Rollie , Angie and Mira are standing infront of the lake , hoping that Loubar wont pop up of the water.
But Loubar dosent come out.
"You... You think he`s dead Mira?" Rollie asks Mira , hoping she`ll say yes.
"Looks like it. He`s been down under for quite sometime. No one can be that long underwater without taking his head out." Mira answers.
"But this is Loubar we`re talking about... who knows?" Angie says.
"Just to make sure I sent the search team. They search for the body... I mean Loubar in the lake but it will take sometime." Mira says and turns around to Angie and Rollie.

"Rollie , you didnt answer my question... what now? what are you going to do?" Mira asks.
Rollie slowly takes his look to Mira.
"I... I dont know. Probably the usual FX buisness. Now that Loubar is out of the way me and Angie can be finally free and not looking over our shoulder all the time. Right Ange?"  Rollie says and looks at Angie.
Angie is staring at the lack , not moving. Looks like she`s thinking.
"Ange? are you ok?"
"I... I have something I gotta do. Rollie , can I take the van back to the workshop?" Angie asks.
Rollie sense that something is wrong judging by Angie`s voice.
"Ah , why... wait here a second. we`ll go both."
"No ,  its something I gotta do now."
"Why? You dont want..."
"Rollie! I asked you a simple question! Can I take the van or not??!"
"Ok Ok... here are the keys..." Rollie says , reaches out for his pocket and gives Angie the keys.
"Mira , can you drop me off at the workshop later?" Rollie asks.
"Sure , No problem..."
Angie takes the keys and walks to the van as Rollie looks on her. He feels something is wrong but he can point it.
"Leave her alone Rollie , she`s just upset about what happend with Loubar. Look , just let the medic team check you and I`ll take you home."

15 minutes after , Mira drops Rollie at the workshop...

"Thanks for the lift Mira , talk to you later." Rollie says , steps out of Mira`s car and closes the door.
"Bye Rollie , and try not to think about Loubar. Tell that to Angie too."
"I will. Bye." Rollie says and Mira drives away.
"Well , I happy its over..." Rollie says to himself as he walks to the front door of the workshop.
He opens it and he sees Angie standing near the table with a bag near her ,writing something on a small paper.
"Ange? what are you doing?" Rollie asks and closes the door behind him.
"Me.. no.. nothing..." Angie says in a shaky voice.
"What are writing there? Let me see that." Rollie says and comes closer to Angie.
"No , its nothing Rollie..."
"I sure hope so..." Rollie says and takes the paper of Angie`s hand.
He starts reading it. He cant belive what he is reading.

To Rollie , My best friend and the closest thing I had for a father since my father died...

After doing allot of thinking I decided I not deserve to work with you. I slept with Loubar and when I discoverd that , It broke me to pieces inside. I cant stand knowing that what I wanted to do with you I did with Loubar and that is to kiss you. I`m sorry Rollie but I just cant look at your face anymore from all the shame I have in me so I think that the best thing I should do is to leave you without looking back. Pleae take care of Bluey and my cat.
I know you`ll do fine without me and even better. Please dont try to contact me by anyway... Love Angie.

Rollie takes his suprised look to Angie who is crying.
"An... Angie , what is the meaning of this? you are leaving me?"
"Ye... Yes Rollie... You werent supposed to find me here , you came back earlier."
"But... But I dont understand... please dont do it! dont you realize that this is what Loubar wants? he wants to seperate us and you letting him win."
"I`m sorry Rollie but he already did... god I feel so ashamed! just thinking about it makes me..."
Rollie grabs Angie`s shoudlers hard and gets her closer to him.
"NOW LISTEN TO ME! FORGET LOUBAR! HE`S DEAD! HE CANT TOUCH YOU OR ME ANYMORE!"
"Rollie , its to late. He already touched me. Now if you dont mind , I..." Angie says and , grabs her bag from the floor and starts walking towards the front door.
"ANGIE!" Rollie yells as Angie walks to the door.
Angie stops but she`s not turning around.
"Angie , I`m beging you , please dont throw away 13 years. Lets forget it and move on. Now put that bag down and..."
Angie swallows.
"Sorry Rollie , but my decision is final... If you love me you`ll understand why I`m doing this. I wont forget you. Ever!" Angie says , opens the door and walks outside.
Rollie freezes for a minute. He throws the papar on the floor and runs outside just to see Angie enters her car.
"ANGIE! PLEASE! COME BACK! DONT LEAVE ME!"
"I`m sorry Rollie... I really am but it something I gotta do!" Angie says with tears , starts the engine and drives away.
"NOO!!! ANGIE!!!" Rollie screams and starts running after her car but with no luck.
Rollie stands her , watching Angie`s car disspears into the city.
"Noooo Ange, whhhyy?" Rollie asks himself but he starts and the tears start falling of his eyes.

One day later...

Mira parks her car near the workshop. After stepping out of it she sees Rollie coming out of the workshop with a big sign and a bag.
"Hi Roll , what are you doing?"
"Oh , Hi Mira." Rollie says and hangs the sign on the workshop door.
Mira sees the sign.
"Rollie , is this some kind of a joke? what is the meaing of this "FOR SELLING" sign you just put?"
"I`m... I`m selling the workshop. Tyler`s FX is no more Mira."
"But... But why?"
"Loubar , Angie , Rick , Leo ... everthing. I had some thinking last night and..."
"Where`s Angie , dosent she have something to say about this?"
"Angie left. She`s not comming back."
"What?!?!" Mira says and comes near Rollie.
"She decided it yesterday. Loubar won Mira. He got what he wanted. He finnaly did it.  So... So I guess I`ll see you around."
"So you are leaving too? how am I going to catch bad guys without you? Please reconsider what you are doing!"
"I`m... I`m sorry Mira , but I cant. I already made up my mind."
"Where are you going?"
"I dont know... but I think I`ll stay here in newyork."
"I cant change your mind , can I?"
"No you cant... please say to Gatti , Sarah and his kids that I said goodbye." Rollie says and starts to walk to his van.
"Rollie! wait!"
Rollie turns around.
Mira runs to him and hugs him.
"I... I want forget you Rollie. Please keep in touch. You`ll be missed in the NYPD."
"I sure hope so Mira. But remember its not the FX who caught the the bad guys. It was the team work."
"You right... so I guess this is goodbye Roll."
"Bye Mira." Rollie says , smiles and walks to the van.
He opens the door but before entering it he takes a last look at the workshop and then at Mira who is standing there , not moving.
Rollie looks a few seconds on Mira and then enters his van. He starts the engine and drives away.
Mira looks at the van as it dissapeard into the city.
"B... Bye Rollie. I`m gonna miss ya." Mira says to herself and waves her arm goodbye. Tough woman as she , Suddenly a tear falls out of her eye slowly. She looks at the workshop for the last time , enters her car and drives away.

A month after at the FBI Headquarters...
