~~~In a secret place somewhere in Europe~~~
~~~In Frankfurt with the Backstreeters~~~
The concert started, and the boys performed a couple of their fast songs first, trying to cheer their fans up. Then Howie, AJ and Kev went to sit onto edge of the stage and Brian stayed alone in the spotlight. "Everyone has probably heard that Nick is not with us anymore. He meant a lot to me, he was my best friend, I loved him like a brother, when I met him, almost 7 year ago, something just clicked, it was friendship at the first sight. I thank God that I had change to meet someone like Nick, he was loyal friend, and he had talent. Now I'm doing the song what I've never sung at live, but you know this song really well, cause my little brother has sung this in our concerts since beginning. This is Heaven in your eyes and I would like to dedicate this to Nick." Brian sung the song with the band but just before the last chorus part band stopped playing and the others started to sing a cappella with Brian. They sang the chorus part twice, “I miss you, Nick...” Brian whispered at the end...
~~~Back to Dublin~~~
Ronan looked at the others, Kian, Shane and Mark were sobbing on the couch with Stephen. "I will come, they can't handle it right now." Eloy stood up, "I can come, too." He said looking at Stephen. They walked out, there was four reporters.

A young man stood by the window, looking out. He turned and looked at his friends who were on the other side of the room making plans. Two innocent men were dead, just because of his stupid friends. But he couldn't do anything, cause they were going to kill him if he would do it. He rolled his eyes and turned around again, a little black bird sat on the tree that was near the window. Another black bird joined its company and together they flew away, like two poor souls.... He sighed. 'What my life would be if I'd never met these guys,' he thought. He looked at his friends again, the youngest of them was just eighteen, his light brown curly hair was messy, but his bright blue eyes were shining just like when they first met. The oldest of the guys, dark haired short guy was the boss of the gang, but this thing wasn't his idea. Other dark haired guy was the brain of the gang (yea, alright, and where is the brain?), and young blonde just sat quietly at the back round, he just did what the others said. All five men were in the biggest mess of their lives.
"Are you sure about this, Brian? Do you think you can handle it?" Kev asked worried. "I'm going to sing it, I can handle it. Or I don't know, but I will try and you're not going to prevent me." Brian replied. "Remember that we're right behind you." AJ said. The boys were talked the whole afternoon about this, Brian wanted to sing Nick's solo, Heaven in your eyes in concert, but Kev was against it, cause Brian had big problems to accept Nick's death. Kev was just worried about his cousin. "Can you understand Kev, I feel that I'm much closer Nick when I sing this song. He was my best friend and I bet that he's watching when we are on the stage," Brian whined. "Ok, Rok, you can do it," Kev said and Brian hugged him. "I knew that you could understand," Brian smiled.
Westlifers stared at the each others, not knowing what to say. Is the band something without Bryan? They broke records with Bryan, all their four first singles went to the top. Shane hymned quietly aloud. Goodbye to you my trusted friend, we've known each others since we were nine or ten... Ronan walked into the room, 'Lifers looked at him, if he had something to say. "Ok, guys, it's in your hands, just take your time, if you don't want to continue with the band, we can cancel the record deal," Ronan said. A policeman came in, "There is a few reporters, are you going to do an interview? If you don't want we'll tell them to go away." He said. "Do you want do it?" Ronan asked for everyone. "I can do it," Nicky replied. "But I need someone to come with me," he said quietly.
Abs ran to the Scott’s hotel room where everybody else were chilling out. “You guys can’t guess what I just heard on the radio. Bryan McFadden have been murdered!!” Abs told them. “Who?” asked Scott. “Bryan McFadden, the guy who found Nick Carter when he died!!!” Abs explained. “This is unbelieving....” Sean murmured. “Is the murderer found, yet?” Rich asked. “No,” Abs replied shortly. “There is a serial killer out there who likes boyband members... Should us be more careful than before?” Sean asked. “I don’t know... maybe...” Abs said.
“I did it, I actually did it....” Brian sobbed wiping the tears off his eyes. “Yea, you did it, Rok,” Howie said hugging him. “Are you alright?” Kev asked fatherly. “I’m ok. I have always liked that song and I have planned this since Nick’s death. But I can’t still realize that I actually did it. What you guys think that fans liked about it?” Brian asked. “I think that they liked it, although everyone was crying.” AJ replied. “Do you know what guys?” Howie asked quietly. “What?” the others asked in unison. “I had strange feeling on the stage tonight. It was when we sang Quit playing games and I was standing edge of the stage. I felt like there was someone behind me and I thought that it was one of you, so I didn’t took a look behind me.” Howie explained. “What happened then?” Kev asked. “I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I turned I saw that you all where other side of the stage.” Howie said sadly. “Nick!!” Brian whispered. “It was probably something made by you imagination.” Kev said. “I felt so real.” Howie told him. “I believe you, D,” Brian whispered to Howie when they left to the hotel.
Eloy, Ronan and Nicky came in and looked around. “Where’s Steve?” They asked for Mark, Kian and Shane. “He went walk with dog... He wanted time to straighten up his head.” Mark said quietly.
