"Do you have a license plate, phone number, anything?"

Romero stared, his expression irritated. Norma's shoulders slumped.

"Do you?" Romero sighed. "Night, Norma".

He turned to leave, Norma watching his SUV slowly drive away.

Norma was exhausted and irritated at her lack of evidence against Jake Abernathy, if that was even his real name. And she didn't want to look like a fool in front of Romero, even though she knew for sure it was Abernathy who left the flowers and threatening "see you soon" card.

"I hate this town." Norma muttered as she climbed the stairs. She was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The sun shone through the long curtains, slowly waking her up.

Norma slowly crawled out of bed, changing into her favourite pair of jeans and chequered blouse. Nibbling on a piece of toast, she sighed as the cool spring air reddened her cheeks as she walked down the long steps to her car, listening to the clicking of her boots.

Norman needed new clothes for school and so she planned on going into town. Hopefully she would avoid any further dramas even just for a day.

Norma carried her shopping along the street before a fast flying object flew past her head.

"Shit!" She exclaimed, before realising it was a bird.

"Pull yourself together, Norma", she scolded herself.

She needed to figure out the whole Abernathy thing. How dare some old freak in creepy glasses come into her home and her motel and make her feel threatened. Her heartbeat quickened. If no one would help her in this godforsaken town than she would deal with this guy herself.

Simple. She'd just find Abernathy and have a good old screaming match and tell him to screw off. She could be an intimidating woman if she tried, and this Abernathy deserved to know who he shouldn't be messing with. She would find him tonight and end this paranoia.

Norma turned the shop corner quickly, colliding with someone and gasping in shock. Strong hands gripped her elbows, stopping her from falling backwards.

"Geez, Alex! What are you doing half scaring people to death?"

Alex Romero's soft eyes looked amused.

"Oh, you mean just walking in the street like a normal person?" His dark eyes stared as a subtle smirk crept on his smile.

"Yeah, sorry. Just got a lot going on now." Norma looked down, hiding her fear from his analysing eyes.

Alex sighed.

"Look, Norma. I wouldn't be worried about this Abernathy guy. I'm taking care of it." He looked to her face with sincerity.

Her heart beat raced as anger radiated through her blood. So now he was suddenly 'taking care of it' but yesterday he had to get all sarcastic and barely believed her about the threatening flowers?

Norma stepped back, anger spreading though her expression. Alex face turned confused as her piercing blue eyes glared.

"Well, don't take care of it. I don't need you, I don't need anyone. I can deal with this asshole myself." Norma glowered.

Romero's eyes narrowed suspiciously.

Norma continued her speech.

"In fact, I'm going to deal with him tonight. I'm a strong, independent woman and no one gets to threaten me and get away with it and if you won't do anything, Sheriff, than I will find him myself."

Norma turned quickly, preparing to storm off when his strong hand yanked her back to face him.

" Norma, have you lost your mind?! What do you mean you're going to find him?" Romero boomed, his voice grave.

Norma struggled against his grip.

"Alex, let go of-"

"Norma, promise me you won't do something stupid and get yourself killed. These kind of people are bad news and I don't want you involved. I said I'd handle it." He slowly released her arm as he felt her anger slightly subside.

Norma sighed, accepting defeat. She forced the courage to look into his intimidating eyes.

"Okay, okay. Fine. I won't find him. You win." Norma sighed and smiled apologetically before turning to walk back to her car. Gosh that Romero could be bossy. For now, she would let him handle it, but if one more thing happened, she would take matters into her own hands.

Norman and Dylan were out which left Norma alone for the night so she decided to spend her time finishing paperwork off in the motel.

She was vaguely aware of a car pulling up in the background as she filled out her orders when suddenly there was a loud noise as an object hit the outside of the motel door.

Norma sprinted outside, enraged only to look down at the object sitting on the ground. She gasped.

It was a box of chocolates attached with a note that read "I'll be in touch."

Norma's blood boiled.

"AGHHHH!" She screamed in rage.

Running into the motel she quickly grabbed her car keys and sped off after the bastard. This guy needed to know that she wasn't some pathetic little woman. She meant business.

Norma saw the car in the distance as she slightly increased the gas, keeping a distance. She wanted to surprise this asshole.

Alex's warning echoed in her head but was quickly forgotten as Norma thought of Abernathy.

This threatening asshole was done and Norma was gonna make sure she scared him enough until he didn't bother her again.
