Lillian Gregowits sat in her car at the red light, just miles away from the address that she had been given for Kelly Garrett. It was the point where she had turned around every other day that week. Today would be different though, today she was going to actually talk to Kelly. As she turned the corner onto Kelly's street, Lillian could feel her stomach muscles tightening in anticipation. She had no idea what to expect. Up to that point, she had yet to see a picture of Kelly. She had only read about her in the descriptions that she had been given.
When she pulled up to the house, there was a Mustang in the driveway, and a Cobra II parked on the street in front of the house. Right away Lillian assumed that Kelly's boyfriend must be over with a friend. She didn't see any other cars around though, and hoped that that didn't mean that Kelly wasn't home.
As she walked up to the front door, she could feel her heart racing. What was she going to say to this woman, after all, the last time she saw Kelly, Kelly was just an infant. She knocked, and almost immediately she could her footsteps approaching the door on the other side. This was it. As the door opened, a young blonde was standing in front of Lillian. Could this woman be Kelly Garrett? It couldn't be.
"Um, is a Miss Kelly Garrett home." Lillian decided to ask, just in case that was Kelly.
"Yeah, sure, hold on." She was shouting into the house now "Kel., you were wrong, it wasn't Bre, it's some lady for you."
On that note, a tall brunette woman entered the scene. Now surely this could be Kelly.
"Kelly Garrett?" Lillian asked the second woman. She wanted to make sure that this wasn't someone else answering the door for her.
"Yes." Kelly replied. Her voice was soft, and Lillian just couldn't get past how beautiful she was. By this time, the blonde had walked away from them and Lillian was glad. It wasn't that she had anything against her, she didn't even know her, she just wanted to be alone with Kelly now.
"Hi Kelly. My name is Lillian Gregowits. I received your address from a detective agency in Dallas. You see, I'm your mother." Lillian had decided to be blunt with this news, if anything, so that Kelly didn't slam the door on her feeling her time was being wasted. Strangely enough however, Kelly had no emotion on her face after hearing this. At least, she didn't until the blonde girl came back into the picture.
"Is everything all right Kel.?" the blonde asked her. She was obviously a friend of Kelly's.
"Huh, yeah. Do me a favor Kris and call Charlie and see if he's heard from Sabrina. She should have been back by now." Kelly instructed the blonde. Lillian couldn't help but to wonder who this Charlie was that Kelly so casually mentioned. Probably her boyfriend. With Kris out of the picture again though, Lillian could go back to waiting for Kelly's reaction to her news.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Kelly asked, pretending she didn't hear her. So maybe Kelly was in shock, and that's why she hadn't responded.
"You heard me correctly Kelly, I am your mother."
"That's impossible. My mother is dead." Lillian could sense some anger in Kelly's voice now. Maybe being blunt wasn't the best approach after all.
"That's what everyone thought Kelly. There was so much chaos, and I was unconscious. I couldn't identify you, I didn't even get the chance until after they sent you away. I tried so hard to find you though. I searched all of the orphanages, but you weren't at any of them. Then I heard about the fire, and right away I knew you had been there. With your records lost though, finding you became almost impossible. Until now that is." Lillian was desperate to get Kelly to believe her. Kelly even seemed to be thinking about it, until that blonde came back.
"You were right Kel. Sabrina called Charlie a little over two hours ago when she arrived at Tompkin's house. She was suppose to call him back when she left, but she never did and she's not answering her phone. Charlie thinks we should go check it out." Whoever this blonde chick was, she needed to learn the priorities in life. This Sabrina could wait, Lillian needed to talk to Kelly now.
"OK. Go grab my purse for me, would you." Kelly replied. Lillian was shocked. She tells Kelly that she's her long lost mother and now she was going to run off with this bimbo. Lillian could now see that she had a lot to teach Kelly.
"You have to leave." Kelly then told Lillian, who still couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"What, no. We have to talk Kelly, now." Lillian was trying to be as strict about this as possible. She understood that Kelly was an adult, but this was unacceptable.
"I'm sorry. If you really want to talk though, meet me at Guido's diner tomorrow around 12 o'clock. We can talk there." And then, with that said Kelly and the blonde left the house, and got into the Mustang before speeding off. Having no reason to stay there, Lillian got into her own car and decided to head back to the hotel where she was staying.
She couldn't believe how many things she needed to teach Kelly. First off, that car was not appropriate for a young lady, and then the speed that she left with. All of that would have to be corrected.
Accepting the fact that this was apparently the place where Kelly had decided to settle down though, Lillian decided to watch the news that evening to see what went on there. The first several minutes consisted of the news that plagued all cities: murders, robberies, scandals, nothing out of the ordinary. Then came a story about a hostage in a house in the outskirts of the city.
As Lillian watched the interview with the young lady, she noticed the blonde chick that was at Kelly's house in the background, and she was holding a gun! Lillian couldn't see clearly, but she appeared to be standing with a group of police officers as they arrested the suspect. Could it be that Kelly's friend was a female cop! That defiantly couldn't be allowed. It didn't end there though. After the young lady was done being interviewed, the camera followed her as she walked back over toward the blonde, but stopped a couple inches away so she could talk to someone else. As the camera got closer, Lillian realized that that person was Kelly, and she too was holding a gun, two of them actually, one of which she handed to the young lady! Lillian couldn't believe this! What had Kelly gotten herself into? Whatever it was, it was unacceptable, by all standards, and she would make a point to bring it up at their meeting the following day.
