Chapter 2

It was a nice morning in Portland Maine. Peyton parked her car in the parking lot of the dry cleaners and walked into the store.

"Hello," the clerk said. "May I help you?"

"Yes ma'am," Peyton said handing the clerk her dress. "My daughter is going to the prom next week and she wants to wear this dress. I was wondering if I could have it dry cleaned?"

"Yes ma'am," the employee replied. "We will have it ready in 2 days."

"2 days?" Peyton asked.

"A lot of parents want their children's prom clothes dry cleaned," the employee said.

"Okay," Peyton said giving them a slip of paper. "Here's my number if you could please call me when it's ready. Thank you."

Peyton walked out of dry cleaners. As she walked to her car, what she saw caused her to drop everything she was holding. Her car had spray painted on it "WATCHMEWATCHU".

Peyton immediately called the police. When the police arrived, they asked her some questions.

"Now does this WATCHMEWATCHU mean anything?" an officer asked.

"That was the username of Ian Banks," Peyton replied.

"Oh yeah," the officer said. "We heard about that."

"But Ian is dead," Peyton said. "Unless he's a zombie, I doubt this was him."

"Was the story ever in the paper?" the officer asked.

"Yes," Peyton replied.

Another officer walked over to them.

"Hey," the other officer said. "I talked to the owner of the store and she said the camera has been broken for weeks."

"Oh no," Peyton said.

"It's probably just some teenager trying to scare you," the officer said. "Now we're going to check the other cameras around the area. If we find anything, we'll let you know."

"Peyton!" Lucas shouted as he ran over to them.

"Lucas!" Peyton shouted.

Lucas and Peyton embraced tightly.

"Are you okay?" Lucas asked.

"I'm fine," Peyton said. "It's probably some teenager being a smart ass."

"We'll need to take your car as evidence and check for finger prints," one of the officers said.

"Okay," Peyton said.

"We will call you when your car is ready to be picked up Mrs. Scott," the other officer said.

The officers walked off and Peyton's car was towed away.

"Well I need to get to the store," Peyton said.

"I'll drive and go with you," Lucas said.

"I can just walk," Peyton said.

"I'm not letting you go alone," Lucas said.

"It's just a teenager trying to scare me," Peyton said.

"We don't know that," Lucas said.

"Ian is dead Luke," Peyton said. "We saw his body."

"There's more than one psycho in the world," Lucas said.

"Fine," Peyton said. "Watch me like a hawk. Bu there's nothing dangerous going on."
