"You said that Jeffrey said that Reva was here when he arrived?" Harley asked.
"Yes…" Frank said.
"Well, where is she now?" Harley asked.
"I don't know…" Frank said. "Jeffrey just said that Sandy said that they got into an argument and she ran off sobbing…"
"And none of you thought to look for her?" Harley asked, her tone suddenly laced with anger.
"Well, we were trying to figure out how the hell to go about this investigation…" Frank answered frustratedly.
Harley shook her head with an angry sigh.
"Don't you shake your head at me, sis…" Frank snapped. "Reva is grieving, ok? She wanted to be alone, so I am letting her be alone as long as I possibly can… And if you are here as her friend, or as Cassie's best friend, and not as a cop…"
"Damn it, Frank!" Harley yelled. "Don't you lecture me on my abilities as a police officer! You think that I can't do my job and still give a damn at the same time? You tell me, Frank, what is so damn terrible about having somebody here who actually cares?"
"Because you care too much…" Frank said. "And that, in any investigation, can be a very dangerous thing… Or didn't you learn that when Gus was trying to defend you?"
"You know what, Frank! That has nothing to do with this, OK?" Harley snapped. "So why don't you just shut up about it already!" She turned her back to him and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Frank snapped.
"I am going to find Reva…" Harley snapped, turning back around to face him. "And I am going to question her! Not you, not this Berkley guy from the FBI, me! Someone who actually cares is going to question her because that is what she needs right now, Frank, somebody who actually cares!"
Frank sighed angrily. "Look, sis, I know that we have our main suspect in this Jonathan Randall, but… If it turns out it wasn't him, then we need to make room for the possibility…"
"No, Frank! No!" Harley snapped, her eyes steeled into a glare. "Don't you even say it!"
"Sis, she was the only one here when Jeffrey arrived… I mean… You heard exactly how the bodies were found… She had every motive…"
"I am not going to stand here and listen to this, Frank!" Harley yelled. "So you just take care of the CSI team when they get here and let me do this!"
Frank sighed angrily as he watched his sister storm off.
Harley made sure that she was out of Frank's sight before the tears started to fall. She wiped her eyes with her sleeve, composing herself very quickly, knowing that she needed to focus on the investigation. She walked through the house, slowly pushing open the doors as she passed them. And then she heard the faint sound of sobbing. She moved closer to the room that it seemed to be coming from and pushed the door open to see Reva sitting there, alone, on the floor, in the corner of the room. "Reva…" she said softly.
Reva looked up at her. Her face was streaked with tears and her body was shaking.
"Reva…" Harley said, moving closer to her. "Are you ok?" She asked.
Reva turned away from her continuing to cry. "No…" she said. "I'm not ok… And I will never be ok again…"
Harley wrapped her arms around her, pulling her close into a comforting embrace. "Were you… Here when it happened?" she asked.
"Cassie…" Reva said, her body still shaking with sobs. "She called me… She… She called and… She… She said that she needed me over here… And… I came here and… It was just… Quiet… So… So quiet… I went up to her room, and…" She shook even more as she continued to speak. "I found her there… Dead… Naked underneath my husband… And… It just hurt… It just… It hurt so much and I… I just… I just passed out I think… I just… I just couldn't look at them like that…"
"It's ok…" Harley whispered softly. "Was there anyone else here when you got here?"
"No…" Reva said, sniffling as she attempted to wipe her tears away, though more only continued to fall. "There was no one else here it was just so quiet…"
"How long were you passed out?" Harley asked.
"Until…" Reva said. "Until Sandy got here… He had these marks on his neck… He… He said that my son did this… He said… He said that he isn't my son and that my real son did this…" she started to shake again as she continued to cry. "He's a liar though. It's not true! It can't be true! My son… No! No! My son, he wouldn't… He couldn't… It… It can't be… He wouldn't do this!"
"I promise you…" Harley said. "We're going to find whoever did do this…"
"He wouldn't do this!" Reva said.
Harley sighed softly. She wasn't even going to try arguing logic with her right now. Wasn't going to point out the fact that her son was someone she didn't even know. "I think… I think that you should go to the hospital… You know… Just… Just to get checked out…" Harley said. "I… I can go with you if you want…"
"The hospital can't fix what's wrong with me…" Reva said. "My husband is dead! My sister is dead! How is a doctor going to fix that, huh? You tell me Harley!"
"I don't… I don't know…" Harley said, and by now she was again fighting to hold back the tears herself. "But I still think that you should go…"
Reva pulled away from Harley's embrace. "I just want to die!" She said.
"No…" Harley said. "No, Reva, that's not going to fix anything!"
"Just… Please… Leave me alone…" Reva said. "Just let me cry here in my sister's house… With all of my memories of her…"
"Reva, you can't stay here much longer…" Harley said. "It is well past time to close off the crime scene so the CSI team can come in… And, you know, maybe… Maybe this place… With… With all of your memories isn't really the best place to be right now, you know?"
"And where am I supposed to go?" Reva cried. "Home? To the house that I shared with my husband? My husband who was cheating on me with my own sister? My husband who was murdered in cold blood? My husband who I loved more than anything else in this world? Who I still love so much… I love them both so much, Harley… I could've forgiven it… I could've… I could've, really… I just want them back… Both of them… I need them… I need them both so much, Harley… I need them in my life… What am I going to do? How am I supposed to tell Marah and Shayne? How? How am I supposed to do that? Their father is dead! I can't… I can't take this…"
"Reva, please…" Harley said, her eyes again wet with the trace beginnings of tears. "Just… Come to the hospital with me, please… Maybe… Maybe after you get checked out we can just… Talk some more… Maybe… Maybe you know more than you think you do… Maybe… Maybe you can help us catch whoever did this…"
"I told you what I know!" Reva cried.
"I know… I know…" Harley said. "But we have to go over everything… I mean… Just to make sure, Reva… You know that I'm not just here as a cop… You're my friend… And your sister was my best friend… And… I need to know who did this… I just… I need to be sure… I… I need to find them and make sure that they get what they deserve…"
Reva wiped her tears again, trying to calm herself somewhat. "Oh… OK…" she said hesitantly, looking back at Harley.
Harley got up off of the ground. "Come on…" she said softly. "It's… It's going to be ok…"
