A/N: Awians-glad you all liked everything, and hope you keep looking
forward to the story. Until next time-I'm trying to catch up to Gracie in
chapters but it's pretty much impossible at this point-PCGirl.

Rafe was working on some paperwork sitting on the couch when he heard the front door open. Looking over he just gave a slight smile, "Good morning, Jasmine," he said putting the paperwork beside and getting up to give her a hug.
"Wow, that wasn't the greeting I was expecting," she said giving a smile.
"Well, I know you-and I know you are nothing like your sister. So what brings you by?"
"I wanted to apologize for last night," she said biting her lip.
"Apologize for what?" he said getting confused.
"For not coming by when I first got in town. I should have told you Myra was on her way, but instead I decided to get a job at where I knew she would show up."
"Hey, that's no problem. All it would have done for me and Caleb is put us on our toes more. We know she's here now, and we're just going to wait a bit and see her first move. Do you have any idea what it may be?"
---------
"So what do you think of Jasmine?" asked Imani as she sat at the bar eating a bowl of fruit she brought from home.
"She's ok, I suppose."
"You know she's new in town, I'm sure she will probably need someone to show her around here. Like where the best restaurants are. Maybe you should offer to show her around."
"I'm sure her friends Caleb and Rafe will show her around," he said not realizing what Imani was getting at.
"She knows Rafe and Caleb?"
"Yeah, that's what she told me last night. It kinda upsets me because it makes me realize again that no matter what we try to do in this town we're still stuck with those two losers," he said dropping a glass.
"Just because she knows them from before doesn't mean she's bad news, Jack."
"We'll see," he said going in the back to get a broom.
--------
"What dirt we can dig up on Alison Barrington-Kovich," said Myra as she walked around her room slowly as she tried to flashback to possible points of interest. As she speaks we see the events occur again, "Framed for a murder that never happened, slight interest into witchcraft, hmm-stabbed Rafe almost killing him, and-wow-slept with Caleb," she said finishing the flashback. "A little too goody-goody to do my dirty work."
----------
"All I know is it has to do with you four," she said as she heard footsteps on the stairs and saw Alison trying to carry a box down the stairs carefully.
"Let me help you," he said coming over to the stairs and taking the box from her arms. "Angel, I want you to meet someone-this is Jasmine. Remember the girl from last night?"
"Which one-Tonya?" she asked with a grin on her face.
"Very funny," he laughed. "The one after the show, Myra. Anyways, this is Myra's sister-Jasmine. She's working at the Trinity with Imani as a waitress."
"Have you known Caleb and Rafe long?"
"Yeah," she said with a grin. "Listen I've got to get to work. I will let you know if I learn anything else, Rafe."
"Thanks Jasmine. I'll let Caleb know also," he said as he watched her leave.
"Is everything ok?" asked Alison.
"Yeah, I think things may go a lot smoother now."
-------
"You guys can be such-such morons," yelled Imani as she came barging into the bike shop, not realizing Jamal was with a customer. "Oh, I'm, so sorry," she said embarrassed beyond belief as she kept going into the backroom. "No-I don't like her, because she's connected to Caleb and Rafe," she said imitating Jack. "Don't you get it Jack? We're all connected to these two, and you are going to have to deal with it. We have to look beyond who people are connected to, and see who they are on the inside."
"Anyone ever tell you that you are extremely sexy when you are frustrated?" grinned Jamal as he leaned against the door.
"No, I don't think so," she laughed. "Did I ruin a job for you?"
"Nah, he's still going to use me. So what's with all the frustration?"
"Your best friend, he needs his head examined. I asked him what he thought about Jasmine. And you know what he told me? No, because she knows Caleb and Rafe. We all know Caleb and Rafe-you know? I mean I finally found this girl that seems to be perfect for him, and just because she knows Mr. Big Bat and his cohort Jack won't take a second look at her-at least not in the romantic sense."
"Well, we'll just find someone else to hook him up with."
"No, it's Jasmine or nobody-I've just got to make him realize it."
---------
"Let's see about Mrs. Morley." (flashbacks again) "She's killed Caleb, framed Alison for murder, (laughing) married Rafe to get revenge on Alison, poisoned Alison's bathwater, gave away Alison's hiding place from a Joshua Temple, tried to kill her by dropping a light on her head, and stole the Morley-family ring from Caleb."
"Caleb, you've made this way too easy," grinned Myra.
