Chapter 4

Dawson and Pacey are in the video store closing up.

Dawson: Alright Pace I'm headed out. See you at Thanksgiving?

Pacey: Sure thing…but D I gave you a ride.

Dawson: Nikki's here.

He leaves and gets into Nikki's car.

Pacey: JB to ice queen. Come in ice queen.

Joey: Queen here. Talk to me Jailbait.

Pacey: He just left. Hurry or you'll miss him.

Joey starts her car and follows 2 cars behind Dawson.

In Nikki's car

Dawson: We've found his address and I talked to him on the phone. Oh and Joey's following us right now.

Nikki grins in a very sadistic manner.

What Joey thought would be a simple game of "follow that car" turns into the wildest goose chase of her life.

Eventually she loses them at some random turn not knowing that they had turned the tables and were following her.

Joey: Jen I don't know where he is. Contact me when he reaches his house. I'm going to have to return to my closet hiding days.

Jen: Might want to hold off on that one. Jackers is clearly more subtle than you.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving had arrived and this year the festivities were at the Ryan/Lindley household. Attending would be the Witters, Potters, McPhees and Leerys. Before the feast however several teens were gathered at the kitchen table.

Pacey: We know he's been hanging with Nikki Green a lot this year

Andie: They've been "working" on something for sometime now.

Jack: They let themselves in someone else's house. Some old guy's I think.

Jen: Creepy

Phone rings

Joey: Jen the phone rang

Jen: Lindley residence

Dawson: Why is everyone except me at your house?

Jen: Um..no one's stopping you.

Dawson: Actually I am. My parents and I are eating at the Green's this year. It was a quick change of plans, I think Grams knows though.

After Thanksgiving Dinner

Joey: Seems weird hanging out sans Dawson.

Will: I hope I am a welcome replacement.

Joey: Not even close

Dawson enters

Dawson: Hey guys I saw the light on from my house.

Jen: You…what the hell have you and Principal Green's daughter been doing?

Dawson: Patience my friend…all will be revealed in due time.
