Sorry it took me so long to do this one...I've been all wrapped up in TOW The Key, and kinda neglected this one.
Anyhoo, here is the next part--these characters aren't mine. Well, except for the fire inspector...and Kevin.
They are mine, I own them. copyright 2001. LOL.

"Let's GO!"
The guard led the panicked group through the darkened, emptied corridor.
They passed a group of masked, armed men on their way out of the building. They were all led to the other end of the parking lot.
They waited for an explosion, but it never came.

"It looks like a false alarm." The fire chief said an hour later.
"We found this underneath the so-called bomb," he said, handing Monica a piece of paper.
Monica unfolded the paper, and saw groups of letters, scrawled across the top: yOU WilL BE miNE.
Her brow furrowed in confusion. Was it some kind of riddle? Chandler appeared behind her, and looked at the paper.
His heart skipped a beat.
"Do you think that that's aimed at us?" he asked.
"I hope not!" Joey exclaimed.
Monica looked again at the note, trying hard not to show how worried she was.
"Well," Ross said, "At least it was a fake bomb."


New York City

Not much was said over the next few weeks about the incident in Salt Lake City. It was always on Monica's mind, but she didn't want the others to panic.
Maybe it was a one-time thing. Maybe it was a weird coincidence. The police weren't much help, since it was a false alarm.
Once the band arrived back in New York, they went their own seperate ways, desperately needing a break from each other. Monica missed hanging out with her
friends, especially Chandler. She decided to call him.
"Hey Mon," Chandler said, picking up on the second ring.
"How'd you know it was me?"
"Caller ID."
"Ah. Well, erm, I was wondering if, um..." Monica tried to think of a viable reason for calling him.
"Yes?" Chandler said.
"Have you, um, heard anything from the police about the bomb scare?"
"No....I thought you were handling all of that."
"I am, but I thought maybe they may have contacted you, ya know, for questioning."
"Why, am I a suspect?" Chandler joked.
"No, you're a WITNESS..." Monica suddenly picked up on his sarcasm, and felt her face turn red with embarassment.
"Hey," Chandler said casually, "You wanna go get something to eat? I am boooored!"
"Yeah, okay."
"I'll be over there in 20 minutes."
"Ok"
Monica hung up the phone. She couldn't understand why she all of the sudden felt so nervous talking to Chandler.
She'd never had trouble talking to him before. And it wasn't like they were going out on a date. They were just friends.
And colleagues. She shook her head, and decided to get ready to go.

Pheobe was sitting at a table in her favourite coffee shop, fiddling with a Times crossword puzzle. She was so engrossed in her
own thoughts, she didn't see the man standing in front of her. She nearly jumped out of her chair when he addressed her.
"Pheobe?"
She looked up, and silently cursed herself for actually being happy to see Joey Tribbiani again.
"Joey, hi."
"Is this seat taken?"
"Um, no."
Joey sat down, and ordered a regular coffee, black. Phoebe grinned. She thought that all those rich and famous folks drank cappuccino's and latte's.
"I'm not bothering you, am I?" Joey asked.
"Huh? no, no not at all." She tried to focus on the conversation, and not the fact that she was reluctantly attracted to him.

The conversation lasted for over two hours. They were interrupted two or three times by eager fans, and Phoebe was impressed with
the way that Joey handled them. He was gracious and friendly. He asked the fans questions, and was always willing to answer any of theirs.
Phoebe had definitly mis-judged this one. She smiled, and hoped that she would be able to see him again.

Joey was on cloud nine. Not only had he found Phoebe again, he'd had a terrific conversation, and she even gave him her phone number!
He was so happy he broke into a full run through Central Park.

Rachel couldn't stop smiling. She'd been dating Kevin for three weeks, not including the weeks she had been on the road with the band.
Kevin was the complete antithesis of Ross. He was sensitive and caring, and he actually paid attention to her.
The phone rang, causing Rachel to jump.
"Hello?"
"Rach?"
"Ross?"
"Uh, what-whatareyadoin?"
"Um, nothing-why?"
"Can you come pick me up?"
"Sure. Where are you?"
"Uh, in jail."
"What?"
"I...I can't explain it right now. Can you come get me before the press find out about this?"
Rachel sighed heavily. "I'll be right there."
She hung up, and dialled Monica's cell phone.

Rachel, Monica and Chandler arrived at the police station 30 minutes later, only to find that the press, and several fans
had already camped themselves outside the station.
"Dammit!" Monica said, "We need to do some damage control."
"Maybe I should talk to the press," Chandler suggested.
"I think we need to find out what Ross did first," Rachel said dryly.
Chandler and Monica looked at Rachel, then each other. This was *not* going to be pretty.

Okay....tell me what you think! And stay tuned for the next installment!
--What did Ross do?
--What's going to happen between Joey and Pheobe?
--Monica and Chandler?
--The return of *gulp* Janice??
