The Art of Revenge – by Kyle Roberts

On a first date, Chris Knox would seem to be your average guy, funny, charming, kind, compassionate, and trustworthy, which he is, but working as an undercover cop in L.A. is tough business. When Chris was a little boy he uncovered a secret about the man that killed his parents, now fourteen years later he is seeking out a drug dealer that has connections with the man that caused so much grief in Chris’s life…

our sister and us were like the closest you could possibly get, wether it was going to a pistons game and “parking in the middle of nowhere” as Kolleen said or just shootin around at home she was always there 4 us whenever we needed her, we would I.M. her and she would correct our spelling mistakes and name off the scientific names of all the body parts. she wanted to b an athletic trainer…..i always said that someday she would be teding to Ben Wallace. we always would blast ridin dirty whenever we went to a pistons game or something and we would go to rite-aid to c a woman named Dlores. Kolleen thinks she looks like crap (i have to agree). we love you Kolleen and i know you will have a great time up there with grandpa

Kyle Roberts

i have so much to say about you, dude u were the koolest! even when we did park in the middle of frickin nowhere at the pistons games. A great memory about us is when we used to stay awake in the hotels and make bird signs with our hands. that was pretty cool. i wish i could go back to momorial day before you went on the seadoos. i would smash them so bad that it would be impossible to ride them. but i know that that will never be possible because your gone…..you never realise how much something means to you until you lose it. cherish the moments you have with friends and family.

FRIENDSHIP IS A PRICELESS GIFT

THAT CANNOT BE BOUGHT OR SOLD

BUT ITS VALUE IS FAR GREATER

THAN THE MOUNTAIN MADE OF GOLD

FOR GOLD IS COLD & LIFELESS

IT CAN NEITHER SEE NOR HEAR

& IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE

IT IS POWER LESS 2 CHEER–

IT HAS NO EARS 2 LISTEN

NOR HEART 2 UNDERSTAND

IT CANNOT BRING U CONFORT

OR REACH OUT A HELPING HAND

SO WHEN U ASK

GOD FOR A GIFT

BE THANKFUL IF HE SENDS

NOT DIAMONDS, PEARLS OR RICHES

BUT THE LOVE OF REAL TRUE FRIENDS

so this is how it has to end? i still cant beleive it. it seems like a dream that i can just wake up from but i kno thats not true. I hope you and grandpa build alot of houses up in heaven. Shauna and i are still laughing about the times when u would say the eggroll….ok 15 minute. well i trust you will guide us through this tough time. peace out Ro

