Darksper drabble. Probably should be posting at Halloween. Don't want to wait that long. Don't know if there will be a happy ending.

Chapter 14 – Caught

I decided to try an aggressive tactic, to determine if he even was a doctor. I asked him, "What made you want to be a doctor?"

"I've always had a desire to help people," he said simply.

"Did you ever consider going into acting?" I said.

He looked startled and then shook his head, smiling. "People seem to think I am handsome, but rarely phrase it that way. You are…different."

No, I am on to you, I thought.

Soon we arrived in New York, and Dr. Cullen and I got off the plane together and headed for luggage and customs.

Now that I was back home in the United States, I decided to be a bit bolder with my suspicions. I really felt that this doctor might know something. I decided to take his picture and send it to Charlie. When I got home, I was going to ask him to investigate him for me. Was he really a doctor? Did he have a case with Millicent's law firm?

I bent to mess with my shoe, and while I was down, I tried to take his picture with my iPhone when I thought he wasn't looking. He turned his head at the last second, though, and something dangerous flashed behind his eyes. I backed away from him instinctively, and the look was gone.

He put the smile back onto his face and gallantly offered to carry my bags for me. Of course I didn't have any, which he clearly thought was odd, but I didn't care. I finally felt I had something that might be a clue to Millicent.

After he claimed his bags and we cleared customs, we walked to the Arrivals gate.

"Perhaps we can share a cab," he said.

"No, I'll just take the train," I replied, as I didn't want him to know I was catching a connecting flight. "I'll be fine."

"As you wish," he said, with a slight tone of regret, and then walked out the sliding glass doors.

I ducked into the washroom, wanting to make sure he was gone. I had heard that some airport bathrooms had entrances at both ends. If that was the case, I planned to leave via the other exit. No such luck, so I went out the door I came in.

As I exited, I looked right and left, and felt relieved when I didn't see the handsome doctor waiting.

So I started to step back into the terminal. Suddenly, I was pulled back against something that felt like stone, and a cold hand covered my mouth. My nostrils were pinched shut and mouth held closed until things went black, and I saw nothing.

THIS IS A DRABBLE.
