"Yep, i figured if i offered to give them the money they would refuse it. This way they think there was a loop hole covering them for a while. That way they get there business back, and i can sleep better at night." Dawson says.

"Ok now that you have that figured out. What was that kiss i just saw back there? Man that kiss could have set an ocean on fire." Pacey asks.

"Yeah well it was something we shouldn't have done, at least not yet. I have some unfinished business to attend to before that can happen." Dawson simple states.

"But it is going to happen isn't it?" Pacey asks.

"Yeah Pace, i think it finally is going to happen and this time i think it will be for good." Dawson says with a twinkle in his eyes.

THE LEERY'S HOUSE 24 HRS LATER

Dawson,Joey, Bessie,Bodie and the Leerys are all sitting at the table discussing things when Dawson gets a phone call.

"Hello. Yeah doug. Ok, are you sure. Really. You bet. No i think it will work out. Ok sure i will tell everyone. And Doug thanks again." Dawson hangs up the phone, and turns to everyone and says. "Ok so where were we." He gets this huge smile on his face when they all look at him like he has lost his mind. "Oh you guys probable want to know what Doug said, don't you."

"Well yeah we are kind of interested about it." Joey says smacking his arm playfully.

"Oh ok, well it seems the FBI caught Mark trying to leave the state. He is on his way to jail as we speak and Doug seems to think it will be an open and shut case. Since they found all of the things to make more bombs at the appartment. I'm sorry Joey he did burn all of your things, Doug found a few pictures and a couple of other things, but that was about it." Dawson enlightens them

"Yeah i knew he would, No biggie i am homeless and clotheless." She says

Dawson reaches into his walet and hands Joey a credit card. "Here take this and go shopping, get all the things you are going to need for a little while. Later this week we can go to new York and rebuild your wordrobe."

"Dawson i can't allow you to spend your hard earned money on me. I will be fine. I'll figure something out, about clothes and a place to stay." Joey says as she tries to hand the card back.

"No Joey trust me i have plenty of money, and why have all of it if you can't help a friend in need." Dawson says.

"Joey you are not homeless, i told you you will be staying here till things work themselves out." Mitch tells her. "And no arguing. In fact you can all stay here till we figure out what to do about the B&B."

At this time there is a knock on the door. Dawson answers it, seeing the insurence guy there he winks at him and allows him in.

"Bessie, Bodie, there is someone here to see you." Dawson announces

They walk into the frontroom and see who it is and are confussed a little by his presence here.

"Mr. Brand what do we owe the pleasure of this vist to?" Bessie asks.

"Well Ms. Potter it seems that you were still under covrage when the explosion took place. Your police didn't fully expire till midnight lastnight. So i just want to bring this by for you." Mr. Brand says, handing her an envelope.

Bessie opens it and sits down hard on to one of the chairs. "Oh my God, this can't be right can it?"

"I am afraid so Ms. Potter. That is what your B&B was valued at. I have all of the statistics right here if you would care to go over them."

Bodie looks at the $1.5 million dollar check and shakes his head. "NO -No i don't think that will be neccesary. Thank you so much for this."

"Ok well i am going to go i need to do a few other things. When you get your new one built come see me and i will give you a great deal." Mr. Brand says as he goes to leave.

"Let me walk you out." Dawson says

Once they get outside Dawson shakes his hand and smiles at him before saying. "Thanks for that i knew it would work. Tell your cousin to report to my studio first thing mondy morning they have been told to expect him."

"Thank you Mr. Leery it has been a pleasure, besides i really want to see them do well."

"Yeah me too, you have a good day and thanks again." Dawson tells him as he gets in the car and drives away.

"Some how i thought you were behind this." Joey says from the door. Shaking his card at him.
