Assignment: Joey Potter
Chapter 30
"Next on CNN Headline News. The Coastal- Tracing Serial Killer. The most terrifying serial killer in US history. He has brutally murdered over 50 woman and girls. The highest police ranking officers, detectives and analysts are working their hardest in tracking this villain. The latest victim-Sandra Raid- only 24 years old, a loving wife and mother of 2 was murdered in her own home at approximately eight o'clock last night. She was babysitting her friend's baby, when apparently a masked man broke the back window in her house and came into the living room where she was happily playing with the baby. They found her body with 3 bullet holes. 2 in her chest and 1 in her brain. More about this latest killing after the break." The snotty newswoman said in her fake perky voice.
This was the latest and hottest thing in the news. Pacey and Joey sat in hurry as they waited for the commercial break to end and the news story to return on their television .
They had received a call from Peters in the wee hours of the morning telling them that another victim had fallen under Breath. They had been glued to the television all morning and afternoon long.
Pacey could tell Joey was very nervous about her upcoming skit. Peters had canceled her read-through because of this newest happenings.
"Jo?"
"What?" She said in weak voice. They had went to dinner at Rosemary's the other night and had a ball. The only thing bad about the night was when they came home all happy, they still had there little pact going on so they both slept on the opposite side of Joey's bed.
"You know you can quit in an instant right?"
"Yeah. But I need to go through with this. I can prevent other woman from having to go through this Pace. I can't quit now." She said as quiet as a little pinked nose mouse.
"Okay Jo. Just remember one thing."
"What that?"
"I am and will always be proud of you. You're doing this not for me or Peters or yourself. But so nobody else will suffer. That's something you can never be disappointed in yourself for. You got it?" Pacey had said this in the most loving and earnest way that Joey had fallen into tears with his honesty and love.
"Thank you Pace"
