"Hi, Jen? It's me, Anya. Can you please send Natty over tothe office right away? It's important. Thanks. Bye."**********Austin and Natty sat on a... bench outside the park. It was still early,and patrons hadn't started arriving, so it was peacefully quiet. Behindthem, in the parking lot, a police car sat, but the officer was in theoffice talking to Anya and Grandmother rather than watching the runaway."No-one knows what it's like," Austin complained again.Natalya smiled at him. "You'd be. They gave me the information where he was, but nothing more. In a panic, I drove to the hospital at break-neck speed. When I got there, Chuck was being x-rayed. Jerry was there, along with a couple more of his surfing buddies, Casey and Don. They explained that Chuck got hit by another surfer and couldn't feel his legs."What happened?” I asked, in a panic.“He was snaked by a poser and wiped out bad. I think he was hit by a board on his back. I pulled him to shore and someone called 911. He took. ’ ‘We will see you in a couple of days then Sir.’ After the call was terminated, Andy and Angela looked at each other. Andy said, ‘Honey, did you read a little more in there than was said?’ ‘Yes, I felt he was anxious to talk to you about something. There is definitely something bothering him.’ Andy stood and walked to his desk and pressed the intercom button, ‘Jeff, did you hear all of that?’ ‘Yeah, Boss, what do you reckon that’s all about?’ ‘I don’t know? I do think it would be a good idea. " He laughed, "Oh, please don't do that." I put down the phone and threw on my silk dressing gown. I ran downstairs and, as I got to the front door, I took a deep breath and opened it. As he came through the door, he bent down to hug me. We both went to the kitchen, and put on a kettle for tea. I could feel him staring at me. It felt like he was undressing me with his eyes. It felt like he wanted to grab me and throw me down on the table and take me right then and there. With that thought.
