7: Questioning
Pittsville. A small town that’s only getting smaller.
With a modest building for its modest force.
Inside, Lucy paces and Max slouches while they wait for their Mom.
“Yep, something is definitely not right about this place, Max.” Lucy confirms.
“How come you got so many lost dogs and cats in this town?”
“Well, you see sweetie, we got a lot of bobcats out in the woods around here.”
“I don’t think that’s it… sugar.” She mutters to herself.
Down the hall, there are a lot of questions.
“So, Mrs. Kingdom, you say that you stopped at Chad’s for gas and a break? Then you got back on the road? Then you slid into the ditch? Then Wilson gets out of the van to check on things and that’s the last you saw of him?”
“Yes, that’s correct. That’s what happened.”
“Ok, well now, I do have to ask, Mrs. Kingdom, would your husband have any reason to want to run off and leave you and the kids?”
“In the middle of an ice storm? In the middle of nowhere? No.” Monica raises her voice. “Everything is fine at home. We are very happily married and as you can obviously see, we are working very hard to increase the size of our family. So, no, he hasn’t run off. ”
