Meanwhile, Kylie studied Jessica's picture of a man's wallet. She kept trying to figure out why that wallet looked so familiar. She hunched the man's wallet was belonging to anyone in her family. Kylie wondered how much success Patsy had with her friends at the sheriff's department. She would find out sooner or later. She was about to receive another text message when Claudia came back with Danny's toolbox once more.
"Hi, Mom," Kylie finally heard her daughter say.
Kylie didn't send Claudia any eye contact since she was busy looking at Jessica's photo.
"Didn't you hear me, Mom?" Claudia asked.
Still no answer from Kylie. Daphne, her youngest sister, was in the kitchen, making that night's dessert, which was blueberry cobbler.
"Hi, Daph," Claudia said when she entered the small kitchen.
It had everything a kitchen would need: a stove, microwave, toaster, bread box, a table and a few chairs, sink, cupboard, dishwasher, fridge.
"What's going on with Mom, Daph?" Claudia asked before a return of hello from Daphne.
"What are you talking about?" Daphne asked, not reading her older sister's query.
"I just came in from taking care of a few of Daddy's tenants. Mom didn't make eye contact or answer me," Claudia said worriedly.
"I'll be there in a minute or two. I want to put this cobbler in the stove," Daphne told her sister.
After setting the timer, Daphne followed Claudia into the living room. Their mother was lying on a two pillow blue and black leather couch, laptop and cell phone beside her. Kylie didn't bother holding both laptop and cell phone beside her. Kylie didn't bother holding the cell phone to study the man's wallet. She didn't even hear her girls walk in.
That's when Kylie felt Daphne tap her on her shoulder. Kylie finally lifted her head to give her daughter's eye contact.
"Mom, are you okay?" Claudia asked.
"You didn't answer me when I came in," Claudia said to Kylie.
"Sorry, sweetheart. I'm trying to figure out a photo Jessica sent me," Kylie told the two.
"Can we see the picture, Mom?" both sisters asked, getting interested in their mother's case about their uncle.
Kylie handed Claudia her cell phone for the girls to see.
"This case is too violent for you two. The gang and I would appreciate if you both can find the wallet," Kylie told them.
Both Daphne and Claudia took one good long look at Jessica's photo. The wallet looked like it wasn't from indoors at all. The wallet somehow looked like it was found on a sunny day and not a rainy day.
"That doesn't look familiar to us, Mom. We'll keep looking at it," Daphne responded.
"I understand, girls. We're working on it."
