Chapter 3: Seeing Something Different

Lilly's POV

Great, now I have seen my partner half naked. Fantastic, it's all I can think about. Every time I look over at him, I keep picturing him without his shirt on. And as my luck would have it he is better looking than I thought. Not that I have ever pictured him that way... really.

We arrive at the hospital and I have resolved to push the images of Scotty out of my mind by focusing on the case, focus on the case Rush I admonish myself. I say it over and over until it becomes like a mantra.

We approach the reception desk and flash our badges and explain to the young woman behind the counter that we are looking for our witness.

"Yes detectives, she is in room 3453. Take the elevator to level three and turn right and it's the down the end of the hall" I thank her and we head towards the elevator.

Scotty presses the button; I don't know why he always has to press the button. I mean every time we go out on an interview, wether were crossing at the crossway or going in an elevator he always has to press the button, even if I have already pressed it. It used to bug me at first but I eventually I just didn't bother, and waited for him to do it.

I lean back against to cool wall of the elevator and wait till we reach our floor, our witness is Gina Felton, I remind myself flipping open the file she's thirty-four years old and in 1985 she and her boyfriend were hitchhiking from Philly to New York .Not the wisest move but then we all did stupid things when we were eighteen, I remember Ray and I almost getting married in Nashville when I was eighteen. The doors open and Scotty and I walk silently to Gina's room, when we get there I take a deep breath and knock on the closed door.

"Come in" a small voice calls from inside and we enter

"Hi Gina, Were detectives Rush and Valens from Philly Homicide" I say "We wanted to ask you some questions about the night you and your boyfriend Tony were attacked"

She nods slowly "thank you for coming all this way, I just want to be able to help if I can, my mother read about you re-opening the case and when I started to get my memory back I wanted to see if I could help you catch the guy that did this to all those people" She said and I watch Scotty pull up a seat beside her bed.

"What can you remember about that night Gina?" He said taking out his notebook.

"I don't really remember much" she begins "I can remember, Tony and I leaving Philly at about Noon on that morning and we started to hitchhike up the highway. I can also remember flaging down this Green SUV and getting in. The next thing I remember is the driver shooting Tony and I jumped outta the car." She says "I know it's not much to go on" she looks towards me and give me an apologetic look.

"It's more than we had before" Scotty says and I nod in agreement "You don't happen to remember anything about this guy, any distinguishing features? Accents? Anything?"

"Maybe, I can vaguely recall that he was white and he had a tattoo of a dragon on his arm" Scotty wrote down what she was saying.

"Anythin else?" she was silent for a moment and she seemed to be thinking hard trying to remember something that may help us.

"I am sorry; I am really trying to remember something. Every day I remember a little more but it's all a blur at the moment"

"Well, we'll let you get some rest" Scotty said and he handed her a card "If you can remember anything, anytime call me okay. Detective Rush's number is one the back if you can't get a hold of me" He said and I really admired the compassion in his voice. He cared about the victims as much if not even more than me.

We leave the hospital and Scotty suggests we go and get some lunch and I agree with a nod, I am still not game enough to say anything in case I say something stupid or incoherent. Scotty manages to negotiate the streets of West Hollywood and find a diner that Thomas had apparently recommended and as we manage to find the only available car spot left we head into the diner.

We find a booth in the small and obviously very popular diner and within minutes a waitress is comming over with menus. I peruse the menu and I suddenly was hankering for a cheese burger with fries, I chuckle. So much for my new year's resolution to eat healthier.

Although with my job, I am lucky if I even get to eat anything more than those frozen dinners for one, that I religiously stock in my freezer due to my pretty much non-existent culinary skills.

"What are you gonna have?" Scotty asked

I decide I should at least try and communicate with him and I take a steadying breath "I think I'll have the Cheese burger" Phew at least I didn't say something stupid.
