Finding Luc Hemmingway

Chapter 2

The corridors seemed cleaner than Melody had remembered. Being here for nearly a solid week was starting to pay havoc with her mind. After not being able to get much out of her brother about this mysterious Doctor Hemmingway, Melody was on the verge of giving up.

'Here you go Mr Hanson, just as you asked for' Melody smiled passing Hanson the coffee 'Thank you, you may call me Henrick if you must, seeing as you will be here for awhile' Henrick said hiding a smile 'Thank you Henrick, everyone is so friendly here' Melody grinned 'Yes well, I suppose they are' Henrick said sipping his coffee Melody observed, Henrick wasn't the monster Eddi had made him out to be he was truthfully a nice guy 'Henrick…may I ask you something please?' Melody said looking around the room at the pictures of horses and country side 'yes, of course child' Henrick said listening 'who is Luc Hemmingway?' Melody mumbled crossing her one jean clad leg over the other, 'Ah, doctor Hemmingway, one of my greater doctors if I am truly honest, lived in a caravan in our car park, very quiet man had a few arguments with your sister in the beginning she even moved wards but, quickly moved back again, if you ask her she will properly tell you otherwise but I think it was for the excitement he gave her, you see before he came along she was just so moody, and I know I am not one to talk but,..' Henrick breathed raising his hands to tell the story in motion 'Oh yeah, I've seen that eddi before believe me' Melody said raising her eyebrows 'yes, well they grew closer and then the rumours started, but I never really believed them until…' Henrick stopped exhaling 'what Henrick…what was it?' Melody said nearly jumping out of her seat in 'he accepted the permanent job offer!' Henrick shouted 'NO...he never!' Melody said shocked. '…Henrick, what happened next?' Melody said engrossed in the conversation 'He just disappeared… and nurse McKee returned to the same moody thing she always was' Melody's heart dropped for her sister, had he just left her so suddenly? 'Henrick, where can I find him?' Melody asked her eyes wide 'Now that, my dear I am afraid is confidential I couldn't ever give you that, sorry' Henrick said frowning slightly 'oh, okay no worries'.

'Now I must go and 'do my rounds' as you younger generation say, you can stay here and do what you do and have not' Henrick smiled standing up gracefully and leaving the room.

Melody sat there she felt awful, poor Eddi, But that's when an idea flashed through her head the filing cabinet 'grounded? …Exclusion? …Criminal record,' Melody said pulling it open and looking inside 'It 'all be worth it, Luc Hemmingway Aha!' She dialled the phone number and saved her phone safely in her pocket and closing the cabinet locking it shut away from the world once again.

Grabbing her Aztec coloured backpack and launching it over her shoulder Melody marched down the stairs and to the head desk coughing once when she reached there 'Margaret, I am really sorry, I am not feeling too good, would it be okay if you let Mr Hansen know that I've got to leave' Melody asked and waited for the woman to reply 'Oh you poor dear, yes of course' Margaret smiled half-heartedly at the girl before her 'oh and please don't tell my sister, wouldn't want to worry her yano, she's been under a lot of stress recently' Melody said frowning.

Once outside melody flanked her backpack harshly down on the wooden bench

Before pulling her phone out and dialling the one number she knew would get her into a lot of trouble.

-Ring ring ring ring-

'Hello, Doctor Hemmingway?'

'Erm yes hello, speaking'

'Hello, my names Miss Parker I am ringing from Holby city, on behalf of Mr Henrick Hanson'

'Yes of course, how can I help you Miss Parker?'

'I am Mr Hanson's personal assistant and I believe that you borrowed a very important book of his and he urgently needs it back'

'Right yes, I know which book of which you speak off'

'do you think it could be possible for us to meet and for me to pick up the book, I wouldn't be going to as much trouble but Hanson desperately needs it back'

'Right yes of course I'm just a few towns over from Holby city infact, is tomorrow okay to pick it up?'

'Yes tomorrow would be fine, thank you'

'I will text this number the address of the café?'

'Yes of course thank you for your time Doctor Hemmingway'

'You're very well Miss Parker'
