"Kyle
lt's a brand new day and l have appointment at the hypnotherapy office today. How weird l think. l never would have thought l would be involved in something like this.
l have been looking at Jenny's number since last night. l have been dying to call her. l put it back in my wallet and head for the door. l am convinced now more than ever l need to get some answers and clear my name.
l get to the office and it is not at all like l expected. l don't know why l thought it was gonna look like a shamans house but it looked like a medical office. Stiff chairs and magazines piled up on the tables. l go to check in and she sends me to the back right away. Frank must have some pull around here.
l am directed into a room with a big leather couch with various pictures of palm trees on the wall. l sit down and keep looking around. There are tissues on the table. A large candy bowl and business cards set up on s big cherry finished desk. The decor doesn't really match. Five minutes pass and in walks in the grandma from the tweety bird cartoons. l can't help but break out into a grin.
" Hello Kyle its so good to meet you. my name is Sandy Hedgehog." Says Sandy with her hand stretched out.
Just when l thought she couldnt get any cuter!
l jump up.
" Hello Sandy nice to meet you too." l say smiling down at her twinkling brown eyes.
"Would you like some water before we start?" she asks walking over to a small refrigerator hidden by a large cabinet.
"No thank you. Should l lay down. How does this work?" l ask curiously.
"Sure you can lay down. Some people find it relaxing. "
l lay down on the large couch. lts pretty comfy and long. Most couches my feet dangle off the end.
"Ok now l want you to close your eyes. Your going. to hear the sound of a ticking clock. 1...2...3 at first then 2 then just 1. Take yourself back to that night. Tell me what you see." she says smoothly.
" l see lots of people we are in the club but in a separate room. Catherine is there with me. She goes and talks to the bartender. The room is packed with people. important people. Catherine offers me ecstasy. l haven't rolled in a long time. l am miserable. lts my birthday and l am stuck here with this fake girl." l explain
"Do you hate Catherine?" asked Sandy.
"No just annoyed by her. She is clinging to me. l start to feel sick. l head for the door. Catherine is behind me. l sit down and try to dial my town car. Catherine says we should take a cab to her place. l am fuzzy here. "
" lts ok Kyle just relax. breath slowly in and out in and out." she says Sandy sofly.
" l see it!" l say surprised
"What do you see Kyle?"
"She is talking to someone. l start to feel dizzy. l lean over the curb and throw up. l am ducked down in the grass and l can hear them arguing. "
" You see this gun bitch. l am not playing You and your rich boyfriend get in the car without a scene or l shoot you both right here. "
"Can't you see he is sick. l will have to drag him in." said Catherine
"How do you think he got that way Catherine? l work in that club. l have access to everything. l know you called me to meet me to torture me!"
By this time l raised my head up and l can see him. He is tall. Red hair, pale and wearing black jeans and a green top.
"Good Kyle. What else do u see?"
"The inside of the taxi. l am in the back getting thrown around the back seat. The car is going fast. l start yelling. l am gonna puke! The car stops. l don't recognize the area. l get out and Catherine jumps on me tugging and yelling. l am just trying to relieve myself of the horrible pain in the pit of my stomach. l can barely see. l push her away to keep from getting sick on her. The cab driver walks up and starts to kick me. He pops open the trunk and pulls out a bat. l scramble up and get into the driver's side of the car. l look for Catherine. l don't see her anywhere. The guy comes after me with the bat but its too late. He left the keys in it with the car on and l am gone in it. l try to see if l can find Catherine but l can't see its blurry. My stomach still achey and l don't remember anything after that."
"Good Kyle now count back from ten with me. 10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1....." she says "Now open your eyes"
"Did it work? " l ask l feel so sleepy" l fell asleep right? l am sorry."
"No Kyle l believe we have everything we need to have you exonerated!"
"Really! Do l have to do this again in court?" l ask excited
"We have it all on video. l am going to call Frank right now and have this evidence sent over."
I left the office feeling like a ton of bricks had been lifted off of me. Now to call Jenny!
The phone rang twice before she answered l invited her out to my favorite spot in downtown. She said no but agreed to lunch in the Library park. l picked up coldcuts and fresh bread from the local Deli and a bottle of wine and bottled water. She had been on my mind all night up until my appointment and now she was dancing in my head again.
l pulled up to the park and looked for the tree we were supposed to meet at. l spotted her right away. She was leaning back on the tree trunk letting the air blow on her face with her eyes closed. Just like the day l first saw her.
