Crystal called Angela in a panic, she needed a ride to the police station, being that she is on complete bedrest she can't drive herself.
Angela takes Aden over to her house for her older kids to watch before heading back to Crystal.
Crystal is a wreck when Angela finally makes it back to her.
Angela: Crissi you have to calm down, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.
Crystal: (Sobbing) I don't know Ang, that was the same day I caught him at her house. I beat her up twice before I left. What if I hurt her too bad and he did something to cover for me, or what if when I left he was so angry he did something to her.
Angela: Crystal no, listen to yourself. The police said she witnessed the accident. Do you think she was in the car with him.
Crystal: No because he left my house and the hosp called shortly after saying Aden was hurt. I don't know Ang, Devale is a different person when he is upset. I need to get to the police station.
Angela: How about I go on your behalf, you're on bedrest.
Crystal: That's my husband and I'm his lawyer Angela. He needs me I have to go. Me and peanut will be fine for an hour.
Angela: Ok, but let the record show I am completely against this.
Crystal: Noted, now can you help me get my shoes on so we can go.
As Crystal was wobbling to her shoe closet she heard Devale yelling from the front.
Devale: Babe I'm back. Thank you Angela, I already know she was on her way downtown.
Angela: No thanks needed, I'm going to head home. Oh Devale Aden is at my house, I'll bring him home in the morning.
Crystal through her hands around Devales neck crying hysterically, she pulled back to get a better look at his face.
Crystal: Are you ok babe. Did they do anything to you, what happened, what's going on?
Devale: I'm good, are you ok? I need you to calm down before you get peanut worked up.
Crystal: I'm calm. Now tell me what happen and babe please tell me the complete truth.
Devale: The complete truth is I have no idea what they are talking about or where she is. I have nothing to do with her being missing.
Crystal: You told me you handled her, how Devale?
Devale: Don't worry about that. The details are not important. What's important is for you to know that I handled that situation and the last time I spoke to her she was alive and well.
Crystal: You can not be serious right now, a woman tied to you is missing on the very night she calls in a accident that you were involved in. Just hours after your wife beat her unrecognizable....DEVALE WHAT HAPPENED.
Devale: The police brought me in for questioning, the fact that I'm home and not in jail should tell you I had nothing to do with her disappearance. Fuck I didn't know she called in the accident, how the fuck would I know that.
Crystal: (yelling and crying hard) So you "handled" her before or after the accident Devale? You're getting on my fucking nerves being all secretive instead of just telling me what the fuck is going on.
Devale: You need to calm the fuck down. I already told you I don't fucking know.
Crystal: Devale what happened after I left that day.
Devale: Crystal lis
Crystal: DON'T CRYSTAL LISTEN ME!
Devale: You about to piss me the fuck off, stop stressing my daughter out before you go into labor. You acting stupid.
Crystal: NO YOU'RE STRESSING US BOTH THE FUCK OUT
Devale: I swear I'm going to leave if you don't stop fucking screaming. I mean it Crystal.
Crystal stops screaming but she can't stop the tears from falling. I'm sorry she says as she heads back to her bed.
Devale: Why are you walking away from me, we're having a conversation.
Crystal: No we're not, I'm trying to, but you're lying and keeping secrets from me. I'll call her parents tomorrow to see what they know. I'm trying to help you, don't you see that?
Devale sighs and throws his hands up, you want me to make something up to tell you when I'm telling you the truth.
Crystal: Don't act dumb. What happened after I left?
Devale stayed silent for a full minute until Crystal got frustrated and walked off.
Crystal called Angela to ask if she minded bringing him home now. Devale interrupted the conversation to say he would go get him.
Crystal: Absolutely not, I would hate for my child to end up in the ER because you driving pissed off with him in the car.
Angela: Uhm I'm going to get him ready, text me and let me know. I don't mind bringing him though.
Devale: Wait so now you saying I caused the accident, do you really believe that?
Crystal: No that's not what I meant.
Devale: So what did you mean? It sounded to me like you saying I'm a neglectful father.
Crystal: I didn't say that, you know what I can tell this is about to get out of hand. It doesn't matter. You don't trust me, and you're being selfish.
Devale: Selfish?!
Crystal:If you did something that's going to take you away from me and leave me with two babies that's very fucking selfish!
Devale: I'm done, it's no getting through to you. Tell Ang I'll be there in 30 minutes.
Devale walked out and Crystal climbed into bed. She had over exerted herself and was tired. Her body needed rest, she needed to slow her mind and her fears down.
Devale calmed down in the 1 hour ride there and back. He just didn't want Crystal to stress and trust him to protect her at all costs.
He took off Adens jackets and sleeper leaving him in his t-shirt and Paw Patrol undies. He put Aden in the bed with Crystal.
He tool a shower and climbed into bed. Him and Aden shifted at the same time causing Crystal to wake up. She needed to use the restroom, she tried to get out of bed without waking Aden.
Devale: Do you need help?
Crystal ignored him, she went to the restroom and climbed back in bed unassisted.
Devale: Sighs while rubbing Adens back who is not fully asleep. Goodnight Crystal.
Crystal turned on the TV for white noise until she fell asleep. Soon as she was almost out she heard the newscaster voice.
Newscaster: Breaking news, the body of missing Chelsea Dianne Smith has been found. The police is not releasing any information at all. Sources close to the victim did verify this is an active homicide investigation. Stay tuned.
Crystal: Look at that, secret is out. Now do you want to tell me what happened?
