Flashback

Adrian had reluctantly gone back to work. He didn't want to be Trudy insisted it was important for their lives not to focus on her illness. The doctor made it clear that the more she concentrated on everyday normal life the quicker she would recover. That day he had just come back from lunch when she was brought in… in handcuffs. His eyes bulged to the top of his head.

"EXCUSE ME," he said in a not so polite tone to the arresting officer, "what in the hell do you think you're doing"

"Monk," the captain said, "calm down"

"C-calm down. How the hell am I supposed to calm down? My wife is in handcuffs and I know she didn't do anything"

"No technically she didn't but she is a suspect in the Good-sense case. She was seen leaving the restaurant right before the murder"

"YEAH HER AND ABOUT 140 OTHER PEOPLE WERE SEEN LEAVING THE RESTAURANT RIGHT BEFORE THE MURDER. I DON'T SEE 139 OTHER PEOPLE HERE"

"It was easiest to start with her," Randy explained, "besides she was wearing a red bracelet and the bracelet was found next to the body and she's not wearing a bracelet

"It fell off," she argued, "I didn't realize until a little while ago"

"It's ridiculous to even think that," Adrian screamed about to have a fit. He couldn't believe they would suspect his wife of doing anything un-pure. In his eyes she was and always would be perfect.

"Look, it's a quarter to one," he said, "and she has a chemo appointment in 30 minutes AND it takes 45 minutes to get there with traffic"

"I'm sorry," Randy said, "but someone needs to be in those handcuffs"

"Fine," he said grabbing the key from Randy and removing the cuffs from her, "then put them on me"

"Monk," the Captain pointed out, "you're afraid of those things"

"I really," he said closing the first part of it, "don't care. I will NOT have my wife in handcuffs"

Randy sighed and helped him close the other part of it.

"I'm sorry," he mouthed.

After Trudy left for her chemo session the Captain asked, "so you really believe she's innocent"

"Of course she's innocent," he insisted

"You have to admit," the captain said, "all signs point to her."

"I don't think so," Adrian said, "but even if they do that doesn't mean she did it"

"Monk you're not thinking clearly"
"Oh I'm thinking VERY clearly,"

"Okay," the captain said, "but those cuffs don't come off until you figure out who really did it or admit that she was the one"

Flashback ends

"Wow," Benji said amazed, "and you stayed in those handcuffs for…"

"3 days," Monk told him, "that was how long it too to find the real killer"

"You're awesome," Benji told him

Monk laughed and told Benji he was pretty awesome himself

The train stopped and Harold got on
