FULL CIRCLE
Chapter 16
After leaving the hospital Eva decided to pay a visit to an old friend. She had questions without answers and was hoping he'd help her find those answers.
As she drove, she turned on the radio but wasn't really paying any attention as it had gotten tuned to a country music station. It wassomething that she usually didn't listen to because she found most of
the music depressing. But a line from a song caught her attention "In the midst of the music I tell her I love her and we both laugh because we know it isn't true." It seemed to sum up how she and BJ felt about each other.
Soon she arrived at the building of the San Francisco star/Times and made her way to the office of BJ Eddington, top investigative reporter. "Hello, BJ," she said, knocking on the door frame.
"Well, if it isn't Eva Rossi as I live and breathe," he said with mock dramatics.
Eva laughed in spite of herself. "BJ."
"And what may I ask brings you through my humble door?" he invited her in, quickly clearing folders off the single chair. "I somehow doubt that it's just about to talk over old times."
"I need information, BJ. Specifically about the Bay View Nursing Home. Their website won't say anything prior to three years ago. But I get the idea that the place has been around a lot longer than
that," Eva said.
"Bay View, hmm?" BJ said. He ran his hands through his shaggy hair. "Something tells me that this isn't just idle curiosity."
"No, it isn't, BJ. I'm wanting to do a little checking around as a favor for an um, friend," Eva said smoothly. But she was thinking "Heaven help her if Miles ever found out what she was up
to." She had the distinct feeling that her wouldn't appreciate her investigative work.
"So, what do you want me to find out?" BJ asked.
"All its dirty little secrets. And we both know you're so good at doing that," Eva replied.
"All right. I'll see what I can pull up on the computer. And what I can't we'll have to look through the basement archives," he told her.
Eva took off her sweater and draped it over the back of the chair. Rubbing her hands together, she said, "Well, then let's get started."
