Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 22

... over to MSA? Is Shelly upset about staying there overnight?" "She doesn't seem to be. Can you bring her pajamas and her favorite doll? You know, the one you got her in Calgary, the teddy bear doll." Mike gets Shelly's things and loads the kids in the car. He drives around the block to MSA Hospital. He could have walked faster, by the time he finds a parking place. He locks the car and asks Richard to look after his sister while he's inside. In about ten minutes Marlene and Mike return to the car. Mike says, "She's really acting grown up. No tears, no fuss, no problem whatsoever. What did the doctor mean when he said check with him before we come over in the morning? You seemed to know what he was talking about." "He says these bumps can prove to be more of a problem than they at first appear. Unless there is a drastic reduction in the swelling, he may want to keep her in another day. That's all he told me." "When I talked to him he sounded quite confident that she would be alright by morning. When did he tell you that?" "When he examined her." "Damn! I wish I'd asked him a lot more questions.

Marlene comes in and tells him, "She's a little apprehensive now. She's really looking forward to you coming over to tuck her in. You better go right over." "I'm on my way. How's her bump look? Is it bothering her?" "She didn't even mention it." "See you later." Mike walks past Jeff's and around the block to the hospital. He checks with the desk about visiting hours. The nurse tells him not to worry about the hours. They encourage parents to be with their children as much as possible. Mike goes to her room. It's a four bed ward room and two other beds are occupied by little girls. One's asleep and the other looks up expectantly when he comes in. He spots Shelly as she raises her hand to catch his attention. He grins and says; "I hear you broke the swings with your head. Hard heads must run in this family." He raps on the side of his head with his knuckles as he approaches her. "Ow! Mine's not as hard as I thought!" She grins at him. Mike sits in a chair by the bed and takes her hand.
