Chapter 14: Identity Known
Back at the hospital
After the celebrations and jubilations died down, Chief McGinnis pulled Iola out
to do her interview. The door to the waiting room opened once more and Dr. Alan
Quartermaine came into the room. He was Carson's doctor and trusted friend of many
years.
"Hello - Alan." Carson said as he stepped away from Hannah and shook his
hand.
"I just heard that Nancy was stabilized. Congratulations! Now that you know
that I want you to go home and get some rest. I don't want you to have a heart attack
and admit you into this hospital also. We have a one Drew limit. Now go home, put
your feet up and rest! Doctor's orders! Hannah make sure that he follows them! And no
if ands or butts Carson. You are wearing yourself thin with worry; you need to keep
strong for Nancy." Alan finished.
"I will make sure he follows orders, Doctor. I promise he will if he knows what's
good for him." Hannah threatened as she picked up her coat and purse.
"Will you two stop talking as if I am not even here? Someone should stay with
Nancy, in case anything, God forbid happen." Carson said as Hannah handed him his
coat to put on.
"Mr. Drew, I haven't had my statement taken yet. Frank hasn't either. We will
stay. I promise we won't ever leave her." Joe said as he stood beside Frank. That vow
meaning more then words could ever mean. Nancy was the sister he never had. He
would take care of her, along with Frank of course.
Carson nodded his head in thanks. The Hardy boys had looked after his
daughter many times before with out fail. He trusted them with his own life.
"Let me know the instant anything changes. Bess, George, and Will you are all
welcome to stay at the house if you like. " Carson said before taking Hannah's hand and
leaving the room.
The Interview Room
Iola had just finished retelling everything she saw, heard, and thought. "Any
more questions' chief?" Iola asked.
"Just one more; do you recognize this woman/girl in this picture?" Chief McGinnis
asked as he slid a picture over to her.
Iola took one look and had sheer horror on her face, and let out a scream.
10pm - The wait goes on..
George, Bess, and Will had also left with promises to bring books, board games,
blankets and pillows back for Frank, Joe, and Iola. They were pretty sure Iola would
want to stay with Joe.
Frank and Joe were talking quietly with their parents and Aunt Gertrude when
they heard a scream. Joe immediately took off running out the door and down the hall to
the interview room. He knew Iola's scream from anywhere. He pushed open the door
and took her into his arms. Iola was shaking, from fear and disgust. Frank, his parents,
and his Aunt rushed into the room a few minutes later.
"Iola, who is it? Who is it in the picture? We need to know as soon as possible.
That's our lead suspect in who hurt Nancy. Who is it?" Chief McGinnis asked Iola in
rapid fire form.
Iola was just shaking her head and pulled her head away from the curve of Joe's
neck to respond with, "Why of all people? Why? I don't understand. Joe - I'm scared.
I'm truly scared." Iola returned her head to the curve in Joe's neck and started silently
crying.
Joe along with everyone else was mystified at Iola's statement. She had worked
some pretty scary cases with Joe, Frank, and Nancy. It took a lot to scare her.
"Can we see the picture?" Joe asked.
"Sure. It's right here." Chief McGinnis said as he handed everyone the own copy.
At the Drew home.
Hannah had just finished making up the living couches for Bess, Will, and
George. She sent them a cooler full of snacks and drinks, pillows and blankets galore,
books, games, and puzzles. She went into Carson's study where he checking his email.
"Hey, what are you doing? The doctor told you to rest, so upstairs with you now
and out of my room." Hannah said as she shooed him away from the desk and towards
the door.
"Your room ? Carson asked confused.
"Yes. Eloise is in my room, so last night I slept on the pull out couch in the living room.
Yet, George, Bess, and Will are staying here tonight so I gave them the living room,
because it could fit the three of them comfortably. So I am now moving to your study,
unless I have somewhere else to go." Hannah said a little slyly.
"You have another room you could go to. If you that's what you really want." Carson
replied
"And if it is? Is it what you really want?" Hannah countered. She had hid her feeling for
so long. Could this finally be happening?
Carson looked at her for a moment, before sweeping her up in his arms and
carrying her up the stairs. He shut the door to his room with his foot. He set her down
and looked at her.
"Is this right? Is this right to feel so happy at the thought of making love to a woman
who has had my love for many years, when my daughter is laying on an operating table
her fate undecided?" Carson said as he looked into her eyes.
Hannah was looking down and responded with a quiet whisper, "No, it's not. I should
go." With that finished Hannah headed for the door.
A plane over the Atlantic Ocean
Callie and her lover sat down in their seats. "Hmmm. I guess airplane bathrooms are big enough." Callie said laughing an evil laugh.
Her lover just nodded his head in agreement. He took a long look at Callie, she looked like the cat that just ate the cream, or however that old saying went.
"Just eight hours more, and then let freedom ring!" Callie exclaimed happily before snuggling her head on to his shoulder and falling asleep.
Arrivals and Realizations
Bess, George, and Will walked back into the waiting room to find it empty.
George's arm load dropped to the floor and she turned a pale white. "Oh God.
Something happened. We were only gone a few minutes." George spoke as she started
to slide to the floor; Will dropped what he had in his arms and reached for her. He
managed to grab before she reached the floor. Bess's arm load of things had also fallen
to the floor; tears were streaming down her cheeks.
Bess ran out of the room not knowing where she was going just knowing she had
to get out of the hospital. The hospital was a bad place, filled with sorrow and death.
George sat cuddled up in Will's arms sobbing and thinking the worst, she hadn't even
heard Bess leave.
Meanwhile, back in the interrogation room Frank exploded with curses, lines of
hate and "I am going to kill her with my bear hands. " Fenton, Laura, Gertrude, and Joe
had also recognized the girl in the picture. Chief McGinnis stood silently by, his
mystery girl had just been identified.
"I know this is someone who you all know. But I need a name so I can put an
A.B.P. out on her. This has lead me to believe she did this in cahoots with Ned. We need
to find them and put them away. I need a name." Chief McGinnis spoke sternly yet with
compassion.
Frank whirled on him and spoke with sheer hatred and coldness, "That bitch will
go down for what she has done. I will get her for this. You want a name; I'll give you a
name - Callie Marie Shaw."
The Drew Home - Carson's Bedroom
"Hannah - wait." Carson called and grabbed her wrist and whirled her around to face
him.
He was surprised to see tears running down her face. In that instant he knew it
was right. He knew then she felt for him what he felt for her. This was right. Right here!
Right now!
"Hannah - it has never been more right, right now. You love me as much as I . I . I
love you. I need you Hannah, like the air I breathe. Will you take me as I am?" Carson
asked as he slipped her robe of her shoulders.
"Oh, Carson, of course I will. I love you." Hannah replied as she pulled his head down for a kiss.
