Everywhere they went. Nothing.

Ophelia woke the next day feeling worse than she had the night before. She had to find Richard and find out what that tattoo was and tell him that what had happened can never never happen again.

Quickly getting out of bed her eye fell on her bedside table, a massive wad of cash was there with a note on top.

'Gone to work early, getting them cobras! Can't wait to see the dress. I love you, Xavier xxxxxx'

Ophelia sighed as she put the note down and walked over to her wardrobe. Pulling out a multicoloured flowered dress she grabbed fresh underwear and headed into the bathroom for a quick shower.

In no time she was done and dressed, her hair had been brushed as she slipped on her wedges and grabbed a handbag. Putting the money inside she brushed her dress down and headed out.

Her father had offered her a lift into Castle Rock but she refused and said she fancied the walk as she took her time walking along towards the little town.

Obviously she had to sort her dress out and potentially other things but her mind was still focused on finding Richard, although somehow he was always the one that found her.

Walking through Castle Rock she started glancing around. Nothing yet.

She walked past the Blue Point diner. Nothing yet.

She walked past the florists, the pharmacy, a pawn shop and a vets. Nothing yet.

It never took him this long to find her before.

She arrived at the dress shop and headed inside. It didn't take long but everything was soon paid for and dealt with as a copy of her paperwork was placed in her handbag.

Thanking the lady she turned and headed out, looking around she still saw no sight of him. Just as she took back off towards the florists she saw Chris Chambers coming at her, kicking the ground.

"Hey mister." She said with a smile as she approached him.

He looked up and smiled weakly at her. "Hey." He mumbled in response.

"Are you okay kid? What's up?"

He shrugged slightly. "It's nothing."

She shook her head. "Come on talk to me, it always helps having someone to talk to."

Chris shrugged slightly and looked down. "You're a copper or a detectives wife though."

She shook her head and smiled. "Not yet. And don't worry I won't tell him."

He shrugged again.

"I'll buy you a milkshake?" She offered up, remembering his friend's mention of them.

Chris looked up slowly. "Banana?" He asked with a small smile.

Ophelia moved to his side and offered him her hand. He smiled brighter at her as he reached out and took it, letting himself guide her back to the Blue Point.

"So what's going on?" She asked, gently swinging their arms.

"So I take it you know about all these breaks in too?" He asked.

She nodded.

"Well there was three more last night. Gonna get to the point where there isn't a place that hasn't been hit!" He said as he continued to guide her along.

"The coppers reckon it was the cobras, well your soon to be beloved does."

Ophelia nodded slowly, letting him continue.

"So your guy comes breaking our door down this morning, loads of other officers with him too right. All set to arrest Eyeball, demanding to know where he is and that! But he's gone."
