Jonathan Creek – A long way home
Chapter 7:
Ring, ring, Ring, ring.
"Hello"
"Hiya,"
"Sally, Where the hell have you been? I've been worried sick, I haven't been able to get hold of you?"
You could hear the panic in his voice, she should have been back hours ago and when he didn't hear from her, he was worried something awful had happened to her.
"Hay, calm down, I'm fine I promise"
"Well where have you been?" David quickly interjected
"I'm in London Bridge Hospital, but don't worry it's not for me" She hastily said before he had any more chance to panic.
"It's for that women we met on the streets, Maddy, she was attacked and she collapsed and, oh she was in such a state, I had to help her, she is going to come home with us, she is all alone and has no family, Please try to understand"
Pleading to his good nature.
"Yes, yes alright" He said knowing he wouldn't hear the end of it if he didn't, but he was also happy to help and get to know this woman.
"She can come home?" Sally beamed for ear to ear.
"She can come home; you will have to fill me in later"
David said giving in, he had a heart of gold and knew if it meant so much to Sally, then it meant a lot to him is well. He didn't want to see anyone living in such a way.
"Ok Thank you, I will be staying here tonight with her and then I will be back tomorrow morning to help you get the place ready,
"Ok, okay,
"Thank you"
"No problem and Sally"
"Yeah"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
She said in response to his sweet sentiment, he was a wonderful very understanding man.
