Assignment: Joey Potter
Chapter 23
Thanks to Aurora!
Bodie had decided to leave Capeside for good. He was too tried of all the media following him around. The last Joey heard of him was that he was in California. He had left Alex with his mother. Joey was repeatedly being wakened up at night with nightmares. Pacey always comforted her and they both went back to sleep together. Jen's funeral had been an extremely hard time for Joey and Pacey. But they got through it and when they got home they thought of the good memories they had with her, especially her first arrival in Brazil. A week went by with no contact from Breath. It was both a good thing and a scary thing.
The Potter's B&B still smelled a lot like blood but that went away a little by little.
Pacey and Joey were cuddling on the sofa when the phone rang.
"Hello?" Joey answered.
"Joey!" Bessie said. Bessie had been bugging Wayne to let her call her sister for sometime now and he finally gave in to her snagging.
"Bessie!" She said astonished. Pacey got up from the couch and went over to Joey
"I miss you so much. I haven't been able to contact you. But I want to let you know I'm okay. Ohhh.. And I saw you on the news!" Bessie giggled.
"I'm so happy you're all right. Where are you?"
"In Wyoming. We're coming home soon. Don't worry."
"Why are you there? And who is we?"
"For protection and I shouldn't mention his name. But I'm fine and he's taking really good care of me."
"That's good. Pacey wants to talk to you. Okay?"
"That's fine."
"Well finally that sister of yours gave me the phone. I was tapping her on the shoulder for ever. I thought my finger was going to fall off." He joked. Bessie heard Joey laughing in the background. "Now Bessie. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"When are you coming back. Because I need to alert my boss about everything."
"In a week and that's fine."
"I need to know who's you are with."
"I can't"
"Fine. are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes."
"Okay. I need you to call this number immediately okay. It's 735 264 7745"
"Okay. I got it. Who am I calling?"
"Chief of Police, Mike Peters. But beware he will ask you a lot of questions"
"Okay."
"Before you go I have a sister of yours that's dying to talk to you again."
"Hi. Bessie! I can't wait to see you again. I really miss you. Call me tomorrow. I love you bye!"
"I love you too! Bye!"
They both hung up.
"So. Now that you know your sister is all right you want to come back on the sofa with me?"
"You know I do mister."
She hopped onto the sofa almost on Pacey. "Watch it girl"
"Oh you know you love it." He kissed her on her mouth.
"And I love when you do that." She said still kissing him.
"And I love you." Joey said.
"You know what. I think I'm in love with you." Pacey said.
"Well, It took you long enough." She said sarcastically.
"Yes it did." He said giving her another kiss.
"Are we going to have sex on the couch?" Joey asked.
"What do you think?"
"I was thinking the bed but whatever fits." She said sexily.

5 hours later.
The phone rings.
"Pacey will you answer it?" Joey yelled from the shower.
"Sure. Hello?"
"Is Josephine there?" The same creepy voice said.
"No." Pacey searched in his pocket for his cell phone. He found it and dialed the number to the police.
"No? Really. I would love to talk to her."
"Hello this is the police department. How can I assist you today?" The lady on his cell phone said. Pacey covered the speaker of the one phone and began talking to the lady.
"Yes. Get Peters and Hurry. it's Witter."
"Pacey? What the matter." Peters said
"Breath's on the line."
" Okay. I will have them trace the line fast. Hang up with me and just talk to him for as long as you can."
"Okay. bye."
"Breath, Hi. what were you saying?" He covered the mic again and yelled for Joey to come immediately.
She came in an instant. And water was dripping everywhere and she had no clothes on. "what?" She asked panting.
"Breath's on the line. I need them to trace the call and I need to stay on the phone as long as possible."
"Okay. Give me it" He gave her the phone.
"Hello?"
"Yes. How's your day?"
"Fine. Why are you calling?"
"Just to say that I have another precious person in your life held captive."
"Who?" Pacey ran upstairs to get Joey some clothes because the cops were to be arriving soon.
"Let's just say everyone in your family will fall apart if the person dies."
"Then what do you want?"
"I want you to come to Manifesto Ave. on Saturday at 9 at night. ALONE. And if you tell the cops the person goes. You got it?"
Joey was shaking. If her knees had bells on them, they would of sang all of the tunes in the world by now.
