"You needed to talk to me about something what was it?" She asked now looking into the beautiful blue hues.

Spencer looked back into the brown hues. "What happend in Iraq?" 

The question caught Ashley off guard she moved her eyes from Spencer’s. She had done four tours there until the war was over. She had only let one person in about it and that was her shrink no one else knew or carried the weight. That was one of the reasons why she had become a cop to begin with. She had left Spencer to go into the U.S. Army she didn’t do it for the money hell she has money which was never a issue. She was zoning but she heard the phone ring which caused her to come back. She watched Spencer get up and answer it. Saved by the phone she thought.

Spencer hung up the phone and looked to Ashley. "That was the hospital." Spencer watched Ashley stand up and go over to her. "Somehow he got past the guards.." She was having a hard time getting it out tears had started coming down her face. She was emotoinally involved in this case and she knew from the start she would be but the tears kept on coming. "He killed her."

Ashley wrapped her arms around Spencer letting her cry while holding her closely. "Shh baby its going to be okay." She said softly holding her patting her back softly. She countinued to cry for about thrity minutes and Ashley just comforted her the best she could do. She helped Spencer to the couch and then went to the bottom of the stairs. "Kids get down here please!" She yelled hearing them on their way down Ashley sat down next to Spencer.

"Whats up?" Asked Chris coming down with his siblings watching Spencer stand up and sit in the chair.

"Sit down Chris next to your brother and sister." Ashley said watching him sit down next to them on the couch.

"Is it about mom?" Asked Travis looking at Ashley.

"Yeah is it about mom?" Repeated Michelle.

Ashley looked to Spencer who looked back to at her. She searched in those blue eyes seeing that Spencer could tell the kids. Ashley went and sat on the coffee table infront of them. "Yeah its about your mom." She said looking at them and then to Spencer then at them once again. "Spencer got a call from the hospital." She didn’t want to be telling these kids this especially these kids. "Your mother died." She watched the kids start to cry and Spencer get up comforting them.
