Assignment: Joey Potter

Chapter 8

"I'm so sorry Jo" was the last words she heard

"You lied to me?"

"I had to. It's my job to protect you and that's how I had to do it."

"So you didn't come here for any reasons beside that?" Joey said, her heart breaking.

"Jo I'm falling for you. But when I came, it was for my job and my job only."

"Pacey go to hell" she screamed before hastily exiting their hotel room.

"Joey stop! Jo Stop!!!" Pacey pleaded and ran after her. She ran as fast as she could. Screaming after her she said. "Leave me alone. Don't follow me!"

Pacey continued to run until his stomach hurt. Since the drug bust, he hadn't been able to run fast. He was still recovering.

Joey ran out of his sight. She had got away.

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

One of David Breath's friends spotted Joey running down the alley.

"Joey Potter on Rain Bay Alley" Robert radioed in.

"Okay we're on it"

A team of four men secretly followed her. She finally stepped into a little café on Mark's Street.

"A small coffee please" Joey ordered. She gave the lady the correct change, took her drink and sat down at a table.

The men were eying her readily. Waiting for her to leave and they could bring her back to headquarters.

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

"Hi Davis. It's Pacey. Is Peters there?"" he asked not quite wanting to tell his boss the bad news.

"Hi Pace."

"Okay. here's the deal. I have bad news. I leaked about who I am and what we're doing. She ran away. I can't find her."

"Witter!" He boss said. Witter might of just killed Joey.

"I know I shouldn't of. But Breath called here and said he was going to get her tomorrow. I told her we're getting out of Arizona and she said no and let me die. She didn't want anything to happen to me. Joey kept saying no and I finally told her who I am. She got mad and left. I chased after her but with my stomach I couldn't catch up. "

"Fine, I have some things to tell you too. Miss Foster was murdered along with Greg We assume he's in Arizona now. So hang up and find that girl. I'm calling back-up officers to help you.

Pacey hung up and dashed out the door.

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

Joey left the café and continued walking in the street, crying.

She felt the presence of someone. Someone was spying on her. She tried to force herself from thinking the guy was coming after her. She changed her thought to Pacey. Joey felt as though she was falling in love with him, Now she knew it was all just a gig.

She heard a rustle and then a muffled cuss word.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

No response.

"Hello?" Her shaky voice was part fear and part tears. Still no one spoke.

Fear got the best of her, Joey ran for her life.

Suddenly, a tall muscular man popped up, covered her mouth with his hand, but not before she let out a few screams and he tried to force her to quit squirming. With no avail. The three other men leaped out to assist their friend. Soon Little Miss Josephine Potter world was dark.

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

Pacey was searching down the streets when he heard a blood-curling scream. He knew it was her. They got her and he hoped he wasn't to late. He was going to try with all his might to get her back.
