SHORT STORIES AND POEMS PRESENTS: “THE HEADSHRINKER”

LAST TIME ON HEADSHRINKER:


 De-briefing"
FBI Agent 1: "What new memories have surfaced?"

Dr. Calmer: "As I was laying in the rubble, I saw a supernatural sight."  "A supernatural being appeared to him, and was conversing with him, and then they both vanished from the building." "After that, I blacked out and awakened in that strange place."

FBI Agent 1: "It fits,' 'It was believed that Jack-the-riper used uncanny-power to failed all his victims." "God help-us!"

Dr. Calmer: "This does not sound crazy to you?"

FBI Agent 1: "I am a believer in a higher power." "Besides, in your absence, while searching through the debris, all my men were reporting strange sightings, and occurrences."

Dr. Calmer: "Our strategy must change."  "We need to scrutinize all operatives working with us on this case." "No one corruptible." The more incorruptible, the least likely they can be compromised against us."

FBI Agent 1: "Amen to that!" "Go to your Wife, and get some rest, after your routine check up at the hospital."

Dr. Calmer: "Right Captain!"  "See you in the morning.

TO BE CONTINUED:


At the hospital:
      Doctor Calmer has an unusual experience with a nurse during his check-up:

Nurse 1: "Been investigating some unusual crimes lately, hem?"

Dr. Calmer: "Yes!, but how would you know anything about that?" "This mission is classified, and need to know basis."

Nurse 1: "Too much weird crap was happening to keep it quite, when all those agents and cops came in here and were sent straight to the psych ward talking about supernatural sightings."  "You be careful out there doc!"  "You good people, and trying your best to do good with the law and all."  The wicked on would love to stop-ya." Later!"

Dr. Calmer:  "Right???"

Nurse 2:  "Time for your EKG doc, then you can go home to your wife."

     The doctor notices something familiar about the nurse, but was too preoccupied with other thoughts to acknowledge it at first, but then he noticed a needle with her supplies and asked:

Dr Calmer: "When did you start giving injections with an EKG?"

Nurse 2: "Dr. said your iron is low, and he ordered an injection."  She said while carefully keeping her back to him.

Dr. Calmer:  "My iron is not low, and why are you keeping your back to me?" 

Suddenly the doctor recognized a familiar tone to her voice and realized it was the women that was impersonating his wife in that strange place.  Then he drew is weapon.

Dr. Calmer: "Freeze!" "Don't move!"

With cat-like reflexes, she grabs the needle and threw it at him just accurately enough to run out while he was dodging  the needle, Knocking down the guard that was rushing in as she went out.

Nurse 1: "You okay doc!?"

Dr. Calmer: "Yes!"  "How the hell did she get in here?"

Nurse 1: "I don't know sir, I am so confused"  "Security has been so tight lately.  I'm scared. 

Door Guard: "She alluded us sir, but men are still searching for her."
Dr. Calmer:  "Keep up the search and contact me at home when you find her."

Later at the safe house with his wife:

Dr. Calmer: "Oh love, I missed you so much!"

Wife: "I missed you to, babe."  "After you kill this scum-of-the-earth "Club Owner", you need to retire and take me to Florida and leave all this crazy life behind."

Dr. Calmer:  "I wish it could be that simple, my dear."  "The law says we need to try to apprehend them and bring them to justice."

Wife: "Well I feel like Bill Cosby on his new show he had, 'no apprehending, kill, start shooting from the van!"

They both laugh real hard for moments as they embrace and the went to sleep.

SHORT STORIES AND POEMS PRESENTS: “THE HEADSHRINKER” LAST TIME ON HEADSHRINKER:



FBI Agent 1:  "I don't know what happened doc, but everyone is gone, and we are outside."  "Somehow they knew we were coming."  "I think we have a leak in our operation." "I'm going to need your help to plug it up. ASAP."

Dr. Calmer: "With pleasure!"  "Thanks for coming after me."

FBI Agent 1: "You are one of our best operatives, and we would be lost without you." "Don't mention it.
As the doctor comes out and boards the chopper, and sinks into a deep contemplated phase, wondering how a gangster, drug lord, human-trafficker,
and killer, could be so elusive, and cunning, and have such power and resources at his disposal.

TO BE CONTINUED:

Little did the doctor know, those puzzling thoughts would awaken suppressed thoughts deep in his consciousness.  Memories of what happened after the explosion in the prison. In his semi-conscious state, while piled in the rubble, a supernatural figure appeared and was conversing with the Club owner.  He remembers thinking to himself:  "Stand was right, well half-right.  This man is not the devil, but not far from-it.

Dr. Calmer: "Good lord!"

FBI Agent 1: "What is it?"

Dr. Calmer: "Some memories from the explosion are coming back to me."  Memories that might explain a great many things.

FBI Agent 1: "Excellent Doc!" "However, save it for de-briefing,"

Dr. Calmer: "Agreed."

                                                                         De-briefing"

Dr. Calmer: "Dear, ' 'You made my favorite,' 'waffles! "

Fake wife:  "I know how much you like them, babe!"
Suddenly, she got a phone call: "Hello?"

