The air was cold and musty in Jake Moon's townhouse in the south of Wales, when he was awoken from his sleep at 3:43am, by the irritating sound of his phone. Jake reluctantly opened his eyes and answered the phone, wondering who could be calling at this time of night.
"Hello", Jake mumbled, still half asleep.
"Jake, it's Alfie; I've got something to tell you, it's pretty serious."
"Alfie, you ….."
"Jake; it's Chrissie, she's in hospital, she's pretty ill and I thought I should let you know….."
"What hospital is it?" Jake asked with a worried tone in his voice.
""South End General" in Spain mate"
"Spain, what's she doing in Spain, I thought she was still in prison"
Alfie spent a few seconds trying to think what to tell Jake.
"Sam Mitchell done a runner so there's not enough evidence to convict Chrissie, so they let her out of prison."
Jake was finding it hard to take in all this information. The love of his life, which he lost because she was sent to prison, was released and now she is in a hospital somewhere in Spain.
"Jake; you still there, I….."
"How do you know all this Alfie?"
"Well… Kat and I met her when we were on holiday here and now we're living with her"
"So you're calling from Spain?"
"Yeah Jake and I think you should come over here, Chrissie's very ill and I know she wants to see you before….."
"Before what, Alfie"
"Well, she's got Meningitis, it's pretty serious Jake"
Jake felt a tear running down his cheek and for a split second he felt numb.
"I'm getting the next flight out there Alfie, tell me where you are and I'll phone you in the morning"
Alfie gave Jake the directions, and Jake packed his bags and left for the airport.
