It was great getting home to Bayport and seeing Callie again, I hadn’t realized that I would miss her as much as I did.

It’s going to take a bit of time, but me and Callie are ok. We talked a lot when Joe and I got back. At first she just seemed relieved to see me, and then she was angry with me for running off after Joe and putting myself in danger.

We fought, then cried, then kissed.

She and Vanessa are getting an apartment together in California very close to mine and Joe’s place.

Oh yeah, we decided to go back to the old apartment, not to stay in Bayport. Joe and Ness talked about getting a place together when we were back in Bayport, but, surprisingly it was Joe who finally decided against it. He said they needed time to deal with what had happened, and ‘besides, who’s gonna take care of Frank?’

Vanessa and Joe are happier now than I’ve seen them in a long time. Sometimes Vanessa will get that faraway look in her eyes, and I know that she is thinking about the baby and what might have been, but one look from Joe and she’s happy again.

You know I often think about what I would have done on that cliff if I had been Joe, with a shot-gun in my hand. Would I have had the courage to do what he did, to throw the gun away, to face Frazer unarmed?

I said it to Joe as we were on our way to the hospital to get his arm and my various bruises and injuries looked at. He turned and looked at me as we sped along in the police car.

"Sure you would Frank" he had said to me. "Why do you think I threw that gun away? I didn’t want to be like Frazer, and I didn’t want you ashamed of me." "We’re a team after all, aren’t we?"

"Sure" I said back, we are. Then I extended my hand out to him, and Joe clasped my hand in his. "A team" he repeated.

And that was it. That was the moment that I knew things would be alright. We didn’t need to talk about that night, or Frazer, or anything. It had happened and we survived, we worked together and came out on top.

So now we get on with our lives, there are plenty more people to help, people for whom we are there last hope.

I just hope none of their last names are ‘Frazer’

Its funny though, I suddenly feel cold again…………….
