupted.
“No!” Both Drew and Max shouted at the same time and then laughed. They agreed at that point never to enter another raffle for as long as they lived.
