Chapter Nine - The Hunt Continues
 
 

I found the next note exactly where he said it would be.

Becca,
      Ok, you've made it this far!  Now go to the place where we went on our
first date.  You're almost done!
Love,
         Frick

I sat down at the booth Brian and I always got and ordered a Mocha Latte.

"You're Becca Williams, right?" the waitress asked me as she set my drink
down on the table.

"Yes," I said uncertainly.

She smiled.  "Brian said we should be expecting you soon and to give you
this."  She reached into her apron, pulled out a small box, and handed it to
me.  "I'm really going to miss him.  He was such a sweet guy," she said.

"Yeah," I said absently as I opened the box.

I lifted the deep blue velvet lid.  Inside was a beautiful necklace.  It was
in the shape of a heart, with a tiny angel in the center, and had tiny
diamonds and blue sapphires on it, all on a delicate gold chain.  A small
note fell out when I gently lifted the necklace out of the box.

My love, =0)
     Hope you like the necklace.  Nick helped me pick it out; I thought it'd
be perfect.  Only one more!  Go back to your room and put the tape that's on
top of your VCR and push play.  Sit back and enjoy my masterpiece!  I love
you.
