"So can someone clarify why your supposed wife, Rosemary, isn't living with you?" Logan asked.

They took a few moments to go up to New York. They were were at the Masterson family town house. Logan still didn't understand why he had to drive them there. A wife should live with a husband, that was just basic logic. The professor he knew loved his wife more than life itself and constantly had mentioned her in every story of his life. But apparently during this time in their life they were separated or something. He was starting to put the pieces of this together. Hank said there was something that went do between the two of them. But what could it have been? Maybe a fight.

"She does. But she moved in with her parents seven months ago. Before then she just spent every other two weeks. Closer to a therapists office, medical professionals, her church, and emotional support of her family. She's supposed to come back in March when she is finished recovering," Charles explained.

"Recover from wha-"

Charles cut him off quickly. "Let's go. As much as I love Rosemary, the last thing I need to spend access amounts of time with my in-laws."

They got out of the car and walked over to the door. They rang the golden doorbell.

Rose's mother, Elizabeth, opened the door and then quickly scoffed in complete disgust at her son-in-law.

"What do you want, Charles?" She asked.

"Rosemary," he stated.

"I'm sorry, but my daughter was emotionally destroyed. She isn't going anywhere until she is okay. And maybe not even then. She is best under our care."

"What are you talk about, you are the women responsible for childhood anorexia."

"And do you believe you in your issues, are ready to take care of her in her depression? I believe not. That's why you left her here with me, isn't that right?"

"Okay, we don't have time for this," Logan stated using his arm to push the blonde and saddled woman back so Charles could go in and search for his wife. Hank followed and apologized for what they were doing (which was wrong on many levels). He followed the men down the hallway into the dining room where everyone was having breakfast together, including Rosemary.

"Charles?" She questioned looking up. She looked over at his usual accomplice who seemed very uncomfortable with the fact that they entered a house without permission. "Hank?" Then a man she never saw before, who seemed all to comfortable with entering as he pleased (his second time in one day). "Some buff guy?"

Rosemary was dressed like a mini version of her mother. Was in a blue and green flower dress, green sweater, black gloves and heels, a pearl necklace, and her hair was pulled into a proper bun. She had a face full of more makeup than a woman should be wearing. Charles raised an eyebrow. Rose usually preferred no makeup or very little. And she looked just so miserable and was talking and moving slow. She did regain some of the weight she lost but she was still so skinny. Her skin was very pale and lifeless. He couldn't believe he just left her here.

He walked over and grabbed her hand. "Come on, we're leaving Rosemary. I'll explain it all in the car."

He lead her out of the house. Elizabeth tried to stop them at the door. "Rosemary Leah, you get back into the kitchen. You were just getting better." Logan pushed her back again and they continued out of the building. Hank followed and continued to apologize to everyone.

Rose got onto the back of the car and just looked around dazed and confused. "Are we going home?"

"No, we're going to DC," he corrected.
