Assignment: Joey Potter
Chapter 9
"Well, well, well, Isn't it miss Josephine Potter." David Breath seethed.
"It's you. You're Cindy's boyfriend. You killed her. You killed all of them didn't you!"
"Yes."
"How dare you!" she screamed while he was still circling around her . Two guards were holding her arms.
"Miss Potter. I remember telling you that you will die tomorrow. Is that correct? Of course it is. I'm always correct. I will keep to my promise. You will be kept in that room" David pointed to a tiny room with only a blanket in it. But the good thing was it was cut off from the view of the other rooms.
"We will kill you at 3 o'clock tomorrow. You have hours remaining." He chuckled his villain laugh and exited the room.
The two guards pushed her towards the small imprisonment. After they hastily shoved her in and locked the door, the guards began mumbling something about their latest girlfriends.
'How Pathetic' she thought.
Joey wondered just how many more hours she would have.
***************************************************************************
"Peters. It's her. They got her." Pacey screamed into the phone.
"Back-up is coming. Go search some more."
"I'll call you back in a hour."
They both hung up. Pacey ran out of the phone booth. Amazingly, he found a small trace of blood down the alley.
"Gees, Serial killers these days don't even take much effort trying to cover up their crimes." Pacey mumbled.
He followed the trail of blood until he came to a small house. Painted in a bright orange color to say weird is the understatement of the millennium.
Pacey looked around the sides of the house for an open window. Aha he found one. Carefully he climbed though in.
He looked at his new and strange surroundings. A tall metal gun chest stood at the left of a sleeping guard. Pacey quietly tiptoed into the another room. The floorboard underneath him creaked. A man walked into the area Pacey was in. He was carrying a medium-sized gun. Pacey had no gun with him. The guard briefly scanned the room and went back to where he came from. Pacey continued his journey to finding Joey. And low and behold, sitting in a glass room was his Potter. Nobody else was in sight and Pacey thought that was odd but still he jiggled the handle. Locked.
Joey shifted from within the interior. Pacey hoped she wouldn't make a lot of noise in case the man with the gun would come and investigate.
To Pacey's brilliance, he had learned how to successfully pick a lock. Carefully but quietly he opened the lock. Joey was sleeping in her blanket.
Without much effort he lifted her off the floor and into his arms and maneuvered his way out of the strange looking house without anyone knowing.
"Pacey?" Joey asked as the sun filtered into her eyes.
"Yeah."
"You saved me Pacey. You saved my life."
"Forget about it."
"How can I?" Miss Potter questioned.
"Because I am just a cop looking out for you." He regretted it right after it came out of his mouth.
Hurt was shown in Joey's features.
"Whatever you say" Was Joey's answer as she nearly broke into tears.
**********************************
Just at that time David Breath found out his captive was missing.
*****************************************
Will Pacey and Joey get along again?
Will David find her again?
What ever happened to the police?
*************************************************************************
After Pacey and Joey checked into a different hotel room, Pacey knew he had to call his boss. Joey still wasn't really talking to him.
"Peter's it Pacey."
"Pacey" He heard his boss telling other officers that he was talking to him. "Did you find her? We're sending more back-up. They're will be there shortly."
"I got Joey with me here. I know where they are. They're in a orange house on Kelly's Street."
Joey grabbed the phone from Pacey's grip and began talking to his boss.
"Joey here. I know who the guy is. It's Cindy's old boyfriend and the father of her baby."
"Okay. Do you have more info on him."
" It was a secret relationship. I was the only one besides them who knew. I know he beat her a lot and drank too much."
"Now you were just caught by them. Correct?"
"Yes"
"And were there more than one guy there?"
"yes at least seven. I was kept in this weird glass room."
"Okay Joey. Could I talk to Pacey again?"
"Sure."
Joey handed the phone over to him as she left for the bathroom.
"Yeah Boss"
Pacey heard the shower go on
"Pacey tell me, did you see David?"
"No. All I wanted was to find Joey."
"Did they hurt her? Physically? "
"Blood and lots bruises. That's what I can decipher."
"Okay. Ask her that. Okay?"
"Okay. Now I need you two to go straight to the airport. All day the station has been trying to think of a safe place for you two to travel. David Breath is going to try with all his brains to find you. Boa Vista, Brazil is where you're traveling next. Plane leaves in two hours so hurry up."
***********************************************************
Joey walked out of the shower to find Pacey packing up all her things.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Packing. We're leaving to Brazil. In like 2 hours. It takes thirty minutes to drive to the airport and they say you're suppose to be there an hour ahead of time. And you were in the shower for 10 minutes and we should leave now. Check for anymore of our things in the drawers."
Joey briefly searched the chest and found nothing.
"Pacey why are we going to Brazil? Couldn't we go to a more exotic place like France or Africa."
"I only follow what my boss tells me." Another blow to Joey.
"Sorry. I didn't mean that."
"Does it matter?"
Pacey drew Joey into his muscular arms.
"Joey. I have to follow my directions but I do care deeply for you. You asked me a question this morning about did I only come here to save you. Well my answer is no. If I was never assigned to you, I would still be right here by your side. You understand me?"
"Really?"
"Yes really."
Joey felt Pacey's body moving closer to hers. Joey closed her eyes right as Pacey's lips brushed against hers. Joey felt like she was in a dream. Where the charming Prince comes to the beautiful Princess's rescue and they fall in love and live happily ever after. The kiss seemed to last forever. It was the best kiss she ever had. Soft and light but still with this burning passion. Ecstasy, Fireworks, Hunger and Yearning. The best thing of all besides it wasn't a dream was she was in love.
