Chapter 15: Emails N' Guns
Luke's Diner just after the dinner rush…
Lorelai was sitting in Luke's diner; she had just finished eating and was waiting for Luke to bring her a piece of pie for dessert. Lorelai was the only customer in the diner, well almost. Kirk was sitting in the far corner browsing his new and improved toilet paper holder catalogue. He tried to sell some to Luke but Luke threatened to ban him from the diner for life if he didn't sit down and shut up.
"Here's your pie. Do you want some more coffee?" Luke asked as he came up to Lorelai who looked exceptionally sad today. Ever since Rory left Lorelai had been really sad, she missed her little girl, and she hadn't heard from her yet. Lorelai had sent her a simple email a couple days after they left but she hadn't gotten a reply yet and that scared her.
"Coffee would be great, thanks Luke" Lorelai said not looking up at him.
"Have you heard from Rory yet?"
"No not yet, although I've been really busy at the inn and I haven't had time to check my email."
"Well why don't I wrap this pie up for you and you can take it home and go see if she has emailed you." Luke suggested, although Lorelai wasn't really listening she was thinking about Rory.
"I bet she's having an awful time. I mean she is in a small town in Canada what is she going to do there? I bet her and Tristin are just sitting there doing nothing because there is nothing fun to do." Lorelai started to ramble.
"Have you heard anything I have been saying to you? And have you forgotten where we live?" questioned Luke
"What do you mean? I haven't forgotten where we live."
"Well we live in a small town and we find things to keep us occupied."
"Well we have Hartford close by."
"And they have the beach and Victoria is only 40 minutes away. There are lots for them to do." Luke said.
"How do you know how close Victoria is?" Lorelai asked suspiciously
"I looked it up. I was curious as to where they were staying."
"Oh"
"Yeah now go home and check your email."
"Humph, Fine." Lorelai said as she picked up her purse and walked out the diner door.
"I'll see you tonight after I close." Luke called after her

Lorelai got home and she went straight to the computer. She logged onto her email account and it told her she had two new messages.
"YAY! My baby emailed me!" Lorelai shouted into the empty house. Eager to read what her daughter wrote her she clicked on the first message. It read:
To: Lorelai
From: Rory
Subject: Hi Mom!
Hi Mom! How are you? I miss you soooooo much. I wish you were here with me. You should see Janlan's summer home. It's like a castle. And I love my room; I can't believe you guys decorated it like my old room at home. Thank you so much mom. Can you thank Luke for sending me the coffee, it arrived the other day. Miri (She's our cook) really likes it as well.
I can't wait to start school tomorrow. I made Tristin wait a week to start with me because I didn't want to do it alone. He said he would rather go with me anyway. I'm excited about it, but I'm still a little scared, this is the second new school I have had to go to this school year. I wish you were here with me.
It rains a lot here. It has been raining all week so I haven't been able to see the area we are staying at, But Tristin says it really nice. If you look out the window you can see Mount Baker. Tristin promised to take me to see Hell's Gate during the summer. It's a big gorge and you take a tram across it.
I really like living here. I didn't think I would because it was so far away from you. I do really miss you and I wish you could be here with me. Maybe you could come and visit us? You could bring Luke. I would really love that.
I have decided to not think about Dean, but I was wondering if you could fill me in. Has anything happened on that front?
I'll email you again tomorrow about how my first day of school was. I love you mom, Hope to see you soon.
Love Rory.
Lorelai was crying by the time she finished reading this email. Her baby was living somewhere else and loving it. She did say that she missed her but it still hurt to know that your baby could live somewhere without and be happy about it.
Lorelai got up to go make some coffee. She needed to take a break before she read the next email. She sat down at the kitchen table thinking about the email. She knew her daughter deserved to be happy. She had been shot for crying out loud. Lorelai decided that no matter what she would be happy for her daughter no matter where she was in the world. With that decided she got up and went back to the computer to read the next email. This one read:
To: Lorelai
From: Rory
Subject: My first day of school!
Hey mom,
I had a great day. Tristin and I get to drive around in the coolest car. It's a black 2005 Jaguar XK Coupe. It awesome, I never thought I would be in one of these.
Anyway about school. The uniforms are nicer they are blue, green and black. The material is softer to. We met the headmaster he is so much nicer then Charleston. I thought that this guy would flip out because of Tristin and I starting so later in the semester and because of the circumstances we are arriving under. But he was totally cool about it.
Our lockers are right next to each other's. Which is great. And we have all of the same classes. This morning a guy who has his locker next to Tristin's introduced himself to us and it turns out that he is one of Tristin's old friends from when he came here with his grandfather. His name is Jake and his girlfriend Korah is really nice, Tristin new her as well. They were all best friends, but then when Tristin left the last time they didn't keep in touch. Anyway I think Korah is going to be a great friend. We have made plans to hang out this weekend; I don't know what were doing yet thought.
Some of the other guys at the school are jerks like the other Chiltonites, but I have Tristin to put them in place. There is this one guy his name is Gabe. He seems to be the Jerk leader but he's afraid of Jake. It's really kind of funny.
I really love this school mom. It's so much nicer than Chilton. It's so welcoming. I wish you could see it. Tell everyone hi for me. I miss you and love you lots.
Love Rory.
At the end of this email, Lorelai was happy. Her daughter actually liked where she was going to school. And she had friends there. At Chilton she didn't have any friends. Well except for Tristin. Lorelai decided to email her daughter back. Telling her how proud she was of her and how much she loved her and missed her. And how that sadly there was no news regarding the Dean issue. Lorelai turned off the computer and went to bed.

In New Mexico…
Dean just finished eating and was now putting the first part of his plan into action. He picked up the phone and dialed the number of one of his friends back in Chicago.
"Speak" The voice on the other end said.
"Masterson? Is that you?" Dean asked
"Forrester? What's up man?" Masterson said
"Not much, I've got to take care of some business though, do you think you could hook me up?
"Sure thing. Is this about that girl?"
"Yeah, she wouldn't listen to me, now I've got to get rid of her."
"Man I hate women. They don't do anything you ask them to."
"I know, she's got a new guy now, He's the problem, I'm gonna waste them both."
"Well tell me where to meet you and I'll be there with the stuff."
"Excellent. Thanks man. Meet me in the motel, room number 7 in Apache Creek New Mexico."
"Sure I'll be there in a few days see ya."

3 Day's later…
Dean had been waiting patiently for his friend to get there with his merchandise. He had known Jimmy Masterson since they were boys, they were like brothers. Masterson was a few years older then Dean, so he was like the big brother and if Dean ever needed anything Masterson would get it for him. In this case Dean needed another gun and some ammunition.
Dean was watching TV when there was a knock on the door. He got up to go answer it.
"Masterson, It's good to see you." Dean said as he greeted his long time friend.
"You to Forrester." Jimmy said as he let himself into the motel room.
"I have the stuff you asked for, do you have the money?"
"Yeah it's right here." Dean handed Jimmy the money and he gave him the bullet's and gun.
"Are you gonna crash here tonight?" Dean asked
"No I have another delivery to make. So I gotta jet." Masterson said.
"Well thanks for bringing this. It was good to see you. I'll come to visit when I've taken care of this."
"Great, stop by anytime."
"Okay, see you soon." Dean said as Jimmy left and he closed the door.
Phase 1 of his plan was now complete.
A/N: I hope you liked this chapter! Tell me what you think. I don't know anything about guns or bullets so I didn't go into detail about it. But I'm sure you understood what I was trying to say!
Thanks for all of the reviews. I love you guys!
