theatrical_muse 219: Headlines
I'm sure you've all seen the headlines. It was hard to miss them once it went national... once People Magazine put what should be private pain on the cover because my murdered best friend happened to be the eldest child of a software tycoon. Every single one of the pieces went on to paint my dad as the bumbling local sheriff who went after the wrong man - after the grieving father.
Of course now we all know that while it wasn't Jake Kane, my dad was right that Abel Koontz wasn't the man that murdered Lilly. And when we finally figured out who really did and why, all our names were splashed across the headlines again. At least that time the Mars name wasn't being dragged through the mud and then trampled on. This time instead of the bumbling local sheriff, he was local hero, bringing a murderer to justice, saving his only daughter from being victim number two.
I really could live without anyone I know being made fodder for this week's People for the rest of my life. I just hope that equals the people I love being safe.
