The unexpected visitor

Meanwhile Pacey was working at the restaurant he was just closing when he heard the bells jingle. "Sorry where closed" He said. "Where's Marissa?" He heard a voice say.

He turned around surprised to see Jimmy standing there. "Jimmy you should go" He said. "Where's my daughter Pacey?" He said. "Look I suggest you leave her alone" He said.

"Or what are you gonna do?" He said. "You got some nerve you know that showing your face around here after what you did" Pacey said. "Marissa's a liar" He said.

"Well I don't think she's lying about this one. So do yourself a favor and go back to Austin and stay out of her life" Pacey said getting angry. "I'm not letting her stay here. What you think you're her father now? That you run the show? That you can do better?" Jimmy said coming closer to him yelling.

"Jimmy I'm not telling you again you leave Marissa the hell alone" He said darkly. "Oh Yeah or what?" Jimmy said. Pacey looked at him.

"Or if you like I can report this little incident and you may never get your daughter back" Joey said coming in. Pacey looked at her. "Who the hell are you?" Jimmy said.

"I'm someone who cares about Marissa and if you don't want to go to jail over this then I suggest you leave" Joey warned him. He looked at Pacey. "This isn't over" Jimmy said walking out.

Pacey gripped his fists. Joey went over and locked the door after him. "Are you okay?" She said coming towards him. "Yeah I'm fine if you didn't come in when you did I probably would have spent the night in jail" He said.

"Well I'm glad I decided to show up then" She said joking. He smiled. "So you met my jack ass of a brother in law what do you think?" He said.

"I think that he's an ass and if he knows what's good for him then he would leave Marissa alone" She said. "It's not over I know it" He said.

"Didn't he know Julie sent her here?" She said. "No I talked to Julie the other day she said he didn't know where she was. Apparently that's all changed" He said.

"You can't let him go near Marissa Pace he can derail her from getting over this which she's finally starting to do" She said.

"As long as I'm alive and well he won't get near her" He said. "Where is she?" She said. He thought about it. "Marissa's at the dance" He said suddenly grabbing his keys and racing towards the door. "Pacey wait a minute" She said following him.

A few minutes later they arrived at Harbor. He got out. She chased after him. "Pacey think about this he's not that stupid to show up at her school. What are the odds that he even knows she's at the dance?" She said.

"Because Joey he found me at work which means he's been to the house and he knows she's not there. And he could have very well have found out where she goes to school" He said rushing towards the door.

"So what are you going to do drag her out? Embarrass her in front of her friends? Just because you're worried that he might get to her?" She said. "You have a better idea?" He said.

"Yeah I do. Wait out here look out for him I'll go inside check in on Marissa since I'm a counselor here the kids will probably think I'm chaperoning it." She said. He nodded in agreement. "Okay" She said going to walk off. "Joey thank you" He said. She walked off.

Joey looked around the gym for any sign of Marissa but she didn't see her. She looked for anyone who knew her and she saw Seth talking with Summer by the other end. She walked up to him.

"Seth" She said. "Hi Ms. Potter" He said. "I was wondering if you knew where I can find Marissa" She said. "Marissa and Ryan already left I think they where going back home" Summer said.

"Why is something wrong?" Seth said getting a weird feeling. "No just if you hear from Ryan or Marissa tell her not to go home to just go to your house" She said walking away.

"That was weird" Summer said. "Yeah which can only mean one thing" He said. "Marissa and Ryan are in trouble" She said. "Yeah come on we gotta find them" Seth said grabbing her by the hand.

Meanwhile Marissa and Ryan were just getting out of the car. He had driven her home. They where walking to her front gate. "So I had a nice time tonight" She said.

"Yeah it looks like Seth and Summer kind of hit it off too" He said She smiled. "Yeah maybe Seth will be happy for awhile huh?" She said.

"Yeah" He said looking at her. She looked at him.

Wondering what she was doing she had no interest in just being his friend so she decided to talk to him about it.

"Ryan I… She got interrupted. "Marissa" She heard the voice and knew automatically who it was.

She stood frozen in her spot and turned to the person who had spoke...
