The cab ride to the station seemed endless. ‘What I want?’ she thought to herself. She barely understood the question. Or at least her mind didn’t. Her insides twisted viciously every time her mind wondered into what would happen in the next hour or so. She longed to fast forward time and just get back home to Karen and Luka.
Rain appeared as if on cue, the dark clouds pouring down their contents, it battered the roof of the cab and the road all around. Abby watched transfixed, grateful for the distraction. The cab slowly grinded to a halt outside the station. Everything else seemed to go in slow motion, like it wasn’t really happening. She heard everything around her, and saw it too, yet it still wouldn’t quite sink in. She paid the taxi driver and stepped out of the cab into the rain. It had gotten much heavier. Pelting in fact. It felt more like pounding all along her skin. She stood for a moment, letting the rain soak her, stopping her from, thinking anything.
She slowly began to walk towards the entrance. Suddenly it wasn’t just her wet clothes that felt heavy, but her limbs seemed to weigh a thousand times more than they normally would, and so made even simple tasks such as walking, a long, tedious and tiring task (lol for the alliteration!) It was worse than the hospital inside. Not because of the noise level or rushing around. That was probably worse in the hospital, people were always screaming in pain. Babies crying, people shouting, doctors, nurses and all members of the health care profession running amok. This was different, scarier, perhaps it was just the impending thought of seeing her ex husband, but every corner, every room looked sinister and dark, every sound seemed to have an ominous echo. A shiver ran up her spine. Whether it was from the cold or being in such a depressing environment she couldn’t quite tell.
She slowly approached a desk and took a deep breath catching the attention of a slightly overweight middle aged cop with patchy hair. He gave her an odd glance, noting her soaked figure, trembling now slightly. He glanced back down at a form he was filling out.
“Need any help darlin’?” he asked. She knew he meant well. But she still resented the term and it made her lip twitch slightly. If she’d been in a different mind she may well have said something. She swallowed hard, willing her voice to come out strong, and not hoarse, her throat was completely dry.
“My name is Abigail Lockhart. I got a call a day or two ago. You wanted me to come in and identify my ex husband?” She surprised herself by how controlled her voice came out.
A look of realisation appeared in “Officer Fisher’s” countenance as he sat upright in his chair and uncrossed his arms. His tone grew lower and much more formal.
“I apologise Miss Lockhart, we didn’t know when you were coming in, you’re urm. We called you back and your um, partner answered, he told us it may be a few days before you were ready to come in, we’re lucky we could hold him that long…” he realised he was babbling.
“Anyway, we grateful for you coming in… I realise how… Uncomfortable this must be… For you.” Abby wanted to laugh for a moment at the awkwardness of the police officer before her. She snapped out of it when he called a woman police officer over. She had short blonde hair tied neatly in a pony tail, she was about Abby’s age perhaps a couple of years younger.
“Officer Timmons.” He addressed her.
“I would like to you to accompany Miss Lockhart to meet Dan. She’s here to identify Richard Lockhart.” He hesitated, glancing at Abby. “You know they case… She can go there anytime she feels ready…” he blushed a little, aware he had probably just insulted Abby by talking about her whilst she was stood right there. He mumbled some incoherent goodbye and good luck and shuffled away uncomfortably.
Officer Timmons, or Sarah rolled her eyes and flashed Abby a quick grin.
“He’s a little socially inept, but get to know him and he’s lovely, a great cop too…” Abby smiled back.
“It’s alright. I know someone similar at work…” her mind wondered to Frank, and then thought what an odd thing to be thinking at this point.
She followed Officer Timmons down a long corridor. It seemed to go on forever, she felt their nerves racking through her body like waves, her stomach churning. The smile had vanished from the lips, she began playing with her fingers, chewing her lip, trying to distract herself. Sarah glanced back at her and gave her an encouraging smile.
