-1Lennie's Fall
Chapter One
It was a cold December day when it all began. Lennie had just received a call from his oldest Paul. It was very unusual for him to call; the two had been estranged for several years. Paul requested a meeting, lunch time. Lennie could hardly refuse this request as it was simple.
The two met and Lennie ordered a soft drink, his usual, while Paul was hitting the bottle. Paul looked many years beyond his 27. His eyes were bloodshot, his brown hair long and oily. He appeared nervous and was twitching. Lennie was startled, wondering what had happened to his son. He thought perhaps he was on drugs - but what Paul said next was a father's worst nightmare.
Paul looked straight in to his father's eyes and said, "Pop, I've done something horrible and I need your help. I have to get out of the country."
Lennie replied, "What on earth could be so bad? What, did you murder someone?" Lennie asked as if kidding, he was.
Paul said with a sigh, "Yes I killed my wife Greta, I found out that she was having an affair."
At that moment, Lennie, sober for more than nine years motioned for the waiter - "Give me a double scotch, neat."
