Chapter 2

"Have a seat if you would like" Hannah motioned to Bruce as they walked in her office.

Bruce took a seat in one of the chairs that was in front of Hannah's desk. She sat down across from him and didn't say a word. She just looked at him, wondering why he was here.

"You don't look happy to see me?" He inquired. Hannah rolled her eyes and grabbed the pen she had set down and continued to file her paperwork from earlier.

"Bruce…" She stopped writing to look at him, "I'm just…I'm caught off guard. This week has just been a whirlwind of emotions for me."

She stopped writing and walked over to her window over looking the city. "This is just unexpected. Although it doesn't surprise me…you just coming back from the dead"

Bruce stood up from his chair and went to join her at the window.

"And why is that?"

She turned to look at him and smirked, "We always knew that you would die by Alfred poisoning you."

Bruce let out a hearty laugh and nodded, "I'm sure he has thought about it couple times…Hannah…I'm sorry to hear about your father. How are you and your mother holding up?"

Hannah sucked in a breath and put her hands into her pockets, "Moms…in shock. No one expected a man of perfect health to die of a heart attack. And me? Well…" She looked at him again, "You know me Bruce, and I'll survive."

If Bruce knew her as well as he thought he did, he knew she dove herself into her work to keep her mind off of her emotions. She had done it in school as well.

An awkward silence snuck into the room and Brice cleared his throat.

"Did I come at a bad time?" He asked looking around her office.

Hannah shook her head, "No, I cancelled my entire schedule for the day. I had to go down to the courthouse to survey a trial."

"Trial? I thought you were a psychologist?"

Hannah nodded, "I am, but some of my patients, well former now. Some of them were criminals…but…lets not talk about me. Gosh I feel so embarrassed. Can I get you a drink? Hard alcohol is my choice of poison."

"No, thanks for the offer but I'll decline" Bruce stated. Hannah leaned against the window and stared at him again. Making Bruce feel like he could not hide anything from her.

"So…tell me about your trip? Any chance I will get my book back since you have made a safe return?"

Bruce hesitated for a second before shaking his head, "I actually…It was lost… during my travels. I'm sorry."

Hannah held back her disappointment but just laughed, "It's alright…the book can be replaced…you on the other hand. That would be a bit more difficult."

"This is true"

"Ok, more important question…have you seen Rachel?"

Bruce opened his mouth to say something but nodded his head no, "Haven't worked up that courage yet…"

She rolled her eyes, "Still not doing things for yourself then? Oh well, guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks in your case."

"Oh that's funny"

Hannah smiled and shrugged.

"You should come by, he said last week at the funeral he didn't get to say hello. You would probably make his day."

"I'd like that…and we could catch up…"

Bruce wanted to spill out everything to her but knew it wasn't the time. Luckily for him, his attempt for an excuse was blocked by a phone call. Hannah groaned and walked over to her desk.

"Nancy, I said hold all my calls"

"I understand but its Dr. Crane and he says this is urgent."

Hannah let out a frustrated groan before shooting Bruce an apologetic look, "I'm sorry…I have to take this call."

Bruce stood up and waved his hand, "I should be going anyway, Alfred is probably wondering where I am."

Hannah left her desk and walked over to Bruce and gave him a tight hug.

"Let's hope you stay awhile huh?"

"I'll see what I can do"

Hannah smiled and went back to her desk before sitting down and picking up the phone.

"Put him through…Crane you better have a good reason for- No, absolutely not…"

Bruce left her office and wondered who this Dr. Crane was, but shook off his feelings and checked his watch. He had some scouting to do.

Review?

Thx.
