Author's Note- Thanks to all the people who Emailed and reviewed my story to me to tell me how they liked my tale of romance even though they haven't hardly started it yet. Rachel.... Aurora.... TINK.... EVERYONE! EVERYBODY!
"Can I talk now?" Bessie whispered once they were in the car.
"Yes."
"Where are we going?" She said wondering.
"Casper Wyoming."
"Why? I want to go to Joey and Alex and Bodie..."
"We can't."
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Because isn't good enough." Bessie screamed at the driver.
"Shut up. I'm saving your life."
"What? By going to Wyoming? That's crazy."
"Okay. I'm saving Joey."
Bessie was silent. He was right and she knew it.
"I'm sorry." Bessie apologized.
He nodded. "If we go to Casper, David won't find us. Joey won't go to Breath. I'll let the police know where Breath and his gang is and we all go home safe and happy."
After a long pause, Bessie spoke. "Why are you trying to help me?" It was almost a whisper.
"Let's just say I owe it to them."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that if I didn't do it I would regret it forever."
"I still don't get it." Bessie wanted to know what he meant. It was the famous stubborn Potter gene that kept her at it.
"I will tell you later"
"Please tell me now."
"No."
And that subject was left alone for at least a little bit.

"Capeside's beautiful Joey." Jen said as they entered the city limits.
"Joey?"
"Joey?" Pacey took his eyes off the road for a minute to see why Joey wasn't responding.
"I know. It's gorgeous here. I wonder why I never came here since high school?"
"Why didn't you?" Jen asked her curiously.
"Life. I needed to get away from that life."
"How can you do that?" Jen questioned.
"Not very easily."
"Hmm."
"Yeah. I remember one day I went swimming with Mike."
"Who's Mike?" Jen interrupted.
"My dad."
"why do you call him Mike?" Pacey interjected into the conversation.
"He wasn't my dad. He was the one on my birth certificate but by no means was he my dad."
"Why not?"
Joey didn't answer. She was in a land from away. She was acting like a zombie, unable to come up my things in a regular amount of time.
"Joey?"
"What?" She asked zapping out of it.
"Nothing." Jen said dismissing the subject.
"Home sweet home." Pacey said driving into the Potter B&B driveway. Bodie bounded out the door.
"Hey Joey!" Bodie shouted, greeting Joey.
"Bodie!" Joey ran up to him in full speed.
"What happened? where's Bessie?" The police hadn't told him yet and Pacey was supposed to.
"Mr. Wells." Pacey said stepping out of the car.
"Yes."
"I'm Officer Pacey Witter----....."
"What's the matter with her?" Bodie asked alarmed.
"I am here to say that someone of the Breath tribe has taken Bessie"
"Oh god.. No.. where is she?" Joey hugged him while he cried.
"Maybe we should go in an discuss this more.?" Jen offered.
"That's a good idea."
