Adam Gantry

I woke up in a strange town with no clue where I was or how I had gotten there. The only way I know that my name is Adam Gantry is because that's what my ID says. The only thing I do remember is her.

Stacey followed Adam toward the car and let him be the one to open the door. He already had it open before she had the chance to imagine that someone had rigged the car with explosives and it would blow them to kingdom come the moment the door clicked. 

It wasn’t a stupid thought. She had seen worse.

The car didn’t explode. “Anything stirring your memory?” She asked, hanging back unsure of what to do right now. This was all kinds of awkward for her. Especially the part where Adam didn’t know her, or know what they had shared. 

[adamgantry]

Adam rifled through the glove box, and frowned. "Nothing." He finally said. "Apparently I rented the car in Denver, Colorado. Makes sense since my licence is from the area. And I drove it here..."

He sat in the driver's seat staring out the windshield for a few long moments before he turned his head towards Stacey. "When we were together, did we live in Denver?" He had no idea if he had moved at some point or if he had stayed where he had been since before the break up.

"I can’t imagine what this must be like for you." Stacey said when the silence dragged for a few moments. She and Adam had known how to be comfortable in silence with each other, but that closeness was lacking now. Whether it was the fact that Stacey had vanished from his life, or the fact that he did not know her, it just felt incredibly awkward. 

"The frustration, the aloneness…I know that isn’t a word, but I imagine I’d feel removed from everything, disconnected. I mean I feel like that any way and I know who I am and who everyone else is, for the most part." She was talking to just fill the air as they walked and it showed. Yet she continued on as she led them to the carpark on the south side of the park. Fingers crossed his car and some answers would be there.

"It's pretty surreal. I feel like I'm in a dream. Like one of us is going to grow twenty feet and start speaking gibberish before I wake up in my own bed. Wherever that may be." Adam admitted. He glanced over at Stacey, a frown on his face. "Why do you feel like that?"

They made it to the other side of the park where there was another parking lot and Adam clicked the alarm remote. He heard a faint beep from a few rows in. "I think it's here."

Disappointingly there was a complete lack of beeping. “Maybe if we walk around the park you might have parked on the other side.” Stacey suggested, though it was still a long shot. Just because he had woken up at the park didn’t mean that he had gotten there under his own steam. He could have been dumped there, or his car could have been joy ridden off and dumped somewhere, torched even.

Stacey tried to pull her negative nancy side back in, thinking the worst wasn’t going to help anyone. Without thinking she reached for his hand to walk with him, freezing as her fingers brushed against the side of his hand. “Uh, sorry, guess that was force of habit or something.”

[adamgantry]

"Yeah, good idea." Adam said as they began walking. He didn't want to voice his fear that maybe his car was elsewhere and he had been driven here by whomever had beaten him senseless.

His stomach experienced a pleasant swooping sensation as Stacey's hand brushed against his. "It's okay. It felt... nice." He almost told her that he wouldn't mind holding hands with her, but refrained. According to Stacey they were broken up, which was obvious seeing as she had moved to this strange town.

"Of course, let’s focus on that. What you were doing, who hurt you." Stacey nodded, now would not be the best time to visit anything about her leaving him, or their past. He remembered nothing of her, where as she recalled it all, even her body remembered him. 

Now was not the time.

Stacey pulled into one of the spots by the park and stopped. She looked around, there were no Honda’s that she could see. Assuming she was even remembering what they were correctly. “This would be easier if you even knew the colour of the car.”

[adamgantry]

"That would help us figure out the rest I suppose." Adam mused. He looked around the parking lot as Stacey parked, frowning. Looking down, he focused on the key ring with the car keys on it. "This might help." He said as he showed Stacey the little car alarm remote.

"That it might. We can point it and click it randomly until it we hear one of the cars beep." Stacey said as she undid her seat belt.

"Good plan." Adam said. The two of them got out of the car and he clicked the remote while pointing it at the cars nearest them, waiting to hear the tell tale beep.

Stacey shook her head. “She won’t get mad with me, Belle’s good people.” She replied, she thought she might know which park he was talking about, it wasn’t like there were fifty to pick from. “And it’s okay Adam. I don’t know how it was that you found me this morning but I wouldn’t trust anyone else to help you out. I mean, that sounds weird, but I mean that I’ll always help you when you need me. I’ve thought about you a lot.”

She glanced over at it unsure what else to say, she just knew that it was good to see him, even if this meant that she was going to have to maybe move again. If she told anyone he had found her that was, assuming it was more than coincidence.

[adamgantry]

"You have?" Adam asked, latching on to the tail end of what she had said. He didn't know why, but that surprised him. He supposed it was because the Adam with his memory intact would recall that she had left him and he assumed that would have meant she hadn't thought about him.

"I don't know what's going on with you or me, but I'm sure things will be easier to handle once I figure out how I got here and why. Getting my memory back would be a huge plus, too."

