Time to open the doors once more, I hope my request package comes back soon from the Fleet or Marines, if they are half as bad as the civilian population are I will have my work cut out for me. Turning around I see Anjela coming around the corner:: "Good day Ms. Dibbs, I see you are right on time":: "Yes and you, once more you are two steps ahead of me"I open the door for her and she glides by always with a smile and a gentle stroke of her hand down my arm. She head to the receptionists desk, puts her things in a desk drawer and starts to make coffee. I turn the sign around on the door from closed to open and turn the lights on, walk over to the coat rack and take my hat and coat and hang them on it. As I walk by her I get a whiff of vanilla, not the coffee but from her (She's been reading that book on foods and the psyche) I will have to let her know it works without letting her know I know what she is up to. Opening my office door I feel like things are about to change some how but don't know how or what, I set down in my chair.

Well the day was slow and it is time to go and have a bite to eat. I lock all the drawers and filling cabinets, turn off the light, shut and lock the office door. As I pass by Anjela at her desk she look over at me "Ms. Dibbs It is time to lockup and call it a day, I am going to get something to eat would you care to join me for dinner?"She puts the pin down and folds the folder she was working on closed, put is in the side drawer and locks the desk, looks up and with a smile "I would love too, let me get my hat and things" she receives her items and walks through the door as I hold it open. I lock the door after turning the open sign to closed. We walk with a awkward silence to Viper Flight Bistro and Lounge, this was said to be the place to go if one wanted to make an impression on a young lady.

D unlocks the door and turns on the lights, leaves the door open it was a worm night and the open air felt good to him, he walks over to the desk and get the paper work out to renew his license. Sets down at the receptionist desk and starts to fill it out.

D had went to sleep with his head on the desk. "awwwwwwww" He started to stretch and rub the back of his head. he looked over at the wall clock 5am, he had 2hrs before opening the office, just time for a quick shower and shave. He went to the privet room that had his spear suits and the shower. He first did his morning routine (100 push-ups, 100 set-ups, 10 minutes of jump rope, and 15 minutes of stress relaxation exercises). "Time for refreshing"He got the shower and shave. Pulled out the suit that caught is eye and get dressed. He looked in the mirror "How you doin? HOW you doin? how YOU doin? how ya doing?" He smiled and busted out with a laughing "HA, HA, HA" It was good to be able to laugh at yourself. Time was 6:30am she should be coming around the corner in about 10 minutes, he went to the door, stepped out, locked the door, and waited for her.

Ms. Dibbs calls D that he has a walk in "Yes I have some time, show the person in. On second thought I will come to the visitor" D gets up and walk to the front. "Good day, I am Dr. Dean" He hold out his hand to receive a hand shake.

D shakes his hand "I am glad you walked in, my door is always open day or night" D lets the mans hand go (Something was not just so with the man, but it did not make D feel fear but warmth) "Miss if you will come with me or if you would like your friend or Friends may come with you if you like, this is your time"

"You may set wear ever you like, this is your time so make yourself at home. Would you be more comfortable if the door was open or shut" This was a way for D to see some things about the young lady.

"EL, if I may call you that? and you can call me Dr. or Dean, my friends call me D, If you would like you can call me D. Before we start let me say first that as I have stated before This is your time you can start when you like, stop when you like, if you would like to talk that is fine, if you just want me to talk I will do so, this is all up to you EL. Please take this" He hands over to her a card with the office #, Pager #, cell #, and the police # "This is so you can call me anytime day or night" D sets back in the chair opposite her (Not behind the desk he wanted her to feel that he had all his attention on her) "EL do you mind if I record the session and not take notes, this way I can review it later?"

D could see that the young lady did not understand why he asked "So to you your family is your daughter, Lyna, adopted, and Jesse. What about you Mother and Father?"

D could see it was making her uneasy "EL, I was just asking general questions, you stated you wear thinking about your life, your purpose and most Importantlyy, your family. If you do not wish to talk about your family thats fine, what would you like to talk about" D gave a little smile and let EL have the floor.

D went to the mini-frig in the corner and pulled out an unopened bottle of cool water, opened the cabinet above it and retrieved a glass that was sealed in plastic rap, walked back and set the items on the table next to her. (Some people have a thing with germs). "EL first let me say you do not need to be excused from anything, if I ask a question and you do not wish to answer just let me know that you do not want to answer it. Second lets start calling it an issue and not a problem, we are going to work on getting to the problem. Lastly every one remembers things differently, one person may remember the day they had their first date but cannot remember the person they wear with. Why we remember some thing and forget others is unknown but you maybe right, or not" D looked at EL as she digested what he just said. "EL I would like you to do two things starting today...." D got up and went to his desk opened the bottom drawer go a booklet just like the ones we used to use in school and a box of pins. He shut the drawer, turned and opened a cupboard got an item that she could not see. He shut the cupboard and came back around and took his seat. "So, the two thing are first" He set the booklet and pins down on her lap and she put her hand down to hold the items from falling off "I would like you write in the booklet, you can what ever you like, you can draw if you would like, but please write wen ever you get those feeling that make you feel......Not Right.... good or bad. Write things you can remember from your past and write the way you are feeling down as you remember it. And" He pulls out a small recording device that was about the size of a cell phone and hand it over to her, "EL Please say... Record....." He held up the device and pushed a button, she looked at it oddly and "Record.." He pulled it back down pushed some buttons and handed it over to her, she took it and looked up at him. "If you are driving, working, walking, or just can't write things down all you have to do is say...Record... and if you are within a 15 feet range of this recorder it will start recording, to stop it all you have to do is say... Stop... and it will." He waited for all this to sink in before going on. "Secondly I would like you to start doing some relaxation exercises, it might help you some. This one is simple, take a deep breath and as you are taking it count 1, 2, 3 and hold it for the count of 1, 2, let it out on a count of 1, 2, 3, 4."/color] They worked on the exercise for a good ten minutes until they wear doing it like they wear one. He hoped it will her for it was making him very calm and relaxed after the first two minute, even with the things going on in his life. "You did very good" She looked relaxed and her demeanor was calming. D called "Recepsionist....." "Yes Doctor?" "Will you make an appointment for EL for next Monday, and also make a note that if she calls I am to be notified ASAP?" "Appointment on Monday, If she calls notify DR. ASAP! Is that all Dr.?" "Yes, and thank you Ms Dibbs" He turns his attention back to EL, "So our time is up, remember this is not something We can do over night but we will work on it every day, call me if you need even if you just need to vent or yell at some one, I am hear for you" D got up walked over behind her and held the chair as she got up, he went to the door, opened it and walked behind her to her family they came to her and she put an arm around the little girl and held the mans arm they smiled at D and he smiled back "I'll see you this Monday coming in three (3) days" The door shut behind them and D went back to his office to make some notes and check on some things that mite help her......, and to check on the feeling that the man named Jesse made him feel.
