Mr Monk and the Hero

by iloveromance

When Monk loses a sentimental possession, he is completely devastated until an unlikely hero comes to the rescue. Written in memory of Stanley Kammel who played my favorite character, Dr. Charles Kroger.

13. Chapter 13

Natalie had tears in her eyes.

"Mr. Monk that was a beautiful story. I'm so sorry you were never able to give Trudy the ring."

Adrian looked away shyly.

"I-I thought about giving it to you. To make up for how terrible I treated you earlier. "

Natalie was touched beyond words...

"Me? Oh no, Mr. Monk. I could never take something you were going to give to Trudy."

Adrian sighed with relief.

"Oh, that's good."

Natalie laughed and brushed away a tear.

"Thank you, Mr. Monk. For thinking of me."

Just then, Adrian's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Adrian this is Dr. Kroger."

"Dr. Kroger... is something wrong?"

"Well, no, but I think you should get over here right away. Can you ask Natalie to drive you?"

"Sure. I'll be right over."

He hung up the phone and looked at Natalie.

"What was that all about?" she asked.

"Dr. Kroger needs to see me right away. I-If you want to, would you mind driving me over there?"

Natalie shook his hand. "Sure, Boss."
