"Sharpest lady in Abbotsford!" "I guess I'd agree to that." "Maybe tonight you'll reward me?" "Maybe." He grins as she scoots Richard on his way. It's misting a light rain as they leave the house. Mike notes that the van is back. He takes Janet's hand on one side and Marlene takes her other. Marlene uses her other hand to hold the briefcase tight against her body under her coat. They walk around the block and into the hospital. Mike waves Marlene on and fades back into the shadows by the door. He watches the black van park out near the front of the lot.

Has been off work for over a month. Claims he is bedridden, suffering such pains as to make it impossible for him to work. Has not responded favorably to treatment and his claim is supported by his doctor. "This one may require patience, but it's fairly straight forward. Catch him on film doing something strenuous. You could handle this one on your own, if he doesn't catch you. Just about done?" "Just finished. Let's go. You want to drive?" "I'm surprised you'd let me." He takes the keys and catches her coffee at the till. They go out front and Mike tries to fit himself into the sub compact. He's surprised how much room he does have when he slides the seat back all the way. It starts to rain in earnest as they head west from Mission. Mike says, "I hope it's not going to keep this up.
