Emily parked the car in front of Steve cottage.She come out of the driver side of the car.Stood there for a while as if studying the house.Ann come out too and stand next to her.
Emily--"This is it then.Alas I found him."
Ann--"My hands are cold Emily.The excitement is too much for me.I can't take it."
Emily--"Let's go and investigate now.Come on aunt Ann."
Emily and Ann approach the house and knock at the door but no answer.
Emily--"Looks like he is out but the door is open." She pull the door knob and the door opens."
Ann--"He will not go out leaving the door open like this girl.I think we should go in and investigate."
Emily--"I am going in.Stay close to me aunt Ann."
Emily goes in to the room and got to the studio.The studio looks untidy and there are paintings put against the walls.Easels,stools and painting materials all over the place.There is a door connecting the studio with the bedroom.Emily walk in to the bedroom.When she look around she found the alter at the end of the bed and on it stands a portrait of Emily.She stood there looking at it for a while her face looks very serious.
Ann is looking at the photos on the table and found a photo of Steve with a cap and gown.She take it from the table and showing it to Emily.
Ann--"This is him I remember his face.This is Dr Fothergill."
Emily--" Yes its him but where is he."
Ann--"I found a wine bottle and some pain killers tabs on the floor in next room.I had a feeling he had done something to himself."
Emily--"Are you thinking what I am thinking aunt Ann.If you do I think we should ring the hospital."
Emily dial her mobile and got to hospital.
Emily--"Can you put me through to accident and emergency department please."
"I am just enquiring about somebody by the name of Fothergill admitted to your department today sir."
"Thank you he is a very close friend of mine.Is he still in the observation ward?Can I come and see him?
Emily put the phone down.
"Aunty Ann there is no time to waste.We must go to hospital straight away."
Emily and Ann exit.......
