Melanie, What Have You Gotten Yourself Into?
Three
Melanie woke up in one of those stiff waiting room chairs. The smell of the hospital filled her nose. Clean, too clean. She was waiting for Alec to come out of surgery. She could still see him falling, the blood on the floor, over and over again in her mind.
The police had been all over Alec’s house after that. They had asked her questions. They told her they found two more bodies in the house, the bodies of Mr and Mrs. Taylor. She kept looking at the clock.. 4:00 in the morning. She was so tired but couldn't leave Alec. She had to be here when he woke up.
A couple minutes later Melanie heard a tired sounding male voice come on the speaker.
“Will Melanie Greene please come to the front desk? Thank you”
She got up and nearly jogged to the desk. There were 2 nurses there and one of them stood up.
“Melanie ?”
“Yes?”
“Alec is out of surgery. he’s not doing well. But he’s asking for you.”
Melanie followed the nurse down the hall to Alec’s room, not knowing to expect.
