Chapter 5

“Are you sure you don’t need me next week for some major unexpected case?” Marie silently pleaded for Bob to say yes; forcing her to stay.

 Mr. Hudson eyed her warily, “If you didn’t want next week off then why’d you ask for it Marie?”

“What? No, I was just double checking if you were going to be alright. If you need anything just remember to call me. I’ll be on the first plane up here.” Marie said sadly.

“Uh-huh. Now go; you were supposed to be gone at noon and it’s already three p.m. What time are you planning on leaving?”  Mr. Hudson walked her to the door and placed an awkward hand on her shoulder.

“Marie, if you don’t want to have next week off just stay. Why’re you going if you don’t want too? Is that boyfriend of yours forcing you to? Has he hurt you?!” Mr. Hudson could be a very mean, blunt, ruthless man but he did have a soft spot.

Bob always considered her like a daughter when he wasn’t mad; because when he was, he was mad at the world.

“No Mr. Hudson, nothing like that. It’s just a family reunion im trying to avoid.” Marie slumped her shoulders and walked out in defeat. “I’ll see you two weeks from now then. Bye.”

“Take care Marie.”  He noticed the whole office employees staring at him with bulging eyes and he quickly placed a scowl on his face.  “Because when you get back im going to work you to the bone.”

The office staff burst into action looking away and continuing on whatever they were doing vigorously.

Marie rolled her eyes and walked into the cool breeze. The air flapped around her hair making it into a tangled mess and Marie huffed.

Her plan on calling Noah and telling him that the case had been extended is ruined. Out of all the times Bob has chosen to take a fatherly figure in her life it had to be now. Why couldn’t he be his grouchy old self today?

Marie placed all of her luggage in the back of the Range Rover along with other stuff Noah had left behind. Noah didn’t want to carry all of it on the plane so he decided Marie should just take it.

 Trudging down the walkway to the front door she stood there for a few moments. Who knew what life was going to throw at her when she arrived in Colorado. She felt the little sliver peace remaining in her disappear.

 Only God knew what type of person she was going to return as. Whether it is good or bad she didn’t have an option anymore.

 Locking the front door she turned with slow, deliberate steps to the car. Turning on the ignition she pulled out and traveled down the same roads and highways she had taken to get up to Michigan.

 Now, traveling down those roads, she felt as if life itself; was also going to be going down.