well theres so much to say about my sister Kolleen and it would take like 4 years to cover just the first 5 years we were together. my favorite quote from KoRo would have to be “suck it up”. She always sucked it up and never showed weakness, a very unique quality of her. people say a picture is worth 1000 words. Kolleens picture is worth the world. I truely can’t remember a time when she was mad at me. She was always happy, from waking me up with our dog or just waking me up with a wet finger in my ear. she will be missed and i don’t think there will ever be a day when i dont think of her. I sorta half expect her to come home from school. i still find it hard to beleive and i know its hard for her friends also. You have no idae how painful it was to hear the reactions from people. ok heres the part where i write yet another note for my sister if she can mix reading it between teaching god how to shoot baskets. Ro, never will i forget the special times we had together, never ever. i swear we played every song ever made on our way to the Pistons games and from. The great conversations in the parking lot of the pistons games where we would talk and honk our horns in responce to other horns. I still want to go to a palace vision with you so in heaven maybe we could do that? Do the pistons ever stop with their seasons? like does it go on forever? and i swear i wont see Pirates of the Carribean without you because i kno thats something we were going to do together, and despite my love for exotic cars i wont see tokyo drift without you either. MK reminded me that you still have like 2 cd’s u have to burn 4 me but ill talk to MK about that. I don’t kno if you would like me to have your iPod because i kno it was so special to u. i probably wont use it much because it remindes me too much of u. i was looking at ur phone and i notices that the last picture you ever took was at that Pistons game we went to. u kno the sumo wrestlers. good times. like when we were on that cruise and i begged mom and dad to leave the concert or whatever it was so after about 20 minutes of whining i finnaly got to go to the day care place. but my plan backfired when we took a surprise fieldtrip to the concert anyway. lol. dude i kno u remember that. u were laughin i could c. Like when we would take seadoo rides and you would let me drive and i would ask you trivia about boating safty just to go really slow because i hate it when you go fast seeing as though you cant hear my voice over the roar of the engine. like the one time we did a doughnut and we flipped the seadoo and it wouldnt start so we had to push it back to shore. nice conversation on the way back about using the whistle and everything. Like when we were at J. Baldwins and i “sneezed” only it didnt quite come out that way. lol!!! u and i were cracking up so hard after that. thats mainly the reason y i drove home with you so we could laugh about it some more on the way home. Never, NEVER will i ever forget lil sibs weekend at Albion. we got there and we signed in and u wanted to kno if i wanted any bracelets and now im chocking up here because of all the fun we had and how we’ll never have that same fun in this lifetime……ok im good. so i said i wanted one and i offically felt like one of the group members. like when we went to dinner and we sat there in utter silence 4 like 10 minutes until we broke the ice by asking about the pistons. Man was the bread there good or wut after you seen me consume like all of it in like a minute. when we got back to the dorm and i played all of my favorite songs from the iPod. and all of your friends were like throwing string cheese at a wall. lol. we played B.S. and watched the incrediables together. Remember that? The food at Baldwin sucked real bad but i kno u always found a way to eat it anyway. the cookie that was as big as my head!! u ALWAYS ripped on me because i lisp my letters sometimes. but i always came up with something else to change the subject with didnt I? u kno i did because then u would leave me alone 4 like a minute or two. one… two …three…NOT IT! i still dont kno y u turned on me and always made me do the dishes. well it worked between us a few times. u loved my back masagges didnt u. now you’ll have to wait 4 me to get to heaven so i can give u as many as you want. and like the night before your accident i gave u a hand rub while Sills and i were working on the rubix cube. On momorial day when u woke me up with the wet willie. lol. u always did that. and i need to thank you for helping me with my back, it did help. if you just come back i’ll give u as many back rubs as you want just say when and ill give em to u. im starting to cry now because im thinkin of all this stuff. i just want you back where i can hug you and be able to grip my elbos i squeez u so hard. i always admired your smile even when you didnt smile. u dont kno this but when ever u were in a bad mood i would always try to do something to make you happier but it always resulted in making you mad so sry 4 those times. i just want to c u again and i want to be able to rub your back and give you that foot massage i owe u. im sry 4 not giving it to you i really am. and like when i got in trouble you would sneak me some candy from downstairs. you were 2 good to be true Kolleen u really were. im so proud of all your accomplishments and i kno you are probably telling god all the scientific names of the body parts which u used to do to me. so i guess god took you from us 4 a reason but when you said u were coming back in a few minutes to give me a seadoo ride i never thought i would need to wait till i die. i was so scared that something happend to you, but i waited 4 u 4 like an hour in my lifejacket. y would u go all the way out there if you could of just waited 4 me. it dosnt matter now because now you only exist in my heart and memory. the times when we used to play ninendo together and Zelda. im sorry i deleated your file when i was younger i will never forgive myself 4 that im too sad to sleep and kno i wont get to sleep because i will still expect u to come in my room 4 a sec like u used to do.like the time when you woke me up to give me a puzzle you got from your trip i was so tired but i know u knew i loved it. thank you Kolleen for all the wonderful years together but 18 years. not logical. not enough. i kno u and i were looking forward to dress up as packman and one of those guys and run down the halls at the library screaming 4 the next lil sibs week. But if you would let me im sure Shauna and i could give it a try. waaka, waaka, waaka. lol. im going to miss the times when we ordered chinese food and u would always go, eggroll….? okay fifteen minaut. I love you Kolleen and i wish you never went out on the lake that day. Continue to excell in everything you do in heaven. Must be nice up there with grandpa and everyone. i kno you are happy there with everyone and i dont want to take any more time of your time but kno that im here and if ever you want to talk in my dreams i would like that.i took your watch, hope u dont mind it reminded me of you. Ill let you know if i get another girlfriend which i probably wont but u never kno. i want to beleive it isnt true so hard liek open my eyes and just c u there. so whenever i c a tall athletic girl ill always think of u. or whenever i c a basketball layin around. im sry 4 not listing when you were helping me with basketball, if u were still here i would try to finnaly make a three pointer when you were looking. i kno u were like 5′11 so ill c if i can make 6′0. remember when Jeremy was talking about how u were like 5′11 and he said lindsey hunter was like 5′12 and u paused and slowly said, thats 6′0. lol. i will miss you dearly and i will never forget the last pistons game i watched with you or the last words we ever said to eachother, the last icecream we ever ate, the last wet willie you ever gave me or the last
huge smile you ever gave me. u were the greatest dude. and on Momorial day when i asked you to play our special song…….you never did. so you and i can play it up in heaven when i get there.

