Chapter Twelve

To say the next few moments were chaotic would be an understatement. Both Beth and Taylor were crying and hugging Tom, and Tom was still looking confused but hugging them right back. Megan and the others stood back giving the three a few moments of their own. Finally, Charlotte, in her most effective way, stepped forward and gently pulled Beth back.

"Beth, let's give him a moment. This is all happening very fast. Why don't the three of you move over to the sofa and sit? We will try and piece together what happened to Tom."

Beth nodded, appreciating Charlotte's common sense, and helping Taylor back to her feet, the two of them moved with Tom to the sofa. After everyone had settled themselves, Megan took a deep breath and asked the question that was on everybody's mind.

"Tom, how much do you remember of what's happened to you? Is your memory at all clear? Can you remember anything about how you came to be injured and abandoned?"

As Tom took a deep breath, he seemed to hesitate as he searched his brain for memories and then with a frustrated sigh realized the memories just weren't there yet.

Then, with determination, she nodded and looked to Taylor; she asked the younger women to fill in some of the details of her personal life since her father had disappeared, reminding her not to overwhelm Tom with too much information too fast.

Charlotte sat by Beth's side for support, while the other three took Barney and went outside to give them some privacy and discuss this newest turn of events. Once they were out of range of the others’ hearing, the conversation turned from one of deep-set family support to the more probing question – the conversation dealing with the disturbing fact that Tom had been attacked and left to die. With his memory not returning fully, they still had the puzzle of what had happened to the man and what his memories were hiding.

"Tom's reaction isn't at all unusual according to the research that Charlotte found regarding amnesia and head injuries. These memories could return piece by piece, slowly over a long period. We’re just going to have to be patient and help out wherever we can," Lucy explained.

"I guess I was expecting it to be like in the movies where the man gets hit on the noggin and all his memories return at once," laughed Megan
