New Greenlea Tale: The Grey Girls
louisev:
I am glad to see that there aren"t any complaints about my portraying the characters as too perfect!
hahah.
This is preying on my mind about now so don't be surprised if you see an update again quite soon! After a hectic 14 hour Friday things have settled back down at work and I am doing a lot less actual technical thinking so I might just be able to pull off some during-the-week updates! Stay tuned!!!

I think that half the reason Colson wants to run now, as apose to before, is because Laura has got the police involved in looking into him. Even though Ellery is a policeman the law still pretty much terrifies him doesn't it? The thought of his past/background being investigated must be scaring him beyond belief. I think he,s just about ready to run for the hills now. No Laura isn,t the cause of his root fear, your right, but she obviously knows just how to scare him, and it,s working. She,d like nothing better than to see them two split up. Come on Louise, just one teeny weeny little walk on part? I only wanna give her a black eye...........pleaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. *flutters eyelashes* ;) :laugh:

souxi, you're right that this time, Laura's actions (with no small amount of coaxing by the very unscrupulous Yavapai County police detective and prosecutor!) have caused Colson's fears to resurface. But there are always going to be people out there for him to fear. Laura isn't the cause of his root fear - that's something that is inside of him. In "A Small Circle of Friends" he learned that maybe he can't control his feelings of grief over Adam's death, but he can control how he deals with those feelings, how he acts upon them. And that's what he needs to learn with regards to his fear. A psychologist would have a field day trying to figure out why Colson didn't run away from Ellery after looking down the barrel of Worrell's gun, after being shot at, after being kidnapped, and after being harrassed by Bunny Ruskin - but wants to run now. Perhaps it's because when he unravels the entire ugly knot of what's happening to his family now - he sees himself at the beginning of it. Maybe what he really needs to do is find a way to forgive himself. Or maybe I'm just overthinking the whole thing. :laugh: I don't know. But he can't go on the way he has been. This can't be doing Ellery's blood pressure any good, and that doesn't seem to have occurred to him either. :-\

You raise some excellent points Marie. And I agree with you. It all comes back to the fact that Colson hasn't dealt with his past with Laura. Or his past with his daughters. He has asked Adam to forgive him and he should do the same with his family (or ex-family). And like you said, he ultimately needs to forgive himself. He can't change the past, or ignore it. :-\
