"Breath hung up with us!" One of the men were saying.
"What happened?" Pacey asked.
"He hung up with us. We don't know how Bessie is or where she is for that matter."
"Damn" Pacey cursed.
"My words exactly" Peters said coming up from behind him.
"Joey's not going to take this good."
Peters nodded.
"Mike... Are we still going to bring Joey.. Now that Bessie might not be there?"
"I really don't know anymore...They might have her by now but if they don't and we hand over Joey.. it's a lost battle."
Pacey began pacing the large room. The pale shade of green of the walls was starting to make him dizzy.
"Witter.. Are you okay.. You should sit down. You're looking pale." Anna Black asked him.
"NO....."
"Peters... Come here. Make him sit."
"Pacey" Peters said in a warning manor. "We don't need a person fainting on us now. We have to much to deal with. Joey needs you.. Sit down." Pacey compiled to his boss's request. He put his head in his hands and began to be terribly worried...
"Joey? Are you all right?" Jen asked concerned. She had left a day later then Pacey and Joey had. She was left in Brazil to finish up business and collect all of Pacey and Joey's things that they left behind in hurry.
Right now Joey was laying on the couch with her head in the pillow.
"Who is it?"
"It's Jen."
"Jen?" Joey pondered her thoughts trying to think of a Jen. All the events that happened recently were scrambling through her head but none of them thought of the occurrence in Brazil.
"The whole police incident in Brazil..." Jen offered, attempting to help Joey remember her.
"Oh.. Yeah...." Then Joey was quiet. She had yet to bring her head off of the pillow.
"Are you okay?" Jen asked again.
"No." Was the response from the pillow.
"Is there any way I can help you?"
"Yes." Then nothing.
"What?" Jen Lindley questioned calmly.
"Do you have a pager or cell phone you could use?"
"Yes." She answered wondering how that could help Joey.
"Could the police contacted it if they needed to?"
"I suppose."
"Can you take me to Capeside?"
"I don't know.. I'll ask Pacey."
"I want Pacey to come too."
"Okay. But I don't know if he can. I will be right back."
Jen left Joey in search of Pacey. She found him in Peters office.
"Pacey?"
"Yes." He had expected Joey not Jen. He thought she was still in South America.
"Ms. Potter wants to go to Capeside. I think it's a good idea to get her away from this all... But does she still have to go the Breath?"
"I don't think so.. We have credible word that Bessie isn't at Breath's hideaway. I will go ask Peters if she and you can go."
"But... she wants you to come too."
Pacey looked up to face her. "I'll see." He said with no emotion.
"Peters I need to talk to you..."
"Joey. I talked to Pacey and he's asking Mike Peters now if we can go."
"Okay. Thanks" Was all she said. All she wanted now was to go to Capeside. She needed to relax. She figured if she left to go to her hometown that when she came back she would be stronger and able to take whatever was coming to her.
"Joey.. I know this is all hard and---"
Joey sat up and looked a Jen.
"I will be fine. Thank you."
Jen only nodded.
Pacey walked into the room and continued to Joey. He sat on the sofa and hugged her and place a small but meaningful kiss on her lips.
"Can we go?" Joey asked impatiently.
"Yes. Jen are you coming? Because if you are you're going to need clothes."
"I'm haven't unpacked yet and my bags are in the car. I'm ready to go."
"Okay now all we need to do is get Joey's clothes but they're in my office. I will be right back.
He left the two girls in search of their belongings.
After a few minutes, he came back, clothes 'n all.
"You two ladies ready to hit Capeside?"
"Joey nodded, delighted and Jen simply shrugged
To be continued..........
Joey, Pacey, and Jen are off to Capeside. But still where is Bessie. I think Breath is a little furious that his own man kidnapped his victim. What will happen???????????
