" I'm Sheriff Carter! Welcome to Eureka!" Jack told the twosome.

"Hi! Is this about the Chalk?" Natalie knew Monk's snatching it from that autistic child would bite them, especially in a small town like this. Yet again, she had to smooth things over for Adrian "Mr. Monk was just looking out for the child."

Adrian made a face of disgust "That kid was sitting on the dirty ground!"

Jack, who found Natalie to be attractive, asked. "Why didn't you just warn him?"

"He didn't listen!"

Jack said diplomatically ."See, the child is autistic."

Still obsessed about the dirtiness of the sidewalk Monk argued. "Being autistic doesn't make you immune from germs!"

"What he's trying to say is that the child's autism didn't make him worry any less about the uh…..possibility of disease" Natalie softened what the consultant had said.

"You're a germaphobe, arent' you?" Carter asked Monk with a sigh.

"He's got a lot of phobias, Sheriff" Natalie explained.

"Okay...uh...so..what's brings you Eureka."

Natalie replied. "We were on our way to Brownsville, but someone gave us bad directions, and we got lost."

"That's how I found Eureka" the sheriff remarked. "By getting lost"

"Really?" Natalie asked.

"Yeah…..so uh...where do you two hail from?"

"Mr. Monk is a private detective in San Francisco. I work with him." the blonde said.

" San Francisco huh? I've been up there a few times. It's a very nice city" He found it easy to talk to Natalie and wondered how someone like her could work with this Monk guy.

"So do you guys want anything else?" Vincent asked them. By far, he had found this brown suited man to be the most annoying customer ever.

"The glasses near the counter aren't displayed symmetrically."

"What?" Vincent rolled his eyes and looked behind him. He had used several in the past half hour to serve various customers.

"You've uh...got a great eye for details..." the sheriff said euphemistically, imagining the kind of arguments Monk would have with S.A.R.A.H. Jack thought, "This guy and S.A.R.A.H would drive each other nuts"

"Maybe you could tell us how to get to Brownsville?" Natalie asked with a smile. She wanted to get out of this town before Adrian angered anyone else.

Gladly, Jack gave them the directions. Eventually, the food was paid for, and they went to Natalie's car, and left the town for Good

The End

Note: I stopped watching Eureka for some reason around the first season, so I decided to change this chapter so that the story would end with Monk and Natalie leaving.
