Alex Cross's Trial Chapter 7

Chapter 7

After the court case, Ben walks home.
His mind is racing over everything that's happened, but he's not prepared for what's about to happen next. (Hmm…is that foreshadowing? It sure sounds like it…)
When Ben gets home, Meg, his wife, isn't around, but there's a peach pie fresh out of the oven.
Ben asks the cook, Mazie, where Meg is and is told she went out for a while and was pretty upset.
Even though his wife is kind and compassionate, Ben knows she doesn't love him taking charity cases all the time. It's tough on them and doesn't pay.
He sits down to play the banjo since he's been trying to learn it for a while.
Everything seems so rushed now. He thinks back to a time when he was in Mississippi and things weren't as manic.
That makes him think of his mom.