“I know this isn’t much help to you, and I have no idea what you’re going through or how it feels, but for what it’s worth, I think you’re extremely brave.” Abby nodded, she thought if she spoke she might actually throw up. She was shaking a little now, even though the station had given her a large coat to go over hers sopping clothes. She caught sight of herself in the glass of a window. She was ghostly white.
“Ok…” Sarah said gently. “Dan is going to take you to Richard’s cell, and I am too. He is going to ask you some questions first, which you can take as long as you want on. It’s up to you how close you get to Richard; this is all under your control ok?” Abby nodded. She’d made up her mind. She needed to look him straight in the eyes. She took a deep breath and stepped in a secluded private little room with Sarah Timmons.
Meanwhile, Luka had taken Karen out for the day. He’d taken her for a picnic, or that had been his initial plan, until it had started pouring with rain. So they ate in the car. Well, Karen had insisted Luka pulled the two backseats down so they could sit in the boot, and they did, facing the outside window and watching the rain, with the radio turned on, Luka barely fit, having to keep his head hunched down and him legs crossed, it was a funny sight, one which amused Karen no end. She pointed giggling at him, whilst eating a cheese sandwich.
“You look funny!” she squealed. Luka grinned.
“I’d fit if you let me sit in the front?” Luka said hopefully, but the infant gave him a cheeky grin and shook her head from side to side, God that kid looked like Abby. Her eyes were different. A loop of brown surrounding them, instantly leading to light brown, to hazel, to bright green in the middle. She was going to have a major boy issues when she was older. What was he talking about issues? She would have them all wrapped round her little finger, she already had him. After finishing their lunch they watched the rain fall outside as Luka obliged Karen in playing with her toys the rain ceased to stop still. The radio started buzzing, and finally went silent. There was a long pause and Luka glanced at Karen, casting his eyes to the roof then grinning at her.
“We can just listen to the rain instead.” Karen crawled into Luka’s lap, and cuddled into him. His heart melted and he pressed a little kiss on the top of her head.
“Why aren’t you daddy?” Karen asked him, those amazing eyes questioning him. He struggled to find the answer.
“Sometimes… Things have funny ways of working, things that don’t make sense, because they are hard to understand. One day maybe you’ll see. But for now, you call me anything you want ok?” Karen’s little face just looked completely confused.
“Mommy didn’t like me to call you Daddy.” She contemplated. Luka smiled.
“Mommy had a bad day that day, and was a bit surprised, because you’re real daddy has to stay away for a while.” Karen stayed quiet for a long time.
“He’s not like Simba’s daddy in the lion king?” she asked after a long pause, her eyes filled with tears, it was amazing how children were filled with such compassion for people they didn’t know.
“No sweetie. He did some bad things. So he has to stay away for a while.” Karen was subdued into thought once more.
“Did he draw on the walls?” Karen asked looking shocked, Luka couldn’t help but laugh. Abby had always told Karen if she touched the white walls with those colours of hers she’d send her far away to live with the real lions.
“Something like that sweetie…” Karen clung onto him tight and began sucking her thumb.
“I want you to be daddy.” She said quietly. Luka’s heart swelled, he couldn’t help it, he hadn’t been a father for so long, everything about Karen made Luka remember the good times with his kids. He stroked her head and pulled her up into his arms for a great big bear hug. Karen giggled away madly.
“Daddy it is then.” Luka said with a grin. Karen laughed and kissed his nose softly. Suddenly the radio switched back on. There were a few oldies being played. Luka heared the music of this particular song start, and just couldn’t resist.
“Do you want to do something a bit crazy?” Luka asked Karen, his eyes glowing, Karen’s sparkled back, she nodded and grinned, putting her finger to her lips as if it were a big secret. Luka turned up the music and jumped out of the car, in the pouring rain. The music flowed out of the car and Luka started dancing lifting Karen in his arms and flying her like an aeroplane, he hadn’t heard her laugh so much for a long time, as they got dripping wet, dancing in the rain.
