Assignment: Joey Potter
Chapter 27
"So that's it?" Pacey said confused.
"Yes that's it." Joey returned annoyed.
"Why?"
"Pacey I know you'll be jealous but I used to date him" She said slowly.
"THAT GUY OUT THERE YOU USED TO DATE!!!" he said astonished.
"yeah. But I broke up with him a couple months later." She said as if it could comfort his ego.
"Why did you break up with him?"
"He was really older than me and he cheated on me."
"That son of a ---" He was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Joey asked.
"Bessie. Can I come in?"
"Sure hold on a sec. I need to unlock the door." She got off the bed and quickly wiped her tears off her face.
Joey walked over to the door and slowly opened it.
"I'm so sorry Bessie. You just came here and all I do is run into my room like a baby." She cried hugging her for the second time that day.
"It's okay. Is there something you'd like to tell me though?" Bessie pushed.
"Not really Bess."
"Okay."
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot"
"How long is Wayne going to stay here?"
"A while probably why?"
"I just don't really feel comfortable with him here. That's all."
"Oh..." She paused for a long second and thought of her date with him. She was going to keep it secret. Instead she said. "Where's Bodie?"
Pacey and Joey looked at each other for a brief second. Bessie noticed their nervous glances.
"What? Where is he? Did he take Alex for a walk. Wait. What kind of mother am I. Where's Alex?" She said getting alarmed.
"Joey? Pacey? Where are they?"
"Alex is with Bodie's parents" Joey said cautiously.
"Oh. That's nice that Bodie and him when to see them." She noticed more glances and stares.
"What aren't you telling me?"
"Well. Bodie isn't exactly with them."
"What do you mean. Where is he?"
"Bessie." Joey said looking straight into his sister's eyes. "Bodie says he's spent. He said he was done with Capeside. Bessie he left."
Bessie stood staring at her sister for she don't know how long.
"When did he leave?" Bessie asked quietly. She was surprised that her ex-husband would leave, for good no less. She was a little thankful that she didn't have to tell him about he date but that didn't really matter.
"Almost two weeks." Pacey said after Joey didn't answer her question.
"Oh." She stood up from the chair she was just occupying and left the room.

Peters was going over the plans for the bust. He had everything he needed except the knowledge of whether Joey was helping him or not. With all the chaos at home, neither Joey nor Pacey called in with their decision. There was a knock at the door.
"Come in." He called not looking up.
"Mister Peters." A young lady's voice spoke.
"Yes." He looked up. "Oh.. Mrs. Breath. How are you?"
"Not well."
"Why?"
"My husband knows I did something."
"How?"
"Well, for started I have been gone for 3 days now. That's a little suspicious."
"Indeed it is."
" I need someone to protect me. A guard or something."
"I think we can do that."
"Okay."
"Would you mind if you stayed in my house for protection. I have two other officers living there boarding. That would probably be the safest way."
"Okay. Thank you." She walked over to Peter's desk and placed a small gentle kiss on his cheek.
"Goodbye Mrs. Breath."
"You too Mike." Sapphire said as she exited his office in search of his secretary.
********************************************************************************
"Matthews!!! Is Sapphire down in the basement?" Breath called to his friend.
"No sir.!" He called from his search downstairs.
"Damn her. That little conniving bitch---" He couldn't complete his sentence. If he found out she did anything to hurt him or his business, she would be dead in seconds.
"Breath!" Samuel shouted.
"Yeah."
"WE have reason to believe we are being tracked by the cops."
Now he knew. She did it. His own wife turned him in. "I'm going to kill her!" He hollered down the halls.
