Five months later...

Word eventually got out about Riggs and Palmer expecting. Everyone was excited for them. Riggs escorted her to doctors appointments and even stood over her place just to keep an eye on her. He was truly excited for the new chapter in his life.

Months went by and Palmer was five months in before she knew it. Little by little, she was starting to show; obviously, she started to gain a couple of pounds but she still looked beautiful. At one doctor's appointment, the doctor was checking out her stomach on the monitor. Riggs held Palmer's hand as if he was anxious. She took note of that.

"Baby, relax." She chuckled.

"Sorry...just anxious, I guess." He replied.

"Your daughter is coming along nicely." The doctor said.

That made Riggs and Palmer look up.

"Daughter? It's a girl?" Riggs asked.

"No, honey, it's a goat." Palmer laughed.

The doctor laughed at the two and said, "Yes. Congratulations. You're having a little girl."

Riggs and Palmer both smiled a big smile. Teary eyed from excitement, they hugged one another and gushed over the fact they were going to have a little girl.

I'm pregnant. Martin and I are beyond excited to be starting our little family. The only down fall is that I'm gaining lots of weight and my clothes barely fit anymore. None of that matters to Martin though; he calls be beautiful and even tells me my pregnancy curves are sexy. Before he leaves for work, he kisses me and kisses my belly telling Alessandra he loves her. Of course I can't wait to start our family. We both decided once our daughter is born, we are relocating to the country side. The house I was looking at has a lake in the backyard, overlooks a beautiful view of the mountains...it's basically the perfect home for us to raise our family. Martin told me once Alessandra is born, he will retire from being a detective and start our own farm and be a farmer. I'm glad he's doing it because he will always be safe. We decided to wait after Alessandra is born to get married. Our wedding is going to be small with just us present. This is the biggest step in our lives and I cannot wait to start our family. My mother always told I wouldn't amount to anything. But I know she is wrong. I hate her and I hate my father so much. Once Alessandra is born, they will not see her.

Denise closed her diary and laid on her bed.

"Oh, Martin, please take me out of this life..."

A week later...

Roger walked into the office holding boxes of donuts and coffee for the break room. As he was struggling to open the door, Riggs just sat there and looked at him. Finally, Roger got into the break room and placed the coffee and donuts on the table.

"Oh you needed help back there?" Riggs asked.

"No..." Roger answered sarcastically, "I was just trying to entertain you with a new dance move called, 'trying to open the door and making sure the donuts and coffee don't fall on the floors while Riggs does nothing!'"

Taken aback, Riggs says, "If you needed help, all you had to do was ask."

Riggs took a donut and ate it slowly in front of Roger, "Mmm...Boston Creme..."

Roger gave Riggs a look. Avery walked into the break room and looked at Riggs and Roger saying, "Gentelmen, I believe we have a new lead on that murder we've been working on for the past how many months?"

Then then proceeded to hand Roger an envelope of that looked like a man handing a bag of drugs to a figure dressed in black. The figure dressed in black was wearing what looked like a designer watch.

"Is that the guy in the apartment?" Roger asked.

"Looks like it." Avery said. "The footage was seen at a gas station."

"Do you think it could be he was killed because he didn't pay up in time?" Roger asked.

"Could be but who knows. All I know is that he's sitting in the interigation room." Avery stated.

In the interigation room...

The drug dealer, sat as Riggs, Roger and Avery questioned him.

"Look, I'm telling you all I know." He said. "The chick with dark hair wearing all black told me she wanted me to hook her up. That's all."

"So you don't know anything about what happened?" Riggs asked.

"No, man. I don't. I had no idea they were even killed." The drug dealer was somewhat shaking.

"So what you are pretty much saying is that you had nothing to do with the murder of these two young people?" Roger started. "They didn't owe you any money hence why you even had them killed?"

"No! The chick asked me to hit her up and I did. She looked like the type who'd be into that stuff anyway." The drug dealer explained.

"Look, Marcus...is that your name?" Roger asked.

Marcus nodded his head.

"You seem like a smart young man. But I find it hard to believe that you wouldn't have anything to do with this case. Two young people were killed and we found a bag of cocaine that you sold the girlfriend. All fingers point to you."

Marcus looked down and started to explain, "I'm telling the truth. I swear. I only do this because I need to support my mother. I wouldn't go as far as killing two people. You have to believe me."

Riggs, Roger and Avery exchanged glances.

"I hate to say this but I feel like he's telling the truth." Riggs said.

"Thank you!" Marcus said to Riggs. "So can I go?"

"Oh no! You're under arrest!" Roger told Marcus. "We'll see about putting you in a drug rehab program."

Marcus buried his hands in his face. Once the other three walked out of the room, Avery said, "I almost feel bad for him."

"He doesn't seem to bright to be a legit drug dealer." Riggs stated.

Roger was thinking to himself. Something didn't seem right. In fact, something seemed off about the whole thing.

"Rog...Rog..." Riggs started, making Roger snap out of it. "You okay there?"

"Yeah. Just thinking." Roger chuckled.

That night, someone anonymously bailed Marcus out. He let Roger know he was going to look into the rehab program. Getting out of the elevator and heading out to make it to the bus stop, a car came out of no where and ran him over. The car stopped after it hit him and Marcus went flying, falling on the back of his head, cracking his skull causing him to bleed out. Soon, the car drove away. Moments later, Cahill was walking to her to her car when she saw Marcus' dead body, causing her to scream in terror and run back inside to inform Avery.

Avery, and Roger were observing the body of Marcus and noticed he died from a broken neck and brain damage. According to the cameras, the car was a rental and as they looked up the information on the car, they noticed it wasn't registered under anyone.

"Whoever did this must've had it out for this guy." Avery started.

Roger was in deep concentration and said to himself, 'I could be wrong but I think I may have an idea...'
