Disclaimer: What were you thinking? Thinking I own Cold Case eh? Well news flash sadly I don't. They belong to the evil CBS who took them off the air. Okay done with my rant however I do own the victim and his family.
Chapter 4
The squad called it a night later that day as they would get back on it tomorrow. During that time, Scotty and Lilly would go talk to Mitch, hoping that they would track him down and find out where he currently lives.
The next afternoon, Scotty and Lilly drive up to a two story house outside of Philly in Pittsburgh. They saw that there was a car parked in the driveway so hopefully he would be home.
They walked up towards the door in the cold November morning and Scotty rang the doorbell. Awhile later, a man who appeared to be in his mid to late thirties with short blonde/brown hair and green eyes, looking at them confusingly.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
"Are you Mitch Spencer?" Lilly asked.
"Yeah" he replied slowly, unsure of what was going on.
"We're from Homicide" Scotty said.
"Is my wife alright?" he asked worriedly.
"She's fine, we're here to talk about your best friend Adam" Lilly replied assuringly.
"Adam, wow, I haven't heard that name in years" he said.
"Do you remember when you last saw him?"
"Only the day before he died. He seemed so worked up over Sara from the month before I never saw him freak out over something" he replied.
"We're thinking that between the three of you something was going on" Scotty said.
"Whoa, it wasn't me that got involved yeah I knew about their situation but I wasn't asked to be part of it" he said.
"Part of what?" Lilly asked.
"It started out about a few weeks before he died. We continued our conversation a few days after the first time he tried to mention it…"
Flashback
The Beatles-Hey Bulldog
Mitch and Adam were home by themselves waiting for his mother and sister to get home.
"You and Sara are okay right now, right?" Mitch asked.
"Yeah, I guess she was having a scare before but she's gotten the stomach flu" Adam replied.
Mitch shrugged before a knock on the door surprised them. Adam got up from the couch to answer the door which surprised him as he saw Sara at the door.
"Sara, I thought you were sick" he said as she came in.
"I need to talk to you" she said softly.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I went to the doctors and it turned out that my stomach flu wasn't the stomach flu" she replied.
"You mean, oh no" he said.
"I'm so sorry" she said.
"I thought for sure you weren't having it" he said.
"I thought so too but the doctor confirmed it" she said.
"Was your mom there?" he asked.
"No Blake took me and let me tell you now, he's not too thrilled about it" she replied.
"Man, my mom is going to kill me it's bad enough that she has enough on her plate" he said. Just as they were talking, Mitch overheard and his eyes were wide.
End of flashback
"After that, well, they tried to make it seem like nothing was wrong" he said.
"What was that big secret that they were talking about?" Lilly asked.
"I guess it doesn't matter now since my best friend's dead and Sara and I lost contact after high school" he said. "Sara was pregnant."
"So Sara was expecting?" John asked the two young detectives later that day.
"Seem so, we got a hold on her medical records and she was only six weeks along" Lilly said.
"Was?"
"She miscarried a week after Adam's death, guess she couldn't handle his death well as it seemed" Scotty said.
"Are we getting to talk to her?"
"She's been hard to contact recently."
"Maybe she felt guilty of the miscarriage?" he suggested.
"I don't think so, she went on living her life it seems" Lilly said. She looked over and saw Sara walking into the precinct.
"I'll handle this" Lilly said as she got up to leave the room.
"Detective, was there any lead?" Sara asked as she approached her.
"Maybe you would want to sit down" she said. They both walked towards Lilly's desk and sat down. "It seemed like you left out something important the last time we talked."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, someone gave out information that could help us out" she said.
"What was it?"
"They said that you were pregnant and miscarried after your boyfriend's death" Lilly replied.
Sara was quiet for a long time. She stared at Lilly in shock as her deep dark secret was revealed.
"I had a feeling Mitch would tell you" she said.
"He only knew, didn't he, besides Adam and your brother" Lilly stated.
She nodded. "I couldn't tell my mom she was too busy with Katie's party and my dad was nowhere around at the time. My brother wanted to kill Adam but I told him not to only because Adam has been through so much at the time with his dad" she said.
"What happened during that time when you were pregnant" Lilly asked.
"Well, we kept it a secret for a few weeks. At the time, I thought that it alright but not until Katie found out and when she found out, it was ugly…"
Flashback
London Calling-The Clash
Sara was sitting in her room reading a math book and trying to work on her math homework. She was suddenly interrupted when Katie opened up the door to her room.
"Do you mind?" Sara asked hastily.
"Sorry I need to borrow that necklace to see if it matches my dress" she said.
"You could've asked" Sara said.
"I did you don't remember" Katie retorted back.
She continued to go through one drawer which had Sara's jewelry until she made an interesting discovery.
"What are these?" she asked holding up a bottle of prenatal vitamins. Sara looked at her wide eyed as she jumped off the bed and snatched them out of her hand.
"It's for a project at school" Sara replied.
"Really cause if it was, then why is your name on it?"
"So that way no one would mix it up geez," she replied.
"Why are you so irritable?"
"Because I'm stressed out okay. Can you go now?" Sara snapped. Katie said nothing as she left the room without the necklace in hand.
End of flashback
"After that she put two and two together and she found out" Sara said.
"She didn't react well, did she?"
"Not really. She was pissed because I lied to her and she told me Adam would pay for getting me knocked up."
A/n: See I told you there would be a twist sort of. You know what I mean.
