Chapter seven

“Oliver! Over here!”

Oliver returned Micah’s wave and walked across The Thatcher’s Arms’ public bar to the table he occupied with Harry and Tom. “Hey.” He greeted them with a grin and flopped into the chair Tom held out for him. “Jason working?” he asked Tom.

“Yeah,” Tom grumbled. “He was supposed to be off today, but he’s had to come in because Colin’s feeling under the weather again.” He took a crisp out of the bag in front of him and crunched on it before continuing. “But he’s promised to join us. As will you.” Oliver had been in Little Mowbury for almost three weeks and the first thing he’d learned was to do as he was told.

“What’s wrong with Colin?” Oliver asked, gratefully accepting the pint of coke Harry had got him from the bar. “God, thank you, Harry. My daily coffee intake is being kept an eye on by the ever diligent Hilary. Apparently it’s not good for me.” He air-quoted the latter half of the sentence then took several big gulps of coke. The magical liquid lit up his taste buds, fizzed its way down his gullet and hit his stomach with a satisfying slosh. He sighed contentedly. “I needed that.”

“You’re welcome,” Harry replied. “You’re looking a little frazzled. Busy morning?”

Oliver nodded. “This stomach virus is knocking people down like pins in a bowling alley. Surgery the last few days has been manic. I’ve seen half the village.” He turned his attention back to Tom. “Has Colin got it, too?”

Tom frowned. “No, it’s the same thing he saw Dr. M for the week before you arrived.” Oliver raised his eyebrows and shook his head. “You know, the fatigue, the dizzy spells…”

It was Oliver’s turn to shake his head. Since he’d arrived, he’d made it his business to go through every patients file. He knew Colin had a stroke a while ago, but apart from repeat prescriptions, Colin hadn’t made any appointments at the surgery.

“Colin hasn’t been to the surgery for months.”

“What’re you talking about?” Jason said as he slid into the empty seat beside Tom. “Maggie made him an appointment weeks ago.”

“Colin’s was one of the files I read through a couple of days ago.” Oliver shrugged. “I don’t know what to tell you. If he had an appointment, he didn’t keep it. How long has this been going on?”

“Too long,” Jason growled. “Maggie is going to kill him. He told us Malcolm did some blood work and it all came back fine. Sod Maggie, I’m gonna kill him myself. I know he’s scared, but the silly old fool is being unreasonable. He thinks if he buries his head in the sand it’ll just go away.”

“Well, if the mountain won’t come to Mohamed and all that,” Oliver said, downing the rest of his drink. “I’ll pay Mr. Mason a little house visit after the end of surgery today. Might be an idea to distract Maggie. No sense in her worrying until we find out whether there’s anything to worry about.
