"It Smells Like Rain

Chapter 1: A New Destination

"The streets of New York looked busy, dirty, and gloomy as ever. The people where their normal grouchy and mean selves if not more than the average day. It could have been the fact that it was the young woman's birthday and seemed more on edge that day because her day was starting to look much worse than she wanted it to be.

As if on cue it started to pour big huge drops of water from the sky and she was soaked within seconds. She spotted the sleaze who had a few warrants for his arrest, Killian Jones, and she started to walk his way. He saw the blond with the hot sexy pink dress thought that woman would be more fun to take to his place and have some fun.

"The blond stopped a half arm's length away and she smiled flirtingly at him. "Hey Lass, would you like to go to my place and have some fun?" Killian asked while he stepped even closer to the blonde. "Nope, but I would like to take you to mine. Would you like to come?" The blond started to walk back the way she came knowing her trusty yellow bug would be waiting for her. "Aye", responded Killian quickly following after the blond that never looked back to check to see if he was following. He admire the woman's confidence she walked as if she knew he was right behind her.

"She stopped abruptly in front of the yellow bug and opened the passenger side. "Well aren't you the gentleman. You know that's for men to do." Killian eyed the blond with a bit of arousal in his eyes. "Yeah, well, I like to take an initiative, plus I can't do this from my side of the car." The blond said while pushing the man down to the passenger seat and grabbing his hands and cuffing them to the side of the door and closing it in one swift almost smooth movement. Would have been completely smooth if it wasn't for the fact that she hit his knee with the door as it closed.

"Cuffs. Already? Shouldn't you have waited till you had me in bed?" Killian gave her a lecherous smile. "Nah. I told you I like to take an initiative. Plus", the blonde half turned and smiled with a glimmer of mischief, "my friends will be joining us. You won't mind, right?" If Killian thought he won the lottery with the blond then he felt he hit the mega lottery after she asked him. "No, of course not the more the merrier." He laughed and smiled all the way that was until the blond parked in front of the police station.

"His smile started to falter and his eyes when from one side to the other tugging on the cuffs. "Lass, what are we doing here?" The blond turned and smiled at him, "Pit stop. Give me a sec. and I'll be back." She got up and left inside with a casual wave to the man.

"Hey Emma!" The officer typing away in the computer greeted the blond. "How's it going?

"Hey Neal. Pretty good. I got Killian Jones waiting for you guys in my car or do I have to bring him in after this?" The blond gestured to her soaking clothes and body.

"You what?! He's dangerous Emma!" Neal shot up and gestured to the cops behind him to follow him.

"Yeah. Yeah. Just get him and pay up." The blond laughed and followed them out to her bug.

"There in the car waited Killian looking for the blond and her friends when he saw three officers heading his way. He tried without success to set himself free from the cuffs but they wouldn't budge. "Don't you dare move Killian Jones? You are under arrest anything you say or do will be…" The officers read him his rights. Just as they had him removed from the passenger side and with his hands cuffed behind his back he spotted the blond. She had a knowing smirk to her face and he wanted to wipe it off. "You will pay for this lassie you won't get away like this."

"Save it. Pirate." The blond retorted while grabbing the envelope from Neal.

"Thanks Emma. Have a great of the week off." Neal waved the blond goodbye as they tugged Jones into the station and the blond heading back inside her cozy bug.

"Emma started her to drive toward her apartment in Boston but made a quick stoop to the cupcake bakery that was blocks away from her house to pick up her order. She grabbed her envelope and opened it to take some money to pay for it when she noticed a letter and a credit card. Curiosity got the best of her and she read the letter.

"Dear Miss Swan,

"I hope you find yourself well I contacted the station to ask for the best person in helping people and Mr. Cassidy gave me a high recommendation of you. I am the mayor of a small town called Storybrooke and even though it small it comes with great responsibilities. We need a new sheriff at our station and we need to occupy the position as rapidly as possible. Mr. Cassidy has given me your resume and if you are willing we would like for you to start as soon as you receive this letter. You may contact my office as my business card is there for you and the credit card is so you may be able to move from your home to here. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you very soon.

Sincerely,

Mayor Mills

Emma put the letter away and dialed the number as soon as she put her ear to the phone she started to bit her lip and tap her foot. She was so nervous and anxious 'was this really her chance had she finally got her chance of doing soothing she liked with stable income and hours?'

"Hello, Mayor Mills office."

"The blond couldn't believe it. It was true. So true.

"Hello?"

"S-sorry." The blond coughed to clear her throat. "Hi. My name is Emma Swan and I am calling about the sheriff's position."

"Okay let me transfer you to the mayor's line."

"There was an orchestra of classical music playing for a bit before she got connected.

"Good evening this is Mayor Mills speaking."

"Emma was stunned by the voice in the other end it made her feel like a puddle of mush inside.

"Hello is anyone there?"

"Yes. Sorry. I am calling about the sheriff position?" Emma felt excited and anxious all at once but to hell if she was going to let anyone see or hear that.

"Miss Swan how good to hear you. I am guessing you received my letter. So what will your answer be?"

"Yes. I can be there by tonight."

"Wonderful. May I ask for a favor? I know it is quite soon but… oh never mind."

"No, please. Tell me. If I can I'll do it. Promise." Emma knew she was in deep shit when she hear that voice but she didn't take to people easily but somehow this Mayor had her in a trance just with her voice.

"Well I really love the cupcakes they sell out there but it's pretty late and I doubt you can get there before closing."

"You are just in luck I am actually picking up an order. I'll see you in your town tomorrow morning mayor." Emma flirted with her now future boss and smiling like an idiot.

"See you tomorrow sheriff." The mayor laughed as she hung up the phone.
