... daughters forehead, he wanted to know the answer to that question as well. He felt pressure on his free hand, and looked to see Carly holding his hand tightly, silently assuring him that everything was going to be ok, which at this moment, and with his dad acting so weird, he really needed. * * * Also not present in the crowd were Jade and Freddie, who were just sitting side by side on his bed, and staring at the wall. He was trying desperately to find the words to break through to his love, but he could not fathom the magic phrase that fixes 'both your parents are gone'. News had spread fast that there hadn't been any boats in or out since they arrived, and the sudden realization that this wasn't just a random murder, and that someone really was out there killing innocent guests shook both of them to their core.

"We need to talk about the wedding," he said, which prompted Jade to head to the bathroom, and shut and lock the door behind her, leaving Freddie as confused as ever, and feeling utterly lost. * * * Singer quickly dispatched everyone, informing them to go inside and to try and get some sl*ep, as tomorrow he would be getting everyone out and onto a boat. Which was great news for some to hear, but obviously a little late for several people.
