Assignment: Joey Potter

Chapter: what is it now? 7 I think?

Pacey and Joey sat in a fancy restaurant waiting for their food to arrive.

"Joey, why don't you like steak?"

"I do but I wanted the lobster."

"Why didn't you buy both?" Pacey asked staring into her eyes. Their eyes were locked into a never-ending bond. Joey finally looked away.

"Because it costs to much for both and I could never finish it." Joey said as it was the simplest idea in the world.

"But I'm paying."

"Not this time. You paid for the hotel and all the other times we ate out. This time I'm paying the check."

"We'll see about that" Pacey said grinning like an alley cat.

"You won't win this one."

"No?" Pacey teased with mock innocence.

"Oh that reminds me I have to call my sister. I haven't called her since I left. She must be worried."

"Yeah. You should call her now." Pacey suggested

"We haven't even ate yet. Are you crazy?"

"I forgot about that. I was just trying to think of a way for you to leave and for me to pay the bill."

"Ha! That's not going to happen."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hi Bess. It's me." Joey said talking into the phone.

"Joey! Oh my god. We were so worried about you. I tried to call your house and nobody answered for 3 days straight. Where are you?" Her sister screamed into the phone.

"Don't worry Bess. I'm fine. I'm out of state for a little bit. I can't tell anyone where I am."

"Why not"

"Because I just can't. I can't tell anymore. Okay?"

"Yeah. Just tell me that your safe."

"I'm safe. I'm with a friend."

"Who? Maria? Brittany? Nicole?"

"No. It's not any of them."

"Which girlfriend of yours did you bring?" Bessie asked impatiently on the other line.

"Well, it's not exactly a girl."

"Your staying with a guy!"

"I just told you that."

"Do I know him?"

"No. His name is Pacey. He's been helping me deal with stuff."

"What stuff? Are you pregnant? Are you dying? Money problems?"

"No not like anything of that. Just trust me Okay?"

"okay. Can I at least have your phone number?"

Joey looked over at Pacey who was lying on the bed and intently listening to her.

"Hey Pace. Can I tell her our phone number?"

"Not right now. To dangerous."

"Sorry Bess. Not yet."

"Okay then call me every day."

"will do. Bye Bess."

"Just one more thing. Do you like this guy?"

Joey whispered "maybe" into the phone and hung up.

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

"Hello?" Bess asked into the phone.

"Yes. Is this Bessie Potter?"

"Yes. How may I help you?"

"I was wondering if you had Josephine's number handy?"

"Hold on a minute. Who is this calling?"

"An old friend of hers, she's just dying to meet." The man on the line said and he was actually meaning it. The death part at least.

"And your name is?"

"The guy who calls her on the phone everyday."

"Okay. Her number is 274 234 8533. But if your the guy who calls her on the phone everyday, don't you already know her number?"

"I mean the one she is at right now in Arizona."

"Arizona?"

"Yes you heard that correctly."

"I'm sorry. I don't know the number."

"Thanks for your time"

Peters had to come back to work on an emergency call. The serial killer, David Breath and struck again. Even though they had took Miss Foster to Mississippi, the jerk found her and murdered both the undercover cop and the woman. Now he had to get Miss Potter and Mrs. Andersen out of their previous location and move them some more.

Mike Peters had tried to contact Pacey but the receptionist said that she wasn't allowed to transfer calls to the Witter room. He tried to persuade her but with no prevail.

He had to contact him somehow.............................

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

Good Morning sir" That elderly woman greeted.

Pacey and Joey had meet and enjoyed the company of Mrs. Treasure O'Donnell.

"So what are you two children doing today?"

"We thought it might be nice to catch a movie. Would you like to join us?" Joey asked the kind woman.

"What movie are you to going to see?"

"Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

"That's a nice invitation but I have to decline."

"Okay."

"Hey Pace we have to get ready. It starts in 30 minutes."

"Okay Jo. It's nice to see you again Treasure."

"You too Pacey."

Joey practically dragged him into the room.

"We're not seriously going to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are we?"

"Why not?"

"It looks good but there's supposed to be a lot of graphic things."

"And miss-I -have -sexy -clothes- in -my -closest doesn't think she can handle it"

"No I mean blood. I can't handle it."
"How about this. We go to the movie and I'll block out all the scary things."

"How are you doing to do that?"

"Wait and See Miss Potter."

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

Just when the man with the chainsaw is coming after them, Joey screams.

Aren't you supposed to distract me from this Pace?"

"Oh yeah."

Pacey reaches over and gives a little peck to her lips and then puts his hands over her eyes.

"Better now?"

"So much. Pacey is the movie scary to you at all?"

"It's very suspenseful."

"That's all you say to that!!!"

"Hey be quiet up there!" A man yelled.

"Hey Jo. How about we leave and go get some dinner."

"Sure"

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

After they got home they were stuffed. Right when they came in the door the phone rang.

"I thought I told the receptionists to hold all the calls?"

"Hello." Pacey asked into the phone.

It was silent for a moment and then a male voice came.

"May I talk to Josephine please?"

"Who is this?" Pacey barked into the phone

"I need to talk to Josephine."

"Not until you tell me who it is"

"Let's just say we're old friends"

"Not until I have a name Buddy."

Joey was listening in on the phone to. Pacey looked over to see if Joey thought it was the guy.

Joey nodded.

"Do you what to talk to him" Pacey whispered.

She nodded again.

"Here she is."
Pacey was listening in on the phone while the two of them talked.

"Hello Josephine. I thought I told you not to run."

"How did you find me?"

"It is unfair to dispense information such as this."

"I don't give a damn."

"Since you played that little trick on me. You're going to die tomorrow." The line went dead.

Joey looked over to Pacey with an ghostly face. Pacey knew she was scared, scare to death of death.

"Jo. We're leaving. I don't care the hell where. But we're leaving."

"No! Just let me die. I caused to much trouble already."

"Jo listen to me. Your not going to die. I'm going to be there for you."

"Pacey go back to Texas. Let me die." Joey tearfully said.

"Why would I do that?"

"Because I don't deserve to live. That's why the guy is tracking me down. I simply don't deserve to."

"Get your bags packed. We're going to Wisconsin."

"NO!"

"Jo. I have to tell you the truth. But you can't tell anyone. And you're going to be real pissed at me."

"What is it?"

"I'm not who you think I am. I'm an undercover cop from New York. There's an serial killer after you. David Breath to be exact. There's 2 other woman who's he's tracking down right now. They're in other locations to. I'm so sorry Jo."
