Happy Valley Police Station
“Where is he where is my husband?” asks Dottie coming into the police station of Natalia
“I’m sorry Mrs Martin .He’s in the cells.”Natalia says” Would you like me to take you there?”
“Yes please Natalia. The girls are worried sick. Luckily T.J and Jaime are out of the country. I’m hoping we can get this settled and I won’t have to call either of them.”Dottie says
“You should probably call them Mrs Martin.”Natalia states
“Why?” Asks Dottie here eyes narrowing
“I’ll let Mr. Martin explain to you what happened.”Natalia says as she takes Dottie to tad in the cells
“Hi honey fancy meeting you here.” Says Tad joking
“It’s not funny Tad. Why are you locked up here?”Asks Dottie
“Have you heard about Colonel Mustard in the office with a knife?”Tad jokes
“Tad!” admonishes Dottie
“Well okay it’s Tad Martin in the closet while Colonel Mustard kills Iris Blanco.”Says Tad
“Are you saying you were there while Iris Blanco was murdered? Then why have they got you locked up and not the offender?” asks Dottie dumbfounded
“I didn’t see them and when I came out of the closet Iris was trying to take the knife out which would have caused massive bleeding so I tried to keep it in but she managed to get it out and she died.”Tad states
“I don’t understand why you’re here.”Dottie says
“She took the knife out and the police arrived and the knife was still in my hands.”Tad explains
“And they think you killed her? Surely Jesse knows you wouldn’t do that.” Dottie says
“Dottie honey, even Jesse can’t get me out of this one. If Jack doesn’t find out who did this or doesn’t leave doubt with the jury I’m going to jail” Tad explains
“This can’t be happening. That evil witch even in death she’s still ruining or lives.”Dottie says
“Dottie I’ve never heard you talk that way.”Tad says surprised
“Yes well you’ve never seen me when my family has been threatened.”Dottie says
“Quiet Dottie if they hear you they’ll think you’ll conspired with me.”Tad cautions
“I wish I had killed the bitch.”Dottie says as a police officer in the corner hears it all
“Dottie, honey it will be okay but for now you have to look after the home front I’m counting on you to look after the kids.”Tad says
“When can you get out on bail?”Asks Dottie
“Jack said the judge can’t hear my bail until tomorrow so I’m stuck here until at least then.”Tad says
“What am I going to tell Kathy and the others?”Asks Dottie
“Tell Kathy and the other kids I’ve been arrested but it’s all a mistake that will be straightened out soon.”Tad says
“Sorry Mrs. Martin but your time is up .You have to go now.”Natalia says
“Okay I love you Tad.”Dottie says
“I love you too. Te quiero con todo mi corazón mi reina” Tad says
“Ti amo.” Dottie says
“That was sweet.” Natalia says “Does Tad always says I’ll love you forever and call you his queen?”
“Tad is a romantic of course he does.” Dottie answers “Besides we’ve only been married less than a year and we’ve loved a lifetime.”
“Yes I heard you were married once before. How do you know that getting married is the right thing? asks Natalia ”how do you know that he’s needs won’t over shadow yours?”
“I take it this is about you and Brot?”Asks Dottie
“We’re engaged but I keep putting off the date and Brot is getting impatient with me.”Natalia answers
“Do you love him?”asks Dottie softly
“Yes but I want to be my own person. You know? Brot needs someone to look after him as much as he says he doesn’t .He’s all cross about that but he loves when I pamper him. Yet he takes time to pamper me when I come home.”Natalia answers
“So do you feel you have a partnership? Can you say anything to him even if he gets mad?”Dottie asks
‘Yes.”Natalia answers immediately
“Then I think you’ve answered your own question.”Dottie says
“I have haven’t I. Thanks Mrs. Martin.”Natalia says
“Dottie please Mrs. Martin is my mother-in-law Ruth.”Dottie says
“Thanks Dottie maybe I can pick a date now. I wonder would you consider being a bridesmaid? Now that Randi can walk a little with her cane I’m hoping she’ll be well enough to be my Matron of Honour soon.”Natalia asks
“I’ll be happy to hopefully by then this will be all over .I have to go now. Goodbye Natalia and let me know the date.”Dottie says leaving
Natalia goes over to Brot’s desk where he’s just come in from investigating Iris Blanco’s murder.
“Do you have a couple of minutes Brot?”Natalia says
“Maybe just a couple for you.”Brot says smiling
“ I want to set a date for our wedding how about Thanksgiving?”Asks Natalia
“Really?” says Brot pleased but surprised
“Really on Thanksgiving I want to be Natalia Fowler-Munroe” Natalia says
“You decide to take my name?”Brot asks surprised and pleased again
“”Yes I figured it would be easier once we had kids if they had the same last name.”Natalia says smiling
“I love you Natalia.”Brot says
“I love you too but we are at work and we need to solve a case so let’s get back to work.”Natalia says but then looks around seeing everyone busy reaches down and kisses Brot on the lips. She straightens up and pretend she didn’t to the police in the station as Brot smiles happily.
