Boredom...
If Jillian could use one word to describe her time in Forks that would be it. Shed been in the town for a couple months now and only recently did she begin to work on her own. Sadly the town was really slow and there wasn't much activity like she had hoped there might be. Besides patrolling the roads and handing out tickets she had done little. Meanwhile she kept hearing of increasing violence in Seattle and the surrounding area. Today she was prowling the downtown area, just walking around making her presence obvious. Her car parked just around the corner.
In boredom her thoughts returned to that night in Seattle... That creature she had encountered and the other man who had saved her. She had said nothing about it to everyone else... For one thing it sounded insane, and for another it was one of the few times she actually was sort of scared. That night she knew she had come within inches of dying and while she had acted stubborn and defiant during the actual ordeal later that night the truth of it all really hit her. Maybe it was that that had been her first time really facing down death, or maybe it was something else but Jill resolved to never let it happen again.
A few hours passed and aside from giving a warning to a group of teens things had been uneventful. With a sigh she returned to her patrol car to head back to the station then home.