Ill c u there Ro
With Uncontrollable Love,

Ro,
here i am again unable to fall asleep and so i find myself back at the computer even though i have to say me and Shauna had a very intresting conversation. hey i wanted to c if u remembered that one time when u got yelled at and u were in ur room and u tied a bunch of belts together and u flung them out the window. u walked downstairs in a whole bunch of padding and you told us “i seem to have dropped my escape tool”. lol. hey i wanted to thank you 4 the nice christmas gift u game me that one year. u remember the James Bond game? u kno i loved to play that game a whole lot. right now i need a hug from u really bad. and i kno al of your friends need hugs also. well u have some awsome friends Ro and i want u to kno that there always there 4 u when u need them. i dont kno weather you will even read this but i want u to kno that i u sure have some awsome friends. i have never seen people care about someone as much as these guys care about u. i hope you dont mind that ive grown a tighter bond with some of your friends. Remember the last game of horse we played together? i was one shot away from my first victory against u and i shot the ball straight out of bounce. AIR BALL. wait till i get up there, be prepared because u better bring ur paper and pencil because ur about to get schooled! u remember when we would play one on one and i would always say that but then u would pack me all the time. u better start calling me the lunch box. get it? pack me. god im talking like as if ur standing right next to me. and that Zip fizz that we bought i kno u never cared 4 it and u said it was a bad energy drink so im going to stop using it just 4 u. i dont need an energy drink with all that crap in it. hey i know u wanted to sell thoses baceball cards and u said i would get 10% but if its ok i wouldnt like to sell them. it would be a rememberance to me. i offered Shauna to have your iPod but she wanted me to keep it. u kno shes a sweet friend Ro? when we get to heaven u better call us q because we invnted those nicknames. but i kno u two had something special goin on. i remember the last joke u ever told me so i told it to the guys at skool and it was a big hit. i looked up to litataly and mentaly. u always welcomed me to ur dorm room and offered me to anything i wanted. now all i want is u. i promise u i wouldnt let u go. u have a nice funeral setup u kno? i was lookin at ur computer hope you dont mind i kno you dont like anyone touching ur computer but i saw all the pictures of u and ur friends and it looked nice. whenever i walk into your room it serves as a constant reminder of all the accomplishments u made. theres athlete of the week 4 like every week in 7th and 8th grade. u were on student council 4 like ever sence u were so SMRT. lol. u kno its not the same without you. before i got the news i thought it could b nothing serious because u could handle anything beause u wee tough and u let nothing happen to you, u always kept a steady head. but it wasnt your fault that you died because you have to remember that god had a purpous 4 u. but it pains me to think that i will never again be embrace by your loving hugs or your touching smile. when mom and dad told me u didnt make it the first thing i felt was nothing. your body goes into a weird mode and like shuts down until somebody speaks the next words. then i felt everything and i knew it was going to be a roller coaster ride throughout this next few months. so Ro remember when u bought that basketball garbage can and i told you to think of me whenever u threw something away. then u made a joke about that as im sure u remember. not kool dude. and i would always put a pair of socks with your stuff so u would have no other choice but to take it with you and i would always put a note on it so u always knew it was my pair of socks. i have been meaning to count the blocks to get to the Pulks house just like you used to do. Havnt got around to going that yet seeing as though there has been so much stuff goin on as you can very well imagine. dad says i have to go to bed after sending u this post and im sure u would probably type all morning so you wouldnt have to go to bed. i still want to talk to u in some way. i kno how much u hated the Ouija board and now i’ve devoloped a disliking 4 it also. i dont kno when you want to communicate with me but im sure when your ready u will. i cant wait. i just need a sign to kno that ur lookin down at me smiling right now u kno? i still have the snowglobe u got in the first grade and i c that the water turned brown.�

