Jason watched Kellie walk into Jake's. He took off.
Inside, Kellie approached Coleman. "Got any rooms?" she said.
"For a pretty lady like you, you can share mine," Coleman said, "I can keep an eye on you make sure no one bothers you.
"This pretty lady ain't got time for games," Kellie said, "As for protection, I don't think that's problem" She moved her jacket, flashing her gun.
"Apparently, the boys haven't made a good impression on you," Coleman said, "I could change that."
"Let's just say some boys don't know when to quit," Kellie said, "Now I've had a long night. I want a room and a beer."
"I like a girl who knows what she wants," Coleman said. Kellie inched her hand closer to her gun. "Alright, here's the key and what kind of beer? Now what's got you all up into a twist tonight?"
"Miller" Kellie said, "Some guy tried to mug me on the docks. Long story, but I ended up getting arrested for failure to report a crime. Blowhard DA heard some guy, Morgan, attacked me."
"Never thought Morgan was that kind of guy," Coleman said.
"He's not, he came to help," Kellie said.
"You certainly do get around," Coleman said, "There's the matter of payment."
Kellie pulled out cash, "Here's the deposit. As for rent, I'd be willing to do some bartending to go towards paying it. After all, a pretty lady like me attracts the guys."
"You got a deal," Coleman said, handing Kellie a key.
At the Greystone
Jason walked into Sonny's.
"We need to find everything we can on this girl," Jason said.
"What happened at the station?" Sonny said.
"Durant tried to arrest the girl for failure to report a crime," Jason, "the attacker was the witness who reported it who by the way is now dead."
"Durant tried to pin that one on us too?" Sonny said.
Jason nodded, "well, between Kellie talking circles around Durant and Justus's legal expertise, we're off the hook."
"Kellie?" Sonny asked.
"Kellie Riley, the girl," Jason said, "brown hair, blue eyes, early-mid 20s."
"What about Ethan?" Sonny said.
"After we left the station, I tried to find out who she was and why she was here," Jason said, "She insists what happened tonight has nothing to do with us."
"We can't take that chance," Sonny said.
"I know. I called Justus on the way over. He's trying to see what he can find out on his end," Jason said, "As for Ethan, we have to learn what we can about Kellie to find out about him."
"I'll get our guys on it," Sonny said. "You keep tabs on Kellie."
Justus came in the room, "I've found everything I can on Kellie Riley."
"That was fast, considering you had a date with Lainey" Jason said.
"Well, Everything I can find goes only goes back 5 years," Justus said, "The trail stops cold." He handed Jason a file. Jason looked through it.
"FBI?" Sonny asked.
"She's traveled too much across the country in the last five years to be FBI, she' not in any place long enough to accomplish something like that," Jason said, handing the file to Sonny, "Even if she was, she wouldn't be here for us."
"That leaves mob connections," Sonny said.
"Look further back in the file," Justus says, "Couple years ago in California, some guy was stalking her and attempted to rape her. A police report was filed. She took off. The perps name was Ethan Esoterra."
"She's running from him then," Jason said, "Could you find anything on this Ethan?"
"I've got some contacts doing some digging," Justus said, "I'll let you know what I find."
"Thanks Justus," said Sonny. Justus left.
"We need to find out who she was five years ago. I'm pretty sure Kellie Riley is an alias." Sonny said, "We also need to find out where she's staying and check things out when she's not around."
"I followed her Jake's earlier," Jason said, "She could be staying there. I'll get our guys on digging into Kellie's past."
