Chapter Six

The following day Cassy woke up on the couch confused, then slowly her thoughts cohered and she remembered that Bella had taken the bed. Always more concerned with his own personal comfort than any sense of loyalty, Herzog the cat had stayed in the bedroom too rather than sleep alongside Cassy on the couch.

He sauntered in casually, stretched, looked Cassy up and down a single time as if to say ‘Oh are you still here’ then sat on the sill of the window. Light streamed in all around him making his fur glow at the very tips.

“Looking good this morning, Herzog,” said Cassy as she stood up and stretched much the same way the feline had.

“I half expected him to answer,” came a soft but croaky voice to Cassy’s right. Bella looked refreshed after a decent night’s sleep in something other than a hospital bed. She clung to the door frame to support her weak legs and Cassy realized they hadn’t gotten the wheelchair. It had no doubt been gathered as evidence and was locked up somewhere at the station.

“Oh, he answers back all right, but never when I compliment him. He assumes that he looks good and only responds when slighted. He’s a sensitive little soul.”

Herzog ignored the discussion behind his back and continued to look out of the window to the street below.

“Breakfast?”

“Please.”

“Eggs?”

“That would be great. Do you have bacon?”

“I can get some.”

“Cassy?”

“Yes?”

Bella paused then looked away. “Do you think I could go to my house later?”

“Why? I mean it’s still all taped up.”

“I need to go back. Just to see, you know.”

“You can’t cross police tape, Bella.”

Cassy wanted to do all she could for Bella, but somethings were impossible. Revisiting the scene of such a traumatic experience could sometimes be beneficial, allowing survivors to get a better perspective. Bella was strong enough mentally to go back to the apartment, but even in her most reckless flights of fancy, Cassy would never cross police tape.

“I’ll tell you what. We’ll open the door and look inside without actually going in. That way we’re not really breaking any laws. Sound good?”

Bella nodded then ambled forward holding onto anything she could as she advanced, much like a climber navigating a treacherous ascent up Everest. Her legs buckled eventually but not before she’d safely made it to the couch.

“What do you remember about last night?” Cassy asked casually, as if talking about something other than the death of Bella’s mother.

Bella thought hard. “I don’t really remember all that much. He just seemed to come from nowhere—or rather from the bedroom. A big guy, I guess. All I remember seeing was that he was big, as if size was the most important thing, and not, you know, what he was wearing or what his face looked like.”

“Did you see his face?”

“I guess I must have, but I don’t remember. I just remember trying to get away and falling. It seemed like forever to drag myself all the way here.”

“Did you push yourself out?”

“What do you mean?”

“The wheelchair was out in the hall.
