A/N Ugg, I've had a really bad morning. My printer just died on me.

Disclaimer: see previous

I awoke before the crack of dawn eager to get started. I

forced myself to swallow some coffee. I hurried to my car and drove

as fast as I dared to the crime lab parking lot and parked near the

back. I knew I was going to be waiting for a while so I started on my

project. I pulled out a newspaper and began my work. Using a

bottle of red paint I marked the paper. After I finished, I walked

inside to pick up Maryanne for our lunch date. I took her to her Loino

for pizza and cola. I showed her the completed image and she

smiled at me. I told her I would deliver it tonight and she insisted on

joining me. Once again I smiled and thought how lucky I am to have

met Maryanne. She said she would meet me outside at 6. I drove her

back and settled in for a long day with a good book. I watched as

several people came and went in their Hummers. Finally 6:00 rolled

around, and just like she said, Maryanne sauntered over to my car.

We sat in silence and watched the front door. Then she appeared

and strolled over to her car, oblivious to the fact that two people

were watching her. As she pulled out of the parking lot, I started the

engine and followed behind her. I was careful to keep a distance

away in case she got suspicious. 25 minutes later she stopped at a

decent looking house and got out. I parked down the street and

acted like I lived there. Maryanne and I talked about any and

everything. She told me she has 4 siblings all boys and all older than

her. I figured that's where she got her determined spirit from. We

laughed and talked about all her favorite memories. Finally at about

11 o'clock the lights in her house went out. I waited for a few

moments before easing out of the car. I stealthily crept up her

walkway and positioned the paper just right. I had it turned so that

the first thing she saw would be a picture of a random little girl that

slightly resembled Arianna. I had the letter A painted on the front in

blood red letters. I hurried back to the car and silently pulled away

from the curb. I only wished I could see the look on the brunette's

face when she opened her door.

A/N Well I finally did it, I selected Arianna's look alike
