I will be seeing all of you tonight. Gotta go get ready for work. When I come home and change & go to church to give my 10 min talk on, of all things; modesty.(Lian could never give this one). I then will come home and put the final on the chapter and get it off to you guys. Just keep me a cold Dr Pepper and I will bring some from the store to put in the larder (is that the right word?) we call it the pantry.

Guys I just got home. It is almost 9pm. I had to work 2 hours extra today and then go straight to church. I then had a flat tire and had to get the boy scouts that were there to change the tire. Stopped to pick up a burger and the place took 30 min to fix it. I think I will get that chapter finished first thing in the morning. I do have my off day tomorrow. I am sorry about this delay but as you can see my day has not been normal. I am toasted like a marshmellow at a camp fire.

I am up at 330 am an just letting you know I am about to wake up that silly muse and see about finishing the chapter so that maybe I can get a second one out this evening.
Stay tuned. Thanks for the patient waiting.
Lian, I just meant that modesty isn't your best subject on this board.
But then it isn't mine here either.(lol)

Guess what I have for you guys? It only took me 20 minutes to finish. Get the cake and coffee or whatever you are wanting to invibe and enjoy.
Chapter TWO
The fireman had left Ellen alone in the office and as he left he told her that the officer in charge of the investigation would be in to see her. He also let her know that the fire department wasn’t going to leave until they were sure that the area was secured outside. She sat there for a few minutes and then got up and walked to the front of the dinner. She didn’t go into the kitchen as she knew that her friend and boss George was in there. She didn’t want to see his dead body. What she did see was the fireman named Mike shaking hands with a red headed man and then leaving the diner.
She squared her shoulders and holding her head high she walked the length of the diner to stand in front of this man with the penetrating blue eyes. She cleared her throat as she came to stand in front of him. Her small frame of 5’ 4” in bare feet came just up to his shoulders. “My name is Ellen Jackson and you must be the one that is in charge.”
He gave a tight lipped smile down at her and replied. “Yes, Ma’am. My name is Horatio Caine and you are correct that I will be the one in charge of the crime scene. My people are on their way.”
As if on cue another hummer, a small yellow jeep and the ME wagon pulled up and a man and woman got out of the hummer, a very petit blond got out of the jeep and a tall black woman got out of the ME wagon. Each person had a silver case with them. Two of the women had cameras.
She heard the two women with cameras exchange pleasantries.
“You just get out the shower Calleigh?”
“The call caught me before I had time to dry my hair. But we all know that duty comes before beauty. How come you’re riding with Eric? Long night:”
“My car is in the shop for a few days and Eric has been picking me up for work.”
The one called Horatio Caine cleared his throat and gave the order to start processing the crime scene. He then turned back to Ellen and it was then he noticed that she didn’t have any shoes on and was standing in the broken glass of the front door. “Ms. Jackson, please don’t move. You may cut yourself.”
Ellen looked down at the floor and took a sharp intake of breath. She wondered how she had been able to walk to that spot with out cutting her feet to shreds.
“Here let me help you.” He said and she looked into his face and knew that whatever else happened that day that this man would not let any harm come to her. He then merely picked up her 120 lb body in a fluid motion and carried her to a near by booth at the opposite end of the diner. As he sat her down he looked over his shoulder at where she had been standing and gave a low whistle. Turning back to Ellen, “You would probably make a good fire walker. Walking across that much broken glass without cutting yourself is a very good feat.” He then turned back to her and took a seat in the opposite side of the booth that she had sat down in.
He leaned on the table and clasped his hands in front of himself; his index fingers seemed to be pointing at her the way he held his hands together. He tilted his head to one side and asked some questions about where she was when everything started. What see saw when see came out of her hiding place. After he finished asking questions he then ask her to give him a complete account of what had happened. She began at the beginning when she first heard the breaking glass until she came out of the back and saw him standing in the door.
As she finished the nice looking black woman walked up to Lt. Caine and spoke. “H, I need to get the body . . .” she paused and looked at Ellen. “I am sorry dear. I need to take your friend back to the morgue to get a full work up.” She turned back to Horatio. “I will have everything you need with in the hour.” As she turned to leave she noticed that Ellen hadn’t gotten threw the glass with out a cut. “Dear I need to look at the bottom of those feet you seem to have sprung a leak.”
She then put her black bag down and knelt down beside Ellen. “My name is Dr. Alexx Woods and if you’ll give me just a minute I will have that cut fixed.” She had a pair of teasers in her hand and Ellen’s foot held firmly in her other. She pulled out a shard of glass and taking a small envelope placed the glass shard in it. She then took a gauze pad and some antiseptic out and cleaned the area. After she finished she put a bandage on the foot. She then looked up at Ellen and told her that she should go home and put her foot up.
Ellen smiled at this nice lady and made the commit. “That would be nice, but I have to walk over and pick up my daughter at the all night sitters and get her home and in her own bed before I can begin to think of putting my feet up. Then it will only be a few hours before my whole household is awake and I will have to get up to fix breakfast for everyone.”
Alexx looked at her for a moment. “You tell them that the Dr.” she pointed at herself. “Has given you orders,” she pointed at Ellen. “They will have to make do with a bowl of cold cereal and a piece of fruit.” She then smiled and standing up she turned her attention to Lt. Caine. “You make sure she gets home safely H, don’t let her walk on that foot.”
Horatio smiled and nodding his head replied to her. “Yes, Dr. Woods. I will make sure that she gets home with as little walking as possible.”
This seemed to satisfy Alexx and she left. Horatio stood up and telling Ellen to stay put while he talked with his team he would be right back to take her to pick up her child and then home. As he started to leave he stopped and turned around and put Ellen’s foot up on the bench that he had been sitting in. Smiling at her he said. “Dr.’s orders.”
