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.”
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 very 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.
