Husband's Ultimate Betrayal.

[Henry]

Chris

I took a few hours sleep and once awake freshened up with a quick shower and change of clothes. Grabbing my briefcase I headed downstairs to make my trip to the Airport.

The flight was a short one and the view high up in the sky was awesome as Sydney's office buildings came into view. My meetings went as well as expected and i was soon relaxing in a Sydney hotel. Sheesh Here i was in Sydney and i was thinking about what a tangled web of actions i had left in Adelaide.

That could be dealt with when i got back there, I needed to get the next meeting covered then i could tell my boss back there to shove his job up his ass.

Decisions on whether i got a new job would be made in about a months time so i would still have to work for the asshole, but if i knew i had another job to go to it would be an easy month for me.

Arriving back in Adelaide i make my way back to the Grosvenor Hotel. Picking up the phone i place a call to Anne saying " I'm back from my trip and if you want to see me let me know."

Picking up a rental property guide i started looking for a cheap house to rent when a thought sparked in my head, if i got a job what in the blazes was i going to do with yet another property. There was the option of renting it or why not see if i could store the majority of my possessions at Anne's or even see if i could move in with her.

This is something that needed working out just as i knew i had to control my anger a little more around her as i had seen her reactions to it when shown.

My mind was racing and i waited to hear from Anne.

Anne got back home from work two days later, walking in the door she placed her purse and other things on the dining table. Walking to the kitchen she made a pot of tea and pushed the button on the answering machine as the light was blinking and someone had left her a message.

"I'm back from my trip and if you want to see me let me know."

Her heart leaped when she heard Chris' voice, she didnt even realize how much she missed him.

She picked up the phone and called only to end it quickly with a message at his hotel to call her and she would be home all evening.

She called his cell and left a message on it as well hoping he would check both.

"Chris, Its me, Anne Im home for the evening and dont have plans for the weekend."

She deleted the message on the answering machine and went to the back of the house to her room to change, waiting to see if Chris would call.

Chris

Well since i hadnt slept whilst in Sydney i was in dire need of some so i crashed it on the bed soon after the phone call to Anne.

I woke about 4 hrs later and checked my mobile, there was a message from Anne, she was going to home the rest of the evening and all weekend. Freshening myself up i left my room and made my way downstairs to the parking lot.

Stopping on the way over to Anne's i bought a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates. Pulling up the driveway i knocked on her door and waited for an answer.

 

[Jaenelle]

Anne finished changing and wandered into the kitchen to get her tea she made, looking at the answering machine Chris still hadnt called her back.

A heavy "sigh" escaped her lips, picking up the tea she gracefully made her way into the living room and turned on the TV. Flipping through the channels looking for something to watch as she enjoyed her tea.

The sun starting to go down she looked outside at the array of color in her front yard, the flower garden she had planted in the spring was at full bloom.

She started to fall asleep when she heard the knock on the door and wondered who would come see her.

Anne slowly got up and went to open the front door, seeing Chris brought a smile to her face.

"Chris, Please come in!" She said excitedly.

 

[cgraven]

No word from Chris in days I check my answering machine almost hourly now.

“Damn I’ll go see him”

On the motor bike dodging through traffic flat out for the “Grosvenor Hotel”.

My thoughts distract me as I weave through the dock area for Chris’s hotel.

“Christ a Heavy goods wagon , breaks screech, the bike fish tails I feel myself losing it. Searing pain all goes black

*****************

Chris's phone rings

Sir Constable Higgins here. do you know a Mr. Danny McKenna/

..... Sir I am afraid there has been an accident.... Mr. McKenna is .............".

 

[Henry]

Chris

Following Anne into the lounge i put the wine and chocolates down and proceeded to get some glasses for the wine.

On my way back from the kitchen my mobile rang.

I almost dropped the glasses and im pretty sure my face went white like a ghost.

Calling out to Anne i sat down at the kitchen table and tried talking to the voice on the other end of the phone.

If you could let me know how and when this happened would greatly help............ I will be there shortly but first which hospital............... Sheesh this cannot be happening or can it, if you are jerking my chain Constable Higgins your job is on the line to say the least.

I waited for a response from the other end of the phone as i took a mouthful of water that Anne had presented me with. Looking at Anne and covering the mouthpiece of the phone i said " Looks like this could very well be a short visit as i might have to head out."

If you remember the otherday at work when my ex-wife showed the man standing next to her - seems he has been involved in an accident. NOW im not feeling so good so leaving the phone on the table i bolt to the bathroom and heave my guts up. Freshening up a little and washing my face i returned to the kitchen and sat down still awaiting news on Danny's accident.

 

[Jaenelle]

Turning to Chris as his mobile rang, Anne saw him turn white as a ghost and fall into the chair next to the dining table. Anne went to get him a glass of water while Chris was on the phone. Placing the glass in front of Chris she made sure he drank a little bit of it.

Chris had soon said he felt sick and went to the bathroom, she had picked up the phone after he placed it on the table.

"Hello, This is Anne, Chris is unable to finish the call......Is there anything I can help you with?" Anne was shaken herself, she didnt like to see car accidents.

On the other end of the line the Constable asked if Anne would bring Chris to the hospital, she agreed that would be best so as Chris wouldnt get in an accident himself trying to get their. Anne hung up the mobile and told Chris to get ready to go down to the hospital and see Danny.

"Chris, You might want to let Angela know about the accident and find out if she wants to meet us at the hospital. Danny and her were getting close from what I understand."

Anne went to get her purse, as she came back in she looked at Chris and asked, "Are you ready?"

 

[cgraven]

Chris’s mobile rang again, and that Official voice was back again, softer a bit hesitant, as if searching for the right words.

Sir Constable Higgins here. I regret to inform you that Mr. McKenna did not make it……Do you know who should be notified… as yours was the only number that we have………..We need to notify the next of kin Sir.”

Damn, Constable Higgins hated this portion of his job, but it had to be done.

 

[Henry]

Chris

As i was getting ready to walk out the front door with Anne my mobile rang again.

It was Constable Higgins again, leaning against the wall i again turned white and slumped down against the wall with the phone resting on my ear. Damn it. How and why did this happen to my best mate.

"Constable Higgins i dont know of anyone else as he never really seemed to talk about family."

Once those words were uttered i looked at Anne before slowly standing and staggers out the front door to get some fresh air.

 

[Jaenelle]

Anne didnt know what to say to Chris as she stood in the door way. Chris walked out and Anne followed, closing the door behind her.

Chris stood on the patio leaning on the railing, Anne didnt want to interupt him.............

"Chris, Let me get you to the hospital so you can take care of your friend."

Chris couldnt say anything but he followed Anne to the car and got in.

 

[Henry]

Chris

I got into Anne's car still feeling sick after the news i had recieved about Danny.

Putting my hand on Anne's hand the words weren't easy but they had to be uttered " Danny unfortunately didn't pull through".

What was the point of going to the hospital, go there to see a mangled up body. No that was not the way i wanted to remember a good mate.

Waiting for a response from Anne i lit a smoke and cracked the window to get some fresh air.
