Announcing the arrival of daybreak

Officer Stern(entering from the kitchen holding a picture in his hand stops at the window)-"Mrs, Richards I hate to bother your right now but do you by any chance have another picture better then this one for Rodney?

Brenda(wiping the tears from her eyes reaches up to snatch the picture from the officer)-"None, of this would be happening to us now if he would've spent more time at home like I asked instead of partying with the town tramp,"

Donald (placing his head in his hands beings to sob)-"I, know that all of this is my fault Brenda you don't think that I carry the memory of that night with me!
