Chapter 2: Lucy
The rising sun sent pastel rays shining through the California sky. Lucy Camden had never meant to stay at Kevin's so late. Her fiancé used to live in the apartment above her parents' garage, an arrangement that Lucy certainly preferred to driving home at the crack of dawn.
But she knew she had no one to blame for Kevin's move but herself. She had been so jealous about his female partner on the Glen Oak police force, that she had nearly driven him to distraction with her incessant complaints. Finally, Kevin decided to transfer to another police department to appease his bride-to-be. He would do anything for Lucy, and she knew it.
"5:57 AM, I'm toast", she muttered as she glanced the clock on her dashboard.
Kevin's apartment is not too incredibly far from her house but so many stops, so many traffic lights. She never had liked driving in Los Angeles, but at this hour it wasn't nearly the ordeal it could be. She cursed herself again. Her dissatisfaction with Roxanne, Kevin's former partner, had driven him from the relative-safeness of the Glen Oak PD to the unpredictability of the big city. Her soon-to-be husband was Officer Kevin Kinkirk of the West Hollywood police department.
Lucy always wanted to be a star. A sigh escaped her lips as she stared up at the Hollywood sign, high atop Mount Lee. That's why she hated the drive so much. The light at the intersection of Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Avenue took so long to change and gave her plenty of time to look around. To remind her of what might have been hers if she hadn't chosen to follow her father into the ministry.
It was of little matter to her, though. In her opinion, she had neither the good looks nor the patience to try her hand in Tinseltown. Mom was the patient one, her oldest brother Matt was the beautiful Camden kid, and youngest sister Ruthie is the witty one. It was funny to her that the sibling she found herself to be the most similar to was her brother Simon.
She didn't know much about the kid, and lately it seemed to be by no coincidence.
Simon was a loner, perhaps even a little strange.
"Maybe he just likes his privacy", she thought.
The light flickers from red to green, and the car continues home.
