A/N: This is a story that I have been working on with my OC, Sara, and Danny as a pairing. I started writing this at the beginning of the year, and I am still working on this. Comments and critique is awesome, and feeds my polt horsies. (Yes, an Ohioan has a plot horsie!) Well here you all are!
Chapter 1
I had just moved into downtown New York City with the intention of just living a normal life, yet that was not the case.
I had come home from a long day at work, which was being a dancer on Broadway. I walked right into a robbery in progress. The two men who were there were fiddling through my jewelry drawer. They were looking for a necklace that my mom had given me. When I had walked in, they turned to see that very necklace on my neck and ran for me. Shots were fired and I was struck in my right side. I fell and they ran without what they came for.
----------
I had awoken a few hours later in the hospital. Of course, that was not how I intended my night to end up. I just wanted to go home and crawl into bed after a long shower. I pressed the button for the nurse to come. She came rather fast with two other men behind her. I asked the nurse what had happened to me.
“You were robbed and shot. You were in surgery to get the bullet out of your ribs on the right side. You were one lucky girl. You had turned to run, according to police. If you hadn’t turned like you did, you would have been dead.”
I just slapped my head with my left hand. This is the way to get to know people after only a week in New York Sara. Getting shot, yeah that is a nice way to get to know people. I scooted up on the bed to see who the men behind her were. They came in to the room and shut the door.
“If you came to rob me, I had my sister take that necklace to the safe deposit box at the bank in Florida.”
The men looked at each other. They then turned back to me.
“We didn’t come to rob you ma’am. I’m Danny Messer and this is Detective Don Flack from the New York police and crime lab. We are here to help you out.”
I just took another heavy sigh.
“I am so sorry. I have only been in New York for a week and already I am getting robbed. This is one way to spend your time in New York.”
Danny pulled up a stool. I knew he was only trying to make me feel a bit better than what I was.
“I could think of nicer ways to spend time in the city than here in the hospital.”
I just looked over at him.
“I’m a dancer on Broadway. I am in the current production of Cats, so this is the last place I want to be.”
“Ahem, pardon me boy and girl, but I have a case to solve. I can’t do it with you two sitting here making casual conversation.”
Detective Flack was right. I knew he was getting a bit impatient, so I just turned to him.
“I’ll give you what you need.”
“OK, what is your full name first of all? No one at the front gave it to us.”
“Sara Tomlinson.”
“All right, Miss Tomlinson, were you coming home when you saw your attackers?”
“I had just got home from a show. I heard ruffling in my apartment, but thought it was my cat, Fran, so I thought nothing of it. I unlocked the door and saw them. They were in my bedroom and they were shuffling through my drawers in my jewelry boxes. They wanted my mom’s necklace.”
“Necklace, the one you had mentioned?”
“Yes, it was my best friend's necklace.”
“Why didn’t they take anything else?”
“That is what I have been asking. I have diamonds and amethysts sitting in those boxes. They had to be after that one because it had turquoise. They were Hispanic, and turquoise is a rarity in Cuba and Mexico, so they might have been after it for that.”
“They may have been after it cause it is worth over half a million dollars.”
My sister Andréa was at the door. She came in and sat down across the room.
“That is my sister Andréa. I had her send it down to Miami and place it in her safe deposit box.”
Danny looked over at her and then back at me. He had to do a quick double take.
“Your twins aren’t you?”
“Yeah we are. She is the younger one by eight minutes. I am the older one and we are all each other have, so that is my next of kin.”
Flack had motioned for Danny to head out of the room.
“Thank you Miss Tomlinson, we will be contacting you if there is anything else we need.”
“Not a problem, I gave the number to the hospital, so get it from the front desk and tell them they will have to answer to me if they do not give you any information.”
Danny got up and then pulled out his wallet. He got a small card and then wrote on the back of it with a pen that was on my table at my side.
“If you need anything, call me, my home number is on the back of this card. My work number is on the front as well as my cell phone number.”
I just smiled and said thanks. I then went back to sleep for a little bit.
