living room. He walked straight to his bedroom. Lucinda awoke and could tell that he was disturbed. “What’s wrong dear?”
“Why is that whore in my house? I worked all night long to come home to find that home wrecker lying on my sofa! I want that bitch out of my house! I want you to get up and put her out! Do you hear me! Tell her to get out!”
“What is wrong with you? You need to calm down.”
“If you don’t put her out, then I will throw her out. “Lower your voice. Sarah is going to hear you. She drank too much. She couldn’t have driven home safely.”
“I don’t want you hanging out with that woman.”
“David , you have over stepped your boun d ary.
“No! You over stepped your boundary by inviting her into our house!”
“You are my husband but that doesn’t give you the right to give me an ultimatum to end my friendship with Sarah!”
Sarah knocked on their bedroom door. “I am going to be leaving. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble. Please forgive me, David. I am sorry, Lucinda. You guys should make up; I should not have stopped by your house. I’m sorry.”
While she was apologizing, they remained quiet. A few seconds later, her quick steps could be heard on the wooden hallway floor as she walked away.
Lucinda said, “I hope she is not traumatized by your harsh words. She didn’t deserve to be treated so badly. S arah has been through a lot recently. She needed someone to show her compassion and understanding.”
“Are you done with your rhetoric? I need to get some sleep. I have nothing else to say.”
“Go ahead get your sleep! You don’t care about my feelings anyway!”
Grabbing a robe, she stormed out of the bedroom. Lucinda broke down in tears kno w ing she would eventually have to tell her hu s band that she is caring another man’s baby.

Detective Burks and his colleague Andrew Durden discussed following up on leads d e rived from the statement given by Nancy Gi v ens. Burks stated, “The owner of the cabin next to Ms. Givens’ home according to our t i tle search is Janet L. Myers. She was willed the property by her deceased father. ”
Durden replied, “We have to gather enough evidence to search it.”
“Ms. Givens said she saw the male suspect throw something in to the huge retention pond across the street from the cabin.”
“I know it’s a long shot, but there may be a way to use Ms. Givens’ statement to have the pond searched. The idea about having it searched has already come up due to a missing young woman in the area. By interjecting the hopes of solving both cases we may garner enough community support to pressure the a u thorities to get it done.”
Vincent was relaxing at home when his doorbell rang. Upon opening the door, he n o ticed Lucinda crying profusely.
“What’s wrong lady?”
“Vince, we have got to talk.”
“Okay.”
After being invited into the house, she took a seat.
“You are going to be a father.”
“What did you say?”
“I’m having your baby.”
“We never discussed you having a baby ! What ever happened to people planning to be parents? I’m a high profile attorney with hopes of running for a U.S. Senate seat ! Why should I have to kiss my political ambitions goodbye?”
“I know your position on abortion . Y ou b e lieve life begins at conception.”
“That has been my view.”
“What do you mean?”
“I have changed my position ! I have worked to o hard to achieve my current status in life for you to destroy it with a baby . I’ll arrange for the procedure. All you have to do is coo p erate to put an end to this nightmare before it gets any worse. What does your husband think about you being pregnant by another man?”
