He ran in this empty alley, in fear, shortness of breath, exhausted. He just ran, as if he had done it all his life.
I own nothing, everything goes to Murdoch Mysteries cast, writers, crew etc…
He ran in this empty alley, in fear, shortness of breath, exhausted. He just ran, as if he had done it all his life.
Detective Murdoch felt barely his legs. But he knew that it was about his life, their lifes, and if he couldn't arrive soon, he will lost her, forever.
Three weeks before
Detective Murdoch was in his office, focused on an autopsy report of Dr. Grace. He already had read it dozens of times and yet he still didn't know what he was looking for. He was lost in his mind for a long time, unable to focus on anything at all, unable to think, unable to investigate. He only thought of the recent events again and again.
He sighed deeply and let the file fall on his desk. He closed his eyes and rubbed them, putting his head back, leaning back in his chair.
-Hard day? Said the voice of his chef.
William straightened and turned to him, smiling at him softly.
-We can say that, he sighed.
-For how long didn't you come back to your home to rest?
-We have many work to do and…
-Bullshit, the Station is quiet Murdoch.
-Well, I…
His chef came in the room and sat on the chair in front of him.
-Do you want to talk about?
-To talk about what? Grumbled William frowning.
-I see that something is not right in your noggin, so talking about…
-I don't think that you are the right person to…
-Not me, cutted Brakenreid, to Ogden.
-I…no, he murmured, I don't want to talk about it to Julia.
-Hum, it is because of the mad one, isn't it? Feel you guilty for having let him escape?
-I don't want to talk about Sir, he said shyly, it is personal.
-Well, as you wish, said Thomas standing, but please don't take it as a personnal matter, you could lost what it is important, especially Doctor Ogden. And go to sleep, you are scary.
He didn't want an answer and he left the office without any look back, leaving William exhausted and distraught.
He remained lost in his mind and still during a time before his phone rang and made him jump. He took it, hoping that it is an emergency to let him go on a crime scene and forget eveything. But the surprise was even bigger and pleasant.
-Hello Detective Murdoch, said this voice that he knew so well.
-Hello Doctor Ogden, he answered smiling.
-Did I disturb you?
-No, no I manage some files and I have a little time for you. What can I do for you?
-Well, as it was four days that I didn't have news from you, I ask me how you are. How are you William?
-I…fine, he said sighing.
He heard her laugh and he smiled softly.
-You are a bad liar, do you know that?
-Indeed I was never good at it, he confessed shyly.
-Well, I you don't have something important to do, I would like to invite you for a play, this evening, would you like to?
-Julia, I don't know if…
-Please, begged the Young woman, it will change your mind and I will not go alone. Imagine if I do courted by a wealthy banker and ...
-Which time? Cutted William.
Julia laughed again, knowing that her play Works every time.
-The play begin at height.
-I will pick you at the asylum, so we could dinner before the play if you want to.
-I would be glad.
-So, see you later, then.
-See you later, good bye William, she said lovingly.
-Goodbye, he answered before heard her hang up.
He did the same and took the file again, sighing deeply. Since weeks he couln't think of something else, he desesperly hoped that this evening will make him think to something new, that he will not look to the darkness too much afraid to see a face that he hated. This evening he will be with the woman that he loved and he didn't want that she notice his fear. He had to forget this man during a night, those who the name was write on this yellow page of the file, the name of James Gillies.
To be continued…
