They checked Fudge's register, and there it was- 'Susan Parker'. She visited Fudge's office daily but never actually met him.
Another lead that they got was that she came early when Sherman visited Fudge as a patient and during lunch when he came as his partner.
As soon as they got this information, Detective decided to meet Susan.
The meeting was impromptu. Susan was fidgeting, perhaps she was nervous or frightened.
To make her feel comfortable and get answers without creating any doubt in her mind he started talking to her.
"Hello Miss, I am really grateful that you agreed to meet me today. I'm sorry for no prior notice. I have been told that you learn the piano and probably are a professional now. Can you please tell me who your teacher is and how he is?"
Susan was a very blunt and bold person.
"You don't have to do this. I know you are a Detective and you are the one investigating my dad and uncle Fudge's disappearance." She said looking exasperated.
"Daisy is my best friend. Her father is uncle Fudge. Uncle Fudge's best friend is Sherman that is my dad." She answered the unasked question.
"She told me that a few months back she overheard Sherman talking to uncle Fudge addressing me as his daughter. Ever since then I decided to find out the reason behind keeping me away from him."
The detective was piqued and thought - Huh......so everyone knows everything. Then why the hell am I investigating and investing my precious time in searching something unattainable as the men disappearing?
"Why do you live here? With your friend?" Detective inquired.
"My parents won't accept me so I was kinda left with no choice." Her tone was extremely sarcastic.
"We know about your dad but what about your mom?"
"I don't remember it clearly but.....it was my birthday, I was turning five. My mom invited all my friends to a party. Everyone brought gifts for me. I ate candies, cakes and what not. My house was full but my chest was hollow. I was happy but sad at the same time. Everyone I loved was here except that mystery man who denied me as a baby. Ever since I went to kindergarten, I used to see my peers come with their dads. I always thought that if I was good enough, my dad would return and do the same." She was weeping like an unloved child.
"On that day, when I was sitting with my friends and enjoying, a man entered and started talking to my mom. He was apologizing perhaps. His face carried a melancholy expression. Sometime later I could not find my mom. She never met me again." She was sobbing even more now.
"Am I so undesirable? " she exclaimed.
The detective was really overwhelmed after the little revelation. He decided not to interrogate her anymore and talk about it when she gains her calm.
