ICE HOUSE

Pacey was wiping down a table when Amy came up to him and smiled. "Uncle Pacey why are you wiping down a table?" Amy asked.

Pacey smirked. "Cause my help is lazy." Pacey said.

Amy laughed. "Here let me finish." Amy said bumping him out of the way.

Pacey smirked. "Ok. Only if I can sit down and watch." Pacey said.

Amy smirked. "Sure. But I don't see why you want to watch." Amy said clearing the glasses off.

"How was school?" Pacey asked.

"Ok. 2 many classes not enough time in between to do the home work." Amy said.

Pacey smirked. "You're nothing like your mom. She never wanted to do the homework." Pacey said.

Amy smiled and looked down. "I'm so tired it ain't funny." Amy said.

Pacey smiled. "Go home and get some rest." Pacey said taking the tray from her.

Amy sighed. "Uncle Pacey I need to ask you a question." Amy said.

Pacey turned to her. "Ok. What is it?" Pacey said.

"I've heard rumors about you dating a teacher in high school. I've also heard Dawson Dad and Douggie mention it. Did you?" Amy asked.

Pacey sighed and motioned for the booth he was standing beside. "Ms. Jackson. Yes I did. But it was on both parts. Why you ask?" Pacey asked.

Amy shrugged. "Just curious. Rumors in school. I wanted to see if they were true. You know me always checking stuff out." Amy said.

"Yeah and I also know that you don't listen to the rumors. So spill what's got you asking." Pacey said.

Amy closed her eyes. "I um just was curious if she ever propositioned you. Made you have the relationship." Amy said swallowing hard. Pacey seen his niece's facade coming down.

"No. I did it. I was young dumb and stupid. Didn't think it could ruin her career or my reputation." Pacey said.

Amy nodded. "K. Thanks for telling me." Amy said going to get up but was stopped when Pacey caught her wrist.

"Amy you know if you need to talk you can always come to me or Joey. Right?" Pacey asked.

Amy nodded. "I know. I need to get my stuff and get home." Amy said going to the back leaving Pacey sitting at the table pondering what was just said between them.

8:30 PM

JACK/DOUG'S HOUSE

Jack was sitting on the couch grading a paper when the phone startled him. He picked up the cordless phone and spoke. "Hello?" He said.

"Hey it's Pacey. Listen Amy just asked me something weird." Pacey said.

"Oh what did she ask. You to murder Dentworth?" Jack asked.

Pacey laughed. "No. But I'll gladly do it. No she asked about me and Tamara Jackson." Pacey said.

Jack was confused. "Wonder why she asked about that." Jack said.

"Jack I think she's about at her wits end and wants to talk. But afraid to. If I can get her to talk I will but I think she needs someone to tell her it's ok." Pacey said.

"Yeah me and Doug were just talking about that. I don't know how to tell her it's ok tho." Jack said leaning heavily back into the couch.

"Have you considered confronting Dentworth. Maybe seeing if he's as mean as she thinks he is." Pacey asked.

"I have. But if he's bad now. Me confronting him will only make it worse." Jack said hearing the front door open and revealing Amy.

"Hey I need to go. My favorite daughter just walked in." Jack said.

"Alright. I'll see what I can get out of her tomorrow. Night." Pacey said hanging up.

Jack hung up and smiled at Amy. "How was work?" He asked.

Amy shrugged. "Ok. Uncle Pacey had Jamie Slighmore working with me. Big mistake. She don't work she asks about 90 questions a minute." Amy said.

Jack smirked. "Inquisitive is she?" Jack asked.

Amy sighed. "Yeah. All I know right now is I want a bath and my bed. All my homework is done. I had time in between tables." Amy said.

Jack smiled. "Good. Um how did your thing after school go?" Jack asked.

Amy looked at him and nodded. "Ok. It was about the paper. Asked if I wouldn't mind doing another test at that level.." Amy said.

Jack smiled. "Ok. Amy you know if something was wrong in school you could tell me or Douggie about it. Right?" Jack asked.

Amy nodded. "Yeah." Amy said laughing.

Jack looked at her confused. "What so funny?" Jack asked.

Amy shook her head. "Nothing just that Uncle Pacey said about the same thing before I left the restaurant a few minutes ago." Amy said.

Jack smirked. "Great minds think a like." Jack said.

Amy nodded. "Yeah. I'm gonna go shower." Amy said getting up and heading up the stairs. Jack sighed sometimes he wondered why Amy turned out the way she did. And then sometimes he was glad she did. Jack smiled at that.

