Fitz looked in on Nancy and Frank in disgust. He thought that he had put a kink in their relationship. But there they were, making out on the couch for everyone to see. Mocking him. Apparently they had figured he was watching them.
Well, he wouldn't stand for it. Nancy would not play him. He wouldn't allow it.
Fitz quietly moved away from the window. The cops were watching the place and he knew that they were also making rounds. And he couldn't take that big of a risk right now. It was too dangerous. But it was so easy to sneak by them. The lame-brained cops never even knew he was there. And this is who she got to protect her friends and family.
Fitz laughed to himself.
He walked into the woods behind Nancy's house and made his way to his Jeep that was parked a couple of blocks away. He got in and drove away.
Maybe he could stick around town for a little bit. That would certainly cause a little bit of trouble.

Nancy slept late the next morning. She walked downstairs into the kitchen to find Frank and Joe sitting at the table eating breakfast.
"Morning." She said.
"Sleep well?" Frank asked.
Nancy nodded. "Like a log. Why did you let me sleep so late?"
"Because it did you some good." Frank said.
"What time did you get up?" Nancy asked, pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"About an hour ago." Frank answered.
Nancy brought her cup of coffee to the table. She gave Frank a kiss and then sat down.
"That sound you're hearing is my breakfast coming back up." Joe said, watching them.
"Get over it, Joe." Frank said."It's only going to get worse once we're married."
"And that's why I'll only visit you maybe twice a year." Joe said. "So, what's on tap for today?"
"I think I want to ride around town. See if maybe I spot Fitz." Nancy said, sipping her coffee.
"That would be a lucky break." Frank said.
"Tell me about it." Nancy said. "But luck hasn't been on our side as of late."
"I told you we would find him, Nancy." Frank said.
Nancy nodded. "I know we will." She got up from the table. "I'm going to go get dressed."
Frank and Joe watched her as she left the kitchen.

"We've been riding around for two hours now, Nancy." Joe said. "We haven't seen him."
"That doesn't mean he's not here." Nancy said. "He's keeping out of sight. He knows that we're looking for him."
Frank looked at his watch. "Look, it's lunch time now. How about we get something to eat and then we'll start looking again."
Nancy didn't want to stop. She was afraid that if she did they would never find him. But she also didn't want to argue. "All right. We might as well." she said.
Frank turned into the local diner and found a parking a spot near the back. The parking lot was filled with people on their lunch break.
They went inside and placed their order at the counter. They then took their seats at a table in the back and waited for their order to come.
When it finally arrived fifteen minutes later, they sat in silence and ate. Just as Nancy was finishing up, she looked out the window and gasped.
Frank looked at her. "What is it, Nan?"
"Oh, my, God." Nancy said, softly.
"Nancy?" Joe asked.
"It's him." Nancy said.
"Who is it?" Frank asked.
Nancy jumped up from her seat. "Fitz." she said. "Frank, Fitz is across the street!"
