HELP!!! One Tough Cookie (Part 12) Serious help required

57

By Maggie-May

The last entry discussed pertinent information to unlock the secrets hovering over the double murders of Anjoline Fickles’ parents.

The diner was unusually noisy, and Two-Bit Tim seemed flustered. His cheeks were red and he seemed to be hyped about something. All around him people were discussing the latest news in Fordferd Villa. Someone, that very morning, had walked in exclaiming there was an Occult in Fordferd, and that it is related to the Fickles’ murders.

“That cannot be true!” said a short bald man.

“That’s what you think! It makes perfect sense with all the reports of weird incidents around that mansion up there!” said a tall skinny handsome man hovering around the counter in front of Two-Bit Tim.

“There could be a whole lot of truth behind this news!” said an attractive brunette that was approximately 35 years old.

“Just what is being said? And, by whom?” asked Two-Bit Tim.

“My wife was at the hospital yesterday visiting her sister. She said she overheard Dr. Colin and Nurse Sunnie talking about the Fickles’ daughter Anjoline. They mentioned that whatever Anjoline was doing there involved a Cult. Can you believe it? In our own town too.”

“Now George! You know that’s ridiculous! Are you certain your wife heard right? You know how gossip starts, and you know I do not put up with it here in my place—I won’t have it!”

“Two-Bit Tim, you know my Martha, she would never lie, even if it were to save her soul!”

Everyone talked at the same time again, and this time it seemed like everyone sounded afraid—fear was in the air...

With just cause...

Dr. Colin found the specialist. As Dr. Colin explained the situation the specialist paced back and forth as if he were contemplating things, but looking at his eyes one could easily detect a certain degree of worry, this is very bad! This could ruin everything! I must alert the others, but in the meantime I must stall Dr.Colin.

“Dr. Colin, we must keep this information strictly confidential. It could mean the difference between life and death for the patient, do the authorities know? You didn’t alert them yet, have you?”

“No, no I didn’t. Nurse Sunnie and I thought it best to speak to you first.”

“So nurse Sunnie knows about this too? What about anyone else?” he turned and picked up a scalpel, then while his back still turned to Colin, he picked up a bottle of chloroform and gauze, “think now, is there anyone else that might know, this is very important?”

After cutting the chloroform protective plastic away with the scalpel, Doctor Will quickly poured the liquid onto the gauze.

“No, not another soul knows about the situation we have.”

Doctor Will turned quickly catching Dr. Colin by surprise.

A loud thud signalled that Dr. Colin’s body dropped to the floor.

In Anjoline’s hospital room, three staff members busily worked at resuscitating her lifeless body.

Doctor Will was last seen talking to nurse Sunnie.

To Be Continued.... If anyone would like to finish this story for me, I would love it...ANYONE???

Maggie-May, my dear, if you have come to a dead end let it lie. Believe me, it happens.

I wish I could darling. I just don't have time. And the occult is just not for me. I stay far away from that stuff. There are so many great writers here. I know someone will pick up the challenge for you.

Good morning (Hyphenbird) thanks so much, I completely understand, I too ventured into unchartered territory with this one, and I must say I bit off more than I bargained for...I don't have time at the moment to do the research it requires of me to be able to elaborate on the Occult affairs--the unholy business and all...thanks for stopping in...I should have listened long ago, in the beginning stages of this story to both you and mckbirdbks--it would have prevented this from occurring...Next time, I will indeed look more into the teachings and advice of my peers...Take care my fiend,

You knew what you wanted and that is okay. I have had stories overwhelm me too. I think we want so much but life just does not allow us to spend the enormous amount o time required to pull it off. If you need to put it on hold for a few months you can. After all it is your brainchild!

Whoops!!! Sorry (Ruby)..don't know how I did that, but I somehow skipped putting you first, my apologies! Thanks for your kindness--I've always been curious about Cults, but I'm afraid I also don't know much about it either and therefore I would have to do some research, another time--and really, thank you--happy thoughts,

MM ps, many hugs, and a joyful day!!

Dear Maggie,

Do not give up on that story nor let anyone finish it for you. Just take your time, do the research you need to, little by little... when you have some minutes to spare. Give your story the substance it needs, even if it takes months or years to get it. When you are satisfied with what you collected (you'll know when) go back to your "One Tough Cookie" and continue it.

You are an amazing story teller, but such complex a story needs time (even if you do not gather it all at once). I can promise you this: I'll be there to read it ^_^.

About this last part, I love the twist.

Love & Hugs

Claire
