[x] Grab a knife from the kitchen and try assisting Patrick.
"You want me to die don't you... That's it. You're trying to kill me, right? What's wrong with running? Forget it..."
Felix, in his confused mental state of horror, rage, sorrow and desperation, has become too docile to even put up much of a fight with his chosen fate. "Clinton, I need you to hold onto Melanie no matter what," Felix says. Melanie breaks down in tears once again as she realizes what he is planning. Clinton nods, admiring the sheer bravery of the man he accepted for his daughter. "I won't let go," he responds. "At any sound of danger, get out of here," Felix says focused. He heads into the kitchen and grabs a steak knife. He sneaks around the corner heading to the storage room.
Felix inches closer and closer to the storage room. He stops short when a terrible sight appears before his eyes: Tom, dead, lying in a slowly growing pool of his own blood. Felix tenses and the adrenaline flows through his body. A gunshot echoes through the house. He hears the sound of a scuffle down the hall and rushes towards it. Patrick struggles with a man that Felix instantly recognizes as none other than Stan. Two guns lie on the floor. The ground is covered in blood, pouring from the wound in Patrick's abdomen. Without thinking, Felix dives at Stan. The cool, silver blade of the knife plunges into Stan's chest. Consumed by his rage, Felix stabs Stan three more times before Patrick manages to pull him off. "Stop Felix! He is dead... That is enough..." Patrick says in a choked voice; "Call 911 now... We must end this..."
Felix, slowly returning to his senses, heads back to the living room to call the police. Melanie screams as she sees Felix covered in blood. Clinton holds on tight. "I'm not hurt Melanie... It's over. It's done," Felix tells them. He calls the police, tells them his name and says there has been a break-in and violent exchange that resulted in two deaths and one requiring immediate medical attention. Clinton releases his grip on Melanie as he runs back to aid Patrick. Melanie flies at Felix, tears pouring from her eyes, and grabs him with all her strength. "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! You promised! Don't leave me... Don't scare me like that... I hate you..." she breaks down completely in his arms. Felix can do nothing but say he's sorry as he holds her head close to his.
A swarm of police cars and ambulances appear outside Patrick's house around 10:40 AM. The ambulances rush Tom, Stan and Patrick to Gledenberg's hospital. Clinton, Melanie and Felix explain everything that happened to the police. Chad finally starts to come to again when the police are untying him to place him under arrest. As they escort him outside, he says to Felix, "Heh...my clever son... Better not trust Ro-" Chad is cut off as the officer pushes him out the door and into his car. The three of them ride back with the police for further questioning.
After several hours at the station, Felix and Melanie are finally released for the time being. Clinton is kept in for further questioning on Patrick and acts of conspiracy revolving around NewFuture. Their innocence, however, was no doubt accelerated by Chad's openness in admitting to everything. He tells them in detail how he murdered Joseph and Tiffany and how he broke into Patrick's house with Stan with the intent to kill again. He tells them he had every intention of murdering his own son today as well. His cold, unregretful tone disturbs the investigators. Out of the blue, he even confesses to the murder of Anthony.
Felix and Melanie walk back to the Swinson residence. The police informed Felix his house was still being investigated and he couldn't return home yet. Fuzzbuns was moved to the vet to be held until he picks her up. The young couple can't manage to find anything to say to each other as they walk together, uncertain of their future and scarred by the day's events. At her house, Melanie's mom, Sonia, grabs her daughter and hugs her for ten minutes. They explain all of the day's events to her. It's around 6 PM, so she feeds them and fixes up their guest room for Felix. After she is done setting up and they are done eating, Sonia heads upstairs to wait for her husband's return and leave them alone.
They lie on the guest bed together. Felix holds her closely and tries to cheer her up, but Melanie is still too broken up over everything that's happened. She falls asleep in his arms around 8 PM. Felix gently kisses the back of her head.
[] Continue to hold her until you fall asleep too.
[] Go outside for a walk to think about things.
[] Sit in the living room and wait for Clinton to get home.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
