Abby: "911. What's your emergency?"

"Chimney, you're almost there!" Hen shouted.

Chimney was cutting the tree branch. A guy stood there watching them.

"Why would she do something like this?"

Ashleigh was doing chest compressions on a woman, and Bobby stopped her.

Ashleigh grabbed the woman's wrist, staring at the bruise.

"Whatever it was, we could have talked about it. I could have helped her. I loved her."

"I imagine she wasn't eager to run into your loving arms." Ashleigh said.

"We had our differences."

"Clearly." Said Ashleigh.

"Now, my wife liked to use this tree for her target practice. It's still standing. And she's not."

Bobby, Chimney, Hen, and Ashleigh all stared at the man, watching him walk back to the house.

"Come on, there's nothing you can do?"
