"Mary! The boys are here!" Tami shouted.

"Coming!" Mary quickly answered.

Mary had finished her packing a while ago so she was ready to go. She quickly put the book she was reading down and walked to the doorway. Right as she was about to leave she turned at looked at the room again.

Tami had really outdone herself this time. The room was all blue and lavender and had a retro feel added to it. Two walls were painted lavender and the other two were painted blue. It wasn't a dark blue, but it wasn't a light blue either, more of a medium. The single bed in the corner had a blue comforter with all these crazy, funky, lavender triangles on it. The dresser, nightstand and vanity were all painted blue. The floor was a purple shag carpet. To top the look off there was a purple beanbag under the window and a blue lava lamp on the nightstand.

"Mary?" Tami shouted.

"Sorry!" Mary said meeting Tami and the boys at the front door. "I was looking at my amazing room!"

"Thanks! I am glad you like it. I am just sad that you didn't get to help me decorate." Tami replied.

Later at the pizza place

"Okay what will you have?" the waiter asked them.

"I think we will have one veggie pizza." Joey answered

"And one macaroni pizza." Dustin added.

Joey and Mary looked at Tami and Dustin as if they needed to go to an insane asylum.

"What!?!" Tami asked.

"It's really good!" Dustin assured them.

"Okay whatever you say." Joey said rolling his eyes. Mary couldn't help but laugh.

Then her eyes fell on the door. The man that had been at the park reading the newspaper had just walked in. He looked like he was middle aged. He had on a long black t-shirt and black shorts. To top off his weird ensemble he had a black fedora pulled low over his eyes. To Mary he looked well… just plain strange.

Joey was wearing a black fedora, too. But, he looked much better. Joey was wearing a white polo with a black unbuttoned vest over it. He had on black jeans shorts and some black sketchers.

Suddenly their pizza arrived.

"Dude, are you really going to eat that!" Joey asked Dustin.

"Sure am!" Dustin answered taking a bite.

"You want to try a piece, Mary?" Tami asked.

"Well… uhh…" Mary stammered. "Sure! Why not!?" Tami handed her a piece. Mary took a bite of the bubbling, cheesy mass. "Whoa!" she said with her mouthful. "You weren't kidding!"

Joey gave Mary a very strange look. Mary laughed. "Oh don't look at me that way." She giggled.

"Here why don't you try one J.P.?" Dustin asked.

"No thanks. I am fine with my veggie pizza." He answered.

"Seriously Joey try it!" Mary said. Joey sighed.

"Okay." He picked up a piece of pizza and took a small bite. Then his blue eyes bugged out of his head. "Wow! This is actually really good!"

They all laughed at his goofy expression.

On the way home.

"I had a fun time." Joey said.

Mary looked nervously into the rearview mirror. Yep that car was still there. He had been behind them since they had left the Pizza place.

"I did too." Tami said. "It was funny when you found out that you liked macaroni pizza."

"Yeah" Dustin added. "By the end of the night you had polished off half of the pizza!" Everyone except Mary laughed at that.

Joey quizzically looked at Mary then asked her, "Is something the matter? You sure are quiet."

"Huh?" Mary jumped. "Uhhh… no." she answered shaking her head vigorously.

"Okay…" Joey said questionably. "Oh we are here." He said pulling into Tami's driveway. Mary looked back and saw the car that was behind them pull into a parking space at the park.

"You know you guys don't have to go right now." Tami said. "It is still early. We could go for a walk in the park."

"Sounds good." Dustin said.

As they got out of the car and started walking on one of the parks many trails, Joey saw that Mary was shivering. So he put his arm around hear. Mary didn't seem to notice and she was still shivering violently. Because see wasn't shivering because she was cold. In fact she felt fine. She was shivering because the man dressed in black from the pizza place had stepped out of the car, and was silently trailing behind them.

She didn't know who he was, or what he wanted. But he was definitely following them.
