Thread: Golden Shields ( Katy1008 & CrimsonMaster )

Jenny Wilson was a young and very pretty girl who was just trying to earn a living. Perhaps Jenny was born in or around LA. Perhaps she was drawn here by the illusion of finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. All she and those girls who were the independent prostitutes wanted was to make some money without getting busted up. Freedom was the main reason why these girls worked without a pimp. Pimps did take cake of their girls, but many times those girls paid with a fat lip or a black eye when something went wrong. There were cases where the pimps put their girls in the hospital and still others died at the hands of the man who was protecting them. Money was another big issue when it came to pimps. Most pimps took a huge cut from what their girls made while the independent girls kept everything that they made. Tom gave Jenny a few moments before he asked her to tell them everything that happened between the last time she saw Sheryl and the time that her body was found. Jenny took a long drag from her cigarette then started to speak. She began by saying that Sheryl and herself were working 2 blocks down the street not far from the adult bookstore which was around the corner. Jenny said that it was around 1045 pm when a red Mustang pulled up. She walked over to and started talking with the man inside. They were talking over prices for services when a newer model black SUV pulled up in front of the red Mustang. Jenny had looked over as Sheryl walked over then she started talking with whoever was inside. Jenny went back talking with the man in the Mustang when she saw Sheryl move to get into the SUV. Jenny said that she couldn't see who was driving the SUV, but they did have what looked like a black cowboy hat on. She said that the SUV drove down the street then turned right onto the same street that Sheryl's body had been found on. Jenny and the man in the Mustang couldn't agree on a price so he split leaving her alone. Jenny said that normally Sheryl isn't gone very long, she spends about 15 to 20 minutes with a costumer then she would return. So Jenny waited and waited, but Sheryl didn't return. Jenny said that she started walking around but didn't see the black SUV or Sheryl. Jenny had been picked up a few times that night by men, but always returned to that spot hopping that Sheryl would be there. After Jenny had been dropped off by one man she noticed a small group of people standing on the corner looking down the street where Sheryl's body was found. Jenny walked up and asked what was going on, but nobody knew what was happening. It wasn't until an officer started walking around asking questions about Sheryl that Jenny said that she knew her. The officer then took Jenny down to the very bench which she was still sitting on. Jenny looked up, her eyes locked on the empty lot where Sheryl's body was found. Her body was shaking when she asked why anyone would want to hurt Sheryl? The empty lot which Jenny was staring at was once an apartment building which caught fire a few years back. It was gutted then last year the city tore down what was left leaving the lot behind. A bum was walking through the alley which ran beside the empty lot when he noticed something odd looking behind one of the buildings. He moved into the lot then stumbled acrossed Sheryl's body wrapped in plastic. The man ran for a few blocks before he found a patrol car then brought the police here. Tom was taking notes while Jenny was speaking. He could understand how hard all of this was for her. Once Jenny had stopped talking, Tom asked if she could remember anything more about the black SUV? Jenny thought for a moment then started to shake her head no when something did come to her mind, but she knew that it wouldn't be much. Jenny said that there were no stickers on the back. but the license plate was odd. She couldn't remember all of the plate, but there was a dash followed by the letter D and the number 1. Tom wrote down in his notes - D1. It certainly wasn't much to go on, but it was a start and Tom had solved other cases with less info.
