"Of course I've heard of S.T.A.R. Labs, Martin was always vocal about the competition," Clarissa, Martin's wife says. "Although, he spoke very highly of you," she says to me. "You were one of his favorites, in class."

I smile. "I'm glad to hear that. I think very highly of him myself," I reply.

"S.T.A.R. Labs is actually helping the CCPD looking into your husband's disappearance, Mrs.Stein," Barry tells her.

"Oh, please. Call me Clarissa," She replies.

"The Conway Prize for Scientific Advancement," Dad reads out loud.

"Martin was very proud of that one," Clarissa tells us.

"I'd always hoped to win one of these myself," Dad says. "Oh, and look at that. He won it three times."

"Takes a special kind of person, to make him jealous," I tell Clarissa.

"Well, Martin had a talent for making people jealous. Even me. I sometimes think Martin loved his theorems and experiments more than he did me," Clarissa admits.

"I'm sure that's not true," Cait tells her.

"And you haven't heard from your husband since he disappeared," Barry asks.

"No."

"Mrs. Stein, could I show you a photograph?" Barry asks as I take a picture of Ronnie out and hand it to her. "Have you seen this person before?"

"Yes, I have. Who is he?" Clarissa asks.

"Um.. He's just a person of interest in your husband's case case," Barry explains.

"When did you see him?" I ask her.

"I started getting the feeling that someone was watching me, and sometimes I still do. And about a month after Martin disappeared, that young man showed up here," She explained.

"So it appears Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond have something in common besides sharing a body. They both feel the need to protect the women they love," Dad explains.

"Clarissa said she feels like she's being watched," I say.

"Well, then, this has all the makings of a stakeout," Dad says.

"But Barry's got a date tonight and Olivia is going to meet Willa," Cait says.

"I'll cancel," Me and Barry say in unison.

"No! No, go. If we need you guys here, something tells me we can get you back in a hurry," Dad tells us.
