Hey guys sorry it took me so long to get this next part up. Thanx for all of your reviews and/or emails keep R&R A/N: I made up Officer Mike for this story just to let you know.


"Hello? Yes this is Loralai Gilmore, what? Yes Rory is doing fine, listen, hello? Excuse me I need a cop to come down here now! Because a boy tried to hit my daughter's boyfriend with something. No he missed he got the car window instead. Are you going to come down here or not? Yes OK, thank you. Bye"

"Mom what's wrong?" Rory asks coming in

"I'm trying to call and ask for a cop and the girl over the phone is making conversation!"

"OK mom just calm down. It's over" Rory coaxes her

"I am, I am , Oh Tristan are you OK? Did you get hurt? Can I get you something?"

"No Loralai I'm OK."

"You sure? I can get you something if you need it."

"I'm positive, thank you though"

"OK then I'm going to make some coffee for when the police come here or for me of anyone else in town who finds out and comes over."

Loralai leaves and Rory turns to Tristan "So what are you going to do?"

"Nothing I'm going to let the police take care of it."

"I don't believe you." Rory says

Tristan sighs "Honestly? I would love to go find Dean and go smash his motorcycle or something. But that wont do any good. So I really don't know what I am going to do - yet"

"I think we have to do something." Rory says firmly

"We? No I don't think so I don't want you doing anything that will get you hurt."

"But Tristan-"

"Rory swear you wont do anything dumb."

"Fine I swear." Rory mumbles

"Good" Tristan says pulling her close "I don't know what I would do if anything ever happened to you."

The doorbell rings signaling the arrival of the police.

"I'll get it, I'll get it." Loralai says rushing over to the door.

She opens the door

"Hello Officer Mike come in" Officer Mike walks in. Loralai is about to shut the door when someone else pushes it open. "Sookie! What are you doing here? Ms. Patty? Babette? Luke? Taylor? Listen guys you all can't come in here this is family business."

"Loralai when something this big happens it is all of our obligations to come together." Taylor says

"Where is he?" Luke asks

"Who? Dean?" Loralai asks

"No that boy from the store today, I want to apologize to him for today."

"Apologize? Luke you want to apologize?" Loralai asks shocked

"Yes I do, Dean is the one that is no good, this one I like him."

"Well gee that good to know Luke, I'm glad you approve of MY daughter's boyfriend" Loralai says sarcastically

"For the record Loralai I do too." Ms. Patty puts in "Now where is Rory? I want to see if she is ok"

"Yes I will go with you Patty" Taylor says. Before he goes off he turns to Loralai "I must agree with the rest, this new boy is a winner."

Loralai smiles her (fakest) happy smile "Well thank you Taylor that is so good to know"

"Anytime Loralai anytime."

Loralai makes a face as everyone else goes off to find Rory and Tristan, and goes over to Officer Mike.

"Hi Loralai now why don't you tell me what happened, then I'll go and get Tristan's and Rory's stories.

"Sure Mike, lets go into the kitchen."

*****************

"Oh Rory dear are you ok?"

"Tristan that's you name right? Yea I'm sorry about this afternoon"

"Can I get you anything kids?"

Loralai walk in and sees Tristan and Rory trapped under all of the madness and says
"Hey- hey listen the policeman needs to talk to Rory and Tristan now." Everyone goes to follow them "Alone! They need to talk alone." Loralai says stopping the traffic

****************

"OK thanks Rory, Tristan, I only have one more question. Are you both positive it was Dean?"

"Absolutely" Tristan answers

"Definitely" Rory adds not missing a beat

"OK then, I should get going then."

"Hey wait a minute" Rory says stopping Mike "There's something your not telling us"

Mike sighs and sits back down "The thing is no one else saw Dean, so if we arrest him, he will probably be released before dawn on bail, and in the end nothing may happen because no one else was there except Tristan."

"But I know it was Dean!" Rory exclaims

"I know that Rory, so does your mom and probably the rest of Stars Hollow but there has to be a witness unless…."

"Unless what?" Tristan presses

"Unless Dean admits to it. Which is very unlikely. I really do have to go now, I'll get back to you as soon as I find out something."

"OK thanks a lot" Tristan says shaking his hand

******************

"Thank God they're all gone" Loralai says shutting the door. "I thought they would never leave"

"I guess I should go to" Tristan says getting up
"Uh Tristan this usually isn't my policy and it never will again, but it's late and you shouldn't drive your car with a broken window so would you like to spend the night? On the couch of course"

"Sure thanks Loralai a lot"

"Great you want to call you parents or something?"

"No they're away on business right now, home alone" Tristan smiles

"OK great then I will go and get you some blankets and pillows." Loralai smiles as she leaves the room

Tristan turns to Rory "What are you thinking?"

"Huh? Oh nothing"

"Yea right, you promised you wouldn't do anything dumb I don't want you to go and try to find Dean."

"I know I promised and I wont do anything like that OK?" Rory promises
*Hey at least with what I AM going to do I wont be breaking that promise* She thinks

"OK good night Rory." Dean says giving her a kiss

"Night Dean." Rory says as she goes off to her room.

Rory starts undressing as she starts to make up her plan in her head.
"Great I know exactly what I am going to do now all I have to do is wait for school on Monday."

*************

Monday soon came and as officer Mike predicted Dean had gotten released on bail the same day.
As Rory got dresses that morning she made sure to pack clothes in her bag and carefully hiding her book under her bed. "Get ready Rory, this better work."

"Bye Honey have a great day!" Loralai shouts as Rory runs out the door.

"Thanks Mom I hope you have a good day too!"

Rory runs the next couple of blocks until she reaches a phone booth. "Hello? Yes this is Loralai Gilmore (as in herself not her mom) yes I wont be in school today. (She coughs and sneezes *original I know just go with it* ) yes can you have someone get my work for me? Tristan DuGrey is just fine thank you. Bye"

Rory then goes into Ms. Patty's empty studio (classes didn't begin yet) when she comes back out she is wearing jeans and a sweater and sneakers. She breaks into a run and starts down the back streets so no one will see her.

A few minutes later Rory slips in the back doors of Stars Hollow High and heads to an empty technology classroom that she spent so many mornings in before school started when she used to go to Stars Hollow High (I made that up for my story)

Sure enough when she got there she heard voices. Two voices in fact, two very familiar voices.

********************
"Paris have you seen Rory?" Tristan asks

"Nope she's sick you should know that, here is her French homework be sure to get it to her" Paris says curtly

"Uh huh" Tristan says knowing Rory is up to something "I got to go Paris I have to make a phone call"

"Damn it!" Tristan mutters as he hangs up the phone "No one is home, where is she? I have to go find her."

He goes to run out the doors but is stopped "Going somewhere Mr. DuGrey?"

Tristan cringes and turns around "Mr. Medina I can explain."

"No I don't want to hear it, but I know you were probably going to try and check up on Rory since she is sick so I am going to be nice this one time and give you a warning."

"Thank you Mr. Medina"

"Get to class now Mr. DuGrey"

"Yes Sir"

*******************

"Ahem" Rory clears her throat

Lane and Dean look up startled "Rory what are you…." Lane starts

Dean looks at Rory his eyes blazing "Lane I need to talk to Dean" Rory says evenly

"No if you have to say anything to him you can say it to me too"

"Get out now Lane, you have to get to class and I don't think your mother wants to know you were going to skip because you were with Dean" She says sweetly

"What about you?"

"What about I'm home sick" Rory smiles

Lane leaves knowing she has no choice and Rory turns to Dean his eyes could kill her on the spot if looks could kill……..

TBC"d
