Tony takes a walk
WHO: Dr. Tony Hill, Ethan Thomas, and OPEN
WHAT: Tony takes a walk around the city and finds himself settling in for a bit at a bar
WHEN: Tonight
WHERE: Random bar
RATING: TBD
Tony was in a mood. Some might call it a 'funk.' He just called it 'aggravating.' He supposed that the correct word for it would be 'melancholy.' Regardless of the name he was feeling particularly 'off' this evening.
The good doctor was not one to be overly emotional- quite the opposite was true. He was a quiet, reserved man. He was generally a cheerful person albeit a little peculiar. However, he had been through a lot in the past few months.
Tony had survived a brain tumor and the surgery that had to be performed to remove said tumor. He had put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger while playing a game of chance with a serial killer. He had been prepared to end it all because of his fear of dying in surgery or coming out of surgery alive but brain damaged. The only reason he finally had surgery was because at the scene of the killer's last stand he suffered an aneurysm at the site of the tumor and emergency surgery had been required.
Carol had been there when he had woken up post-surgery. She had been the one to stay with him through all of it- even when he was refusing medical help and was quickly slipping away. She had stayed by his side.
But... once he had recovered she had left. All he knew was that she was somewhere in South Africa. She never told him- just left. He never had the chance to say 'goodbye'... and maybe something more.
He took a rather large gulp of his Scotch and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Tony knew Carol had been replaced by a new detective inspector. He didn't really care, though. She had refused his help over and over.
He was of no use to anyone any more so when he had been offered the new career and life he took it.
