The Aunt knows

by NASCARLUCY

When her niece is found murdered at the Cape Canaveral National Seashore, Sally Robertson debates over handing over the diary to the BAU, but decides not to. Will she later be forced to do so?

12. Chapter 12

The defense attorney smiled. He knew just what buttons to push on Sally and he did a good job. She looked like a ranting lunatic when she repeated herself which she often did when she got angry. The judge warned her not to have an angry outburst.

Relieved to be dismissed, Aunt Sally left the courtroom in tears and ran from reporters.

Later she complained to Hotchner about this.

"Why are they doing this to Molly and me?"

"It's a civil trial and they can do whatever they want, pretty much."

The first reaction of Mark Malls was disbelief but he had been told by several individuals that Sally Robertson was a paranoid woman who believed that people were talking about her all the time. He had been told this by others when he was with Molly. He shouldn't have been shocked by anything the woman said but some of what she said was true. Very true especially about people telling for money.

Mark's thoughts were interrupted by Sam and his attorney coming into his house.

"I'm surprised that she didn't call the police on you."said Sam who had come into the room with a large binder.

"So am I, but I guess she liked me. I didn't know how crazy she was."

"These are all the calls that Sally called to the police when Molly was in high school."

The three sat in the living room and watched a couple of the clips of Sally showing up at the school yelling and screaming at the kids for picking on Molly. Mark just shook his head and it wasn't long before all of them were laughing.

"This really isn't funny. It really isn't. I'm just curious, how many times were the police called?" asked Mark.

"Over 150 calls during a 4 year period and 50 police reports. This is just the police department in Ponce Inlet. Most of these involve the high school and involved Molly being picked on. Molly would call her on her cell phone and then Sally would show up and well you saw a few of them. I read thru these reports Mark. I tell you, Sally Robertson is something else. I'm surprised that any man would want to date her much less marry her. Billy Morgan was smart to run."
