“Give it to you? I will take you to that bastard right now……he is in my living room, at my house….acting like nothing ever happened….”

“How? …….How did you get by him? I mean, does he know you have come here?”

“No….I got the morning paper, and saw the article, I tucked it under my arm, and told him I was going out for some coffee….then I left….”

“Then, he has no idea that you came here?” I ask……

“No….None at all….”

“What’s your address?”

After Mr. Kennard gave her the address, she excused herself to go out of the room for a minute…….

“Detective Sparks, here’s your man………and he is at this address…get him in here for questioning please….” I stated firmly……..

“Damn…….ok…….right on it Miss Porter….”

I walk back into the room, “Mr. Kennard, I have something to tell you about your daughter’s injuries…..she has several broken ribs and unfortunately she has amnesia to go along with it. She has been beaten severely…….but she will overcome this…….”

“Amnesia?”

“Yes.”

“So, she won’t know me…..when I go to see her?”

“I am afraid not. Not at first, but if we can get as many people as we can to go to the hospital and see her….it may jog her memory a little………Can you do this for me?”

“Yes, Sure……”

“Great….meet me at the Medical Center in about an hour….”

“OK.”

***************************************************************************************

An hour passes by, and I am standing outside of this room, of the woman we didn’t have a name……now we do…….I feel a strong connection to her, and I want to help her as much as possible……I feel her pain, and I know exactly what she is going through…….as I turn to walk down the hall, Mr. Kennard has gotten off of the elevator with 3 other people. I walk towards them, and introduce myself……..

“Hi.” I started, “I am Miss Porter, a victim’s advocate. Actually, you all can call me Bette.”

“Hi Bette, I am Tom, Tina’s brother….” we shook hands……. “and this,” he pointed to his right , “Is Tori, who is Tina’s sister, and this……is Tina’s other sister……Terry.”

“All T’s eh?” I ask………

“Yes ma’am…..our parents are fond of the T names it seems…..” said Tom….

“OK. Has your father told all of you about Tina? About her amnesia?” I ask….

“Yes ma’am.” they all answer at the same time……….

“Ok…..that is why you all are here…..I am hoping that you coming will jog her memory of who she is……if she doesn’t come around this time, do not fret. Just give her some time….”

“Ok.” they all agreed in unison…

They all walk towards the room, and they all walk in together…… Tina’s eyes light up……….

TBC………I guess?? ………let me know……the more comments…….the more I will post……..ahem……ok……..bring it on…….yes or no??? It’s your choice…….
