    ... he's an alcoholic. He thinks he just had a drinking problem and AA can help him take care of it. Please keep my number handy. I'll try to visit when I can. Trudy asks, "When did they move you up here?" "About a week ago. They brought an inmate from the prison in for appendicitis and had to use the secure ward. Roger keeps hanging around, I think because Mike asked him to but there is really no need any longer. Your worrying about nothing, Mike." "Let me be the judge of that. Better safe than sorry." "I don't mind. Roger's good company." Trudy and Marie start talking about what she will do when she gets home. Mike stands back and lets them gab. He studies the layout and location of doors, etc. around the ward as they talk. He would hate to have to protect someone in this environment, he thinks. Later, as they leave, it is after three and they go for coffee in Surrey. Trudy says, "It was quite a shock to see her hair. The last time she was all swathed with bandages and I never noticed. Can she eat, now?" "Very carefully some soft foods. Not too much chewing." "I noticed she was turning her head a lot. She's lost the hearing on that side, hasn't she?" "Yes. I'm afraid so.

Mike pulls into the CPX yard and parks by the terminal. It's not too busy since it's Saturday. Mike runs upstairs to dispatch and checks for bills. His names not on the board for a run Monday and he can't find any bills assigned to his truck number, yet. It looks like he might have Monday off. He comes back down the stairs and stops at the front door. He walks back towards the washrooms and stops by Ray's locker. He opens it and stands looking into it. He rubs his chin and steps back to look over all the lockers. Then he closes Ray's again and drops the bent nail into the hasp. He leaves the washroom and goes into the lunchroom, gets a Coke out of the machine and goes back to the car. "Want a slurp?" He pulls the tab on the can and it hisses. "Sure." She takes a long drink and burps. "Oops!" "Not very ladylike, are you?" "Would you like me if I was?" He takes a drink from the can, "Hmmm, You got a point there." He laughs with her and hands the can back. He starts the car and he heads down to Diamond Blvd. In a few minutes he pulls up to Ray's place. Trudy looks at him and gets out with him. They walk to the front door. There's no buzzer so Mike ...
