"Forgot to tell me what?"

"That in this town everyone all ready knows who you are..."

"Oh, so you have told every on about me already..." He smirked.

"Nope, but you meet Mrs. Patty, so there fore everyone in there know who you are. The gossip chain works VERY fast here...." They walked in.

"Hey Rory, this must be your friend Tristan..." Taylor walked over. Tristan gave Rory the you-werent-shiting-me look.

"Yes sir."

"Well, it is a pleasure to have you in our town." The two sat down.

"Wow..."

"Yup.." Luke walked over.

"So this is the Mary Boy?"

"Yes, Luke, but he's been a good boy to day so be nice...."

"Eh...what do you guys want?"

"Two of the usual..."

"Coming right up...."

"He doesn't like me...."

"What makes you sway that?"

"I deal with a lot of parents, so I can tell when people don't like me."

"His not my dad..."

"Yea, well he cares a lot for you."

"Yea, I guess. But don't feel bad, he doesn't like many people."

"Well, he likes you."

"I'm special!"

"Yea, you are..." Dean walked into Lukes.

God, first Jason now this guy!

"Hey, look who's here.." Tristan leaned out of the seat and then leaned back in. Dean had a very stirn face on when he walked over to them.

"Rory, I don't get it. First Jason and now him! Him I can deal with, but I'm telling you Jason is bad news!"

Tristan studied dean.

What does this guy know about Jason?

"Dean, can you please stop this!"

"Just stay away from Jason!" And he left.

"God! If he does this one more time!" Rory hit her head aganst the table.

"Rory!" She was about to slam her head again but Tristan put his hands there before she made it to the table. He heads moved from her forehead to her cheeks.

"Stop!" He said with a smile on his face. She just nodded.

"So, he's said stuff about Jason before?"

"Yea, that he had a feeling about him! God, you would think Dean knew every guy who lived in Chicago!"

"Why would Dean know people in Chicago?"

"He lived there till this year..."

"Oh..." Their dinner came and they talked some.

"Thanks for dinner Tristan, you really didn't have to..."

'I wanted to." He said standing in the door of his car. "See yea tomorrow"

"Bye..." Rory went inside.

~*~ Tristan ~*~

"Dean knows a lot more then he is telling her. I can feel it!" He speed up till he ws infront of the market that Dean worked at.

He got out and took a breath.

"Dean..." Dean saw him, but he couldn't believe he was seeing him.

"What do you want?"

"Jason, what do you know about him?"

Dean was taken by surprise by his question. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Look, I know how I found out about the guy, but you.... You have another way. So what is it and what do you know?"

"I don't have to..."

"to what? Try to protect Rory?" He knew that would hit a nerve.

"Look! I know that he is bad news and that's all you need to know I know!"

"I KNOW YOU KNOW SOMETHING! And I will NOT leave until you tell me what it is and how you know. Because I have a feeling you know more about our little friend then you are letting on to..."
