I do not own Monk
MR MONK MEETS THE REDEEMER
CH 33
Monk came to his room after setting the action plan with Carlos. There was some time before Carlos' next coordinates, and Monk was eager for a bath.
He came into the room and before he took one step further into the bathroom he realized something was strange. He looked around, and the silence was king. He kept looking, until he focused on the connecting door. It was not closed. That was the unbalanced harmony of the environment. He then walked toward the door and before pulling the knob, Monk heard a strange noise in Natalie's room. He searched for wipes in his pocket to open the door but there was no pocket available in the pants or the shirt he was wearing. How could Natalie had left him alone again and worse than that, without wipes close by?
"Natalie?" Monk called through the door. The noise continued but Natalie did not respond.
"Natalie, is that you? Are you dressed? I'm coming in. Please, be aware I'm entering your room. Be aware and be dressed!" Monk said loudly while covering his eyes with one hand and pushing the door with his elbow.
"Natalie?" Monk asked again, looking at the floor to avoid tripping and with a hand still over his eyes.
He felt the sea breeze entering the room in its plenitude; the terrace window was open and he expected Natalie to be there. If she was there, certainly she wasn't without clothes. That thought made Monk raise his head and look through his fingers that were shielding his eyes.
Natalie's bag was open on the bed, with a few clothes scattered on the floor, and the side table was turned upside down. There were some pieces of clothing on the floor near the balcony door also. Monk immediately ran to the balcony and could see Natalie being pulled by a man towards the bridge which linked the hotel to the concert stage. They were a bit far, already in the first step of the stair that led to the bridge. Monk got a glimpse of a gun being pulled against Natalie's ribs. He left the room immediately, carefully walking through the balcony corridor towards the bridge, following the two.
Thank you, Jayna!!