i kno how much u liked to go out on the lake and i kno how much you were planing on doing with your life and i want u to kno im sorry about everything i’ve ever done to u. but u kno how it is. u say sry when its 2 late. u just…..wait too long to say it and u are just 2 late. i just want u to b happy with whatever u are doin in heaven right now and i want u to kno that i still wanna ball it up like u could always do. u hade the best fade away i’ve ever seen and i love it. it looked so graceful. everything u did was graceful dude. u were great. thankx 4 cleaning up the kitchen 4 momorial day breakfast. the 1…2…3… NOT IT thing was unnecessary at this time. so now u left me here looking after Kaleigh mom and dad i dont want to b the one to have to bury mom and dad but like i say u cant cheat fate. you take it as it comes and u make the best out of it. im always gunna b thinkin about u day in and day out so i just wanted u to know that. and that coke u owed me for when i cleanded the boat last summer. forget about it. ill just go to heaven and laugh because im probably going to end up owing u one at the end of the basketball game after i will probably bet that if i win Ro would give me a coke. but its fine. i wanna b liek u Ro. u were always happy and you touched the lives of so many and if i had one wish i would wish that you were back in the loving arms of your family and friends. im not feeling so goo but im staying strong because i kno u would stay strong 4 me. so u go back to doing whatever it was that u were doing. i kno u must b gettin tired of these long posts. lol. I would ask u how heaven is but if u had anything to do with the sunset Shauna saw then i kno it must be great.