Club Owner:  "Get out of there, now.  Tell him anything you want, but just go." The FBI is on the way to get him in choppers armed to the teeth.

Fake wife:  "Ahh,  Okay!!"

Dr. Calmer: "Is there a problem dear?"

Fake wife:  "No."  "Just have to go to work a little early' She lied as she left the room in a hurry.

Although he new she was lying, he said:
Dr. Calmer: "Can I drive you?"

Fake wife: "No, I'm good." She said as she left the house.

The doc's phone rings and he answers it.

Dr. Calmer: "Hello?"

FBI Agent 1:  "I don't know what happened doc, but everyone is gone, and we are outside."  "Somehow they knew we were coming."  "I think we have a leak in our operation." "I'm going to need your help to plug it up. ASAP."

Doctor Calmer Wakes up in a strange place!

SHORT STORIES AND POEMS PRESENTS: “THE HEADSHRINKER” LAST TIME ON HEADSHRINKER:



Doctor Calmer: “Who are you?” …..and where is this place?”
Fake wife: “You are home dear,” and calm yourself, you have been through a lot.”  “A very bad bump on the head, short-term memory loss, and a slight concussion.”

“Lay back down, get some rest, things will make more since 

in the morning dear.”

The doctor quickly agreed for he though if someone would go 
through the trouble to fake all of this, they must be 

watching.  

All he could remember clearly was the prison and that loud 

explosion.  So he laid back down.

TO BE CONTINUED:
VON BRO
    

    Stunned, disoriented, slightly confused, Doctor Calmer carefully plans his next moves.
Suddenly he remembers the device he got from one of his clients:

FLASH BACK:
Doctor Calmer: “Wait a minute!” “You said some of them out there knows more about what’s going on, you shouldn’t be talking here, the place could be under surveillance.
Stand: “Don’t worry Doc, I got it covered, He said as he pulled out a cell phone with an unusual device plugged into it.  “One of my latest creations”
Doctor Calmer: “What is that?”
Stand: “It is a special white-sound device the scrambles one’s personal conversations, so that no one can eavesdrop on you.”
Doctor Calmer: “Scrambled signals can be unscrambled Son.”
Stand: “Maybe so, however when they do, that’s when the software really goes to work and confuses them even more.”  “I call it my tower-of-babel program.” “It will sound like I’m kicking it with my homies, and pay it know mind,”
Doctor Calmer: “Very clever my Son.”  “I will pull some strings and get you immediately put in my custody under house arrest.”  “No one would dare try anything with me watching them.”  “After my report, they would have too much to explain.”
Stand:  “Thanks Doc!”  “You are a good man, here take one of my devices, in case we get separated, so I can call you safely when I can.”
Doctor Calmer: “Thank you.”  “I was wanting to learn more about that device.”
Stand: “I though you would.” “The instructions and specs will be sent to you e-mail.”   

He pulled out  the device he had carefully hid on his person and looked around for anything that looked like a cell-phone.

Fake wife: "Whats the matter, dear?"
He nonchalantly said:
Dr. Calmer: "I seem to have misplaced my cellphone, you know where it is?
Fake wife: "No! You must have lost it when you had your accident, but I know you don't remember, but I got you a new one." "Here dear."  "I know you would like to call your office,' "And you can't wait to get back to shrinking heads."  "I will go make you some breakfast."  As she leaves the room, he assumes he's being watched, so he goes to the bathroom and cuts off the lights before he puts in the devices which automatically triggers a text to Stand to put his in before he starts talking. Stand immediately responds and then calls him: 
Dr. Calmer: "Hi Stand!"
Stand: "Hi Doc!" "We have been waiting for your contact, when we did not find your body in the demolished building." "You okay doc?"
Dr. Calmer: "Yes!"  "I'm Fine." My-Wife?"
Stand: "She's fine; Safe House, Hi security!"
"I got to go now." "The F.B.I. Told me only to talk to you just long enough for them to get a fix on your location." "A rescue mission is on the way."  "Also they know what's up about this device." "Be sure to keep it out of sight."

SHORT STORIES AND POEMS PRESENTS: “THE HEADSHRINKER” LAST TIME ON HEADSHRINKER:


The next day:  At the state prison:
Club owner: “Well!” “The good doctor is making a house call in the prison.”  “What kind of answers to think I will give you to any question you have for me.”  He said in a very ferocious tone.
Doctor Calmer: “Whatever I need to know, you will give it to me.” “With or without your cooperation.”
Club owner:  “I am sorry my good doctor, but you caught me at a bad time, I was about to step out for a moment.”
Doctor Calmer: “That will be a neat trick, in a maximum security prison.”
Club owner:  “I am not into tricks.”  “No Dave Copperfield here.”  “However, Maybe and air strike!”

Our story returns with doctor Calmer knock semi-unconscious. Fading in and out of what he thought was reality and dreams.  Finally, he woke up in a place he did not recognize at all.

