So I have definitely decided to continue with That Damn Hitchhiker. It will be an episode-that-never-happened sort of thing. Also, I am very very very very incredibly sorry for being so late. I know I promised a couple people that I would get this chapter out over 2 weeks ago, but I got bogged down with unexpected projects and the like. So anyway, I'm incredibly sorry, but here it finally is! Beware, I didn't have an editor other than myself this time around, so the quality might have gone down.
Thank you soooo much to everyone who rated, reviewed, pm-ed, or just read this story. It really encouraged me to keep going :)
Remember, this means emphasis or inner thoughts. Enjoy!
Mrs. Wei and...the FBI?
The heavy wooden door slammed with a shudder into the door frame. A petite Asian woman leaned against the door with a long heavy sigh. Really, can't they just leave me alone already? she thought to herself. I've had enough of all these silly pranks. I mean, isn't it bad enough that I have to drive past...that spot every day? A tear slowly trickled down her creased cheeks towards a sharp chin. Frustrated, she hastily wiped it away before turning back around to see the two agents with their heads together, arguing profusely. They quickly pulled away when they saw her scowl, though admittedly it wasn't as bad as the one used on the poor man unfortunate enough to offend this terrifying woman.
"Now, gentlemen, where were we?" They glanced at each other, then back at the old woman. The shorter of the two cleared his throat.
"Well Mrs. Wei, I believe you were just beginning to tell us about your daughter.", he tried with a smile. She scowled again.
"No I most certainly was not," she stated. "I believe you were just introducing yourselves. So please, agents, refresh my memory. What exactly where your names?" The agents glanced at each other again. This time, the taller one spoke.
"Well ma'am, I'm Special Agent Hamill* and this is my partner, Special Agent Ford*. We're here from the FBI to investigate a series of deaths in the area. It seems to have some similarities to the case involving your daughter so-"
"I want to see your badges." Mrs. Wei stated bluntly. "Sorry, but you boys just don't look like Agents to me." Yet another quick glance towards each other as Agent Hamill and Agent Ford reach into their inside pockets. They pulled out and flipped open 2 nearly identical, perfect badges reading Agent George Hamill and Agent Jason Ford. Mrs. Wei reached up sharply and snatched them right out of their hands, pulling them close to her face and inspecting them sharply. Hmmm...I'm not exactly a professional but these look fine...I don't like the look of those boys though.
Mrs. Wei slowly reached forward to hand the badges back to the 2 Agents. They cautiously reached forward to take them and slipped them back in their pockets. She waved for them to take a seat on the couch and sat down with a huff into her own chair. As the shorter agent - Agent Jason Ford - shifted forward in his seat, Mrs. Wei leaned back in her chair. I might as well get comfortable, she thought. This is going to take a while.
"So, ma'am, we are very sorry to be disturbing you but we really need this information." Ford said with a forced smile. "It could prove to be very valuable to our investigation, so you wanna cut the crap and tell us what happened to your daughter?" he finished with a smirk.
"Young man, I don't know who you have been dealing with before now but now you are dealing with me." Mrs. Wei stood up abruptly, managing to stare down at only one of the 2 Agents with fists planted firmly on her hips.
"I will not be spoken to that way, and since it appears you need my information you will listen to me, not the other way around." Her glare shifted back and forth between Ford and Hamill, and both managed to look sufficiently worried.
"Now that we have that out of the way, I will tell you boys a story. You will sit still, listen carefully, and a not let another word come out of your stuck -up little traps." Mrs. Wei sat down comfortably on her chair, looked back at the Agents' shocked expressions, and began.
"No of course I've noticed that these killings are similar to what happened to my Li Na**. But that was over 16 years ago, I don't see what it could possibly have to do with what's happening now."
"Mrs. Wei, it could have a lot to do with what happened to Li Na. there a lot of mirrored situations in all the cases-" Agent Hamill's words died on his lips at the sight of that woman's glare.
"Ah, sorry..."
" Just let me finish, there will be time for questions after. Now, 16 years ago...Li Na had just finished her final exam at the end of her Senior year and she went out with some friends to celebrate. She was eighteen already so I didn't have a problem with her being out a bit late and so I wasn't worried that she didn't get home before I went to sleep. She had been out later before and was very responsible about it, so I just went to bed. The next morning I got up and started to make breakfast, and that's when I noticed. Li Na always woke up as soon as I started frying anything so when she never appeared I went to check on her. She wasn't in her room. Of course, I called the police immediately and she was found fairly quickly. Kingsley isn't exactly a big town and there are only a few places where the kids like to hang out. The police found her in her car on the side of Creek Way, near the water. Only a 10 minute drive from our house!" Mrs. Wei paused, momentarily lost in thought. Suddenly shaking her head, she continued on and the 2 Agents listened in rapt attention.
"Her car had slammed into a tree and she died right on impact. She didn't even have a chance. Or at least, that's the official story. Those idiotic bastards at the police department tried to tell me it was drunk driving, but I know better. When my daughter was found she was half naked, her seatbelt was undone, and there were finger nail scrapes on her shoulders. The passenger door was flung wide open and there was saliva on her face! Li Na was not drunk driving, she was sexually assaulted - she just wasn't important enough for the police to give her the time of day. So it's about time somebody finally got to the bottom of this and caught the bastard who did this to her!" Mrs. Wei finished with an angry huff and sat back down. She wasn't fast enough, however, to hide the single tear that trickled down her cheek.
"Well?" she asked, "Is that enough painful memories for the both of you, or do you want to ask questions and dreg up some more?" She looked back at Ford and Hamill, daring them to ask. Hamill leaned forward cautiously.
"Mrs. Wei, do you remember what bar Li Na and her friends had gone two that night?"
"Of course, it was the Hide Away Bar and Grill*** in town. It's still the only place the kids go to have some fun in this town."
" Thank you, and one last question. Do any of the friends who were with Li Na that night still live in Kingsley?" Mrs. Wei blinked in surprise.
"Why yes, one still does. Emily Dale lives with her husband on the other side of town, but she doesn't know anything. All Li Na's friends where questioned after the accident but they were just as useless as the police who questioned them." Agent Ford sighed and rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands.
"Awesome." Both agents stood up and headed towards the door. Agent Hamill turned back to look at Mrs. Wei.
"Thank you for your time, Mrs. Wei, you've been a great help. We'll let you know if anything else comes up." Mrs. Wei just looked back at him.
"You just find out what happened to my daughter, boy, or you'll have me to answer to." The agent just smiled and nodded.
"You've got it ma'am."
Both agents turned and left, shutting the heavy door behind them. Of course, they missed Mrs. Wei's quiet whisper:
"Thank you..."
*Agent Hamill and Agent Ford were actual aliases used by Sam and Dean really early on in the show. The first names are of my own invention, though.
**The name Li Na Wei is not related to any real Li Na Wei's out there (there happens to be a professor at the university of Michigan and a competitive tennis player both named Li Na Wei, just to name a few). "Li Na" means elegance and I thought it sounded pretty. It's a popular Chinese girl's name.
***The Hide Away Bar and Grill is a real bar in Kingsley, Michigan and that's where I got the name. I don't mean for it to be the same bar, I just wanted it to be a semi-authentic name.
I'll have the next chapter out at the end of the month. I leave for summer break on the 21st of June, so I'll have it out soon after. Until then, I will be studying for Finals and my mind will be filled with Spanish conjugations and the stages of Meiosis instead of thought's of Supernatural.
Please read, rate, review, and share with your friends! It means a lot ;)
