HALLOWEEN - THE DOCTOR

HALLOWEEN-THE DOCTOR

Chapter 1.

Melissa Cramer was walking down the hall in her candy striper uniform.  She was looking for Dr. Michelle Carter.  Melissa was a high school junior. She attended St. Mary’s Catholic school for young women where she had been since starting in the sixth grade.  Besides being on the volleyball team and a member in many clubs, Melissa volunteered at the local hospital a couple of afternoons every week. 

Dr. Carter, or Shelly to her friends, was Melissa’s idol.  She was a young good looking female doctor.  Melissa wanted to be just like her.  Shelly had warmed to Melissa when they met a few months ago.  They shared coffee and Shelly offered advice on what Melissa needed to do if she wanted to go to medical school.  Dr. Carter was a good person and she got a lot of satisfaction from trying to help another woman get ahead in the medical profession.

Christina Meyer arrived at her late brother Carl's home on Saturday morning at about 9:30 AM.  Christina looked up as her sister-in-law Jean answered the door following Christina's light rapping on the door.  Since Jean was five foot nine and Christina less than five feet, she had to look up to face Jean.  Christina in her shoes and with her hair appeared to be a little less than five feet tall, but in actuality was closer to four and a half feet tall.

“Good morning Christina!”  Jean was wearing a nice cotton shirt and casual flowery skirt.

“Good morning Jean.  I see you are dressed and ready for a day at the spa?”

“Yes!  I've been looking forward to this all week.  I appreciate your paying for this, even if I did win our bet.  The lady I spoke to said it will take about 5 hours for the full treatment and my new hairdo.” 

“No problem.  You deserve it.  I know things have been tight since Carl's death.”

"Excuse me, young lady," a voice boomed down the hall.

I looked around and saw someone's matronly mother looking towards me.

"Who? Me?"

"Yes! You." She was walking down the hotel hall towards me.  I was between her room and the next set of doors heading for the ice machine.  "What is your name?"

"Well miss busybody, my name is Suzanne Treemont, as if that is any business of yours.  And, what is your name, like I care." My attitude was probably a little obnoxious, but hey, who did she think she was?

"I am Mrs. Martin, Suzy.  Are you Maureen Treemont's little sister?" 

I hated the nickname Suzy.  "Yes Maureen is my older sister. Do you know her?"  I wasn't sure why we were having this conversation.

"Yes, I know her.  Look, I'm the head chaperone for the scouts on this trip.  Can you please step into my room for a minute so we can discuss a few things?"
