Challenge: Endings, New Beginnings and Starting Over

"There goes my Life" by Kenny Chesney

Character: Garcia


All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.
~ Ellen Glasgow


The knock was loud and startling for someone accustomed to only the sound of computer keys clicking.

Penelope Garcia started at the first series of knocks, paralyzed by the second and almost comatose by the third.

'Penelope Garcia, this is the FBI! Open up or we will be forced to break the door down.' A male voice full of authority called.

She lurched into action.

They came for her.

.

She was going to jail.

.

Maybe she could die there.

.

Maybe then, she could stop hurting so badly.

.

Opening the door she couldn't remember walking over to, Garcia moved out of the way of the officers on the other side.

~There goes my life~ she thought as the lackeys moved her computers out to the waiting van outside.

One senior agent sat across from her at the table, the other supervised the moving.


Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.
~ Bruce Barton


Sorry for the short length, but I wanted to get this out there. I plan to continue it, probably another two chapters.

However, I'm sick at the moment and in serious need of a pick-me-up. For those who have read my author's notes in my other stories know I had a serious break-up two months ago. This would've been my wedding day.

Please leave me a word or two in a review. Remember even a short comment will make my day; I'm easy to please that way.
