Chapter Twenty Eight_Old Lady Friend?

"Herbert my boy! I'm so glad you're here. We've really missed you!" The old woman exclaimed happily, hugging the man tightly.

Nearly suffocating in the old woman's embrace, Detective Kesley managed to cough out; "I've missed you guys too."

The old woman released him, then stared quizzically at him.

"Are you okay, dear?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Really." Detective Kesley assured her.

"Com'on then, sit down. I've got so much to tell you," she acquiesced, bustling him to a nearby seat.

He sat down with a thump.

Officer David came in and closed the door behind him.

He sighted Detective Kesley and grinned widely.

He walked towards his friend and they pumped hands vigorously, then hugged as Detective Kesley stood up.

"How are you doing, man?" Officer David asked his friend, as both of them sat down.

"Fine and good. Still shaken after that incident though," Detective Kesley replied, sighing.
