This one is another shorty, (hehe) but it dives into more about the case, anddd I knew everyone has been just DYING for another chapter! So here you are my dearies, and prepare for some more...oh what's the word I am looking for...love! I think there will be a cat fight (maybe) in this next chapter, and somebody may get kicked off the case...*spoiler!* And then...*spoiler alert* I think I am going to kill somebody off in the last chapter.

Dr. Hunt kept her cool and her poise as she walked up to the crime scene with her driving partner Peter Dunlop. She had asked him to park a block or so away, because she needed the exercise, (a blatant lie) and used the extra walking time to somewhat clear her racing mind.

So many things were going through her head right now; the case, what kind of cruel…ugh it made her so mad! The other thing running like Nascar race through her brain was her new…well, could you even call it a relationship?

She wasn't exactly sure what she had going, but whatever it was, Megan knew she liked it.

Her and Peter walked up to the house, and he lifted the crime scene tape for her to walk under, and she smiled at his chivalrous gesture. Megan stepped onto the tile floor of the victims' kitchen, and smelled the oh so familiar scent of death, mixed with was that spaghetti?

Detective Baker was the first do address Megan, stating, "Dr. Hunt we are glad you are here. We are having difficulty telling where the blood starts and where the spaghetti sauce ends. It looks to be maybe a love triangle was going on, and apparently your doctor friend was being cheated on by one of…"

"She was married to Jake for almost 15 years! Why would she just now cheat on him, or vice versa?" Megan interrupted, thinking out loud more or less, she said as she kneeled down toward the woman's body. "Oh Charlotte, what was going on between you two…uh three?" She added, as if talking to the dead woman while she put on her gloves.

"Can you give us some names Dr. Hunt?" Detective Bud Morris interrupted her train of thought, as he most often did. He was always impatient, especially since he and his wife's divorce 3 months ago.

"HER name is Dr. Charlotte Richland, Anesthesiologist. Her husband is Jake Richland, Esq. He was a malpractice lawyer, which is how they met, and the brother's name is…"

"Jonathan Richland. Former Army drill sergeant." Dr. Kate Murphy added, as she stepped into the room, her stilettos making her entrance more noticeable. Megan gave Kate a sarcastic smile, and a solemn nod.

"Yes, he was. BUT, he retired from the army about a year and a half ago, and was now working at a construction company." Megan replied, was she in a competition with Kate? Megan then realized something, and turned to Bud. "He once came by the house, he was drunk as a skunk, but I feel sure all his rantings rang true somewhere. He talked about something about his boss trying to get him to quit and something about his boss trying to sabotage some equipment so it would get him hurt so he could no longer work. I believe Jake was trying to help him out with a case." She then looked up at Kate, "you know what they say, 'In wine there is truth'." She winked at Kate, and then looked back at the body.

Bud continued to jot down some notes on his pad and nodded in agreement, and got the name of the construction company and law firm the family worked for.

Bud spoke to detective Baker for a minute, and just as Megan said, "It's almost a quarter after three, the Richland's son should be home anytime…" a young boy around the age of 15 walked in the house in a furious rage. "What the hell happened here? What happened to Mom? Dad? Uncle Jonathan?" He ran towards the bodies, but before he could get to them, Peter caught him in his arm and picked him up, kicking and screaming. "I am going to see if I can get anything out of the boy" Kate said, feeling the tension in the air between her and Megan thicken so greatly it could almost be cut with a knife.

Megan finished examining the body and removed her gloves, putting them in a plastic bag to throw away later. She stood and grabbed her bag, and then walked out to find Peter so they could head back to the lab. Just as she walked out, the coroners brought one of the bodies right past her on a stretch her, and it nearly startled her. She found Peter, who was interviewing a nearby neighbor, and motioned that she was going to the car. She got out her keys to pop the trunk, which she then placed her purse in, and got in the passenger's side of the vehicle just before making a phone call to Curtis back at the lab.

Megan ended her phone call just as Peter got into the car, stating angrily something about the neighbor not seeing anything as they always seem to do, and they drove off to the lab.

This is the end! (But not really) Stay tuned for action, romance, humor, and eventually...a death in the end! Yayyy for spoilers!
