The Road to Hell

Chapter 1

"Ms. Williams?" , the woman under the hood jumped at the unexpected voice, banging her head in an attempt to turn and face the questioner. Rubbing the back of her head and reaching into her pocket for the dirty rag to wipe off the grime on her hands she took in the two men in front of her. They fairly screamed cop and that was without seeing the side arms and badges on their hips.

'Just great'…'The shorter one is kinda cute'…'shut up'…'Well he is and you so totally agree'…'Ugh didn't we just get out of a problem like this'…'whats the problem with just looking'…'it doesn't stop with just looking'…

"Ms. Ester Williams?", again the question startled her, breaking the train of thoughts and she turned to the speaker, tall, dark, and Hispanic. He had an edge she decided she really didn't want get on the wrong side of.

Sigh," Just Will or Williams, please.", she stressed, "And yeah, what can I do for ya'll" she asked stepping away from the 67' Fastback she'd been checking, and out into the noonday Miami sun, squinting when they flashed their ID's.

"CSI Ryan Wolfe, and this is CSI Eric Delko", the shorter brunette said pointing at the Hispanic, "We have some questions about James Larson. We believe he was involved in an incident three days ago, however he claims he was meeting with you at your apartment that night. All night in fact."

Will looked at both men and thought very hard as memories she had been trying to forget and some she hoped forgotten came rushing to the front of her mind. Like it always did when the past tried to overtake her she felt the phantom pain in her right cheek and put her hand to it wincing without thinking. The to CSI's looked at each other and she mentally shook herself forcing the pain and the rising bile in her throat back down.

Clearing her throat she took a steadying breath and looked the shorter man, Wolfe in the eye.

"No, I'm sorry but that isn't true. I've been pulling the graveyard shift at my second job for the last two weeks straight." she explained while she walked across the dock to the short podium sitting against the wall. Pulling a pen and a sticky notepad from a drawer, " This is the address and the phone number as well as my supervisors name. I usually work till almost 7 in the morning. And I'm always on camera, it's a scrap yard close to the 'Glades." Will explained while she wrote, a small smile pulling at the corners of her mouth.

Handing over the yellow note she said matter'o factly "But of course I haven't seen Mr. Larson in years so I couldn't think why he would be lying to ya'll like that."

Delko, who had taken the offered stick note looked up and cocked his head to the side, Like wise Wolfe had confusion flitting across his face as well, "Really, he said you were his daughter, that you always had dinner together when he was in town?" Delko asked brow set low in a frown.

Looking at both men the smile she had been fighting finally flashed a full white straight teeth, almost feral grin against lightly tanned oil smudged olive skin, painfully stretching the scar along the right side of her face.

"That's just not possible, I don't have a father." and pulling out a business card from the front pocket of her overalls she wrote her cell on the back, while saying " If you have any other questions just call, I'm always happy to help the police." and with that she nodded and walked back over to the forgotten Mustang, thoughts already going back to what could possibly be making the Ping sound the driver had described as the still slightly confused CSI's got back into their Hummer and drove off.

Authors note: WOW okay that sucked and was really short but I do have a point and plot to this story that was totally just setting the tone..I think okay this is my first story ever so be nice and yes I know about all the grammatical errors so any reviews about those will be thanked and then totally ignored, other than that its kinda to soon to be reviewing but after the next chapter which will be longer I promise I'll expect them.

Thanks for reading see ya soon… Rose
