Criss drove for hours trying to clear his head before Criss knew it he was at The Valley of Fire. Criss got out of his car and sat on the ground as the car's headlights shined into the canyon. Criss just looked out into the canyons as thoughts of Death Crash played in his mind. (Past) "Criss this is like a level ten on the dangerous scale" his brother JD stated. "So what it's not like I've tried to hurt myself" Criss replied. "After White Death we thought this would be over and done no more of this dangerous life threating "Erich remarked. "If you guys don't like what I want to do there's the door" pointing to it. (Present) "Maybe my depression is making me do all these dangerous stuff. Make it look like an accident instead of suicide" Criss thought out loud. When Criss got back to his car he saw Nikki sent him a text that said:

CRISS,
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR ME LIKE I WAS THERE FOR YOU. YOU ARE A GREAT FRIEND AND AWESOME BOSS TO BOOT. SEEING YOU FIGHT AS HARD AS I DO WITH DEPRESSION IT MAKES ME STRONG UP UNTIL LAST NIGHT THAT IS. I LOVE YOU CRISS AND I HOPE YOU CAN KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT LIKE I'M ABOUT TO. SEE IN A FEW WEEKS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER.

NIKKI

Criss smiled and felt a bit of weight lifted off his shoulder. When he got back to the house Sandra was there sitting at the front door. Criss got out and walked over as Sandra got up. "Sandra what are you doing here?" he asked surprised to see her. "I came to apologize for saying what I said. It was insensitive for me to say that you and to insult Nikki like that considering what she's done for you" she replied. Criss walked over to her and gave her a hug. "Sandra sometimes I think you're one of the reason I'm getting better with my depression". Sandra smiled and gave a Criss on a check. "Shall we go in". "All right" and they went in.
