[UPDATE] The Ooze Zone - 3 Aug 06 - Aftermath

Aftermath

Quote:

It's not been the best day. I could think of things I'd rather have been doing. Hanging out with Anna and her kids, for one. Or listening to Scorsese work on the E-flat diminished ninth. Or cleaning my flat with a toothbrush. Instead, I was at Fleming's house. With the children. Working out what I was going to say at Anna's memorial service.

She was just normal, that's the thing. She wasn't the wisecracker or the moody brilliant one or the one who turns up an hour late to meetings with an unexplained black eye. (Not all of those were me.) She was steady and reliable and, yeah, good. She was never a pushover - particularly not in the area of expense claims - but she'd bend over backwards to do you a favour if she could. She loved her family and her job and reminded everyone she knew just how rare it really is to meet someone normal.

I said all this at the memorial service. I'm not much on public speaking but Fleming asked. Sente spoke before me, about her career and her legacy. Her mother's brother spoke after me, about her family and home. I was blown away by the number of people at the service - everyone from a couple of Council members to the department's janitor. It occurred to me, as I listened to the speeches and the songs, that someone sitting on one of those chairs on the lawn must have known what happened to Anna and why.

It's all been a bit of a game up to now. Decrypt mysterious messages, follow disappearing delivery trucks, see if X marks the spot. But it's not a game. And if I needed that hammered into my head with red-hot nails well, spending today with Anna's sprogs has done the trick.

The girl who got me and Anna into all of this has promised we're going to have a talk. A real talk. Soon.
