NARAYANNE:her wife

In Wilmington Raymond Jones was having different problems. Agent Steward was helping Ray explain things to his wife. Mrs. Jones sat at the table with the petite young woman and the FBI agent. Stewart, not introducing the young woman, started things off awkwardly, "Mrs. Jones I am aware you husband has been missing a few days. What I am about to tell you will explain your husband's disappearance. What I am about to explain will seem incredible. Also I must have you sign this nondisclosure certificate before we proceed." Reading over the agreement Mrs. Johns nervously joked, "you make it sound like my husband was abducted by aliens." Steward started by asking a few questions about what she had observed about Mr. Verdoun's behavior. Mrs. Jones said she was temporarily acting as Mr. and Mrs. Verdoun's council and could not make such comments. He asked her to listen to his observations and hold comment until he finished. Steward explained how Mr. Verdoun keep insisting he was William Simmons. He explained the fact that Simmons was on the train and how it was believed that Verdoun's body was thrown from the train. He told her of Simmons dead body in being found in Savannah. He then explained about how Verdoun was the only one present in his office when the body of the main line axe murderer was strangled. Sara offered many objections to that Idea. Steward postponed that argument for a bit and went backward through the whole legacy of blood called the domino murders. He went back to the incidence in Verdoun's office and explained that Verdoun was alone in the office with the axe murderer. He then explained that he did not believe Mr. Verdoun was a murderer. But he did believe Mr. Verdoun was a murder victim. Steward's statement caused a strained pause in the conversation. An incredulous Sara Jones asked what other evidence do you have that this sort of thing is even possible before you start telling such tall tails to poor Susan. Steward took a deep breath and reintroduced Raymond Jones to her wife. Sara questioned and cross-examined the "alleged Raymond Jones" holding back anger at the incredible amount of intimate detail this strange woman knew about her and her husband. One of the few things that kept here from strangling this woman on the spot was her lack of knowledge of some of her husband's worst bedtime offences (Ray was blind to that prespective). At least this bitch had not slept with her husband. Sara was sure Ray had at least coached her but this was well beyond any practical joke and that FBI form would not make this conversation admissible in a mental crusty divorce. Ray was getting desperate Sara was as stubborn as he was. He turned the subject from bed to business. After a bit she was yelling at him about always hiding behind his wall of technobable and trying to turn every perfectly good argument into a negotiation. Finally she conceded that this women seated across from her might be her husband. Ray went on to tell her what he remembered of the last four days. Stewart returned to the commiserating couple. He had made himself absent when things started getting personal. After a bit he interrupted. He asked them for help with a few things like what to tell Susan Verdoun. And what to tell Holly's parents. He also told them about the Black Muslim bodyguards surrounding Mrs. Simmons to protect her from the police conspiracy. Sara agreed to help break the news to Susan. Ray said he was not sure of anything about what Hunter had done with Holly. Sara came up with the idea of explaining to Holly's parents that she was doing secret work for the government in an effort to kill the missing persons problem. Stewart said he could not get that one to float with the current federal government hiring freeze so he would work it out through the witness protection program.
