Stephanie and Hunter drove to her office in silence. Hunter didn't have a clue about

what to say to her. When they finally got there, they took an elevater to the top

floor. They got off and Hunter followed her to an office. He looked around. There was

pictures everywhere and paper was everywhere.

"nice....place" he said

"yeah but very unorganized" she said

Steph got on her computer and started typing. Hunter saw some pictures hanging on the

wall and looked at them. They were of Steph, Sydney, and Mitch at the bar.She looked

pretty happy. Then a young man walked into the room.

"what are you doing here Steph?" he asked

"got those photos back, I have to put them on file" she answered not looking up from her

computer

"well who is your friend here?" he asked looking at Hunter

"he's an old friend from back home" she said now looking up. "ok I'm done, we can go now

Hunter" she said

"ok lets go" Hunter said

"bye John" Steph said as she left the office with Hunter

They drove to a nice diner, and sat down to talk.

"so are you seeing anyone?" Hunter asked

"nope, I've been on my own for awhile now, well, besides living with Mitch" she said

"whats with your other job?" he asked not wanting it to come out like that

Steph laughed, "just something to pay the bills, not what I really want, I'm quiting as

soon as this case is over"

"so you would be working at the bar full time?" he asked

"yup, when are you going back on the road?" she asked

"the day after tomorrow, but I don't really want to leave"

"well, we could keep in touch, its not like your not gonna see me again"

"yeah, hey maybe next time I'm in town, you can come to one of the shows"

"yeah I would like that, I'm not moving anytime soon"

~~~~~~~~later that night~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hunter just walked into the hotel room and saw Ric sitting there.

"so how was your date?" he asked

"it wasn't a date, and it was fun seeing her again"

"well, her life must suck working in a bar"

"nope she has another better job, and it pays good"

"Hunter, we are leaving soon, your probally not gonna see her again"

"yeah I know, but we're gonna keep in touch"

"yeah, like that really ever works"

~~~~~~~~~~~the day when Hunter leaves~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"bye Hunter" Steph said as she hugged him. Hunter had come to the bar to say goodbye

"bye, take care of yourself" he said hugging her tight

"I will, remember to call me sometime" she said

Hunter left the bar.

"oh poor Stephanie, we still love you" said Mitch as he came up behind her

"what, I'm not that effected" she said tring to hide her sadness

"ok then" Mitch said as he picked Stephanie up and threw her over his shoulder

"put me down" she yelled as she kicked and screamed

"nope!!! not until you say it , you like him"

"fine fine put me down"

Mitch put her down and smiled

"Its not like I'm ever gonna see him again" she said

"yeah you will" Mitch said as he left the room

Steph thought about it and knew she might see him again. The thing she didn't know was that

they would see each, but not on good terms.
