Melanie and Dennis had another conversation about this mystery involving the missing models.
"Dennis?"
"Yes, Melanie?"
"I talked with Lynda again."
"Why would I care? Don't tell me she's bugging you about these girls again. It's normal."
"Of course it's normal, Dennis. We were talking about those girls. I cam up with a thought and shared with Lynda, and I'm going to tell you the same thing."
"Go ahead, honey. I'm listening."
"Have you ever thought about those girls might still be alive?"
"What makes you think that? Their friends and families were already contacted about them murdered. There's nothing else to think about."
"It was something that came to me when Lynda and I were talking. I hope this idea will make you think."
"Thank you for sharing, Melanie. I'm sure it would be something to think about. I'll mention it to Sheriff Edwards tomorrow. That was something I've never thought of. You do have a good idea. I'll let you know what the sheriff says. Do you think Sam Conway already has the information?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm guessing Lynda already mentioned it to him. They do make a good team if you ask me."
"I can't argue there. You're a good addition."
"Thank you, Dennis. If I never got Lynda involved with these murders from then to now, you will have to work on these murders, even if it means taking a long time as is."
"That was something I figured out on my own, Melanie. You did come up with a good idea that's worth sharing to others."
"I thought so. I'm sure the sheriff would like to think about that and agree."
"He probably would," Dennis agreed.
"This is taking a while to work on these kind of things," Melanie said.
"You better believe it. If I don't share this with the sheriff right away, would you mind writing a reminder for me?"
"I will."
While she and Dennis were on the subject, she had another thought.
"I just thought of something."
"Whatever you have in mind, I'm listening."
Melanie saw he was starting to show interest about her thoughts about this. She has a good point, Dennis told himself as he continued to look in her direction to see what she just thought of.
"May I be with you so I can also hear what the sheriff says?"
"Let me think about it and let you know in the morning."
"I can wait until then. I'm sure Lynda would agree what we just talked about those girls."
"Maybe it was something he could have thought on his own.
"That's something I thought of now also. I can tell Lynda you agreed with me about her and Sam being a good team."
"Go ahead and share. I wouldn't care either way. I do know already Lynda would take that as a compliment."
"I know she will, Dennis. If I get to hear what the sheriff hears about my idea in person, could I invite Lynda to come along?"
"No, you may not bring her with you, Melanie."
What Dennis just told his wife was true, and Melanie got the message and didn't want to turn this conversation into an argument.
