Part Two – The Needed Time

Chapter One

Tania came into Ed's office. "Ed, there's a kid at reception" said Tania.

"I've no time for it, Tan" said Ed. "Tell him I'm too busy." Ed had been feeling the strain of the recent events, and although on the outside, he tried to give a tough image, he was still traumatised by the disappearance of Carol.

"He's very insistent" said Tania.

"Has this kid got a name?" asked Ed, throwing down his pen and taking off his spectacles.

"Lyndon Parry" said Tania.

Ed rose from his desk. "Why didn't you say that in the first place" he said as he pushed past Tania. Ed looked at Lyndon for a moment. It was almost like looking into the past, looking at what Lyndon was like before he broke out. "All right son?"

"Yeah. All right" said Lyndon, unconvincingly. "I . . . I just came to say thanks. Thanks for saving my mum." With that, the tears that had been welling up in his eyes were suddenly released.

"Come on son" said Ed, hugging Lyndon. "It's all right now."

"I just can't stop thinking about it, Ed" said Lyndon. "I can't stop thinking about what happened to Auntie Carol."

"I know, I know" said Ed. "Now let's stop these tears shall we? You don't see Slash crying like that do you? We'll just ask Tania to make us a nice cup of tea, and we'll talk about it, okay?"
