(Chapter Fourteen)

Jane was on her way back to BPD. She had found a card in a jacket that Alley had left in her locker at the church. Normally she would have just called Donald Enhearten but she needed air and to burn time so she wouldn't go and push Maura for answers on what she found in Alley's journal. The look in her friend's eyes told her that it was a better idea to leave her alone with her thoughts and lab results at the moment.

She had found out some very interesting information from Mr. Enhearten who sold life insurance for a living. It seemed that Alley & Bethany had talked to the man about changing the beneficiaries of their childhood policies to each other instead of their parents just ten days before their murders. He also told Jane that there was a child to be named later.

This let her know that Bethany knew about the pregnancy and Alley was planning on having the child. If the scene hadn't been laid out another way than it had been, her thoughts might have wondered to murder suicide with this new information. But it was apparent that Bethany died protecting Alley with everything she had and that Alley was the source of rage for the murder… given the over kill to her body.

She had thought it was a little odd that two young girls would be thinking of life insurance so early in life and had asked if they had given any indication that they were worried about anything. Donald told her, "…they were just looking out for one another at least that is what they had told him." He also told her that both parents were notified by letter to the changes in policies and that the women would be taking over the premiums. But the beneficiary information wasn't provided.

This made her to start wondering about Judy McDermott. The letters had to have made it to the parents before her call on Sunday and yet the woman acted like Bethany was in the middle of the jungle on a missionary trip. "Maybe she hadn't opened the letter." She thought to herself then laughed out loud. "Yeah… right…" she said out loud, "…and mosquitoes don't suck blood." But why the rues… what was the woman hiding?" She asked herself.

But those questions would have to be asked later because she had pulled up to BPD and needed to get any information that Maura had found out. She looked at her phone and noticed three hours had passed and the M.E. hadn't called or texted anything. "She said she would have something in two hours, something's not right." She thought to herself as she quickened her steps inside to the elevators.

She stepped out of the elevator and almost ran into Suzie. "Oh… Sorry Suzie." She said as she caught the woman before mowing her over. "You okay?"

"Yeah… I think so." She said as she righted the folders in her arms. "This is getting to be a dangerous place to work."

Jane looked at her puzzled, "Why?"

"People running everywhere, funeral people yelling, and parents brawling."

Jane understood the first and last part of the woman's statement. She had almost run her over and Mrs. McDermott had threatened Mr. Carter. "What people were yelling?"

"The hearse drivers that were here to pick up Bethany McDermott's body."

"Why were they yelling?"

"Because Dr. Isles wouldn't release the body to them."

"Do you know why?" She asked hoping to get more information before poking the bear for it.

"I'm not sure at this point. She is running all the test and taking all the x-rays herself."

Jane looked at the woman knowing Maura was on to something if she was handling the processes herself. "Is Dr. Isles in the lab or her office?"

"She is in the lab…" she hesitated a moment, "…but I wouldn't interrupt her right now. She is very focused."

Jane started to walk towards the lab saying, "She's always focused Suzie," but the woman reached out and caught Jane's arm.

"No… you do not understand Dr. Isles yelled at the men when they called the girls' mother."

Jane stopped in her tracks, now curious by Suzie's comments. "Maur was yelling?"

"Yes…"

"Why?"

"I'm not sure, all I heard was her yelling "You will not take this girl and destroy evidence of a vicious crime," then she turned and walked back into the autopsy room leaving the man to handle a yelling woman on the other end."

Jane figured the yelling woman on the phone had to be Judy McDermott. Now she was left wondering wither to poke the bear or start planning a trip up to Stockbridge. She decided to go upstairs and dig around in the woman's life because she needed more information before she made the trip.

Forgive the lapse... I will try and wrap up this story next week. I am meeting someone this weekend and our first date is going to be a hot air balloon ride. :)
