Your mom was out shopping and I left you two here to go find her. Singer was still just an officer at the time, but he was… a friend. I had to help him. But I wasn't where I needed to be. I wasn't with your mom.&#034 &#034No…&#034 Spencer looked, eyes wide with absolute horror. &#034Mom was one of-&#034 &#034They think she was one of the first.&#034 &#034Then why didn't you tell me… or Carly for that matter?!&#034 Spencer said, starting to get angry again. &#034Freddie looks to you like a father. He would have picked another place if you would have just-&#034 &#034Just what, Spence?&#034 Shay said, standing up to face his son. &#034Tell my son and daughter what really happened to their mother?
