"Prague?!" It seemed like everyone spoke at once.
Gwen stared at Luis. "Are you sure? I don't know anyone in Prague! Why...what..." She couldn't even form a thought.
"I don't know anyone in Prague either. What the hell is going on here, Luis?" Ethan's voice was frustrated as he stared at the man who'd nearly been his brother in law.
"Well, I think there's a pretty logical explanation, actually." Luis looked at the people assembled in front of him. "Ethan, even though you are no longer a Crane, you and Gwen have been in the public eye for years. Sarah's death was in the papers, as well as the whole scandal over Jane. What you have here is an overseas wacko just trying to cause some problems. That's all it was, a crank call. I'd suggest changing your phone number, but aside from that, don't make more of it than it is."
Fancy nodded in agreement. "Luis is right. You guys have gotten weirdos before, and it's unfortunate, but this probably won't be the last time."
Ethan nodded slowly. "It makes sense." He squeezed Gwen's shoulder reassuringly. "I'm sorry this happened, sweetheart, but Luis and Fancy are right. It was just some sicko trying to get his kicks. We'll add some automatic tracing to our line just in case they get our new number, OK?"
Gwen nodded slowly. Her shoulders sagged as relief, anger, and sadness pulled at her. Just the fact that someone would use her daughter's death in such a callous way was unbelievable. "Right. I'm sorry I overreacted. It's just..Sarah.." she couldn't finish the sentence.
"Wait a second." Theresa stepped forward, looking perplexed. "So all of you are just going to shrug this off? You don't think there's possibly more to it?"
Gwen glared at her angrily, glad to once again have a target for her pent up emotions. "What else could it be, Theresa?" she asked angrily.
"Don't get mad at me, Gwen." Theresa snapped back. "I swear, you're just disappointed that you can't blame me for this like you blame me for everything else."
"Theresa..." Ethan had a warning tone in his voice.
"Shut up, Ethan!" Theresa snapped. His shocked expression gave her a glimmer of satisfaction. She was so tired of him talking down to her like a three year old who needed to be disciplined. "Like it or not, Jane is my daughter, as much as you two try to deny it, and her name was brought up. That makes me part of this and I'm not just going to sweep it under the rug. Something stinks here, and for once it's not just her." She pointed at Gwen.
Gwen shook her head angrily. "I'm not going to stand around and listen to this. Ethan, let's go."
Theresa raised an eyebrow mockingly. "Fine, Gwen, go. I just thought that Sarah meant more to you than that."
Gwen whirled around, fire in her eyes. "You're just asking for it, aren't you, Theresa? I swear if my daughter's name comes out of your mouth one more time I will rip your tongue out!"
Pilar, Luis, and Fancy all shot Theresa warning glances. "That's enough, mija" Pilar's voice was gentle but warning.
Jared took Theresa's hand in his as Ethan pulled his angry wife towards the door. "Tess, I really don't know what you're trying to get at here. Let them go." His quiet tone was meant to be soothing but Theresa was not about to be silenced.
"What this is about..." Theresa raised her voice so Gwen and Ethan had no choice but to listen. ..Is that I'm not entirely convinced that there wasn't something suspicious about Sarah's death."
Gwen gasped as rage and shock began to consume her. "How dare you!" Her voice was verging on the hysterical.
Theresa held up a warning hand. "Hear me out, Gwen. I just want to know if you and Ethan are truly sure that you know what happened to your daughter. In fact, I'm wondering..." she hesitated, wondering if this was something even she dared to say out loud. "I'm wondering if Sarah is even dead."
