***Part Five and the Conclusion***

Setting:  Los Angeles, California

At a local bar...

          Jonny was sitting a the bar with five bottles of beer in front of
him.
          "Son, I think you've had enough," said the bartender looking at the
beer bottles.  "I think I'm gonna call ya a cab."
          "Look, I'm fine," said Jonny.  "I'm outta here."
          "Oh, no!  I'm callin' ya a cab!  You've way too drunk to drive!"
said the bartender concerned.
          "You're not my mom!  Leave me alone!" said Jonny as he stormed out
of the bar.
          Hadji arrived at the bar where Jonny was at.
          "Hi, I'm looking for my friend!" said Hadji desparately to
bartender.  "He has blond hair, he's 21, uh...about 5' 5".  His name is Jonny
Quest!"
          "Yeah, he was just here, but he left!" explained the bartender.
 "Hey, you better go after him!  He just had five beers!  He's drivin' drunk!
 I already called the cops!"
          "Thanks!" said Hadji as he dashed out.

          Jonny was speeding and swerving out of control as he drove.  He
barely missed other vehicles left and right, and heard the swearing and
honking from other people.
          "How could I be so stupid!" said Jonny talking to himself.  "Race
hates me!  Jessie hates me!  What have I done?"
          Jonny turned on the radio, and heard LeAnne Rimes sing:

                                  "How do I live without you?
                                   I want to know.
                                   How do I breathe without you?
                                   If you ever go.
                                   How do I ever, ever survive?
                                   How do I?  How do I?
                                   Oh, how do I live?"

          Just then, Jonny started swerving out of control!

          ::::::::::::::::::::::::::CRASH!!!:::::::::::::::::::::::::

          Jonny, at high speed, crashed into a brick wall.
          "Jooooonnnnnyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!" screamed Hadji as he saw Jonny's car
crumpled against the wall.  Hadji stopped the car, got out, and ran towards
the crumpled car.          
         He saw two cops examining the accident.
         "You knew him?" asked the one cop.
         "Yeah, he's my best friend, Jonny Quest," said Hadji in total shock.
 "I'm Hadji Singh."
          "Hadji, we're real sorry.  Jonny died instantly," said the cop
regretfully.
          "No!!!!!!!!  Jonny, no!!!!!  cried Hadji.

Back at the hotel.....

          Cops and EMS were at the hotel suite.
          "I can't believe Jade committed sucide," said Jessie in shock and
staring into space, sitting on the sofa.
          "I know, Ponchita," said Race sadly and sitting next to his
daughter, and staring at the floor.
          "I guess, Jade felt no one loved her," said Benton.
          "Mr. Bannon, do you know if Miss Jade had any family or close
relatives?" asked the officer.
          "I...don't think she had any," said Race as tears came out of his
eyes.  Jessie embrace her father.
          Then, suddenly, there was knock at the door.
          "Oh, what now?" asked Benton.
          Benton opened the door.  Hadji was there, and had been crying.  He
was accompanied by a police officer.
          "Dr. Quest, we have terrible news.  It's about your son, Jonny."
said the officer regretfully.
          "What...what about Jonny?" asked Benton nervously and alarmed.
          Race and Jessie were standing behind Benton.
          "I'm very sorry to say.  Jonny was in a fatal car accident, and
died instantly," said the officer sadly.
          "No!!!!!" cried Jessie embracing her father.
          "Oh my God!!" said Benton in horror.
          Hadji walked over, and embraced Benton.  They began to cry.
          "Jonny...," said Race hugging his daughter tightly as they cried.
          Hadji pulled away form Benton.
          "What happened?" asked Hadji with tears in his eyes as  he looked
in the suite.
          "Oh, Hadji...Jade hanged herself," said Benton sadfully.
          "Oh, dear God!" said Hadji in shock and sobbing.
          Then, for no apparent reason, Hadji walked over to the radio, and
switched it on.  LeAnne Rimes was singing:

                                   "How do I live without you?
                                    I want to know.
                                    How do I breathe without you?
                                    If you ever go.
                                    How do I ever, ever survive?
                                    How do I?  How do I?
                                    Oh, how do I live?"
