Close call
I appeared just outside the pub and walked in. Sam and Gene were sitting at the bar.
They were drinkning, conversing and watching the little telly that had been introduced
into the pub a couple of days before. I saw that there was some horse race on. Gene
said, not noticing that I was there, that Horse races were brutal for the horses and he'd
rather play a real man's sport of just sitting around on a horse any day. Sam and I got
to talking, and he wnated to know how i left the building so fast after we discovered that
dangerous group the other day. I told him that after all that went down, I thought it'd be
best if I cleared out to let the law take over. I thought for a few moments, to compose
my question.
"What's the low down on this guy, this Frank Morgan?"
Sam had been at his drink. He nearly choked on it after I asked the question. "How did
you know about him?"
I just shurgged, 'Well you know how these things go." I looked up at Sam. He had a stern
look as he wiated for my answer. "I just heard it out there, acouple days ago." Of course I
knew who Frank Morgan was, I just wanted to learn what he'd been up to since Sam rejoined
1973.
Sam warned me that this Frank Morgan was very bad business and that he had become
obsessed over Gene Hunt in the past, willingly going through Sam to get to him! He was
very delusional and willing to make elaborate mock ups to make the victim desperate
enough to work towards his goals, which was runing Gene Hunt's life completely. Some
people found out how mad Frank became and he lost his jobs completely. He told me
that I was not to go looking for Frank Morgan for kicks, that he was dangerous. I nodded,
taking all of this in and left the area of the pub. I wandered around, seeing Chris sitting
alone with who I assumed today to be a date. I was being called just then, so I rushed
out of the pub Sam yelled my name in concern and ran to meet me. I cut around the
corner and ended the travel before Sam met up with me.
Alex slammed the book down, seriosuly getting wigged out now. Her first reaction was to get rid of the book, take it back to Gene, flush it down the loo, anything! Alex remebered a mention about Frank Morgan in Sam's old reports, about very dangerous games Frank played with them, even after he tried selling Sam that Williams-Not-Tyler line!
"God, how did you know about Frank?" Alex whispered, as if the mystery girl was sitting with her.
Alex would have to get ahold of old records later to see what Frank did back then after the train incident. She stopped dead in her thoughts, but didn't Sam''s evaluation also say that Frank Morgan was his surgeon. A cold spot formed in her stomache, this was definately getting scary as heck!