With all my love 4 ever and ever
Kyle Rowland Roberts�

Ro,
its been 4 days sence u left me. Monday keeps replaying in my head and i cant get it out. Hey i want to thank you 4 giving me the sign last night, i really needed that and i was so happy. some of my friends came to ur funeral. i didnt ask them too but even they too were even touched by you. i want to say the word impacted but then i think of your head hitting the seadoo…. these next few months will suck without you. i was planning on doing so much with you, i was going to ball it up with you and u kno play catch which i was so afraid to do because i though it would hit me in the face. i would then comment on your face being smashed by a softball and you would tell me to suck it up if it ever hit me. Steve and i are gunna workout, ball it up and hopefully run. i need to run to b as fast as u Ro. i kno that i would never have your endurance but i kno i can work on it. i was gunna ask u to run over the summer u kno in the Villa? ive been thinkin over the past few days how life woud be right now if you didnt…u kno. would i have gone to school? yes most definatly. your friends are a wreck dude. u gotta go give them comfort i kno they need it. i need comfort but i receive it by talking to u, or typing to u. o whatever. i think its pretty kool that you got ur black belt. i think u deserved it more than anything and i kno u would of done just about anything to earn it. i respect u 4 that dude. i cant help but wonder what you were thinking when u jumped that wave…knowing u u were probably like “ok just like i always land back on the seadoo” but u and i both know thats not what happend. what do i gotta do to get u back Ro? u want me to jump through a ring of fire. or maybe u would prefer me walking over hot coals? i kno you would want no harm to come to me so i kno these are no options. im staying strong 4 u Ro. if i stay strong nobody will ever c that im crying my eyes out in the inside and need comfort. but like i said i get it by typing/talking to u. i never thanked you 4 showing up at my wrestling tournaments. im so sorry i missed that. i loved you there and i kno u always told me to go out there and do your best and i always did and i’ve won almost everyone u were at u the second year. i wanted to show you that i was strong like you. so i guess Shauna is going to adopt me for lil sibs weekend. it would b so different without u but i can still try to have fun u kno. wow i say that alot. u kno? c those words (u kno )can mean many things. it can mean….. well i never accualy thought of wut it means but it remindes me of u in some way i still cant comprehend. anyway as i sit here rambling just trying to make u read yet another long post i have to think of a song. When Im Gone. by Eminen. i kno it dosnt pretain to u but i still have to put the lyrics in your name and sing it about u. just like that song by cascade or something like that. Everytime We Touch. u kno i loved the beat in that song i was just trying to hide it. just like DHT Listen to your Heart. i loved the beat in that song too and it was only after i told u i liked the beat to DHT that you concluded i like techno. then u would always play satisfaction and we would laugh 4 hours. im going to miss your laugh and i wish i had a video of u talking and laughing so i have an everlasting memory. but now u exist in pictures, Mizz’s video of u boxing, and memory. i dont kno if there is a video o u talking i mean i kno u did a lot of sports but really u were so concernd about the game u never spoke. i kno the strong bond u have with your friends and even though ur not here physically u can still ball it up with us. even though ur gone they’ll still visit and im afraid i can never be to them what u were to them. i guess its starting relationships all over again only i have the honor of hanging out with ur awsome and loving friends. but i could never take ur place and i kno that they still would like u to b there mentally. sry dad walked in and it screwed up my mental thinking. hold up. ok. well i guess i will b spending time with your friends just like u used to do with them only not as much. but when i first thought about it after u walked out of my life i thought all of your friends came with you because its like i am so used to seeing them because ur always doing something with them and now that your gone they might not come over quite so frequently but i’ve realised that they loved all of us the way they loved you. u have amazing friends Ro, they are always there 4 u whenever u need a friend. its crazy how many friends u could have but i know that they fell in love with ur witty personality and ur gracious love. over the years i beleive we have bonded enough to be called best friends. i always followed u like a shadow and u would tell me when we went to the store “go down some other isle dude” i always understood so i would go down some other isle. u have tought me so much Ro and i dont know how im going to make it throught ur funeral. but i can just think that ur lookin down at us which i kno u are. ur favorite thing u would always say when something went wrong with ur computer “are u joking”! im gunna miss hearing u say that because it ment that i could come to aid u and ask wut was wrong. i always was intrested in what u were doing because u and i both kno i looked up to u. i wanted to do everything just like u. hey before i forget thanks 4 shaving my head. u remember u said i could have as many haircuts as i wanted on one condition. if i let u rub my peach fuz. so as i wrap this up because the computer is acting up so im afraid i will lose all my data i just wanna saythanks Ro….4 everything u have tought me about friendship to life.

Changing my life sence day 1
Kyle Rowland Roberts�

Shauna,
i want u to kno that im thinking about u q. ur really nice and i feel your pain. not in the same sence no but i share your sorrow. im starting to drive myself mad because i sit and cant sleep at night. u and i cope with the facts a lil differently but we share the same feelings as to wut Ro is doing right now. so whenever u wanna come over and watch a movie, shoot hoops or just wanna talk u know where to get me. i might need some water u kno?

