Jonathan Creek – A long way home.
Chapter 4:
The next morning Sally got up and got herself organized to go into London again. Christmas was coming quick and she wanted to get ready. "Right I'm off to town to get a bit more shopping, you can get tidied up and start some wrapping"
"Already, its only just November" David replied
"yes well we want to get organized don't we" Glancing at David as she came down the stairs
"Yes, we do dear," He said with a sarcastic grin on his face. Sally looked at him with a serious glance, shutting him up quickly. She was an amazing woman but he knew not to mess with her. She grabbed her bags before giving him one more serious glance before she jumped into the car and headed off to the big city.
A few hours later-
She had done lots of hours shopping and got a few bits ready for Christmas. She decided a coffee break was very much needed and maybe a nice slice of cake. She started heading towards the café when she heard a scream. She looked round to find where it had come from, she wasn't sure if it was a scream for help or someone just messing around.
"No, get off I need it," The woman said as she was trying to fight off a young man who was trying to steal her money. It started getting quite physical.
"Hay" Sally shouted as she headed towards the women, who was battling down a dark dingy alleyway. The lad shoved the women to the floor and took off with her money, barging past Sally as he ran away.
"Oi" She shouted back in anger but the guy was gone, off like a jackrabbit. Sally suddenly ran over to the woman to check if she was alright. She was still lying on the floor and barely moving. She could hear sobs coming from her.
"Hey, are you okay?" She rushed over to her side and tried to get her to sit up.
"I'm fine," She said shakily, blood was pouring from her head down her face.
She had a nasty gash to her forehead, she seemed to have landed on some glass.
"Here," She said helping her up, propping her against the wall. Sally caught a glance of her face as she sat up and realized that it was the woman she had met yesterday.
"Hey, I met you yesterday"
Maddie looked up towards her.
"Sally" A smile came to her, happy to see a friendly familiar face.
"I'll call the police" She stated as she launched her hand into her pocket rummaging for her phone.
"No please, don't worry, there's no point" She had had enough of police, they were never any help and had always caused her and her mom nothing but trouble her whole life. Anyway, she knew they wouldn't help her, some homeless person gets attacked on the street, it wasn't exactly high on their priority list.
"You've just been attacked and….
Maddie quickly dived in "They don't care"
"Oh, but they will….
Maddie bit back "Welcome to the real world, they don't care about people like us,"
There was an air of silence between them as Sally looked up, this poor woman needed help, she could see the hurt and pain in her eyes and she needed to do something about it.
