As the first hint of the sun's rays began to peek into the room Beth reached over to the side of the bed only to feel nothing but air. The absence of another warm body immediately caused the blonde's eyes to shoot open. She pawed at the nightstand for her glasses. As she finally felt the familiar frames she also saw a notepad was lying underneath. Beth sat up from bed. Clutching the pad of motel stationary she read Steve's note:
Dear Beth,
I can no longer sit back and watch as innocent people suffer because of my poor judgement and recklessness. Every new victim feels like a knife through my heart. Running won't help heal those wounds. It's time for me to step up and face the consequences for my actions.
I'm going to find Debbie. Maybe there is still some part of the woman I married that I can reach. If not, well then I guess whatever fate awaits me is a better than the jail cell or executioner that are most surely in my future. You and the kids get as far away from here as possible and don't look back. Tell them their Dad is going to try and fix this mess. If you get interviewed afterwards please just tell them I never wanted any of this to happen.
What we've shared together has been one of the saving graces for the darkest time in my life. I'm sorry it has to end so soon. I'm sure you'll continue to excel in the scientific field without me. I love you Beth.
Steve
"Oh no. Steve!" Beth yelled as she jumped out of bed. She threw on a loose robe and ran out the door.
