A.N.: This chapter is dedicated, once again, to Acidic-Lover for being the first reviewer to my last chapter. Some people did guess as to where the pit stop was to and nobody was right. Oh well. I would like to say a special thank you to my reviewers who have reviewed to every chapter: Acidic-Lover, Anywien, and nikki007.

Acidic-Lover: You'll find out where the pit stop is and thanks so much for the review.

Quietly Losing Control: I like keeping my readers in suspense. But, Jess will meet everyone in this chapter as well as the next and maybe so more into the one after that. So it will take me about three chapters to get her to meet everyone.

Molz: Where'd you get Dunkin' Donuts from? I would say more, but you didn't give me much to comment on.

Anywien: Yeah that's why I said that drawing it out might help. That's what I did when I was writing. I suck? Sorry I made you wait, but it takes me a little while to write these chapters. And it would count; I wouldn't care.

moovalous3: No, you never reviewed to this story. Yeah, there was no way that Jess would have no gotten a bike.

Bigcats234: Thanks so much for the review.

nikki007: There will never be any Brad and Jess in this story. I was just saying about Brad's little crush. It will never go anywhere, I promise you that.

madmaddy: Yeah, they would definitely argue over that. And if you're annoyed about me not saying about what happened between Jess and Rob then you'll have to be annoyed for a while longer because I'm not ready to disclose that information.

Nikita1506: I know you want more and so I will give it to you!

nikkibakamoviebuff: It's hard considering a lot of people are telling me I need to go faster while others are saying slower or that I'm doing it just fine. And I really did want to rush the plane scene because I wanted to get to Jess meeting everyone.

KatieKat19: Thanks so much for the sympathy and compliments. And your guess is wrong, sorry. Read on.

Long Time, No See

We stopped in a parking lot on the outskirts of town. Everyone stepped out of the van and I heard Andy ask, 'Where are we?"

"An old hang out of mine." I answered as I stepped closer to the entrance of Chick's Bar and Grill. "Jesse, can you just keep Kat for a little while?"

"Of course, Jessica." Damn, why can't he just call me Jess like everyone else.

I rolled my eyes and walked into the dimly lit room. I looked around and saw some people sitting down a few booths away having a good time as well as a heavy man standing behind the counter.

"Hey, you kids can't be in here." The large guy at the counter said pointedly at David and Kat. But that statement seemed to attract the attention of almost all of the people in there.

"Aw, come on Chick. Let them stay. I promise they'll be good." I took a few steps closer to him so he could see me better.

His eyebrows went way up. "Do I know you?" The other guys in the bar looked a little curious as to who I was as well as the people with me.

I pretended to cry and said, "Chick, I can't believe you don't remember me. Me, your favorite person in the whole wide world."

He stepped out from behind the counter and waddled closer to us. I looked up into his eyes when he was right in front of me and he said, "It's good to see you again little lady."

I gave him a big hug before asking for a round of Coke's and a glass of apple juice for Kat.

I turned back to everyone and they were looking at me with questions in their eyes. "I'll answer your questions later. Let's just have some fun now."

I noticed two people looking our way and yelled over the music, "Hey, Wendell, Wylie, get your lazy asses over here."

To say they looked surprised would be an understatement. They slowly got up and took the five steps over to us. "Who the hell are you and how do you know our names?"

"You to. Oh my God, how many people forgot me here." I looked at them straight in the eyes and punched them each in the gut. Not hard, I swear.

"Jessica, what do you think you're doing?" Helen didn't like it. She looked frantic. I swear, I thought she was going to have a heart attack. On the other hand, everyone else looked amused.

Wendell answered for me and said in a strangled voice, "Don't worry about it ma'am. You're obviously not from around here."

"Mastriani, have you gone light these past few years. You punch like a girl." Wylie was obviously trying to make a joke, but it didn't seem that funny to me. Although, Jake, Brad, and David found it hilarious.

Instead of beating him to a bloody pulp I just laughed and gave them big hugs. I then proceeded to make introductions before going to the table where they came from.

"I see some things never change. You guys are still here." I nodded to them all and sat in Wylie's lap.

Wendell obviously didn't like this arrangement considering he decided to pick me up and put me in his lap. Which, incidentally, started a full out 'I want Jess' war.

One of the other guys at the table asked, "Who's the kid?"

I was laughing so hard that Nina had to answer for me, "She's Jay's. Her name's Kat."

"Did you ever get married?" Wylie asked. Evidently they had grown up since I had last seen them.

I shook my head.

"I figured you wouldn't. Wilkins was just too much for you huh?" I really didn't feel like hearing his name right then.

"Shut up."

"Anyway, if you're not married, then who's her dad?" Wendell had his eyebrows raised. I should have told them before I left, but I didn't think about it before I left.

"I'll tell you this: Her full name is Kathleen Marie Wilkins if that gives you any hints."

Wendell and Wylie looked from me to her and back and force until Wendell reached over and picked her out of Jesse's arms and said, "Well hello little one. I'm your Uncle Hank. Oh, you are so cute."

"So anyway, what are you doing in Indiana? You left off a while ago and haven't been seen or heard from since." Wylie asked while Wendell was still cooing over my darling baby girl.

"I'm here on official business, not personal."

"What do you mean by official?" They all sounded interested. What can I say? I guess I'm just an interesting gal.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my badge and I opened it up so they could see.

"Mastriani I can't believe you! You work for the freakin' FBI? What the-"

"Hey watch the language in front of my kid."

One of the other guys sitting around said, "I never would've pegged you for one of them."

I shrugged uncomfortably and said, "Things change."

Just then Wylie yelled across the room and said, "Wilkins, get you're a-s-s over here." Well, at least he was watching his language. But it was the name that put the Goosebumps on my arms and the tingle down my spine. I could practically feel him walking closer.

I turned towards the family and said, "We should go." I grabbed Kat from Wylie and stood up only to find that my nose was practically touching Rob's chest.

"Jess..."

A.N.: How about them apples? Anyway, I updated and I thank everyone for the reviews. They were awesome and this is my second update today. Now, that is awesome.