Love always
Q

Ro,
im writing this to you to tell u about some things ive been feeling. i dont even kno wut im thinking right now u kno? its been different without you, so different. you’ll be happy to know that D, Sills,Shannon, Shauna and everybody else are being so strong. as i write this to u i keep replaying the casket closing and u being put in the vault. its weird after 18 yrs i can lose u so fast. we’ve had our ups and downs and i kno im not always perfect. i heard today that u thought of me as your idol? i never knew u thought of me as your idol. thats kinda kool. i has always wanted to play ball like u but i know i have a lot of catching up to do. i dont kno wut else to say. but maybe saying nothing is best. i kno ur always with us and i kno that i say that alot but i just kno its true. i am going to be teaching Shauna how to ball over the summer. i kno if u were still here u would teach her but ill give u a hand. we’ll we might also watch some movies and order chinese food. i kno that, that would b alright with u. and ps this dosnt count as my long post. that comes later.

Ro,
i thought i would leave u this post a little early because i kno that i too have to get some sleep. its been crazy and i need a good long rest. we all had to say goodbye to u today but u kno i didnt because u were never gone. we did get to visit the crypt where we saw all the things the guys put over u. like the rolls of tape. lol. u used tape like everyday 4 ur body and they said that if they knew that they would have put an extra roll in 4 u. these last few posts have been very difficult to write because i think of all the stuff thats been going on and all. your friends are AMAZING. they are all so compasionate (spelling). i swear i have never seen a funeral as big as urs Ro. they would go to the ends of the world 4 u and i think thats the best quality friends could have u kno? so anyway there great. Friends, D, u were being so strong and caring and u were doing a fantastic job by the way. Sills, u were with D all the way, caring and strong. u 2 never showed weakness a very key element of friendship. and the posse. not even death can split these friends apart. i love how u all love eachother so much. Curtis, Mizz, Steve and Moe, u guys are half of the reason 4 gettin me through the week always wantin to shoot some hoops to take my mind off things. and the Albion family, i can remember lil sibs weekend. i was nervous but then realising there was nothing to lose i went 4 it. u guys were great. u never thought twice before greating me with open arms and i realised how lucky Ro was to have u guys. and by the way i loved playing cards with u guys and watching u guys throw string cheese on doorknobs. lol. So all in all i just wanted to say that Ro was very, very, VERY lucky to have u guys. u guys just show so much love and in my eyes i think thats awsome. u guys are all angels just like Ro. and i kno that just becasue Ro has physicaly left us that dosent mean that MaRo, PaRo, KaRo and I will b gettin rid of u guys. so i kno i speak 4 all of us when i say to come on over and visit. In most ways, friendship between teens isn’t any different than friendship at any other time in our life. Still, adolescence is a tumultuous time, and teens often rely on their friends to be the only ones in the world that seem to understand them. And that can only serve to strengthen an already powerful bond. Author unkown.
So thanks all of u guys 4 helping to make Ro the wonderful person she is today and helping her 4 the road ahead as im sure she has helped you guys greatly 4 the road ahead in your lives.

Kyle Rowland Roberts

Ro,
im crying, im finally crying. i cracked and now im a wreck. i keep thinking about what Mr.Jeffire said in his speach about me being your hero. you never told me u thought i was your hero. this is just too hard now. knowing i will never get to see your bright shining face ever again or knowing that your not away at college. your gone and i finally realise that. i cant take it dude. i want SO BAD to redo monday. i would just say that the seadoos are out of gas and u couldnt ride them. Tomorrow at 12:30 it will be one week sister. it may have taken me one week to realise that your gone but i wish Monday never happend in the first place. your last words are buzzing in my head “ill be back in a few minutes”. thats hard to think about. now i finally understand. I love you Kolleen. and i never told u this or anyone else, but u were my hero.

Kyle Rowland Roberts
