A couple hours had gone by, and Ryan and Marissa had finished eating and were aimlessly walking up the pier hand in hand. The two had been walking for a while and found themselves at the end of the pier. Ryan noticed a bench seated against the railing and led Marissa over to it so they could sit down. Ryan had his arm draped around Marissa's shoulder and Marissa was leaning into Ryan, the two staring out at the ocean.

Marissa: I can't believe this summer is almost over.

Ryan: I know; it flew by.

Marissa: It worked out though…

Marissa looked up at Ryan.

Marissa: …I never thought that my summer would be like this.

Ryan smiled.

Ryan: Me either.

The two sat there for a little while longer making some small talk about Sandy and Kirsten coming home and the trip coming up, but mostly they just sat together in silence. Eventually the two got up and started walking back up the pier towards Marissa's car. They were walking slowly, in no particular rush to go anywhere, when suddenly Marissa stopped walking. Ryan got a few steps in front of her and then turned and looked back at Marissa.

Ryan: What's wrong?

Ryan stepped closer to Marissa.

Marissa: Is that my mom?

Ryan looked around the pier but didn't see anybody.

Ryan: Where?

Marissa: Right in front of us, sitting at that table on the patio.

Ryan finally spotted Julie and stared at her. She was sitting alone at what seemed to be a secluded table sipping a drink.

Marissa: God, I can't deal with her right now.

Ryan looked over at Marissa and then back towards Julie again. Julie wasn't even looking in their direction, although it did look like she was looking for someone. Almost immediately, a man that Ryan had seen before appeared by Julie's table and sat down. Ryan immediately grabbed Marissa's hand and led her off to the side of the pier next to a small store, so they wouldn't be seen. Marissa was staring at Ryan confused as Ryan peered out and was watching Julie and the man.

Marissa: What's going on?

Ryan started talking but never took his eyes off of Julie.

Ryan: Do you remember a couple of days ago when that Detective came to the door?

Marissa: Yeah, he wanted to talk to Kirsten right?

Ryan: Yeah, right. Well that's him, sitting with you mom.

Marissa peered out from behind the wall and watched her mother and Detective Sullivan.

Marissa: Maybe they're talking about Caleb's case.

Ryan: No…that's not it.

Marissa: How do you know?

Ryan: This guy isn't trying to help Caleb, he's trying to take him down, and he's trying to drag Kirsten along with him…well, that's what I think anyway.

Marissa: Wow.

Ryan was still staring intently at the table. Julie and the Detective were still talking, Ryan was still watching and a couple minutes later, Julie stood up placing her purse on the table. Julie carefully pulled out a white envelope and placed it on the table sliding it to the middle. With that, Julie pulled out a pair of large sunglasses, placed them on her face and walked away from the restaurant. The Detective waited a beat and then calmly reached for the envelope and placed it in the inside pocket of his jacket. He waited a second and then stood up, removing some cash from his pocket and throwing it on the table before turning to leave the restaurant. He walked in the opposite direction Julie had gone. He was walking towards Ryan and Marissa. Ryan watched him as long as he could, and then pinned Marissa up against the wall and kissed her. Ryan turned his back towards the pier and the Detective walked past them not noticing Ryan. Ryan pulled back from Marissa and immediately looked down the pier and saw Detective Sullivan get into his car and drive away. Marissa on the other hand was staring at Ryan. Ryan could feel her eyes on him and turned towards Marissa.

Ryan: Sorry…

Marissa: Don't apologize…you should kiss me like that more often.

Ryan: (Smiling) I'll do my best.

Marissa smiled and took his hand.

Marissa: So…do you think we can go now?

Ryan: Yeah, it should be fine.

Ryan and Marissa emerged from their hiding spot and started walking down the pier once again.

Marissa: That was weird.

Ryan just nodded his head; he was too deep in thought to talk right now. Ryan was desperately trying to work it all out, but it didn't make sense. "Something's going on." Ryan thought in his head. Marissa could tell he had a lot on his mind and the two walked silently up the pier till they got to Marissa's car. Marissa got in the drivers seat and turned the car on.

Marissa: Home?

Ryan: Yeah.

Ryan smiled, Marissa reached over and held on to his hand and the two drove off.
