Chap. 5 Finding out
***************************************************************************
Desiree hurriedly left the house and looked at her surroundings, she saw Penelope down the street obviously waiting for a cab. She took her little car and slowly drove towards Penelope. When she finally had a cab Desiree followed her. She was surprised to see her entering the cemetery.
***************************************************************************
When they entered the house, Fran and Derek were surprised to see Desiree wasn't there. She had assured them that she would be there. Derek grabbed his cell and called her.
***************************************************************************
Penelope was still at the grave when Desiree's phone rang…
She quickly hid behind a tree and answered.
"Hello?"
"Des, where are you?"
"Derek, I'm… could you pick me up at the cemetery please?"
"The cemetery why?"
"My car's got a problem. Please?"
"Ok I'll be there in a few."
Desiree hung up. She was going to leave her spot when she saw Penelope walking towards the exit. She walked towards the grave and stared at it surprised.
***************************************************************************
Penelope decided to talk some minutes with the tenant.
"Sir, I don't understand… the grave's so clean."
"Miss, I never forgot the day you buried your child. You were hurt and yet you had the strength to live this painful moment."
"I had no choice, I couldn't save her, I just had to be her for her. I wished I had come to visit her these past few years."
"I don't judge you miss Garcia. She had been brutally taken away from you. I wish they hadn't buried your ex-husband, her father next to her as he is her m…."
"I know." She cut it off.
"Thank you sir… I promise, I will visit her more often now. I should have begun it a long tome ago… thank you."
"You're welcome miss Garcia. See you soon."
Penelope left the office and walked towards the exit, then she dumped into someone.
"Derek?" she whispered.
"Baby Girl?" he replied surprised.
"Finally! You'll discover that you're supposed best friend Penelope Garcia or should I say Penelope Davies is a liar Derek." Said a voice behind them.
"Des?" Derek said looking back and forth between a pale looking Penelope and a triumphant Desiree.
