Drabble for Mr. Monk Goes Back to School.


Adrian took in the smell of the tree.

Trudy popped out of it. "Adrian! So you finally decided to visit my old school?"

"Yeah. There was a murder here, and- well, you know."

Trudy smiled. "I know." She then laughed and climbed up the tree. "Come on!"

"You- you know I can't," Adrian reminded her, looking longingly up into the tree.

"Sure you can!" Trudy encouraged him. "I'll be right here."

"I know you will, it's just-" Adrian frowned at the tree. "I might fall."

"You won't fall."

"I- I have to go," Adrian looked up at her pleadingly. "You'll be with me tonight?"

"Of course I will."
