Kai (looking at the older woman; she seemed like she was the matriarch of the family; the one that made them tow the line): You’re (flipping through some notes) Helena Peabody’s mom.

Peggy (extending her hand): Unfortunately for her at times and you are….

Lisa (proudly): My wife, Kai.

Peggy (looking around): Pleasure, I’m sure you’ll fit in with the rest of my errant children. 

Kai (anxiously): Ms. Porter would you mind if I re examined the yard, and the upper deck. I also might want to look through the master bedroom.

Bette (motioning): Not at all. Let me run upstairs and see if Tina’s sleeping though.

Lisa (catching): I thought you said she and Helena were working.

Peggy (mischievously): Never know. Would you ladies like coffee?

Lisa (nodding): Sure but I want to look at the upstairs hallway and get some measurements.

Office
Helena (tears falling down her face): Gods, why didn’t you, Tina there was no need to keep this bottled up…

Tina (bitterly): Like you don’t…

Helena (turning her head): It’s different…

Tina (angrily): Why? Because you were in prison. Because you (holding her hands out’; sarcastically) deserved it. Is that what you’re saying? That’s it was okay for you to be hurt and used because you were a convicted prisoner and I was an innocent child. There’s no difference.

Helena (angrily): It is different. (Shaking her head; caressing Tina’s face)and yes, you were an innocent child. You’re sister and your father I want to kill them both for hurting you.

Tina (hugging her): No. I won’t have you and Bette arrested for murder (not realizing that, that part of the conversation was heard.) You and Bette have come so far and I won’t see you lose everything over something that happened…

Lisa (listening): Shit. This can’t be right. They both killed her. Bette I could see and Helena (pondering) maybe. (Knocking on the door she opened it to find Helena and Tina close together. A little too close for just friends.) I heard someone talking and here you are. (Shutting the door) all right be honest. What’s really going on? Was it you or was it Ms. Porter, Ms. Peabody…