Stacey nearly slid her hand into Adam’s as they left the house. Seemed old habits died hard. “Can you give me instructions to where you were? Do you remember how to get there?”

Stacey walked down to the car and unlocked it so they could get in. She was so confused by Adam being here. Especially as she’d been thinking about him so much lately, what with it being a year since they’d said goodbye. Was it coincidence that he was here, or had he been looking for her. She hoped the second. She hoped that a lot. It was nice to think that a guy could care enough for her to come for her.

[adamgantry]

"Yeah. It should be really easy. I woke up on a park bench about a forty minute or so walk south of the cafe. I'm pretty sure I walked in pretty much a straight line from it." Adam said before he got in the car. He buckled up and waited for her to settle in behind the wheel.

"I'm sorry if I've disrupted your work day." He said as she started up the car. He realized she had been at work and his showing up had made her drop everything. "I hope your boss won't get mad at you."

"Let’s hope it’s one of those new Civics and a rental car or you downgraded." Stacey was not an import girl, she was a muscle car girl. If they found the car and it had neon lights or something she was going to think the head injury had happened earlier.

"How about we drive down to where you found yourself and work out from there, see if we can find the car an any trace of what you were doing here. Maybe find the rest of your clothes that aren’t as…dirty as those." She gestured with her hand and blushed as her eyes went up and down his body and she got a little distracted. Just for a moment mind you.

It was a sound plan, and the only one she had for now.

[adamgantry]

Adam gave her a curious look and shrugged. "I'm going to guess my usual ride was a lot nicer than a Honda?" He nodded as she laid out their plan. It was a sensible one at that. Adam liked to think he would have thought of a similar one had the roles been reversed.

"I think that's a great idea. If I drove here, odds are I packed at least a few changes of clothes." He noticed her cheeks redden and wondered what thought had caused that. He wouldn't push, though. She was literally the only person he knew and the only one who could help him right now.

Standing up, he held his hand out to her. "Shall we head out?"

Stacey almost groaned aloud. This conversation was not happening. Only it was and she could not change topic to how had he been, was he seeing someone, did he get the car in the end. He could not answer the questions after all.

Car.

Now that was something to latch on to. “Car, you must have had a car. Well I mean you could have trained or planed but most people automobile and you always preferred driving. Did you wake with car keys? House keys? A hotel room key?”

How smooth was that, totally ignore what he’d asked and pray he wouldn’t ask again. If that failed well she could almost kiss him. Oh lordy she’d thought about kissing him again enough.

[adamgantry]

Adam stood up so he could search his pockets. He pulled out two sets of keys, one that looked like car keys and the other he guessed were for a house or an apartment. "I have these." He said unnecessarily since she could very well see them.

He frowned as he sat down and handed her both sets. "You're not going to answer my question then, huh?" He snorted slightly. "I'm going to take that as a yes." He sighed as she examined the keys. "Apparently I drive a Honda." He observed out loud as she examined the car keys first.

Stacey couldn’t help the unattractive snort. An asshole. That was a world of nope. Stacey perched on the arm of the chair and looked over at Adam. “No. You weren’t an asshole. You were the opposite, you were…you were wonderful. I don’t have any bad memories, except for having to leave.”

How was she meant to explain all this without giving everything away. These secrets weren’t just hers to share. At least he didn’t remember that she left him without any goodbye.

[adamgantry]

Adam let out a breath he hadn't even realized he had been holding. Relief floods him as she answered, swiftly followed by confusion. He had been afraid that he had done something terrible to Stacey and that was why there were apart. The idea of her having to leave confused him.

"You had to leave? Were you-" Adam broke off and looked around as if some shadowy figure was lurking behind a piece of furniture. "in trouble?" He finished, lowering her voice for no reason since they were clearly the only ones there.

Stacey had been pacing around the living room while Adam showered. There was a couple of reasons for her being unable to sit still. First, what the heck was she meant to do now? And Second, the man she had cared for the most was in the shower. Naked. As in no clothes. As in hot steamy shower. Naked.

She almost jumped when he returned, thankfully dressed, not that it stopped her mind from going….there.

"So you are. How do you feel?" She asked and gestured he could sit down again. She couldn’t go to the police about this, she was living under a false identity and she did not want any attention brought to herself. Could she go to the people who protected her? Or would that go badly for Adam? No, she couldn’t take that risk. People had already died for lesser things, she couldn’t risk Adam. Not for a moment. She had walked away from him, but that didn’t mean she hadn’t left her heart behind.

[adamgantry]

Adam sat down before shrugging. "I've been better. I mean my head hurts, I'm a bit sore and I have no clue who I am or what's going on." He sighed as he looked up at her. "How are you?"

"Me?"

"Yeah, you. I can't imagine what you must be feeling. I assumed we knew each other hence me actually remembering you, but we're not together so there must be a reason for that." He frowned as he thought of something. "I was an asshole, right?"
