Cameron dabbed her tears that poured from the corners of her eyes. She smiled slightly and began to laugh nervously. "This is useless…really, really useless…"

Chase draped an arm around Cameron, gently rubbing her back. "I know the police were useless. But—"

"No, not the police. I mean, yes, they were useless but—uhh…damn." Cameron took a deep breath and she settled into Chase's arms. "I meant me crying. I'm not getting anything done like this."

"And it took you about fifteen minutes to realize that?" Chase smiled innocently at her, his bright smile and puppy dog eyes didn't fool Cameron.

She punched him in the arm with enough force to prompt an 'ouch' from Chase. "That was incredibly mean to say."

Chase rubbed his arm. "I'm mean? I'm the victim here. You punched me after all."

Cameron laughed and then took a deep breath. She fell into a sudden silence. "What am I going to do?"

"Absolutely nothing."

Cameron flung her head around. "Nothing?! Are you kidding me? How can I do nothing? Have you lost your mind? Why don't we wait until this person kills me instead?"

"Relax." Chase pulled her back down to the couch and settled her in his arms. She squirmed uneasily. "It's actually a really good plan. Just listen."

----------------------------

Cameron was sitting on a scenic bench in the middle of the hospital's campus. The trees hung overhead and the clouds billowed in the sky. She stared at the hospital and was remembering working with House. It was a frustrating job, but she still missed it and longed for those complex cases and House's ever overbearing presence.

There was a rustle behind her, but Cameron remained unaffected. "Dr. Cameron?"

She spun around and knew exactly who would greet her. "Mr. Parks. What an unpleasant surprise."

"You really need to listen to me, Dr. Cameron." His voice was stern and his appearance was actually the most cleaned up that he had ever been.

"Do I? I know exactly what you are doing and you need to stop, ok? I can't have you stalking me all of the time. But I know that right now you wouldn't dare to make any move." Cameron gestured to all of the people in the area that were walking and jogging. "Too many witnesses, so I'm safe right now."

Mr. Parks scoffed at her. "You're kidding right? You really don't know what is going on, do you?"

Cameron stared dumbfounded at him. "What are you talking about? I know exactly what is going on. I could call the cops at any minute, Mr. Parks. It's unsafe for you to be here. You can leave me be or I can make that simple three number call."

Mr. Parks rubbed the back of his head. "I have been trying forever to find some way to talk to you without letting anyone around me know what I was alluding to. I'm not the stalker that you have been looking for."

Cameron got up from the bench that she was sitting on and back up a few steps. "What the hell are you talking about?! All of the things you have said to me, following me, and even shooting me with a BB gun?!"

"I might be following you…but I can assure you that I am in no way stalking you. I'm only trying to protect you."

Cameron shook her head. No, no, no. This isn't true. He's only trying to cover his tracks. "Nice try, but I know that's not true. You must be a psych patient or something…"

Mr. Parks just smiled at Cameron. He even laughed a little. "Deny it all you wish, but your real stalker is closer than you think. Even closer than me. I can help you, Dr. Cameron. You just have to let me."

"No." He's lying. He has to be just using mind games to reel me in. Isn't he? "I don't want your help. Just leave me alone, ok?"

"Fine, I will."

Cameron turned around and began to walk away. "Good and stay away."

Before Cameron vanished from sight, Mr. Parks called out to her. "It's not just the one stalker, Dr. Cameron! They're all in on it!"

------------------------------

"And then he mentioned something about 'them all being in on it'."

Chase hadn't even taken a sip from his coffee. He and Cameron were seated in a local coffee shop. "Maybe…maybe he isn't lying."

Cameron slammed down her coffee cup. "Don't tell me that you are buying this! There is no way that he's telling the truth."

Chase shrugged his shoulders. "Then again maybe he was." Cameron shot him a glance. "Look, we have to look at this situation from as many different perspectives as possible. It is something that we need to take into consideration. We'll see how the rest of the day pans out."

"Alright, I guess you're right." Cameron sat there and stared into her coffee for a while.

Chase waved his hand in front of her face, she didn't respond. So he started to stare into her coffee with her. She looked up at him, "What are you doing?"

"Trying to see what is so interesting about your coffee. You have been staring at it for awhile."

"I'm just wondering…if Parks wasn't lying, then who is everyone that is in on this stalking plot?"

Chase shook his head and reached for Cameron's hand. "How about we stop thinking about this for a while and have a little fun."

"Like what?"

"You know…"

Cameron looked around the packed coffee shop. She lowered her voice to a whisper. "You mean sex…here?"

Chase shook his head, "Not right here. This place has a single bathroom."

Cameron eyed him suspiciously. "People will notice if we both go in at the same time."

He just smiled at her. "Then I'll go in first and you can come in five, maybe ten, minutes later."

Cameron just laughed. "Maybe I could use a little fun…"
