Strip Search
“None of it really worked, certainly not fast enough. At the least, I thought I might get a little sleep out of it. Even after they finally released me from the hospital, battered and bruised and stitched in about a dozen places, I needed sleep, especially after hours and hours of interrogation and questioning and all the blank stares that implied the same message, over and over again: How could you let this happen? To a fellow cop? To your friend? How could you let it happen?
When I was finally... able to return to my apartment, I crawled into bed in my clothes, pulled a pillow between my legs, and curled up like an embryo, wanting to cry, not able to cry. I needed to talk to someone. I needed to know that someone was there.
I reached past the alarm clock and grabbed the four-leaf clover charm. I squeezed it tight in my fist.
Nothing happened. I tried again, this time clenching my eyes shut as well.
Still nothing happened.
David? David?
It wasn’t working. I closed my eyes but all I saw was a fog.MoreLess
