Martin the Last Necron

Chapter 35 (Jenny Hudson)

Martin stood silent, staring at the person on the other side of the door. She was a beautiful, attractive young woman with red hair and green eyes. She reminded him of someone, but he couldn't figure out who.

"Yes, can I help you?" He managed to squeak out.

"Hello Martin, it's been a long time. Almost nine years I believe. How have you been?" 

Trying to figure out if he recognized her, Martin gave the woman a strange look. "I'm, I'm good." 

He wasn't sure, but he asked anyways. "Jenny? Jenny Hudson? Is that you?"

The woman smiled. "Good, I was hoping you would remember. I didn't want to have to try and explain who I am."

"Wow, yeah, it has been about nine years hasn't it? What have you been up to these days? I actually thought I would never see you again. What brings you here?"

"I stopped by to see how you were doing. I heard about your grandpa and I am so so sorry. If there is anything you need or I can do just let me know."

"Thank you, but I think I am okay. I will let you know if I need anything. By the way, how long are you going to be in town?"

"Oh, I live here now. I had gotten a job offer and moved back about six months ago. I was meaning to come by sooner, but could never mustard up the courage. After hearing about your grandpa, I had to stop by. You know I always liked him and It was devastating when I had to move. Anyways, I will be around, so don't be a stranger."

"Okay, sounds good. Wait, what do you mean you couldn't mustard up the courage?"

"Oh, nothing. Here's my card. You should call me sometime." She said as she started walking away. "See ya round Martin."

Martin waved and watched as Jenny Hudson walked out of his life once again. This time it was a lot easier to watch her go since he didn't have a crush on her anymore. Once she was gone, he shut the door and went back to check on his friends. Adal and Azura were sitting patiently at the kitchen table.

"Who was she?" Asked Azura.

"Just someone I used to know when I was young." Martin replied.

"What's that in your hand?" Asked Adal.

"It is just a piece of parchment with information on how to contact her if needed." Martin said as he looked the card over. "In case I need to..."

Just then Martin noticed what the card had said.

Jenny Hudson Registered Nurse.

"Just in case you need to, what?" Asked Adal.

"She's a nurse. In other words she is a priest." Martin said turning to his friends. "I need to get her back here. She might be able to help us."

He quickly ran over to the phone sat down and started dialing the number on the card. 

"Come on, pick up. Come on come on." He said as he listened to it ring. 

After about five more rings a voice came on the line. "Hello, Jenny Hudson."

Martin stood up and cuffed the phone so he could hear her clearer. "Jenny. It's Martin. Can you hear me?"

"Oh, hello Martin. I wasn't expecting to hear from you so soon."

"I know, I know. I wasn't meaning to call you back this fast, but I need your help. Can you possibly come back to my house right away?"

"It sounds urgent. I guess I can come back for a few if you need me to. Be right over."

"Thank you Jenny. I really appreciate it. See you in a bit."
