Assignment: Joey Potter

Chapter 12

Author's Note- Thanks for all the feedback!

"We need to find Bessie. Have all units on watch for her. We need to find her fast. We are not going to tell Joey. Everyone understand. WE are NOT, I repeat not going to tell Joey." Peters spoke to the room filled with officers. He had made a quick emergency meeting for the Coastal-Tracing Serial Killer. The only woman left that the detectives thought he was after was still safe. She had been let off the hook for awhile while David was going after Miss Potter.

"Okay everybody. We have to get a move on. By tomorrow we could have a murder on our hands and we don't want that. Lets hope for the best and work our hardest."

The room was dismissed and all the cops were filing out.

"Uhh.. Mr. Peters? How long is it until Breath said he was going to kill Ms. Potter?" Officer Renée asked.

Peters thought for and moment then spoke. "He didn't give me a date so we have to find her fast. We don't know what time length David Breath put on her. All we can do is hurry."

"Thank you" She turned around and left the almost empty room.

"Peters," A gruff voice behind him said. He turned around to be face to face to the head of the police department.

"Yes Mr. Welling?"

"I have been following your work on this case and I have to tell you that I am sending an agent to Brazil to stay with Mr. Witter and Ms. Potter."

"Are you sure that's even necessary?"

"Yes. We need extra protection for the safety of Miss Potter."

"Yes sir. May I ask which agent you're sending?"

"Ms. Lindley."

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

"So that's why you're on this case? Because a drug dealer injured you?"

"Yes. He shot me in the stomach. So when you ran away after I told you ,I couldn't chase you."

"I'm sorry Pacey."

"Don't worry. I wasn't paying any attention to the other guy. My main goal was to get the one guy arrested."

Joey remained silent for a few brief minutes then said "Pacey do you think Breath knows where I am?"

"I don't know?" Joey was sitting with her hands around her knees rocking herself gently. Hot tears began rolling down her face. Pacey pulled her closer to her. Joey appreciated the kind gesture and laid her head on his lap. They sat there on the middle of the floor quietly comforting and reassuring each other.

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

Bessie sat in a small room wondering what was going on (Remember she doesn't know one thing about a serial killer following her little sister). At one in the morning 3 armed men broke into her house. Bodie was gone at a convention and Alex was staying at Bodie's parents house for the weekend.

Suddenly a strong looking male walked into the room.

"Hello Bessie"

"How do you know my name?"

"Have you heard of the coastal-tracing serial killer? Well, ta da!"

"Why are you after me?"

"Because I am actually after your sister but she disappeared with a secret service agent. And I told police if she didn't come to the back of the Parkers by 12 o'clock tonight you are dead."

"Your following Joey?"

"That's what I said."

"And she's with the police?"

"Yes" David said getting annoyed at her questioning.

"That's why she said that."

"Said what?"

"That she's leaving and I couldn't know about it."

"You didn't know? I guess she can keep a secret."

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

Jennifer Lindley stepped off the plane in Brazil. She cautiously looked around her new surroundings.

After she retrieved her bags, Jen hopped into a cab and made her way to the place Pacey and Joey were staying.

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

Will chaos ensue once Jen arrives?

Will Bessie survive?

Is Joey holding up okay knowing that someone is wanting to kill her?

Remember when Joey got an email from Breath? Will they start coming again?
