CHAPTER FIFTEEN
âYou got the list, right?â Lucky stopped the car at a red light.
âSure do. And brought plenty of bags to carry the groceries in.â Trust Bo to bring recyclable bags.
The light turned green and Lucky hit the gas. Bang! He barely noticed the carâs backfire. âOh, add oranges to the list. Those big kind without seeds.â
Bo didnât reply. âBo?â Lucky glanced over.
A quivering mass of man sat rocking on the seat. âNo, no, no!â
Oh, God. âBo? Bo!â Lucky pulled over onto the shoulder of the road. âBo? Are you okay?â
Bo sat frozen, chanting, âNo, no, no!â Lucky tried and failed to pull Boâs arms away from his face.
He squalled tires in a U-turn.
The moment he stopped, Bo ran into the house, Lucky hot on his heels. âFuck it all to hell!â Bo slammed the door open so hard a picture fell.
Moose whimpered and cowered behind the couch. Bo stopped in his tracks. âWell, damn.â
***
âI need to see Dr. Drake. Itâs an emergency.â It wasnât Luckyâs normal therapy day, but with Bo in meetings with Walter this morning, heâd take the opportunity.
âWeâve had a cancellation. Can you be here at ten?â
Lucky checked the clock on his laptop. âYeah, Iâll be there.â
***
Dr. Drake sat in her usual spot, her normal, unflappable self.
âI donât get it, doc. Heâs not the same man he used to be.â Before Mexico didnât need saying. Lucky paced through the office, dragging a hand through his hair.
âHow so?â The doctor regarded him with all-seeing, but unjudging eyes, making spilling his guts a done deal.
âHe gets pissed off over nothing, goes into rages, break things. Then gets all upset and kinda, I dunno, disappears into himself. Freaks out over loud noises.â
âYou said he served in the Marines. How long?â
âFour years.â
âWhat has he told you about that time?â
âNext to nothing, except watching someone close to him die.â
âHow about sleeping? Does he sleep well?â
âNo. And he has nightmares.â
âBefore he went to Mexico, did he lose control or have trouble sleeping?â
Had he? Oh yeah. âHe doesnât like sleeping in a bed âcause his dad used to tie him up and leave him. But he seemed okay when I was there.â
Doctor Drake nodded. âWhat was he like before?â
âKinda reserved, except when giving me a piece of his mind. Heâs one of those âsave the world, letâs all hold hands and get alongâ types. Except for the sleep thing and occasionally getting upset.â
âLucky, what youâre describing are classic Post Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms. Particularly the cowering when the car backfired. He may also suffer from survivorâs guilt, feeling guilty for living when his friend died.â
Or when workers in Mexico died. âBut he didnât act like this before our last case. Why now?â
âHe didnât show all these symptoms, or he was better at hiding them?â She cocked her head to the side.
Every coffee cup in the cabinet arranged handle out. All cans lined up, labels facing the same way. âControl. He has to be in control.â
âAnd in Mexico, he had no control, did he? You mentioned a man whoâd been maimed.
