As William and the constables did another search on Sam's room, Julia took Susannah to the morgue, to double check on his autopsy,
"I can't believe I didn't see the signs mama. He was the most exciting, full of life man I knew"
Julia looked up her, as she examined his organs, "darling, it's not your fault. I don't know if I will ever tell you this, but I worked at the Toronto Asylum"
"You do, mama, but go on"
"We had this nurse, who I worked alongside with the patients. She was so full of life, brought happiness to patients, whose families gave up on them. Then one day she didn't show up for work, which concerned me, so, I called her, but it was her mother who picked up the phone and informed me, she had committed suicide."
"My goodness"
"Her parents blamed, the asylum's doctors, but mostly me for her death. They told me, I pushed their daughter onto patients who had no life, and I should have fired her, so she would have a chance to get married and have children."
"Loved ones, always have to blame someday, eh?"
As Julia examined Sam's lungs, she responded, "you have no idea"
"Did you find out why she committed suicide?"
"Yes, the parents still can't blaming me and the asylum, but it turns out it was her pushy parents, especially her mother. She kept pushing her to give up being a nurse, and to marry some man, that she didn't love. But, also her parents found out she was a sapphist, and threatened her lover. Two days before she took her life, she found her lover that committed suicide as well, and it broke her heart."
"Why can't parents just love and accept their children, like you and dad?"
"Darling, when you were born, your father and I promised, no matter the circumstances we would love, and support you no matter what. I didn't want to be like your grandfather."
"Grandpa Lyle? He didn't love and support you?"
Julia breathed out as she sewed Sam back up, "he did, but he didn't show it until too late. When your father and I courted, he didn't care for it."
"But you followed your heart?"
"Yes, your father and I followed our hearts"
Susannah smiled, and felt better, as William entered the morgue, "hello, ladies, anything new to add to the report?"
"Yes, after reexamining his lungs, I noticed intense air pressure, that comes to the conclusion he indeed committed suicide."
"We know, since we found a bunch of suicide letters, one for you Susannah, his aunt and his mother."
"Not his brother?" Susannah asked
He hands her the letter, "just read and it explains why"
She opens the letter and reads it, she gasps, "he found out about Phil's death, and thought it was his fault, so he took his life."
"Does it say who killed Phil?" Asked Julia
"They had a fight about the pin, their aunt broke it off. So, he went to work and he found his body, and his aunt told him to leave and she will call the police" Susannah told Julia
William nodded, "we read the other letters, him saying he was sorry for hurting Phil. So, we asked the aunt, and she admitted she murdered Phil and had Sam believe he did it"
"Why?" Asked Susannah
As Julia put Sam's body back in the freezer and pulled out Phil's.
"It was over the pin, but also an inheritance, from their grandfather."
"Like grandpa Tom always says, follow the money."
"Indeed"
"She the aunt say how she killed Phil?"
"Yes, after the fight, she gave Phil breakfast, and added onion spices to his eggs, and left for his boarding house."
"I bet he was allergic to onions?" Julia said
"Yes, find something else?" William asked
"Yes a rash on his chest"
"Did you know he was allergic to onions?" William asked Susannah
Susannah not paying attention as she kept reading the letter, "Susannah?"
"Oh, what?"
"Did you know, Phil was allergic to onions?"
"No. Sorry, just can't believe their aunt, literally killed them both, just to get money. Sam, told so many stories about her, that she treated them like her own sons"
"Greed can make you do vicious things"
Susannah nodded, "well, my time here is done, so it's time to head back." As she turned the dial on the watch, as she looked up at William, "and remember, don't take the deal"
Julia looked confused, as her and William said their goodbyes, and as Susannah backed up a bit, and disappeared.
It was the next day, Susannah arrived at the station, and approached William's door, he was seated at his desk, as she knocked on the door, "Susannah…"
"You accepted the offer?"
"What?"
She approached his desk, "I went back to my time and found you still had gotten jailed and killed. Mama is still living but she is not herself."
William got up from his desk, "I didn't take the job in Ottawa, but took one in Kingston."
"Dad, get it through your head, don't take any offer. All inspector job offers you take you will end up framed, jailed and murdered."
He rubbed his forehead in frustration, "Sus…"
"No, don't do that dad. I'm not crazy, I am trying to change not just your future, our family future."
"So, please, call the chief inspector and tell him you changed your mind."
"Fine, but how do I explain this to your mother?"
"Leave that to me." She said as she left the station to the morgue
Once she arrived, she saw Julia talking to an attendee as she approached her, "Su…Dorothy"
"Mama, we need to talk"
They had talking for half an hour; Julia was speechless, "darling, are you sure…"
"Mama, I told dad this don't do this to me too. If dad, takes this job or any jobs in the future he will end up framed, jailed and murdered."
Julia nodded, "you said I am different, with each future change?"
"Yes, one I first came back, you committed suicide. Yesterday, future I came back too, you didn't care dad was gone and remarried, within 3 months to a man by the name of Dr. Andrew Dixon"
Julia's eyes went wide, "my goodness"
"There is another timeline, where after dad gets jailed, you don't see him, get a divorced disown me and move to Europe."
"But that's not me, darling"
"No, it's not. This is why I say please, any offers, help dad refuse them."
Julia nodded, "I will for the sake of our families future"
Susannah hugged her, "thank you, mama" backed up touched her watch and was gone.
