CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Henry, Doug, Billy and Polly waited while Aaron finished his breakfast, then when he got up to wander around and chat with other patrons, they left the diner.

Before getting to Doug’s car, Henry took Polly's arm and pulled her aside. "What happened last night, Polly?"

"Henry." Her voice took on a warning tone. "I'm fine. Nothing happened. Joey and I had a conversation that didn't go well and Aaron and the Musketeers were there to watch it happen. Now, don't do this again."

He released her and said, "Fine. But would you tell me if there was something I needed to worry about?"

Polly looked up at him in confusion. "I'm not sure what to say to you. You've gotten really protective of me and it doesn't make any sense. We work together and I know we're friends, but Henry, this is too much. Just let me work this out."

He put his hands up in surrender. "I guess I'm a worrier. Do you not understand there are people here who care about you now?"

"Oh, I understand perfectly. I'm not used to it and I really am trying, but some of these things I have to work out on my own."

"I don't think you're going to be able to do this alone, Polly. As I understand it, this guy is stalking you and he came here even after you made an attempt to hide your location from him."

"Wow. You have all the details, don't you?" she sneered.

"It's a small town, Polly," Henry said patiently. "There are no secrets around here. And if I hear something about someone I like, then I'm going to pay attention. Did he follow you out here after tracking you down?"

"Yes, Henry, he did. There's a stupid little girl back in Boston that is going to get her head taken off her shoulders if I have anything to say about it."

"Well, keep yourself safe. This isn't going to go away easily."

Then, he glanced over at Doug and Billy standing in front of the hardware store, peering in the window trying not to look obvious about waiting. "Your knights await you. Have a good rest of the weekend and I'll see you Monday morning."

"Thanks Henry," Polly said. "You, too."

"Okay boys, are we heading back to the barn?" she asked as she approached them and slipped her hands into their arms. They got in the car and Doug asked, "Did you have something else you wanted to do this morning? Because we've got time. Mr. Allen said we didn't have any work this weekend, so we're free as birds!"

"Well," she drew the word out, "What about driving me around town and showing me the sights?"

"Sure," Doug replied. "Do you mind if we stop by my house to pick up our costumes?"

"That would be wonderful. I'll get a chance to meet your mom again."

Doug’s parents lived in a little two story home with an immaculate front lawn. There were flower beds surrounding a big tree in the front yard. "Mom loves her gardens.
