Episode #117, "The Sanctity of Murder"
"Here's the phone," Vince said, handing his cell phone to his sister, Akilah. "I told mom about Derek…she wants to talk to you."
Vince covered the receiver with his hand. "And make sure you don't tell mom about me moving into the Hanley mansion right now." "And why shouldn't I?" Akilah demanded. "You're moving in with Julia and her mom," Vince reminded her. "Then you should move in with Alec," Akilah said. "Or at least, you could if his bitch of a girlfriend weren't —" "Don't talk about Jessica that way," Vince said, shoving the phone in Akilah's direction. Akilah took the phone away from Vince and began to talk to their mother, as Vince felt someone touch his arm. He turned around and found Kelli Anderson, his ex-girlfriend, standing next to him. "Hey Vince," Kelli said. "Hey Kel," Vince responded. She gave him a hug and he held her in his arms for a few moments before they pulled away from each other. "I'm sorry about your uncle, Vince," Kelli said. "I know you two weren't that close, but this has to be hard on you." "Thank you," Vince said. "That means a lot." "Do you want to go for a walk or something?" Kelli asked. "I would, but we have to go over to the morgue," Vince said. "Today?" "Just want to get it over with," Vince explained. "Robert is going with us." "Well…if you ever want to talk, I'm here," Kelli said. "I know," Vince said. "Thank you." |
Akilah has always hated Jessica since she used to be in love with Alec. This will start to come into play a bit more in the aftermath of the hospital stuff currently going on in the series. As for Kelli, she was always just there. She was the traditional "good" character who was dating Vince, but with him being so obsessed with Alec/Jessica it didn't make sense for Kelli to be stupid enough to stay with him, so I broke them up. I originally intended to have her be attracted to Blake (and she was somewhat, briefly) since she dated his brother, but with Blake being gay it didn't work out so much. I got a bit more mileage out of having Blake move into the Anderson home after his parents were killed, but I never really showed them interacting much there. Kelli being written off in 2008 was inevitable, but I was luckily able to bring her back for the South Africa stuff for a more interesting exit. |
"Thank you," Akilah said.
