"Serena, snap out of it," Joe told her, waving a hand in front of her face.
She was startled back to reality and sighed. Her eyes told a long story that she did not want to share.
"I'm so sorry about this Mr. Dawson. Charley's been pestering me for years about several things. Maybe you should go before he comes back," she explained before walking past him.
Joe considered giving a protest but thought against it as he watched her and left without question.

"So what you're saying Joe, is that this young woman is basically being stalked by this guy?" asked Duncan.
"Apparently so. The guy pretty much showed up at her apartment and she called him by name. She was pretty determined to get rid of this guy. Even threatened to call this friend of hers if he didn't leave quietly," Joe replied.
"Well, who should we go after first? Him or her? Plus who's this Scott guy? Do we already know him or will we meet him soon? It's all so confusing," Amanda wondered.
I already checked up on these three. Serena Scott, I found absolutely nothing. No hide nor hair of her at all. Scott, I also found nothing. Of course, that's a given. I need to know more to narrow it down a bit. Where he's been, even a picture. All I got is a first name. Charley Street is, ironically enough, an historian. Has been since his trip with Columbus in 1492. He likes to pry first-hand information out of Immortals who were at historical events, then take thier head. It looks like Serena managed to never get caught in his trap because of this Scott fellow. I'm thinking she has something he wants to know badly and hasn't gotten it yet, can't be sure. To find out more, we'd have to ask Serena about it but I don't think she'll talk quite easily though," Joe explained.
Duncan got up and started to leave the room.
"Where do you think you're going?" Amanda curiously asked.
"To find Serena. Possibly help if she wants it and find out why she's being hunted by this Charley guy," he replied.
"Well, I'm going with you. I want to know something about this one as well. After all, she did accuse me of going after her. I want to know more about this Charley guy too," Amanda said.
"Be careful Macleod. He's three to four centuries older than you are. He was born in the 13th century," Joe called to them.
"I'll be fine," Macleod called back.
"Don't worry Joe. I'll be there to help him out. After all, I'm older than him by about four hundred years," Amanda called back.
Joe watched them walk out the door.
"I'll try and find some more about these people," Joe told himself aloud, pulling out a portable computer.

Serena walked out of the bookstore. She soon felt the presence of another Immortal and looked to see Charley standing by the nearby docks, sword in hand. She took out hers.
"I want it to end here and now Ella. You've eluded me for so long. Ever since I first met you almost a century ago, I knew I wanted you. It's not my fault the wine got sweeter over the years," he said.
"I'll never forget the first time that we met," she told him.
"Neither will I though I think it should've been our last as well," Charley agreed, smiling.
"It wasn't though. Scott probably would've thought you as a coward though, killing me just after I was saved from a horrible ordeal," Serena replied, pointing her sword at him.
"Actually, I'm glad it wasn't our last encounter. Like I said sweetheart, the wine just got sweeter," Charley laughed, putting out his arms.
Serena looked at him with an angry look as he continued to laugh.
