And things get weird from there.Īndy is sarcastic, a smart mouth, and definitely not the hero type. After all, any guy who’d come out of hiding to reunite with his dog, use his one phone call to assure the dog’s happiness and safety, deserves all the help he can get. The police are there, curious to find out how Alex survived, got to shore, and stayed “dead.” He’s arrested, but his one phone call is to Beth, to make sure Aggie is in a loving home and is safe.Īndy takes Alex’s case.
