Martha Rogers swooped into the precinct. "Where's my son?" She asked.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am, but you just can't come in here and start asking questions." The nearest detective commented.
"Do you know who I am? Who my family is? My son called to tell me his wife was murdered, and he's not at home, so where is he?"
"Captain, I think you better take this one."
"Come on in, and let's talk." Montgomery motioned her inside. "Why don't you sit down?"
"Where are they? I haven't heard Richard this upset since I told him I was getting married. Who could've done this to Meredith?" She cried.
"Here," Montgomery said and handed her a tissue. "One of our detectives took them somewhere safe to talk, Ms. Rogers. Your son mentioned you weren't in town yet, and he couldn't leave his daughter alone."
"At least he did one thing right; he's 'always digging for the story no matter the cost, even if it puts his family in danger. And it's better to get both of them away from the crime scene. "
"Would you like to see the body?" He asked. "It might give you some closure. Our ME is still examining her, but you're still welcome to look. Maybe you can spot something we missed."
"Thank you. And at least someone recognizes me."
"My wife likes to watch Temptation Lane. You're character was pretty memorable even if she was only on for a couple of weeks." He opened the door and led her to the morgue.
"Oh my God! How could anyone…" Martha exclaimed as Lanie uncovered her face. She openly wept. After all, Meredith was one of her first students, and she thought the girl was perfect for Rick at the time. Who would take a mother from her child and husband? Then she noticed it; Meredith wore a piece of jewelry from the set of her latest movie. One set in Malibu, CA. She pointed this out to Lanie.
"Thank you, I'll get right on it." She escorted the distraught mother-in-law out the door and up the steps. "Go home and rest. I'll get in touch with your son and let him know where you are." She said.