TUESDAY LUNCH PERIOD

CAPESIDE HIGHSCHOOL

Amy was sitting at her normal table when something landed in front of her. She looked up to see Mr Dentworth smiling. 'Complete this paper and bring it back to me after school tomorrow." Dentworth said and walked away. Amy sighed and looked at the paper. It was another hard test. Just then Jack came in with Doug and another deputy of Doug's "Hey there you are." Doug said. Amy nodded and slipped the paper into her back pack.

"Here I am." Amy said.

Jack smiled and sat down beside her. "Amy this is a rookie deputy of Douggie's his name is Ty Davis. This is our daughter Amy Lindley." Jack said. Ty and Amy shook hands.

"Nice to meet you." Amy said.

Ty nodded. "Nice to put a face with a name. Sheriff Witter talks about his daughter all the time." Ty said.

Amy smirked. "Any bad things I should know about?" Amy asked.

Ty laughed. "Nah. All good. I'll let you know tho." Ty said.

Amy smiled. "Sorry to cut this short but I need to go and get books for my next class." Amy said.

Doug smiled. "Hey you mind if Ty comes to the Ice House for lunch after school?" Doug asked.

Amy shook her head. "Sure no problem. As long as you don't mind me running around waiting tables." Amy said.

Ty held his hand up. "Not a problem." Ty said.

Amy smiled. "Cool. I'll be there at about 3:35 maybe later." Amy said.

Ty nodded. "K. I'll see you then." Ty said.

Amy smiled and turned to Doug. "Bye Douggie. Stay safe." Amy said hugging him.

Doug smiled. 'Always do. See you later tonight." Doug said watching Amy stroll out of the cafeteria. Jack Ty and Doug all smiled.

Jack turned to Ty. "You know what to do. Right?" He asked.

Ty nodded. "Yeah. Spend time with her. See if I can get her to talk about this Dentworth guy. And whatever she tells me tell you guys. Easy." Ty said. Jack and Doug laughed. Ty looked at them confused.

"What?" He asked.

"It's not gonna be easy. Amy isn't easy to get talking. She has to like you before she speaks of anything personal." Jack said.

Ty smiled. 'Well then I can spend time with this girl. She seems interesting. I can't wait to get to know her." Ty said.

Doug nodded. "Alright ready to get back to the station?" He asked.

Ty nodded. "Yeah. Nice to meet you Mr. McPhee." Ty said shaking Jack's hand. Jack waved him off.

"Jack. Please call me Jack." He said.

Ty nodded. "Jack. Sheriff I'll wait for you in the car." Ty said heading toward the exit.

Doug turned to Jack. "Maybe this will work. I'll run by and let Pacey know so he won't get concerned." Doug said.

Jack nodded and patter his back. "See you at home." Jack said walking out of the cafeteria.

2: PM

ICE HOUSE

Pacey was standing at the counter adding something up when the phone rang and one of the bus boys came out. "Boss. Sheriff Witter on the phone for you." The boy said. Pacey took the phone. "Thanks." He said and spoke into the phone.

"Hey sheriff Douggie. What do I owe the pleasure of you calling here?" Pacey asked.

"Called to let you know I have a deputy coming in to talk with Amy. He's gonna get to know her and see if she mite slip him some information on what Dentworth is doing." Doug said.

"Sounds good. He meet Amy?" Pacey asked.

"Yes he did. Met her at the school. I took him there during her lunch period. She was hiding a paper. See if you can find out what it is." Doug said.

"Will do. What's this kid's name?" Pacey asked.

"Ty Davis. Nice looking man." Doug said.

"We'll see . I'll talk to you later." Pacey said hanging up.

3:25 PM

Ty stepped into the Ice House and looked around. He noticed a man standing at the counter and walked over. "Excuse me." He said.

The man looked up. "Can I help you?" He asked.

"Yes I'm meeting someone she works here. Amy Lindley." Ty said.

The man smiled. "You must be Ty. I'm Sheriff Witters brother Pacey." Pacey said sticking his hand out. Ty shook it.

"Oh nice to meet you." Ty said.

Pacey smiled. "Listen Ty I know what my brother and Jack are doing. It might work. And it might not. So just be aware of her reluctance. She's fighting for Jack. And they are very protective of each other." Pacey said.

Ty nodded. "So I've heard. He should feel lucky." Ty said.

Pacey smiled. "Yeah. If only she didn't have to fight for his job. Any ways if you want to take a seat she'll be here in a few minutes." Pacey said.

Ty nodded. "Thanks." Ty said and moved to a back booth. Pacey sighed maybe this would work.
