A Game within a Game Part 4

"First I want to take a shower, Helena," Rob said. "Okay, do so quickly, and hurry."

Rob left the room for a shower and the women talked to each other.

"What did she say Helena, when you mentioned my name?"

"She asked in what capacity her help was needed. I said I wasn't sure, but maybe both. Then she said to bring a suitcase with extra clothing with us, she wasn't precise and said that maybe a few sessions were needed. I don't know to what she was referring of, but I packed a few things for us. I won't show it to Rob, you know how he can be, but maybe if we confront him with saying that it is better to stay overnight, he will accept."

"Good," Marion affirmed, "And we keep in contact by phone. And I will inform Kim."

They waited a few more minutes, and then Rob returned, freshly shaven and feeling better. "I'm ready to depart ladies."

Marion said "I won't come along Rob. It will be more appropriate if only Helena accompanies you, but I'll keep in touch. I will inform Kim as soon we know more, she is very curious about your wellbeing."

Rob tenderly kissed Marion goodbye and off they went.

Helena drove, although Rob felt better, she didn't think it was a good idea to let him ride.

Soon they arrived, after passing a number of small villages, at the suburbs of a larger city. They stopped at an ordinary looking family house. The house was standing at the edge of a small park where children were playing. All very ordinary, Rob thought. When they got out, Helena took the weekend bag with her. Rob saw it, but didn't say anything. He had no idea what to expect. At the entrance of the path to her front door a sign told them that psychiatrist C. K. was living here. They rang at the front door, and a handsome woman of around 30-35 year opened the door.

"Hello, come in, I'm Doctor Catherine, but please call me Cathy," she introduced herself.

Rob observed her intensely: the Doctor was a slender build woman, with long legs and a good figure, her blond hair had been cut in a pony-style and the rest of her very long hair draped until below her shoulder blades. He also noticed she had a sincere smile and lines around her mouth; which implied that she had a good sense of humor. She needed that in her type of business, Rob thought.
