Chapter 16

Monk continues down the hallway, where he tries his best to compile everything together.
Monk thinks to himself:
Obviously, someone here is misleading me. Either Trinity or Angela. Whichever way it goes, however, this is all pretty messed up.
Monk slows down his pace, knowing he's further away from Angela now. He approaches the end of the hallway, where there is a door labeled "Deep memories".
Monk:
I can only imagine what this is all about.
He turns the knob slowly as his heart begins to beat faster and faster. He peaks his head around the corner and notices a movie screen and a projection in the back. A couple of chairs sit in front of the screen. The movie is already beginning to play. 3...2...1. Monk sits down to watch.
On the screen, it's Monk's apartment. The entire scene is in black and white. Enters Trudy, who is on the phone. She is talking, but there isn't any sound. Monk recognizes the scene, but he still would like to hear the sound. He moves over to the projection where a speaker sits; turned off. Monk switches it on, and takes a seat.
ON THE SCREEN:
Trudy on the phone:
Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can.
She hangs up
Monk, who remains unseen:
Who was that, honey?
Trudy; stressed:
No one…I have to go.
She rushes out the door.
Cut to a parking garage. Trudy pushes the door open. The view is from behind her car. Two men are messing with it; their actual actions cannot be seen. They see Trudy coming, so they run the opposite direction.
1st man:
Wait…is it done?
2nd man:
Yeah, should be.
Trudy slams the door shut. Now the view is in the car's passenger side. Trudy sits there, crying. There's a sudden knock on the door. She whips her tears away, although she's still crying. She unrolls the window. There is a man standing there; from the looks of it, he's a doctor.
Doctor:
What's wrong, my dear?
Trudy; sniffling:
I'm not sure if my husband is ready to have a child yet.
The doctor pats her on the back.
Doctor:
He'll be ready; I guarantee it.
Trudy: Thank you, doctor.
She rolls the window up, and the doctor gets in his car and drives away. The view is now in front of the two men, who are standing outside calmly. They watch the doctor drive off.
2nd man:
Holy shit.
1st man:
That was him. Shit, I told you it wouldn't work.
2nd:
No, man…that's not the car we--
Before he could finish, Trudy's car, from the inside of the garage, blew up. The two men run across the street as fast as they can.
The projection shuts off and the lights come back on. Monk sits there, in silence. Tears rush from his eyes.
Trinity's voice:
Dreadful, isn't it?
Monk quickly turns around, to see Trinity standing at the projector.
Monk; crying:
Is that really how it happened?
Trinity:
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, Mr. Monk. The key of importance here is this is an answer.
Monk; beginning to dry up:
Who are you, and why are you doing this?
Trinity:
Mr. Monk…You and Trinity were very much in love. Whether what you saw happened or not, it doesn't matter. When you leave this town, you and everyone else on the face of the earth will move back to the day before you received that letter. This time around, you won't find the letter. And more importantly, none of this will be remembered.
Monk:
Then what was the point? Who are you?
Trinity:
All of your questions will be answered. In time.
Monk:
How can I trust you? Or should I ask…why should I trust you?
Trinity:
You can ask whatever you want, either way, you will follow me and you will do what I say. No matter what. Now…follow me.
Trinity opens the door behind her. A bright light shines from inside, so bright you can't see inside. She calmly walks in. Monk stands there for a moment, takes a deep breath and walks in slowly and nervously.
Trinity's voice:
It's time, Mr. Monk…
TO BE CONTINUED…soon.
