Rainy Days and Mondays - Shawn Lane
Chapter 1
Storm Watch flitted across the screen on the television situated across from the hospital bed in Room 112.
No kidding,
Noel Bright muttered under his breath, his gaze flitting briefly to the one window in the room where he could make out the pouring rain through the slats of the blinds.
He returned his gaze to his patient, who was fretfully watching the news.
It’s all right, Mrs. Newton. It’s not as bad as all that.
Two days earlier, Clara Newton had spent her eightieth birthday in Haydon Cliff Medical Center’s ICU. She’d had what turned out to be a minor stroke. She was lucky it wasn’t worse, as she herself kept declaring, but while she was better, her doctor wasn’t quite ready to move her to a regular room.

Mrs. Newton asked. She was anxious, Noah could tell. She got chatty when she got anxious.
This was not her first time in Haydon Cliff Medical Center. A year earlier, she’d had a heart attack. She’d survived that and would survive this, too. She was a fighter and a survivor, but she was also beginning her eightieth decade, and they both new her days left in this life would be far fewer.
Good.
Police chief, isn’t he?
Noel shook his head. "Nah. Captain of the Homicide Division.
