Lindsay stood in front of the morgue's viewing room beside Gwen DiCarlo's brother, Jason. Lindsay has always been around death, but she could never get used to death coming so close to her own life.
She could only imagine the pain this is causing Jason.
"What happened to my sister, Lyn?" Jason asked.
Lindsay didn't make eye contact with him, she knew she would cry. "We're still trying to figure out" Lindsay said.
"Gwen's not even supposed to be in New York. She has a wedding this weekend" Jason said.
"Gwen's a wedding planner?" Lindsay said.
"Yeah" Jason continued "But she said she had to come to New York to meet with an urgent client who is getting married this fall. You'll never believe who it is."
Just then, Danny comes up to them and stands behind Lindsay.
"Fiona Albright" Jason said.
Lindsay looked surprised. "You're kidding" she said.
Jason just shook his head. "I'm serious"
"Who's Fiona Albright?" Danny asked,
Lindsay turned around. "Hey, didn't see you there" she said, almost nervously.
Danny extended his hand towards a handshake "Danny Messer, NYPD" he said. Jason shook his hand. "I'm sorry for your sister".
"You said Gwen was meeting Fiona Albright" Lindsay turned back to Jason.
"Yes, but I'm not even sure if they actually met" Jason said. "But they were supposed to have met two weeks ago."
"That's around the time Gwen disappeared" Lindsay said.
Danny tapped Lindsay's shoulder. "Who's Fiona Albright?" Danny asked.
Lindsay's eyes darted all around the room, trying to avoid looking at Danny. "She's um…. She was in our class."
"Ugly girl." Jason continued. "She had buck teeth, too tall and too thin, not very bright. Not attractive at all, actually"
Jason actually laughed. Danny couldn't believe it. His sister's corpse was lying on a slab and he had the gall to laugh at an ugly person's face.
Danny turned to Lindsay. "We could just go talk to her" Danny said. "She may be the last person to have seen Gwen alive"
Lindsay was still avoiding his eyes. "You know what, I think it's best that I'm hands off on this one"
Danny just nodded his head. He looked on as Lindsay escorted Jason out of the morgue.
For the first time in his life, Danny felt doubtful about Lindsay. And he didn't like what he was feeling.
