Chapter 4
Hutch sat shivering in the tatty arm chair, with an old grey towel draped loosely around his shoulders. The shock of being awakened by a pan of ice cold water hadn't been anything to the shock of finding Huggy Bear staring down at him wide eyed and disapproving. All he needed now to be truly humiliated was for Starsky to turn up.
"I don't know what you been doing to yourself man, but by any standards it ain't good" Huggy proffered another glare and then continued, "I know you been through some tough times and that…but this ain't the answer any more. You're better than this man. You have people who care bout you, you just need to get your shit together and work it on out!" Huggy looked over at Hutch expecting some kind of response, he seemed to coherent enough "Darn it man! Are you even listening to me?" He said crossly.
"Believe me I'm trying not to!" Hutch finally replied. Huggy was hard to comprehend at the best of times but his head was swimming, and he was having trouble focusing his eyes.
"He speaks! I was beginning to wonder?" Huggy replied derisively
"What did you do with my bourbon?. Hutch grumbled scanning the bed clothes for his wake up fix.
"Down the sink, although I don't know why I bothered. You're not staying here any longer" Huggy found a sports bag and started to fill it with the few of Hutch's belongings he could find.
"What's it to you where I stay? This is my life now butt out of it!" Hutch snapped whilst attempting to stand, his legs felt like jelly.
"So wasting all daddies' money on booze ain't against your principles any more huh?" Huggy emptied the few clothes he found in the closet into the bag, a few home truths wouldn't hurt now he decided.
"It's none of your darn business what I do with my money!" Hutch replied angrily, having managed to finally get across the room.
"So you are living off the Hutchinson fortune..cos you ain't working that's for sure!"
Huggy shook his head; he had seen Hutch slide before but never this low.
"I told you its none of your damn business what I do. How did you find me anyway?" Hutch grabbed for the bag, but Huggy whisked it away.
"Lets just say when circumstance made it impossible for Starsky to keep looking for you any more, I kinda took up the cause!"
Impossible for Starsky to look for him anymore the words echoed through his brain. What circumstances? Why was Starsky looking for him in the first place? He didn't understand. He had betrayed Starsky why would he be looking for him? Was Starsky ok? Had something happened to him? His head started to spin as, his vision began to tunnel, a sick muddled feeling started to invade his stomach. He reached for the back of a nearby chair to steady his weakening knees and then his world went black..
