Just as DeMarco shook her head, a nurse came in through one of the doors to the side of the room. She looked around for a moment, spotted Kate and DeMarco and then waved them forward. The agents joined her at the door and followed her down a small hallway.

Youll be meeting with Dr. Amy Shilling, the nurse said. I believe shes pulling up the records you were asking about earlier.

She led them to the end of the hallway and then to the right at a small T-intersection. She gestured to the first room along this hallway. The door was open, revealing a woman in a white doctors gown sitting behind a desk, looking at something on a laptop. She looked up as Kate knocked softly on the door.

Dr. Shilling? Kate asked.

Thats me. Youre the agents, I assume?

They ran through a quick round of introductions as Shilling invited them to take two of the three seats in front of her desk.

So, I have the records here on Wendy Fuller. The last thing I have for her is a series of tests that she underwent at the suggestion of her family MD. That was sixteen years ago. Does that sound right to you?

Thats the time table, for sure, Kate said.

And while we arent even sure these records would have anything to do with what were looking for, exactly, DeMarco said, were trying to get the broadest picture possible.

Can I ask what this is about? Shilling asked.

We cant reveal the minute details, but the broader picture is on the news. Wendy and her husband were murdered a few days ago. In their home in Deton, Virginia.

Oh my goodness, Shilling said. Though I suppose the move explains why this is the last record I have on her.

Do you recall her at all? Kate asked.

Not specifically. I see many women for infertility concerns.

I figured youd remember her because she was a success story, DeMarco said.

Excuse me?

Well, she did end up having a daughter. Mercy Fuller.

When was that? Shilling asked.

It would have been about a year after she met with you.

As Kate listened to the exchange, she realize that something was very much off here. She could see it in Shillings expression. She could hear it in DeMarcos quickly suspicious tone.

Well, this record shows that we conducted the tests, Shilling said. It also shows that we got the results of all of them but we were never able to contact Mrs. Fuller. From what it says here, we never got in touch with her. We called and emailed, but there was never anything. No word from her at all.

So she never got the results? Kate asked.

No. Its almost as if she didnt want to hear it.

And what were the results, Dr. Shilling? DeMarco asked.
