Chapter 1: Help and Support
Song: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"—Michael McDonald (originally sung by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell)
As Bobby sat there and sat at his deceased mother's now empty bed, he tried to calm his brain but to no avail. It was going into overload as Mark Ford Brady's comments were echoing nonstop amongst other things. That is the one thought that Bobby did not want in his mind but he could not get it out of his head.
However, there was one comment more like words of support that he wanted to keep in his brain, Alex's words of support.
Bobby, whenever you need a shoulder to lean or cry on or a sympathetic ear know that I am here doesn't matter night or day just let me know.
Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no vally low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way,some how
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
No wind, no rain
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
It was then Bobby realized just how much Alex cared for him, as a partner and as a friend. She was always in his corner no matter how idiosyncratic he was she was there.
After another half hour of silence he decided he needed to get out of there. Right as he finished packing the last of his mother's stuff into the cab he hailed he took one last took at Carmel Ridge got in left.
After he gave the cab driver the address, he sat quietly for awhile and then heard his phone buzz.
He got it out and saw that it was Alex.
"Goren," answered Bobby.
"Hey just wanted to check up to see how you are doing, still at Carmel Ridge?"
"No I left already."
A bit of silence and then Alex said, "Bobby I think it would be better if you stayed night my place and I am not taking no for an answer."
Bobby smiled for a bit, the mental telepathy they shared was stronger than ever.
"Actually I am headed in your direction."
"Great, I will see you in a bit then?"
"Yeah."
"Oh and I will order dinner, so everything will be taken care of when you get here. Call me when you are at the front door."
"Okay."
With that they hung up and for the time Bobby was slowly beginning to feel like himself again.
