[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I don't think so. He's freaking crazy about you."

"Here, let's stop in for a bit to eat something--I have a phone call to make, and then you completely read me in. Yeah?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Then why doesn't he believe me? He knows I wouldn't kiss someone else, right?" she asked, eyes wide.
"Well, considering your past history with a certain werewolf..." Edward put in.
"Edward!"

"Sounds like a plan."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I don't even think James considered that. It's probably because he's known his friend for longer that he's there instead of here."

"Good."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Probably. I'm hoping for the best here."

"That looks like a place," he said, pointing to a nearby cafe.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Me too."

"Perfect."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray sighed and glanced at her phone again.

Tom headed in that direction and went inside.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I'm sure he'll call soon."

Once they were seated, James dug in a pocket. "Hey, I'll be back in a sec. Phone call to make. Order for me if I take too long." And with that he was out of his seat, stepping back outside and dialing Ray's number without even looking.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I know, I know," she sighed.

"Alright, man," he said and leaned back in his seat. He drummed his fingers on the table quickly, reflecting on what had just happened. His hands clenched into fists. He didn't like hurting James, but it had to be done to get what he wanted.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She blinked when the phone rang. "I'll let you get that."

James leaned against the wall of the restaurant, running a hand through his hair as he listened to the dial tone. He wasn't sure if he wanted her to answer or not.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray jumped when her phone started ringing. She snatched it and walked to another part of the room, jamming the answer key. "James?" she asked, her voice quiet.

Tom glanced at James out the window and shook his head, and then flipped through the menu.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He exhaled into the receiver, smiling. "Hi, Ray."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm glad you called," she murmured, curling a strand of hair around her finger.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"How are you doing?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Not good. What about you?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Eating lunch."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Exciting."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I also have a job coming up," he added a moment later.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She froze. "What...what does that mean?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Hey, hey," he said, trying to be soothing. "It just means I can't be on vacation forever. I'll be gone for a month, tops, and then I'll be back as soon as I can. Okay?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You're going to kill someone, aren't you?" she asked, her voice tight. She shut her eyes.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I am not."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Then what do you mean by 'a job'?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You think all I did was go around killing people?" he joked, pretending to be offended. "There's more to it than that."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Sorry," she sighed, "I just worry, you know? I don't want you to get into any sort of trouble."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Don't worry about me. I'll be back as soon as I can."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm sure you will. You're going with Tom, aren't you?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He sighed. "Yeah."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I hope you have fun with him," she said, trying hard to keep the ice out of her voice.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Ray," he said quietly. "I never give you grief for your friends."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I know, I know."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Besides, I haven't really worked in ages. How do you expect an ordinary guy to pay for things, huh?" he teased.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, you better buy me something, then," she said, her tone becoming much lighter.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

That made him laugh. "Hmm, what to buy for the woman who can theoretically have everything?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm sure you'll think of something. You do have a brain, don't you?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Who knows. Maybe I'm a scarecrow after all."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'd hope not," she laughed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"So do I."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm glad that we agreed," she said and sighed, "I'm gonna miss you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I already miss you. Do I get some sort of prize?" he teased.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Prize for what?" she asked.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Missing you first," he replied, laughing.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What? No!" she laughed in disbelief.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"How come? It's a perfectly good reason for a prize!"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Fine, we'll see when you get back," she told him.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Ouch."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I think that sounds fair."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He sighed. "Fine, fine."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Good," she said, smiling.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Don't get into too much trouble while I'm gone."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't know if I can promise that."
