"I don't know, it doesn't really sound like a movie I would like." He said.
"Monk it's a good movie. I'm sure you'll love it." Stottlemeyer said. Monk looked down into Natalie's eyes. How could he say no to Natalie? And besides, it would mean him sitting next to her and that alone was enough.
"OK" He said with a little smile causing Natalie to grin from ear to ear. They turned their attention back to the interview room.
"Were you aware of Mr. And Mrs. Kincaid's marriage problems?" Randy asked still sitting on the edge of the table.
"Yes. Steven told me that he thought she was cheating on him." Ms. Carter told him.
"Have you always called Mr. Kincaid Steven?"
"Yes We are all on a first name basis." She answered.
"Did he seem upset about Mrs. Kincaid possibly cheating on him?"
"Of course, who wouldn't? Are we allowed to smoke in here?" she asked as she reached for her black skull purse.
"No ma'am." Randy answered. She scowled.
"Well this place sucks."
"Well thank you for your time." Randy said getting up and walking back into the viewing room.
"What do you think Monk?" Randy said as he reentered the room.
"She's not strong enough to have put Mrs. Kincaid in the display case." Monk said as he was staring at Natalie. No one but the Captain noticed. There is something really strange going on with them. He thought to himself.
"What if she got a boyfriend to do it?" Natalie asked glancing up at Monk and noticed him staring, but he quickly looked away.
"Didn't you hear her say she didn't have one?" Randy asked looking from Natalie to Monk then to the Captain.
"No when did she say that?" Natalie asked cutting her eyes at Monk.
"After she described her day. I asked if she had a boyfriend and she said no." Randy said continuing to look at them.
"Oh sorry we were talking about a movie... well that rules her out." Natalie said
"Oh, let me guess. When she said her middle name you thought about The Silence of the Lambs... I did too."Randy said with a grin.
"Has everyone seen that movie but me?" Monk said
"Don't worry Mr. Monk I have to movie at home and tonight me and you will watch it... OK?" Natalie said putting her arm under his again.
"OK... yea, bring in the husband." Monk said with Natalie still hanging on his arm. He liked it when she did that. It made him feel manly. Randy left the room and Stottlemeyer followed.
"Hey Randy." He said getting his Lieutenant's attention
"Yea Captain?" He said turning.
"Do you notice anything weird with Monk and Natalie?"
"No... why?"
"Oh nothing." Stottlemeyer turned and reentered the viewing room. Randy escorted Ms. Carter out and Mr. Kincaid in. When Leland entered, Natalie was still hanging on Monk's arm and both were turned, looking into the interview room. Neither noticed him come in so he stood behind them watching both of them and the interview taking place.
"State your full name for the record." Randy said, resuming his previous seat on the edge of the table.
"Steven Walker Kincaid."
"And can you recall your day please?"
"I've already told you." Said Mr. Kincaid
"It's for the record sir." Randy said, keeping his cool.
"I'm not going through it again. Hasn't this day been hard enough? Why do I have to keep going through it, over and over?" Mr. Kincaid said, breaking down. After regaining his posture he walked them through his day once again.
"Now, you said you and your wife were having some problems. What kind of problems?"
"I thought she was cheating on me."
"And what would make you think that?"
"She was staying out at all hours, when I would ask where she had been she would say 'working late', but I called her work and they said she left everyday at five." Everyone could tell from Mr. Kincaid's face he was turning from grief to rage.
"So you asked her to leave?"
"I confronted her and she denied it, so I asked her to leave... if I hadn't done that then I could have protected her." He broke down again. This time it lasted, so Randy went into the viewing room. Natalie was still hanging on Monk but let go when the Captain spoke up.
"What do you think about him?" Stottlemeyer asked with a smirk.
"I'm not sure." Monk replied.
"Well, we can't hold him." Randy said, leaving and escorting a crying Mr. Kincaid out of the interview room. He then escorted Mr. Kincaid and Ms. Carter to a cab to take them home. Monk Natalie and the Captain walked to the Captain's office.
"OK me and Randy are going to talk to the other employees. You two can go down to Amber's work and see if anyone knows anything about her having a affair." Stottlemeyer said as the reached his office.
"OK." Monk said and knew Natalie was going to say something about the gas once they were in the car. They turned to leave but was cut off by an officer. He was handsome as far as Natalie was concerned. He had dark brown hair, was clean shaved and was nicely built.
Told ya there would be more! Thanks to Monkwriter! Review and tell me what you think, again they keep me going!! Oh and i swear the romance is coming but something has to happen first and then it will get really interseting between Monk and Natalie.
