Another Interview
After Olivia had done the shopping she headed back home. On the way she ran into Stephanie, and invited her in for, what else, a drink and some gossip.
Like Laura, Stephanie told her a little about the club, and about Pam's leaving.
"Was anyone sad to see her leave?" Olivia asked.
"Well, yes actually." Stephanie answered cautiously.
"Who?" Olivia asked.
"Well, Matthew seemed to be a little taken aback when she and George told us that they were expecting." Stephanie answered. "I know that it sounds terrible of me, but I think that Matt was a little to upset by her leaving, if you know what I mean."
"Do you think that they were seeing each other outside of the club?" Olivia questioned.
"Well, a few times I ran into him leaving her house, but he said that he was just fixing a leaky pipe. With George working his crazy hours, there was no one else to do it." Stephanie answered.
"Did he seem mad when Pam left?" Olivia asked.
"Come to think of it, he did seem a little mad. I think he may have thought that the baby was his." She whispered.
"What would make him think that?" Olivia asked.
"Well, I heard them arguing one day; Pam always kept the windows open. He told her that she should leave George, and that he should be the one to raise the baby, because it was probably his. Pam's marriage was on the rocks, they thought the club would help them. She told Matt that her baby was just what the two needed to bring their marriage back together." Stephanie revealed.
"When was this?" Olivia asked.
"Oh, I don't remember. A few days before she died I guess." Stephanie answered. "I closed the window after that, I hate being a nosey neighbor."
Olivia just smiled. "Was this woman this dense?" She wondered.
"I should get going; I have to get dinner ready before Luke gets home." Stephanie said, excusing herself.
Olivia showed her out, just as Steve returned from the precinct. He kissed Olivia on the cheek, and hung up his coat.
"So, you get anything?" She asked Steve
"One of our squeaky clean neighbors isn't so clean." Steve said. "What's for dinner?"
"Dinner? I wasn't aware that I had to make dinner." Olivia said.
"Well, you're the wife Liv. I made breakfast, and I expected dinner to be ready by the time I got home." Steve complained.
"Well I'm sorry Sir, but you're just going to have to stop acting like my four year old, and deal with it. Now if you want, I'll order a pizza, if not, you can go to bed hungry." Olivia shot back, dealing with him the way she delt with Erika when she acted like a spoiled brat.
"Why, so that you can sleep with the pizza guy too?" Steve countered.
Olivia shook her head. "Just tell me, who's the tainted neighbor?" She demanded.
"Matthew Morlings. He's married to…" Steve began.
"Laura Morlings. They've been married for four years, and have two kids. He works for some fortune 500 company, and Stephanie believes that he was having an affair with the Vic." Olivia finished. "She said that she heard the two arguing about her going back to her husband a few days before the murder."
"That's enough to compel a DNA sample." Steve said. "I'll call the ADA."
"Oh speaking of calling, have you seen my cell?" Olivia asked.
"No, sorry babe, maybe you left it somewhere in the house." He answered.
"I guess I'll order dinner." Olivia said, and went into the kitchen to call.
TBC... like I said, I'm going to post another chapter
