Tomb of the Unkown Love

K, this is set just after Kristina leaves Tony for John. It's just going to be a one shot, unless someone tells me they would like to see something more in depth. I own nothing, and make no money off this. But for the record Mr. Corday, if you ever get sick of owning Tony. I'll give him a good home. Thanks for reading and remeber flames are bad! Oh yeah Kenny Rogers owns the song.

"One time I drove to see a girl across the country.
One night as I was driving, through New Mexico
I had the windows wide open
It was cold and I was crying "


Tony DiMera, drove his car without regard for the speed limit or much of anything else. He was on his way to somewhere he never had thought he'd have to go. He could still see, Bart and one of this other employees looking at him with shock and dread. Tony didn't have time to let his mind wonder back to that. No Tony needed to stop and fill up the gas tank. He still had a long way to go before he got to where he need to get.


And I laid her letter on the radio.
So I stopped outside of Taos in this tiny mining town
At a dinner to refill for the ride
And in the wind I heard this crying
Like a heart broke right in two
I turned up my collar and went inside


Tony saw a dinner with a gas station, he pulled in and got out to fill up the tank. He was in a hurry to get to where he needed to. He was also a bit hungry, he was trying not to think about it all.


Where I say this smiling waitress joshing friendly with these truckers
I said Miss what's that awful crying everybody laughed and said
Its the tomb of the unknown love
And they pointed out the window to a stone
All by it's self beneath a tree beside a hill
And on that winter night I read these words alone
These words that are haunting me still
It said.....


Here lies a young man
Struck down in his prime
By the awesome burning power of love
He couldn't stand to see his true love cheating
So he shoot the girl down
They hung him from the tree right above


It didn't take long for Tony to reach his destination at least that's how he saw it. He just remembered parking his car, and heading into the house. Tony hadn't remembered even saying anything that night.


He knew he had told Bart and his other assistant over his cell to just go home. As they had called him just moments before he had gone in. Saying something about how it wasn't worth it. To just let it all go, she was a slut. In the words of his female empoyee. Not worth his time or anything else. Tony had just screamed she was not a slut, she was his. After that the only thing he heard was crying.

I know that local folks say its the wind
But I know its crying
From the tomb of the unknown love
Well I drove to my destination

Tony hadn't been sure what he had hoped for. Would they be there together? Would he see that which had ripped; his heart out the first time he had walked in on it? The only thing he knew was that he needed to go into that house.


In the end he had to throw his cell phone into the bushes. Seemed as if Bart and her were not taking his decision well. But it wasn't for them to make it was his and he making it. Tony hadn't been sure of what she had screamed through her sobs. He had thrown his phone before her or Bart could finish. He had wondered about that as he had been taken away by the cops latter.


I did the job my heart demanded of me
And when the sheriff's sirens came I didn't even try and fight it
They counted ten and I came out at three


Tony just sat in his cell and stared off into space. He didn't feel much at this point, he supposed that it didn't matter anyway. The trial had been quick, not more than a week. He had told his lawyers to piss off, that had shocked them. He had also band anyone from seeing him, he didn't want visitors.

So I guess tomorrow morning the warden'll read some kind of paper
How I'm going to pay the state for what I've done then
they'll put shackles on me and we'll take a little walk
They won't have to drag me cause it's said and done


The execution chamber had been packed fill up. So many people had showed up one would have thought it was a party. Most of them were in party like colors, dressed in up scale clothing better than most people's Sunday best. Only two people were in all black, and from the looks at least one of them. Was thinking about committing a few murders, despite the stupidity of doing so.


And maybe someday they can put me up a stone
All by it's self beneath a tree beside a hill
And lovers everywhere can come and read along
These words that will give them a chill
And it'll say...
Here lies a young man
Struck down in his prime
By the awesome burning power of love
He couldn't stand to see his true love cheating
So he shoot the girl down
They hung him from the tree right above

The room had gone cold for at least two people. Both were thinking something similar thoughts. Once the count had been pronounced dead, they had stopped breathing. It had been then that someone had made the mistake of saying something about him. What happend next, was debateable no one could make heads or tails of it.


I know that local folks say it's the wind
But I know it's crying
From the Tomb of the Unknown Love
Yeah I know that local folks say it's the wind
But I know it's crying
From the Tomb of the Unknown Love

Everyone had run from the room. Something had died in two people, as dead as Tony was. The bodies of Bo and Hope Brady were still hot as they looked on. The bradys blood on their hands, was starting to cool and become sticky.

The two of them just walked out a few minutes later. Their thoughts the same, they had something to do, and they were in a hurry to do so. John Black won't be crying much longer over Kristen, he wasn't long for this world much longer. What happend after that was for the fates to decided, the two of them didn't much care.

One of them had lost a boss, someone who had been very important to him. Bart had spent years working for both Stefano an the Count. He had liked the Count a hell of a lot more than his old man. The other had lost a boss, an something much more. She had never been able to say it, but he had been her world. Now the only thing they both wanted was revenge for their lose. If somehow they got out of it all alive, then so be it.
