Where the Sun Sets
Chapter 13
Josephine grabbed her keys off of the kitchen counter and headed out the foyer
door on her way to the garage. Thinking perhaps it may be a long morning, she
decided to grab a cup of coffee to take with her. Turning back to the kitchen she
jumped at the sight of an officer standing behind her.
"Sorry ma`am, didn't mean to frighten you. Lieutenant Barsky would like for you
to come down to the station and answer a few questions."
"Sure, yeah, whatever. Tell him I'll be there." She walked around the officer
towards the kitchen. The officer followed her.
"Ma`am, the Lieutenant, she would like you to come in this morning. Will that be
all right?"
Josephine glanced at her watch. She wanted to see Anthony. She wanted to be
there when she woke up. She wanted her to know that everything would be alright.
Dammit, she cancelled all appointments so she could do just that. "Fine, tell her.
Tell her I will be in directly, okay? Will that be soon enough?"
"I will notify her now ma`am, thank you."
"Shit." Josephine said to the air in her kitchen, as she poured herself a travel
mug full of coffee.
The garage held four cars comfortably. It presently housed both Josephine's
silver two door convertible 2000 Mercedes Benz and Antonia's metallic sky blue 2001
Mini Cooper. The latter was a birthday present from Josephine to Antonia. Also in
the garage, a 1980 Harley Davidson FLH, motor and trans powder coated pearl, as were
the frame and tanks. The seat was a Corbin custom, done in the softest leather
possible, pale blue in color with matching accents. It was Antonia's pride and joy.
Josephine hated the bike, which was a major reason behind the purchase of the Cooper.
Chloe's 1998 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser was parked in the far drive. It was the
one vehicle which moved on a daily basis. Billy never parked in the garage. He opted
to leave his car in the driveway.
Josephine turned on the car stereo before exiting the garage in the hopes of
drowning out whatever reporters happened to remain. As she backed out of the drive,
her car was flanked by police vehicles from the front and back. The officer, who met
her in her hallway, came over to explain that they would escort her to the station.
One officer would remain on duty outside her dwelling for the remainder of the day.
