Chapter 24: What's Love Got to Do With It?

COX NEWS COMMENTATOR COMMITS SUICIDE ON LIVE FEED

Controversial COX NEWS commentator and right-wing conservative, Rowena Krispy 49, committed suicide yesterday evening on a live news feed from the Alabama Marrion Hotel Suite after several sex tapes surfaced involving Congresswoman Margot Anabelle Langsford, her husband Junior Langsford, and Krispy's husband, former NFL lineman Cletus Krispy. This comes just weeks after the murder of her son, Walter Krispy 20, and actress Michelline Racquel 26.

Krispy, who is best known for promoting Christian family values and criticizing political bills by the left has been slowly deteriorating mentally after discovering her husband's affair and sexual additions. Days before, leaked footage by Hooker magazine's founder Flynn Lawrence led Krispy to attack Congresswoman Langsford at a convention for the Right sending the politician to the hospital for injuries inflicted by Krispy. Furthermore, the scandal has forced conservative sponsors like Dick's Fish Fillet and MyBodyPIllow to pull funding from Langsford party causing her to be denounced and separated by her own political organization.

Further allegations of misconduct, embezzlement, and criminal activities were revealed by Krispy including her involvement with New Mexico Governor William Dean, whose real identity has been revealed to be Guillermo Diaz of well-known Mexican cartel known as The Desert Wolves. Governor Dean's brother, 600 Club Pastor Martin Dean, aka Mateo Diaz, has been arrested for crimes of drug smuggling and dealing, human trafficking, and child pornography and prostitution. Currently, Dean has fled his state home and is still at large and FBI and police are investigating his whereabouts.

In addition, Dean is accused of murdering his biological son Walter Krispy that according to Rowena Krispy she had with the disgraced politician. Currently, Dean has been added to the FBI's most wanted list and is asking the public to assist with any information about the suspect. Funeral arrangements for Rowena Krispy will be held next week.

Ewing Jere put down the newspaper article he was reading as he turned to his family members enjoying breakfast at the dining table. To his right, his beautiful wife, Jennifer, enjoyed some poached eggs and fresh fruit while on his left, his stepchildren, Theo and Tara consumed a California omelet, bacon and toast.

"Looks like karma finally hit the Krispys and Langsfords!" Ewing cheered, smiling triumphantly. "Their lives are done for!"

His spouse, Jennifer, frowned. "Darling, let's not relish in their misery. Certainly, they got what they deserve but we don't need to gloat about it."

"Pfft!" Tara rolled her eyes and shoveled a piece of omelet in her mouth. "Let's gloat, Mom! They were terrible people! Look, what they did to Theodore! He didn't deserve to be outed like that!"

Theo placed a hand on his sister's. "It's okay, Tara. I've made peace with the whole situation. I think I'm ready to go back to work now."

Jennifer clapped her hands. "That's wonderful, son! You'll be back to leading man status in no time!"

Theo shrugged sadly. "That's the thing. I've talked to Allison, and she's lined some auditions for me, but they're mostly typecasting for the gay best friend roles like in American Greetings Christmas movie or cheesy rom com, where I support the leading lady. I don't know if that is all I want to do."

Jennifer scowled. "Look, I know you've worked hard for the parts you've gotten. But the challenge is to prove to Hollywood that you're a serious actor. If you have to restart your career playing LGBT roles, then do and branch out to prove to everyone you can do more and play character parts. Look at Foster Jody or McEwan Iain. They're gay and they've built their careers doing some award-winning work, including branching out into directing and producing. Maybe you should look into that. Don't limit yourself. You're my son and you're far too talented to be held back. Challenge yourself."
