Chapter 7
June 3
Chuck and Beth sat on their couch in each other's arms.
"It feels so good to be out of jail," Beth said. "I'm so glad you got Rosemary to confess."
"The police are probably arresting her right now," Chuck said smiling.
"I hope she gets institutionalized," Beth said.
"Me too," Chuck said.
"Did you get the mail?" Beth asked.
"Does yesterday count?" Chuck asked.
"I'll get it," Beth said.
Beth got up and walked outside to the mailbox as a police car pulled up. Two male police officers got out of the car.
"Beth Scolnik?" one of the officer's asked.
"Yes," Beth replied.
"I'm Officer Jaymes and this is Officer Heard," the officer said.
"Can I help you?" Beth asked.
"I'm afraid we have some bad news regarding Rosemary Lissing," Officer Heard said.
"What did that bitch do this time?" Beth asked.
"Miss Lissing is dead," Officer Jaymes said.
"What?" Beth asked shocked.
"She was found in her bed and a suicide note was discovered in the living room," Officer Heard explained.
"How did she…" Beth started to ask.
"She overdosed on Benadryl," Officer Jaymes replied.
Chuck walked outside over to them.
"What's going on?" Chuck asked.
"Rosemary's dead Chuck," Beth said. "She overdosed on Benadryl."
Chuck gasped.
"Was it accidental?" Chuck asked.
"I'm afraid not," Officer Heard replied. "We found a suicide note."
"This is all my fault," Chuck said.
"Excuse me?" Officer Jaymes asked.
"I went to her house yesterday to trick her into confessing that she set Beth up," Chuck said. "She said if I took the recorded confession to the police, she'd kill herself."
"She said that?" Beth asked.
"I thought she was just being stupid and saying that to save her own butt," Chuck said. "I didn't think she actually meant she was going to kill herself. This is all my fault!"
Beth hugged her husband tightly.
"It's not your fault," Beth said. "It's not your fault."
