Jody leaned towards Wolf and tapped her glass of wine 
to his.  "To beginnings?"

	"To beginnings," Wolf agreed as he took a sip and 
looked into her eyes.

	The couple jumped apart, startled, as Peter pulled 
out the chair next to them.  The elder twin took a napkin 
and wiped at the wine that had sloshed onto his lap.  "Warn 
a guy next time, will you?"

	"Huh?  Oh, sorry." Peter waved his beer around.  
"It's just nice to have everything back to normal.  Music's 
good, beer's good, Kermit and his date are living it up in 
Paris."  He motioned near the bar where a couple was locked 
in a deep embrace behind the bar.  "Even Terry and Tracy 
are back to normal."

	"Hey, Terry!  Tracy!"  Stacy, one of Delancy's 
waitresses called.  "You working today or what?  When your 
boss hears about you fooling around on the job, he's going 
to fire you."

	The couple reluctantly broke apart.  Tracy grabbed 
her waitressing tray and headed towards their table.  "Any 
of you ready for refills?"

	The detectives shook their heads.  "So how was your 
weekend at the beach?"

	Tracy clutched the tray to her chest and looked back 
to where her boyfriend was tending bar.  "It was great."

	"Despite the weather?" Wolf asked.

	"Weather?" Tracy asked puzzled.

	"Yeah.  According to the papers, there was a storm 
going on near the shore," Wolf replied.

	Tracy blushed a deep red.  "I guess Terry and I 
didn't exactly notice the weather outside."

	Just then, the ring of a cell phone was heard.  Each 
of the detectives patted their jacket pockets.  Wolf held 
up his ringing phone in victory and got up.  "Excuse me for 
a moment."

	Peter shrugged and took another sip of beer before 
looking at Jody.  "So what's going on between you and 
Wolf?"

	Jody looked into her half empty wineglass as if it 
held the answers to the world inside.  "It's none of your 
business, Peter."

	"The Hell it isn't."  Peter banged his bottle down on 
the table in front of him.  "If you hurt him in any 
way...."

	"I know, I know.  But Peter, I'm serious about him."

	"Do you know for sure?  Just two months ago, you were 
serious about me."

	"Look, the only way I know to convince you is to stay 
with him.  And that takes time."

	Peter raised an eyebrow, "He told you?"

	"About his rule about sex?  Yeah."  Jody grimaced.  
"That and what happened at his wedding."  She reached out 
and touched his arm.  "He talks a good game, but I have a 
feeling that I'll have to go slow with him.  I don't want 
to scare him off.  And if he says wait or slow down, then 
I'll wait.  Because I have a feeling that things will work 
out in the end for us." She saw the doubtful look on his 
face.  "Really, Peter."

	Peter nodded.  If his twin could trust Jody with this 
information then maybe he was worrying for nothing.

	Wolf walked back to their table with a worried 
expression on his face.

	"What is it, bro?"

	"That was Cassy St. John.  You remember, Tom's 
partner?"

	Peter nodded and motioned for his twin to continue.

	"Something's happened to Tom."  Wolf answered.

	Peter rose from his chair, reaching for his cell 
phone with one hand.  "I'll call Captain Blaisdell."
	
	Wolf nodded and opened his cell phone as well.

	As Peter hit the speed dial for his foster father's 
home, he asked, "Who are you calling?"

	"If something's happened to Tom, Uncle Damon will 
want to know."

	Peter gave him a thumbs up sign and turned his 
attention to his phone.  "Hullo, Mom?  Yeah, I know it's 
late.  But can I talk to Dad?  It's important."

	Beside Peter, Wolf talked in his own phone.  "Hello, 
Uncle Damon?  Something's happened to Tom.  Yes, Peter and 
I will be on the next flight out to Palm Beach.  We'll meet 
you at the station."  

	Wolf and Peter snapped their phones shut 
simultaneously.  "Ready?"  

	Wolf nodded and turned to Jody.  "I'm sorry, 
Dollface.  Can I take a raincheck for the rest of this 
date."

	"I understand.  Is there anything I can do to help?" 
Jody asked, reaching for her jacket.

	"Drop us off at the airport?"

	"You got it."
