Not a word was spoken since Mary had told Marshall to touch him. They both walked into the office without a peep. Luckily Delia had just arrived after them so no questions were asked. Both Mary and Marshall were angry at themselves. Marshall had said the thing he most regretted saying 'he had chose Abigail over Mary'. These words played in Marshall's head over and over again. What a fool. What a idiot.
Mary was on the opposite side of the office. 'I chose her over you'. How could he say that, seven years he had spent with her. After everything she had done for him. Especially that reservation on a Friday for their 'dating anniversary'. How could he be so fucking sensitive. She was angry. They had had a lovely morning, she didn't have to keep Marshall there for him to see Norah's first steps. Agh. She was mad.
Delia knocked at Marshall's door, he had hoped it wasn't Mary. He could not bare to face her. Not yet. "Hey Chief, a word?", Delia was a shally as ever and hadn't noticed Marshall's mood, "of course Inspector, please, please come in, close the door." "What seems to be the problem Delia.", Marshall was now in full Chief mode, personal problems aside, "is everything okay?", he was curious, Delia wasn't one for questions. "There isn't a problem Sir, I just want to know more about Mary, some advice really.", Delia was eager to know more about Mary and it seemed like Marshall had been the best person to ask. "What can I say Delia, what you see is what you get with Mary. You'll often find truths about her witness when she is being sarcastic about them. You know she's been through rough time recently. I'll leave that at that. Mary takes everyday as it comes. Don't ask her how she every time you're chatting, she hates that, always order extra at dinner time," he laughed at this, she would always eat his sandwiches, "Mary sometimes needs to be reminded that she is human too, and she can feel emotional about things, just be yourself around her Delia. You're both going to learn a lot of things from each other.". Marshall had finished with his little Mary's advice when someone had just came running into the room, "sorry to interrupt Chief but it's Mary", the runner was out of breath, "she was on a visit and the witness has stabbed her in the chest! Details are up on your GPS, hurry Chief, she hasn't got long." Marshall was soon out the door. He felt his stomach turn. He was running, it seemed like forever, he was running until eventually go to his car and he arrived at the scene.

He found Bobby D first. "Marshall! It's Mary she's in bad shape. She stopped by whilst the store was being robbed and the robber went straight for Colin, I think his name was, she ran into Colin and the knife went straight into her chest." "Where is she Bobby!" Marshall needed to see Mary again. It was like when she shot all over again. "She's just been took to hospital Marshall, and I'm fine thanks for asking.", this time it was Abigail talking to him, "thanks Detective", that was all he could manage to say to her. He hadn't even looked at her.

Mary was woken by the sounds of the monitors she was surrounded by in the hospital. 'Ah shit', she thought. She felt fine in herself, just her chest was hurting a lot. She looked at the table and found her blackberry which was making a noise, she answered it and it was Stan. "Mary! Mary! Can you hear me! Mary! Can you hear me! Is this Mary!", how pleased she was to hear his voice, "gee Stan how new travels fast." Mary had a hard time saying this as it felt like her chest was straining with each word she had said. "Mary you're with us, thank god, how are you?", the relief that came from Stan was huge. "Feeling a little, you know, um, punctured?", Mary tried to make a joke of this, no such luck. "Inspector you've been hurt. Please, I'm not coming this close to losing you again. Not after last time.", she heard Stan choke up, "Jeez Stan I'm not dying. Yet.", Mary didn't need the emotional speech yet. She didn't need anything. Yet. "Mary I have to go but I'll call Marshall as soon as I can." And just like that Stan was gone. Mary was tired and if honest she could not be bothered.
Well here goes. Our first drama. Is Marshall going to lose both woman in his life within the same day? What's going on with Marshall, why is he being like this? Why isn't Abigail,understanding his choices? Is she being a little harsh on him?
