When he calmed down he said “God I’m sorry me and the wife are going through a rough patch”. He was 29 years old, married for 10 years, an arran...ed marriage and he wasn’t happy.I asked him in and gave him a drink and he was telling me about his boring life when he stopped and looked at me, we were both sat at the kitchen table, he moved his chair out and placed both hands on my thighs, I have to admit I was slightly turned on. As he looked me in the face he said “You are a handsome man” which I. I need some food in me. I skipped breakfast. Ithought I would go to 'Mitchell's' which was a nice restaurant in themall. I knew where it was so I parked my car near the closest entranceand started walking there.As I was walking in the mall towards Mitchell's I walked pass a jewelrystore I heard, "Miss, excuse me miss."I turned my head to see a man standing at the entrance of the store withanother man who was standing behind the counter."Excuse me miss, can you help me for a minute," the man. .”I held up a hand and gestured to a seat, “Junior to you and it is complicated.”He sat and I started reviewing the reports from last night and talking to him about what to look for as I slid them across the desk. After that we went through the requests and sent out three marshals including Amanda. I stood and grabbed my bag and grinned as I headed for the door, “The last we get together.”He laughed as he followed and called Georgia and went to grab his bag. I looked into the commander’s office. Just the thought of being cut open had her on the verge of passing out or throwing up. She couldn’t decide which so she just closed her eyes and withdrew from the world. Thoughts of Gabriel came to mind. She loved him. She knew he would never leave her. Even now, he held her hand and stroked her arm comfortingly. But she felt guilty. She worried him too much. She saw how disheveled he looked. She knew how scared he had been until she woke up. I can’t put him through that again, she thought to.
