Oh You're the Detective
Exactly 4 more days passed since the murder of Lane and Zack Gerbig. Tristan was pulling hairs out. They still couldn't find who did this, they had a few suspects but it just seemed so out of character for the folks of Stars Hollow. He needed to solve this case, he needed to know, and he needs to for Rory. Rory and he haven't spoken since their long night talking in Lorelai kitchen. He enjoyed talking to his Mary that night and learning a little bit about Rory's past. Here he was at the station, with papers piled up on his desk, and a meeting about to take place. He had nothing much to tell his team in regards to the murder.
Tristian entered the meeting room full of officers waiting to hear him go over the case. " Lets get started, now Stars Hollow is a quaint little town, there hasn't' been something this tragedy in many years." Tristan stated.
"Whats the background for our victims, could that clue us in on enemies" asked officer Joe.
Tristan responded" Well Lane comes from a strict religious background, her mother Mrs. Kim raised her in Stars Hollow, and didn't approve of her daughter's adult lifestyle" Tristan flipped the board over to show clues, photos, facts, and such on the board. " Zack was raised as well in Stars Hollow, but he and Lane did not meet until they formed a band together after High School"
Officer Clark " So I'm gather that when Lane turned into a legal Adult, she left her Mothers to live her life in a way that Mrs. Kim would not approve of? Could Mrs. Kim be a suspect"
Tristan looked at Clark strangely " I can easily rule out Mrs. Kim, she was in true shock seeing her daughters dead body lying on the floor, she had a alibi as well"
" Hmm..Well you said a band correct?" asked another member of the team.
" Help Alien. The band consisted of Zack, Lane, Brian, and a older man named Gil" Tristan saw hands raised.." Please pause all questions. I would like to go over the rest that I know, before we dig into questions and start debating".
" Mrs. Kim did not agree with her daughters new life, but she did help Lane and Zack. She setup a Tour for their band, help arrange two weddings, and continued to have a relationship with her daughter. Two weddings occurred because the grandma came to town and wanted a budha type wedding, than they had the mothers traditional wedding. Now, I would say our next step would be to track down any information we can about nearby family or the family members that traveled to Stars Hollow for the wedding. I believe one of them could have had a major problem with this couple. I will be in Stars Hollow looking over the scene and speaking with the band mates." Tristan thought for a moment. " I would like someone to research family history. Questions now"
" Why would some family members have an issue with this couple marrying"
" Gee Rick, I wouldn't' think a Koren woman marrying a white Man, living a lifestyle the mom doesn't approve of, would be a major clue" replied Rachel.
Tristan loved his job, he loved doing meeting, debating, discussing, and solving but he needed a drink and to see Rory again. " Lets try to remain polite, but yes Rachel is correct. The victims were poison, we just need to know how and who did it. "
"Where did the poison come from" asked Ricky an older man who's been at the job for a long time.
" The poison we aren't entirely sure, but we know it was consumed within a food or a drink. We will be re-visiting the crime scene, and inspecting the times removed from the scene for evidence.
Tristan was pleased to see Captain Morgan step into the meeting room" Detective Dudgrey you have a call, I'll Take over. Go get a drink while you're at it, you look dreadful"
Lorelai and Rory were at Luke's which is the place they spend almost all their time. The Dinner wasn't very busy, Luke was cleaning, while Lorelai rambled on about some nonsense.
" Mom..please..that's just not right" Rory replied
" Well you know what they say..." Lorelei replied back..while waving hr empty mug in the air" Luke, Please give Wifey some more coffee"
" You don't need anymore, I'm cutting you off" Luke stated in his grouchy voice.
" Please don't do that Luke, I have to go home with that. That is not fun with no coffee. Mom without Coffee is horrible!" Rory pleaded in a playful voice
" Um well Rory, I do have to go home with Your Mother as well. Dam your right. Here is your Coffee" Luke took her mug which Lorelai was still waving in the air, he sat it down and poured coffee into her cup. " Oh Luke, I love you, you can keep me company. If you had cut me off from my Coffee my plan was to kick you out of bed and have Paul ankle join me"
" Paul ankle mom"
" So my lovely daughter, you have yet to tell me about your dreamy conversation with 21 Jump Street" Lorelai teased Rory.
" 21 Jump Street mom!" Rory grinned.
" Well Hello, surely my sweet child your not blind to that' boys charming good look. He is very young to be a detective sweetie"
Rory just stared at her. " OH come on hun, he's like a young Johnny depp. He was so sexy on 21 Jump Street!"
" Woah calm down Mom, do remember we are morning Lane and Zack tomorrow, and your married"
" I know sweetie, but we have to go on with life, Lane would want you to keep Rock n Rollin, and Luke is aware of my love for handsome actors"
" Mom, Tristan is different now, more serious. I'll tell you about our talk latter. I have to go now, that's all I'm saying for now" Rory rushed off. She loved leaving her mom hanging wanting more details.
Tristan had pulled up to Lane and Zacks apartment building, he was getting out of his car when he caught sight of Rory leaving Luke's diner.
" Hey..Mary"he shouted to get her attention. Rory seen him and walked over to his vehicle.
" Detective, I'm happy to see you, why are you here? Rory was curious, she was hoping he would have time to talk with her some more.
" Maybe I just needed to see my Mare, truthfully I'm here to investigate more" Tristan sounded kinda of sad.
" Oh, that would explain why you are parked at their apartment building.
" Listen, could you meet me tonight for Dinner, we can talk some more, maybe kiss a little, or you know just catch up" Tristan asked Rory.
" Well I see some things never change, I don't know about the kissing, but yes I would love to go out with you tonight"
" Great Rory, I'll pick you at your mothers around 6:30. " He caught her glancing at Lanes apartment building. " I am sorry about your friends, my team is working hard "
" Thanks Detective, I'll see you tonight" Rory smiled than walked away.
