Time Does Not Always Heal
Chapter 1:
Inspector Lewis and Chief Superintendent Innocent stood in the hallway looking worriedly at Sargent Hathaway as he sat in the corner of the office tapping a pencil on his teeth.
"What is he doing?" Questioned Innocent. "How long has he been this way?"
Robbie stared blankly watching his friend. "He needs help," Innocent demanded.
Inspector Lewis turned to glare at his boss. "Robbie, if he does not snap out of this ..." She stopped herself from saying anymore. "Just do what you can," Innocent mumbled as she walked away from the worried Inspector.
Taking a deep breath, Lewis reached for the door knob, he put off confronting his moody partner long enough. Before he could open the door his mobile began to play the familiar tune set for incoming calls from Dr. Hobson. "No Laura, there's no change," Lewis turned away from the pitiful scene and walk outside to the car park.
"What's he doing?" Doctor Hobson questioned Lewis.
Lewis rolled his eyes wishing everyone would stop asking him the same questions. "The same thing he's been doing for the past ten days. He's not doing anything, just sitting. Once in a while he will pace and grumble," giving the same answers he gave everyone.
Laura thought for a long silent minute, "I've got a plan!" She finally answered.
Lewis listened to her plan, a look of terror crossed his face. Lewis checked the mobile making sure he was still talking to the gentle Doctor Hobson.
"No, no, no, NO! We can't do that! He will kill us. He will never talk to us again," he groaned.
Evilly Laura defended her plan and finally convincing the inspector her plan must be put into action. "We'll do it tonight," she said.
"No," Lewis started to refuse.
"I SAID," she repeated herself more firmly, "We'll get him tonight. Take James away from here. Away from all the memories. We'll make him forget." Laura repeated her plan. Lewis just sat in his car wishing things never came to this.
