Mystery woman found in Toppers Park
The article went on to detail how the unknown woman had been found in Toppers park by someone walking their dog. TV and radio appeals were being made in the hope someone could identify the woman who was suffering from amnesia. Craven stared at the image on the screen. It was Louise—she was sitting up in a hospital bed—a weak smile on her lips.
He scrolled quickly through subsequent papers. The story unfolded over the next few days. The last article—a week later— reported no one had come forward to identify the woman who was being released from hospital. It said she'd taken the name Jackie Coleman which apparently was based on the name of the dog which had found her, and the name of the ward in which she'd stayed.
It didn't take him long to trace her from there. She was still living under that name. She shared a flat with another young woman, Alison, and she had a job in a travel agents. Craven allowed himself a smile when he found out where she worked. It brought back bitter, sweet memories.
*********
Craven stood in the doorway of an electrical superstore which was directly opposite Dexter Travel. He had no idea what time she started work, so he'd arrived at seven-thirty—just to be safe. His heart was racing, and he found it difficult to stand still. He'd waited for this moment for so long—too long.
At eight forty five, she appeared. He could hardly breathe as he watched her walk across the car park. He wanted desperately to call out to her—to take her into his arms—to kiss her. Instead, he waited—ignoring the looks from the staff of the electrical store. When he was sure she was alone in the shop, he made his way over. Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door open—a bell chimed. Once inside, he slipped into the shadows in one corner of the shop. As she walked passed him and towards the door, he moved quietly over to her desk.
“Shit!” she said when she turned around “You made me jump.”
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you,” he said.
