Chapter 8—The Puzzle Pieces Fall

WILLIAMS AND A COLLEAGUE CAME IN later that morning to find the bedroom door closed, and the bedclothes and pyjamas unused on the sofa. He smiled, glad to know Dr. Chadwick had been in good enough shape physically and emotionally to allow for a normal night. He turned to his companion.

“They must still be asleep, Tina,” he told the woman quietly. “After all the stress yesterday, I’m not surprised.”

“Neither am I,” the female operative agreed solemnly. “They’ve got guts, I’ll say that for ‘em.”

“They do. And to spare. We’ll come back—”

They were interrupted when the door to the bedroom cracked open, and Holmes’ face peered out.

“I thought I heard voices,” he remarked. “If you would wait a few minutes, we shall be right out. We were merely talking. I thought it good to begin the day…slowly.”

“Very good, Holmes,” Williams nodded, and he and Tina sat down on the sofa.

A little while later, the two emerged. Holmes was fully dressed in cream linen slacks and royal blue t-shirt, but Skye was wrapped in Holmes’ dressing gown, and walked tentatively, her arms folded protectively across her chest.

“Hurts, huh?” Williams remarked sympathetically.

“Yeah, Will,” Skye admitted. “I don’t seem to have any undergarments that fit, that don’t hurt it, either.”

“That’s why I’m here, luv,” Tina offered gently.

“Are you the lady agent Will arranged for, to get me the lingerie for my…?” Skye wondered, trying to give the other woman a smile.

“That’d be me. It’s a sure thing Will here wasn’t touchin’ it. I’m Tina Tyler.” Tina grinned and held up a shopping bag. “We anticipated problems last night, and something in here ought to do the trick. C’mon, let’s go into the bedroom and see about getting you set.”

“Right,” Williams remarked. “I’ll bring breakfast around while you take care of that.”

Skye followed Tina into the bedroom as Williams left the saferoom. Holmes shadowed the pair.

“Do you require assistance?” he wondered, as Tina laid a selection of bras on the bed.

“No, but you don’t have to run off, either,” Tina noted. “I expect Dr. Chadwick might be glad to have you handy. Now come on, luv, put your arms down and let’s get you into something supportive.”

Tina helped Skye ease out of Holmes’ dressing gown to find the scientist already clad in panties, then tisked in sympathy as she saw the bruising.

Holmes watched as Tina placed a telfa pad over Skye’s nipple to absorb any drainage, taping it into place. Then the two women went through the bras, Tina gently ensuring Skye was properly tucked into each one before having the scientist walk about the room. Eventually they settled on one comfortable enough for Skye to move about. It proved to be a sports bra, constructed of soft, nonstretch materials that cradled her chest and permitted virtually no movement.

“Ohh, that feels so much better,” Skye groaned her relief. “Now I can get dressed.”

“Have you showered yet?” Tina asked. “Or do you want help?”

“I have. Sherlock had to help, though, I’ll admit. The hot water felt really good.
