Jess opened the door to see a face only a mother could possess. It would be a face he would never forget. Looking up he saw the face of a protector, someone who would always be there, as demonstrated....
"You found the place all right?" Jess of course had no idea what to say. It's not everyday your old girlfriend is stalked by a killer and her mother and other old boyfriend show up on your doorstep. This of course gave him a perfect idea for a new book. "The Dummies Manual to Saving Your Old Girlfriend who's Being Stalked by a Killer" and of course special edition: "Includes Guide on How to Approach her Mother." It could easily be a best seller..
"Don't give me that crap. Where's my daughter."
Ah, the famous Lorelai strikes again... he obviously must have used the wrong line... which is why this book is such a great idea.
"Right in here." He forgot about the book for a minute and guided a worried mother to a terrorized daughter.
"Mom.." Rory could barely get the words out. She had that feeling...like the one you get when you seen someone so dear to you for the first time in years. The only difference was that this was more like a moth at the most. It didn't matter though...to them a week was like a year.
"Oh my god, sweetie are you okay?"
The two ran towards each other and embraces in a mother-daughter hug. Of course the two were masters at it. Just to see her mother caused her to whimper..
"M..om, there's ...no escape."
"Don't worry, it will be alright."
"I'm so scared."
"I know. Hey, I brought coffee from Luke's." Lorelai was in the same boat as Jess and probably everyone in that room. Coffee sounded like a good suggestion.
"Is that supposed to cheer me up?" Rory backed off from the hug and wiped the tears from her face.
"No, but the new dictionary I got you should!"
"Really?"
"No, I thought coffee was good enough."
"Mom.!" Rory let out a laugh. Everyone was dazzled by the sight her smile. It was the second time today... it made everyone feel a little safer. It also made them forget about Adam.
"I know. I don't have coffee either! But I did bring our god of coffee making along."
Luke walked into the room at that exact time.
"Wow, you guys really had this planned!"
"What did I do?"
Luke had an innocent look on his face...he either forgot something or didn't do something.
"Never mind." Lorelai didn't feel like repeating the last few events.
"Luke!"
Rory was a little slow on her greeting. She ran up and hugged him...he was like a father figure to her and it made her feel better to see some familiar faces.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Rory parted from the awkward embrace to answer.
"I hope so."
"Anne, this is Luke, Lorelai and Dean." They all turned to see a clueless Anne. She obviously had no idea who everyone was...
"Hi."
"So what are we going to do?" Luke questioned worriedly.
Jess actually hadn't thought of a plan, but he knew one thing.
"She can't stay here. He just visited us and knows that she's here."
"She can't stay in Stars Hollow, he knows where she lives." Dean hadn't spoken yet, but decided he might as well state the obvious.
"We have to be careful on how we transport her. He's watching at all times."
Jess walked over to the window... "The car is still there."
"It's awkward having all of these people talk about me when I can't do anything to help." Rory whispered to Lorelai who just nodded.
"I know...She can stay with my parents." Lorelai was the first to actually suggest something. It pained her to have to bring Rory to her parents, but she knew that was the only safe option. She couldn't let anything happen to Rory.
"Are you sure Grandma and Grandp.."
Lorelai interrupted her, "They love you like crazy kid, they would do anything for your safety."
"At least call them first." Rory felt reluctant to invade her grandparents lifestyle by dumping this load onto them, she also knew there was no other place she could go.
"Fine. If you insist."
Jess walked over to get the phone. He went to hand it to Lorelai who was preparing for the exhausting explanation that was awaiting her. She could just imagine the questions that her mother would ask. Why didn't we know sooner? Have you called the cops? Who is this man? A yell from Luke interrupted her thoughts.
"Wait!"
"What?....I can't call my parents?"
"The phones may be bugged. Use a cell phone."
"What? That loser got into my house?"
"He could have cameras, microphones, anything." Luke was surprised at how much he actually knew about the subject..
"Here's my phone."
Dean handed Lorelai his cell phone. She opened it and dialed. Everyone was watching her as if the cell phone would blow up any second.
Lorelai held her breath them began talking.
"Hi, mom, it's me Lorelai."