Doctor Calmer: “Where am I?” the doctor said, as he gazed around an elegantly furnished room.
Fake wife: “You’re back home, safe and sound my dear”
The doctor paused for a moment as he recalled the sound of his wife’s voice, right-away noticed something different in the tone.  Turning around to take a look, he noticed it was not his wife, but a good replica, but about 50 years younger.
Doctor Calmer: “Who are you?” …..and where is this place?”
Fake wife: “You are home dear,” and calm yourself, you have been through a lot.”  “A very bad bump on the head, short-term memory loss, and a slight concussion.”
“Lay back down, get some rest, things will make more since in the morning dear.”

SHORT STORIES AND POEMS PRESENTS: “THE HEADSHRINKER” LAST TIME ON HEADSHRINKER:

Owner of the club: “You win this time.., Doc.”  “The war is not over yet,” “It has just begun.”
FBI Agent 1: “Take this thug away, and after interrogations, store him on the coolest ice you can find.” “Another grate mission doc.”  I really wish we could keep you permanently, but I know you have more heads to shrink.”  “Thank you for all you do!”  “And get to the hospital for a routine checkup.”
Doctor Calmer: “Yes, I will.” “Have a good night”
As the seen brakes up, the doctor could not help but wonder what the club owner meant when he said:
“The war is not over yet,” “It has just begun.”
Maybe nothing, or maybe there are more people pulling string that meets the eyes.  As he gets into his car and drives home, those words keep echoing in his mind.  Because of his much disciplined mind, the moment he sees his wife, he calmly shoves it all into his subconscious and hugs and kisses her and they go inside.
TO BE CONTINUED:


     Doctor Calmer’s subconscious tends to invade his sleep that night.  His attempts to hide his concerns from is dear wife, are unsuccessful.  The words: “The war is not over yet,” “It has just begun.”… “The war is not over yet,” “It has just begun.” Keep echoing in his mind all through the night.  Finally his wife awakens him:
“Dan ‘Drew Calmer’?”  She always says when she knows he’s trying to hide something from her.
Wife: “What is it, you have been talking in your sleep all night, and you’re driving me crazy.”  “You might as well spit-it-out!”
Doctor Calmer: “Nothing you should be concerned about dear.”  “I will get it together.”
Wife: “You need to get it together now so I can get some sleep!”
Doctor Calmer: “I will dear”, I just need to go and talk to someone.” “Soon!”
Wife: “Talk to me now!”  “How dangerous is this, ehh, Club gangster?”  “Is he a threat to our family in anyway?”
Doctor Calmer: “Dangerous enough that you do not need to know any more than you do.” “Go back to sleep, and everything will be fine after I get some answers to some things tomorrow.”  He says as he embraces her and kisses her tenderly.  They love on each other for a while and then pass back out to sleep.
The next day:  At the state prison:
Club owner: “Well!” “The good doctor is making a house call in the prison.”  “What kind of answers to think I will give you to any question you have for me.”  He said in a very ferocious tone.

SHORT STORIES AND POEMS PRESENTS: “THE HEADSHRINKER” LAST TIME ON HEADSHRINKER:





Stand: “Wow!” “Doc!”  “You are truly an amazing man!”  “How do you keep so cool under such difficult situations?”
Doctor Calmer: “I like to think that it is not me doing the work.”  “I believe there is a much higher power at work and I am just a tool in his hands”
Stand: “Amen!
Doctor Calmer:  “Your session is up my son.”  “And son, please stay out of clubs.
As the doc leaves his office, he keeps feeling like something is wrong and he keeps hearing the sound of foot steps behind him in the dark shadows of the parking structure.  And then:
Owner of the club: “Well, well, well!” He said as he stands in the shadows shinning a blinding light in the doctor’s face.  “We finally meet.”
Doctor Calmer: “It’s you!”  “You must surrender!”
Owner of the club: “Not a chance!” He says as he fires a shot at the doctor.  He’s hit and he goes down and is motionless.
TO BE CONTINUED:


As the doctor lays motionless, the perpetrator starts to gloat of his seeming triumph over his believed victim. And says:
Owner of the club: “Did you think that you would be able to stop a multi-billion dollar operation so easily?” “Somebody must have told you wrong.”
As the doctor continues to lay motionless, suddenly laser-sight beams start to converge on our perp from all angles, and a voice out of the darkness says:
FBI Agent 1: “I think the good doctor said it plainly.” “You must surrender.”  “You okay doc?”
Doctor Calmer: “Right as rain sir, however it does sting a little.”
Owner of the club: “What is this, I killed you,  Iagggga!” He said as he starts to raise his gun again.
Doctor Calmer: “I would not do that if I were you.” “There are dozens of highly-trained FBI agents behind those beams on your chest, and they will make a hole in you that you could never be able to drive yourself to the hospital to get fixed.”  “No matter how tough you are.”
Owner of the club: “You win this time.., Doc.”  “The war is not over yet,” “It has just begun.”
FBI Agent 1: “Take this thug away, and after interrogations, store him on the coolest ice you can find.” “Another grate mission doc.”  I really wish we could keep you permanently, but I know you have more heads to shrink.”  “Thank you for all you do!”  “And get to the hospital for a routine checkup.”
