“What do you two think that you are doing?” She looks at both of them with disgust. “This has to end right now.” “Diane, what are you doing here?” Her father sighs. “I asked you to leave, I have held the police back as long as I can. Leave.” “So that both of you can get the opportunity to kill yourself? I don't think so.” She shakes her head. “Diane, I am going to give you a pass because you are my sister, but that man is not walking out of here alive,” Angus tells her. “Take his advice and leave.” “No.” She raises her voice just to show both men how serious she is. “If both of you think you are allowed to kill yourselves, then I should be the one to do it! Seems I have more sense than both of you combined.” “What are you doing, sweetheart?” Her father asks with a faint scowl. “Do you realize who this man is? He is the product of your mother's disloyalty to us. How can you consider him to be your brother?!” “Don't get this twisted, dad, I still hate her.” She rolls her eyes. “B
