Criss turned off the television as he sat next to his mom. "If he's going for insanity plea he's there"JD stated. "I tried to see how Costa was but he won't let me in his room"Dimitra replied wiping her face of tears. "I guess Costa just wants to be left alone right now"Criss remarked. "He's probably feeling what you felt when dad died"JD said looking at Criss. "Probably". A knock came to the door and JD got it. At the door was Felix. "Hey Felix what are you doing here?" Criss asked surprised to see him considering the time of night it was. "I just heard about Ava I can't believe her father would do such a thing. He's a preacher from Ohio". "Police are saying that he had a nervous breakdown or something"Criss said. "I heard Costa found her how is he?". "After the police talked to him he said he wanted to be left alone" Dimitra replied. "I wanted to tell you that all of the hotels that Ava did blood drives at are starting a little fund to help her mother pay for her funeral"Felix told them. Criss went over to his coat and took out two hundred dollars from his wallet. "Here you go Felix"Criss replied.

"Here Felix" as Criss's mom gave thirty too. "See me later Felix I don't have my wallet on me"JD replied. "Thanks" and Felix left. The next day Criss went to see his brother but he still wanted to be left alone so Criss honored it. At the production office the crew was just talking about Ava. "She's was a nice woman. She reminded me of my niece"Luke said. "And her can do attitude it was so catchy. When we donated blood that day I told Ava I wanted to help out with the blood drive here in a few months" Banachek remarked. "You know Felix is putting together a little fund to help her mother pay for her funeral" Doug stated. "Yea I gave Felix fifty"Gerard stated. "I gave him a hundred dollar chip I won at the Hymn a few weeks ago" Erich stated. "I just wish there was something else we could do to honor her memory" Brian suggested. Criss walked in and saw everyone's faces. "I see you guys heard about Ava last night" as he sat down at his desk. "Yea are they charging Ava's father with murder"Bancheck asked. "I don't know if he's even fit to stand trail. I heard that he had a breakdown or something"Criss replied sitting down.

"Criss is it true Costa found her and was with her when she died". "Yea Costa did all he could to save Ava but she already lost too much blood"Criss remarked holding back the tears. "I feel bad for Costa I heard he liked her"Luke stated. The phone rang and Banachek got it. "Yea thanks I'll tell him,". "Criss Ava's mom is here she wants to talk to Costa but he's not answering his phone or the door"he remarked. "I'll see what I can do" and Criss left. In his room Costa was staring out the window drinking a beer. He couldn't get Ava and her dying in his arms out of his mind. Costa finished the beer and threw the bottle at the door shattering it. A knock came to the door. "Costa let me in"Criss said. "Leave me alone Christopher"he replied. "Come on Costa let me in". "GO AWAY!!" Costa yelled out and threw a lamp at the door. Criss took a couple of steps back when he heard the lamp break. Criss knew the pain Costa was going through and wanted to help but Costa didn't want it.

Then Criss went into his pocket and took out a skeleton key he had for all the rooms at The Luxor. He put it in the slot and it unlocked the door. Criss walked in and saw Costa on the floor still in the same clothes that he came home in with Ava's dry blood on it. The place was trashed with broken beer bottles and a lamp. "I thought I told you to go away"he replied as Costa got up off the floor. "Costa I want to help you"Criss remarked. "I don't need your help Christopher just leave me the alone"Costa said. "You think I don't know how you feel hell you saw it first hand what I went through when dad died in my arms. I couldn't function with out reliving the pain and heartache I felt when dad died. Costa I know you loved Ava and your heart is aching but you can't let the pain of losing her take control of you. You have to find a way to turn it around". "You had your magic to focus your pain I got nothing"he replied in anger. Criss didn't know what to say so he left the room. When he came out he called Felix. "Felix Costa is not up to talking to anyone I'll come and talk to her" and Criss left.
