MIDNIGHT VISITOR- EPISODE 6

ANSWERED QUESTIONS

Casey jumped up at the sound of someone at the door. She stood from the couch while placing her plate full of cheesy pizza on the table in front of her. She walked out of the living room and into the hallway. She heard Chris and Micah in the background. They were laughing about the latest Saturday Night Live performance. There stood Bill Sullivan when she opened the durable and heavy mahogany door. She saw that he was experiencing so much grief. His eyes and body language revealed this. He had just found out that his daughter, Corks, as he called her, had died. Casey wanted to help him in some way. How does one do that in the face of such tragedy? She herself understood grief when she lost a loved one. Casey's mom had passed away just when her life seemed to be in order. Casey believed her mom knew she didn't have long to live. Her mom's heart complications made this clear. Her mom supported her through everything in life. The support wasn't just financial but also spiritual and emotional. Casey felt like she understood Bill's grief. Although she and Chris didn't have any children yet. She couldn't imagine losing a child. Yet here Bill Sullivan was, still standing. What he had to share would answer many questions about the past few days. It would also explain the past tragic events that occurred in the surrounding towns. It would explain why her father visited her at midnight. It would also explain why she woke up in her bed the next morning as if his visit never happened. And the key. What was the meaning of it all? Casey was about to be shocked by Bill's revelation. She would finally have answers to her questions

.

BILL SULLIVAN'S REVELATION

In spite of all the grief, Bill knew he had to keep going. The first step in the process was to talk to Casey. There was so much to explain to her. After his talk with Casey, he planned to return to Jamaica. There, he would tell his wife and surviving child the devastating news of Cork's passing.

"Is there somewhere we can talk?" Bill asked. "Yes," Casey said, holding her hand out in the direction of the kitchen. They both walked in the direction of the smell of the chocolate cookies Casey was cooking in the oven. Bill inhaled the yummy aroma of the cookies. He hoped Casey would offer him one or two when they were done. Right now, they both found a seat at the table. So, Bill says, "I guess you are wondering why you had a visit from your father." "Wait, how did you know about that?" Casey asked. That's when Bill began telling her about his work for the Secret Service. He explained it was at the lab where he was employed. An experiment that went horribly wrong had released a virus that could affect the surrounding areas of the lab. The thing was, this strain of bacteria would only affect females. First, it would start with a coma-like trance. Casey gasped. She thought, That is why I woke up in bed the next morning. It was as if I had a dream of my father's visit. This virus would also explain the tragedy of Corky's sudden death. But Casey still had a question. If Bill knew this, then why did he leave his daughter at home? The rest of their family was in Jamaica. It's like Bill could read her mind. He began telling Casey how he tried to protect his family by taking them to another country. This was a trip his daughter was going to go on. He got into an argument with his daughter after many attempts to convince her to go. He lost the fight in the end. So he told Corky she could stay home under one stipulation. She was to always carry the key he would give her...everywhere.

Bill said, "I thought the key would protect her and her friend, Cammy. I was wrong," he said with a heaviness of grief clearly displayed on his face. Bill began his defense, "The visit from your father at midnight was necessary to keep you protected from the virus. My lab, he went on to say, created two ways that would ensure protection. The protection was to be by the key and hypnosis." Bill paused. "Unfortunately, the key didn't work. Fortunately, in your father's case, hypnosis worked on you." That explains me waking up in bed the next morning," Casey said. My father had hypnotized me,' she thought.

HOW AND WHY  THE VIRUS WAS CREATED

Both Bill and Casey sat there in silence. Casey was thinking how unfortunate it was for Corky. Furthermore, she felt compassion for Bill and his family. Bill had to travel back to Jamaica. He needed to deliver the news to his wife and other child. Little did he know the news had already been delivered to his wife. His wife was at the moment trying to get in touch with him. To summarize the creation of the virus was created as a cure for heart disease. After many attempts and tests, a cure was eventually discovered. Corky was lost in the process of finding a cure, which was an extremely tragic event. However, her brother was saved several years later. The foundation for the cure was named after Corky Sullivan. Her memory will be saved. In turn, she is named after a cure that will save many lives.
