Disclaimer: I own nothing that deals with Tru calling yadda yadda yadda bla bla bla. Ya'll know the drill.

Tru awoke to the sound of the phone ringing. To her it sounded like someone was blowing a foghorn right by her ear. She had what she liked to call a Jack induced headache. She had tossed and turned endlessly last night thinking about what had happened with Jack the night before. She actually woke up screaming after she had a nightmare involving him. It rang again. Groaning she blindly groped for the phone.

"Unggh." She answered.

"Morning Tru." Harrison's voice replied a little too cheerfully. " I see you haven't had your dose of caffeine yet."

Tru rubbed her eyes and glanced at her alarm clock.

"Harry it's 7:30 in the morning and I'm on vacation, trust me caffeine has nothing to do with it."

" Sorry I just got your message. You said it was important so what's the what?" He sounded concerned.

"It seems our friend Jack followed me here, which makes me think he's either turned into a perverted stalker, or he knows something I don't. And I'd prefer the latter."

Harrison swore softly. " Did he touch you? Do you want me to come up there, I can be there in about five hours. Provided I break a few speed limits. I'll kick his-"

"Harrison" she cut him off. "Don't worry I can take care of myself."

"Famous last words." She heard him mutter. "I don't like the idea of you up there all alone with that lunatic running around."

"I'll be fine. Besides you'll be here the day after tomorrow, no need to make you make you leave work early just to come up here." She said sounding a lot more confident then she felt.

"Fine." He said not sounding convinced. "But promise you'll call me if anything happens, I mean it Tru, if you even scrape your knee. I wanna know about it."

Tru started to tell him about last night but then thought the better of it. No need to worry him.

"Okay, I promise, scouts honor." She said holding up two fingers.

" Tru you got kicked out of girl scouts for fighting do you really expect me to believe you'd uphold the girl scouts law and keep your promise." He said dryly.

"Well yeah, but you've got my word how's that?" She asked.

"It'll have to be enough" He sighed. " I have to go Tru my targets about to make his move." She could hear him start his car in the background.

"Okay, be careful bro."

"Same to you, bye."

Tru flopped back down on the bed clutching the phone to her chest. She hoped that she had made the right decision by lying to Harrison. Anyway it was not like she was lying technically she was only withholding certain parts of the story. She just didn't want Harrison to worry and mess up his job. She knew working for their dad gave him a sense of pride. She refused to have him fired over her. No she would be just fine. So why did she still have that eerie feeling that someone was watching her.

A few hours later Tru was making her way down to the main cabin. She figured she would rent a boat for the afternoon. She walked slowly taking the time to check out her surroundings. The deep blue sky seemed to make the trees stand out more. The vibrant colors swirled together creating a soothing effect. She felt as if she had walked into a Normal Rockwell painting. The water sparkled as if someone had spilled a million diamond and they had scattered across the ground.

By the time she arrived at the main cabin she was feeling completely relaxed. She never had time to look at nature when she was home. She was to busy saving lives, or going to class or going to the morgue. Not too much play time left over. When she sauntered into the cabin, the bell positioned above the door announced her arrival. She suddenly wished she had opted for a more conservative outfit, she was feeling a little underdressed. She waltzed up to the counter pretending not to notice the watchful eyes following her. After she rang the bell a few times a handsome man about her age appeared.

"Hello Miss. What can I do for you." He asked politely.

"You can tell me what a girls gotta do to get a boat around here, Matt." She replied reading his name tag.

"Well, Ms…" He trailed off.

"Davies, but you can call me Tru." She filled in.

" Well Tru all you've got to do is fill out this paperwork out, choose your boat, and you'll be all set." He slid a few sheets across the desk.

She smiled widely and began filling out the paper work.

Ten minutes later she and Matt were trekking through the woods in the direction of the lake. Matt's long strides were hard for her to match so she trailed behind him, not that she minded. She liked the view, and it wasn't the lake she was thinking about.

"Are you okay back there?" Matt asked over his shoulder.

Tru's eyes snapped back up the the back of his sandy blond head.

" Umm yeah I ,I'm fine." She stuttered.

She didn't think he would appreciate her oggoling his backside. It was pretty nice, she cocked her head to the side. He must work out a lot. She thought to herself.

"So which one do you want?" He asked a few minutes later snapping her out of her daydream.

She hadn't even realized they had arrived at the lake. Unconsciously she reached up to make sure she wasn't drooling. She wasn't.

" Let's see." She said looking around. "I'll take that one over there." She pointed to a small powder blue boat at the end of the dock.

" Really." He smiled. " I would have taken you for a more classy boat kind of girl, like that one." She followed his gaze to a large pale green motor boat.

"Well what can I say I'm low maintenance." She took a step closer to Mattwithout breaking their gaze.

"That's good, High maintenance girls are too hard to please. So your boyfriend must hate being away from you for more than an hour, I know I would."

She didn't miss the question in his voice.

"Yeah we're basically joined at the hip." She lied

" Oh I see." Matt looked completely crestfallen.

"I'm just kidding, No boyfriend." She smiled and placed her hand on his forearm.

"Really?" He asked smiling.

"Really." She laughed.

They stared at each other for a few moments. Tru thought he might try to kiss her, that's if she didn't kiss him first. She mentally went over a list of things she had consumed in the last five hours. Nothing containing garlic, she was all set.

"Well." Matt cleared his throat. "I've got to get back to work. Here are the keys." He placed the keys in her palm his fingers lingering a few moments longer than necessary. " I'll see you around okay."

"Yeah, I'll be around." She replied coyly.

She watched until he faded into the distance, then turned around climbing onto the boat. She shook her head. The last thing she needed was a guy to screw with her 'alone time'.

Then again, Matt was kind of cute.

"Whatever happens in Clarkdale stays in Clarkdale." She pulled her sunglasses down and gunned the engine.

She didn't stop thinking about Matt until she reached the center of the lake.
