Back at the hospital Sorrow was still sound a sleep. Klutzy sighed and shifted his weight, trying not to disturb her. She murmured in her sleep snuggling up to him. She let out a small whimper again.
He gripped her hand and tried to sooth her She accidentally in her sleep dug her fingernails in to the flesh of his palm.
Klutzy swore and tried to pry her hand off of his, "It's all right baby, I'm here" he crooned to her, to get her calmed
She let go of his hand and grabbed a hold of his shirt clutching it, obviously having a nightmare.
Klutzy shifted her so that she was totally in his arms and started rocking her, while stroking her hair,"Sweetheart, it's okay, you're alright, I'm right here"
Sorrow grabbed a hold of him crying in her sleep. There was a light knock on the door, she jerked awake screaming.
The door slowly opened to reveal two men standing there in police uniforms.
Klutzy looked up at them not letting go of Sorrow, "Can I help you?" he asked
The older one spoke up. "We're here on business sir." He said.
Sorrow looked up at them a little frightened.
The younger one walked in, "We're just here to ask some questions at the moment"
"About what?" Sorrow squeaked.
"About things." The older replied pulling out a notebook. "First off what's your name."
Sorrow looked up at Klutzy wearily.
Klutzy sighed, "Do you hafta do this now Officers? This is not the best time"
They nodded. "It's necessary we do it now." The one replied.
Sorrow looked up at them and stared.
Klutzy sighed again and rubbed Sorrows back, "Go ahead Sweetheart, they ain't gonna go away til they get what they want"
"McLennan." She said softly. "Sorrow."
The younger officer started, "did you say McLennan?" he asked peering closer at her
She nodded. "Yes I did." She replied.
"My names McLennan, I wonder..." he trailed off almost speaking to himself
"What's your real name miss. No nicknames. We need real." The other spoke up.
Sorrow sighed heavily. "Evelyn Rose McLennan. Happy now?"
McLennan mouthed the words and looked at her searchingly, finally he turned to his superior, "Sir I need to be released from this case"
He turned around. "James? Is there a conflict."
Sorrow let out a loud gasp.
"Yes sir, conflict of interest doesn't come close." he turned and gestured at Sorrow, "She's my sister"
He gripped her hand and tried to sooth her She accidentally in her sleep dug her fingernails in to the flesh of his palm.
