A Shadow Of A Man

Part Two ~ That Man Does Satan's Work

Zoya sat down in the waiting room, she hadn't been sat for long but already she was tapping her foot and twiddling her fingers, she had done her research on her new patient and knew that this conversation was unlikely to go well but if she wanted him to communicate with her she had to show some compassion and hopefully this was the first step towards that. "Mr and Mrs Campbell, it's nice to meet you" she outstretched her hand as she stood up then directed them to the empty office "I know you're probably both wondering why i've called you here today, it's just that there have been several letters sent to my patient from your grandson Ryan Woods" pushing the letters forward she leant back "I was wondering if you'd be willing to go with Ryan to see him, guards would be in place and he would be handcuffed"

Tyonna gripped the golden cross on her neck "Blessed is the one who takes refuge in the lord, that man does Satan's work, I won't allow him to go near my grandson and taint him" she began to stand up only to feel her husband's hand rest on hers

"I understand your concern, trust me I do, but so much of your belief is based on forgiveness and if Ryan is the way forward, if Ryan can provide Aditya with the love he deserves he may begin to see things differently, I feel it would be an injustice to take away one of the only good things from his life, doesn't your God teach you to forgive, to love eternally, please I wouldn't be asking if I didn't think it would work" her eyes lit with unshed tears "Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance at life, God would not refuse him, so why do you"?

"He killed my daughter, my son in law and you speak of forgiveness, i'll pray for your soul child but I cannot in goodwill risk my grandson's life, his heart or his soul" shaking her head she pushed her chair in and stepped toward the door

"Why would he deny it, in his records it stated he denied killing Rachel, he didn't speak of her husband, just one meeting, meet the man who saved your daughter's life" Zoya pulled out a folder "In Rachel's own words she called Aditya a saviour, just one chance please, you can leave if you don't like it"

Akoni nodded "One meeting, we will bring him by later, I want the meeting recorded and atleast two guards" he turned to his wife "Let us give him a chance, for our Rachel"

She nodded "One chance, curse his soul if he hurts my boy" slamming the door behind her she walked away fast

Zoya threw her head back "Rebecca, come here" waving her hand she bowed her head "I have an issue, you know my patient well he had a wife, Zoya, now i'm worried that he may become distracted by my name and not allow me to help him, and if he did kill his wife, aren't I in danger"?

Rebecca laughed "Megan would one hundred percent tell you he didn't kill his wife, I told you she's practically obsessed with him right, I don't know, you have something over him girl, use it, maybe it will help" she smiled widely "Think about it like this, the universe is rarely so lazy, every coincidence happens for a reason and maybe this is how you help him, I mean Aemelius is my patient and he is a child killer, gives me the heebie jeebies but he does know some good songs, so i'm using that to get through to him, use what you have"

"Hm, yeah, you're right, i'm just a bit scared" clearing her throat "Thanks, Luce, sorry" she shook her head fast

"That's not even the first time you've called me Lucy, I so want to know who this Lucy is that gives me a run for my money"

"I told you, I don't know a Lucy, I don't really know how it happens" clenching her fist she smirked "It honestly is a mistake, no one could ever replace the great Rebecca" she rolled her eyes

"Yeah true that" she nodded fast "Right now go, I have work to do and so do you, oh and have you met the male Dr Rowlan, he seems proper scary, haven't spoke to him yet though" she shuddered dramatically
