Ruth
The ride down to the station was pretty quiet. I was thinking about Martin and I wasn't sure what Simon was thinking about.
"I'm sorry about Rose" I said softly as Simon glanced at me briefly before turning his attention to the road and saying "don't be. I'm not. I probably should have never married her"
"Why did you?"
"Well she wasn't bad all the time, you know?"
"I guess" I replied uncertainly.
Once we got to the station the police said that Sandy wanted to speak to us separately.
"Who wants to go first?" the cop asked us.
"I will" Simon said as he walked to the room.
The cop glanced at me again and said "So are still still engaged to Martin Brewer?"
"Yes" I replied looking at him as his face fell and he mumbled "Oh, well congratulations"
"Thanks" I replied smiling brightly.
A few minutes later Simon walked out looking like he was going to murder someone.
"Simon!"I called out and he said "Look Ruth, I'm going to have Kevin pick you up. I can't stay right now"
I walked in the room where Sandy was steamed.
"Well hello again Ruth" Sandy drawled though she didn't have any expression on her face.
"What did you tell Simon?"
"You'll find out soon enough" she said as she looked at me suddenly and said "Did you ever notice the similarity between you and that brat?"
"Yes but..."
"You know Ruth between you and I, Martinwas never really on the up and up you know. I figure he would never get it but you... You are so damn astute."
"How long did you know that Martin was not the father?"
"All along" Sandy yelled as she stood up and started pacing.
"What do you mean?"
"Look Martin and I never slept together"
"But he said..."
"I know what he said! I told him what to say. He was drunk and it was the night he realized that he was in love with you. He spent the whole time talking about how great you were and how wonderful you smelt, it was sickening" Sandy stopped and looked at me before continuing "and then I tried to kiss him and he kissed me back and then murmured how much he loved me and then repeated it and said 'I love you so much Ruth'"
"So you slept with him out of what?" I interrupted angrily.
"Ruth! I thought we went over this. I did not sleep with Martin. He is still a virgin, just like you I presume. When he passed out I took off his clothes and laid him on my bed, then I went and slept with Simon"
"Excuse me?" I interrupted loudly as I stood up as well.
"Ruth, Simon is Elizabeth's father"
