Memories

Detective Chief Inspector Robin Branaugh was sitting in office rubbing his forehead. He was forty-three years old and had been a police man for two decades.

He may now live in Edinburgh but he originally came from the small village of Stokely in Wales. It was years ago now but he still remembered his old village. But something had happened, something he couldn't quite remember that had caused him, his little sister, two older twin brothers, mum and dad to move all the way to Scotland. His father had abandoned his job in Wales and set up as a private plumber in Edinburgh. They'd been friends with a family he knew. He knew he spent a lot of time with them but for the life of him he couldn't remember who they were and whenever he tried to remember them his mind would go foggy.

Robin who always loved blood and gore and had a secret love of vampires even if there were no such thing as vampires! He decided that he would become a detective and solve the most gruesome cases. He had to work hard as a teenager to get his fitness and grades up to scratch but he got in at the age of nineteen. He soon found out that blood and gore weren't as cool as he had thought they were. But he still wanted to be a police officer and help catch the bad guys. He was very good at this it was almost as if he had practice at stopping murders before hand.

That of course was ridiculous but how come there seemed to be a barrier in his mind.

Robin was unmarried having only ever fallen for the wrong girl. Most of them he ended up discovering where criminals. The others had either divorced him for being married to his work or simply being a bit of an idiot. He spent his nights off the job at Coyle's Bar. He would visit his parents in the old people's ward from time to time. Both of them seemed to have some strange repetion throughout their sickness.

'Vampires do not exist. Vampires do not exist!' they would repeat over and over again.

Chloe who was now a doctor - though not their doctor - just couldn't understand it. It was almost like conditioning she had told him. But who could have conditioned them? Robin had asked. For which Chloe had no answer. Ian and Paul had found twin girlfriends Laura and Rachel. Ian and Laura had moved up North where Laura had took over the family farm. Paul was a rugby player and Rachel was a junior doctor under Chloe. But Robin always felt like something was missing.
