Cold Hands and a Warm Heart
They pulled into the town of Twin Forks, Jane drove slowly past the Sheriff's office and stopped. She rolled down the window to ask a passerby if the Sheriff was in his office. "Yeah, Charlie should be in" said the Native man in the wheel chair, "but it's lunch time, you might come back in half an hour." Jane not realizing the man she spoke to was the father of the young man who saw Edward Cullen murdered by Thor. "Yes, we'll come back later, thank you", she told him. "Let's find a hotel," she said to Thor. "Very well", he said to her. They had spoken few words to each other since he told her the truth of what happened on that fateful day. When they got to their hotel room he finally reached for her. "You must think me a beast, Jane," he said with remorse, his face contorted. "I tell you what we know of these creatures is that they are monsters, cold blooded and mean, when one is bitten, they can and will go on infecting others with this evil."
Jane sat down on the bed and looked up at Thor, she patted the seat beside her. "I know in my heart that you felt that you were acting on Asguardian law. But, tell me Thor, according to your legends I have read isn't this more Loki's department, than yours? Isn't he supposed to have been the God of the Underworld, or something like it? I know it sounds strange, if they were to bow down, shouldn't it have been to Loki?" After hearing this Thor stood up, and stormed out of their hotel room. I always say something to piss him off, Jane thought to herself. Just then she received a knock on her door. As she answered to the door, she looked out her window to see who it was. She saw a dark headed man with a mustache, possibly the Sheriff? She peered through the peephole. Then opened the door a little.
He introduced himself, "Maam, I understand you have been looking for me, I am the Sheriff, name's Charlie Swan. How may I be of assistance?" There was something about him when she met him, woman's intuition perhaps, she felt that somehow he was a part of this equation. "Yes, my name is Jane Foster, a friend and I have come to pay respects to the Cullen family on the death of a family member" He quickly said, "thank you, maam, he was my daughter's husband." Charlie automatically became suspicious, he knew of her and the destruction of the little town in New Mexico. He wondered what she and Thor were doing here. The minute that she drove away, Billy Black came to the diner where he was having his lunch and told him. It was a known fact that Thor was bringing Loki here from the "galaxy, far, far, away." The real question was how did she and Thor know the Cullens? How were they related, for Bella's sake he wanted to know what happened to Edward. "We thank you for your kind thoughts and remembrance, it was a closed casket funeral. He was loved by many, how well did you know him?" Jane had to think fast, knowing it was a long shot, she said, "Thor doesn't know him, I do." She had to think fast if she was going to get past someone who was used to catching people in lies for a living. "I came to their wedding, with a girlfriend of mine, she kept complaining and saying it would be hot, since it would be in August." Charlie realizing there were a lot of people there, and Jane wasn't exactly notorious at the time. Charlie looked at her and smiled, "the 11th of August, it wasn't exactly a heatwave here." Jane, cunningly replied, "hmm, I could have sworn our invitation said it was the 13th . I was student of Dr. Cullen's." Jane wasn't exactly telling a lie, while still an intern, a medical student, under Dr. Carlisle Cullen he trained Jane on procedures in the outpatient clinic. She remembered seeing a very handsome young man working there as well. Her recollection shot through her like a stab wound. She felt nauseated, "well, Sheriff, Thor and I will stop by later on if we have any other questions, thank you for stopping by." Charlie studied her and said "my pleasure maam."
