Hi Everyone, this is a story I started thinking about after watching JAWS a few weeks ago. I've always kind of had a thing for Richard Dreyfuss, especially as Matt Hooper. Anyways, this is a Hooper/OC story and I hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I only own Caroline. I am not making money off of this story. Having said that, please enjoy!

"Morning Caroline," I looked up at the Police Chief, Mr. Martin Brody from the small table in Sue's coffee shop I always had my breakfast.

"Good morning Mr. Brody." I smiled at the tall thin man wearing the tan uniform he always wore.

"Heard anything from your dad?"

"I heard he just got back in from a week on the water." I said as I looked back at my coffee momentarily. "How are your boys?"

"Michael's birthday is in a few days, we're actually having a small dinner, I don't know if you'd be interested in coming along?"

"Shouldn't it just be family?" I asked with a smile. I had babysat for the Brodys a few times, and was one of the women who helped at the after school program for the kids in town, it watched them, took them on field trips around the island and taught them things. Both the Brody kids were enrolled in it.

"Well the kids both love you, and we think Michael may have a bit of a crush on you." he winked at me and I laughed.

"Alright, just give me a call and let me know when and where, I'll be there." I smiled and he nodded before Sue brought his order out. He took it and paid before looking at me.

"I'll have Ellen give you a call." he said and I nodded.

"Sure thing, have a good day." I smiled brightly. He nodded and walked away, when he did, I finished my breakfast and paid before I walked out of the coffee shop. Tourists were walking around the town, holding kids by their arms, or talking to each other, some had bikes, and others had dogs on leashes. I smiled looking around before I quickly walked to my summer job, working at the information center. I walked into the office and sighed seeing Robert Lancer trying to fix the air conditioning.

"Morning Robbie." I said as I set my coffee down, he obviously hadn't heard me walk in, because he jumped and turned around, his chestnut brown hair was swept in front of his face and he looked at me with wide grey eyes before he cleared his throat.

"Morning Miss Caroline, I didn't hear you come in." he said and smiled at me.

"What's the verdict?"

"Hmm?" he tore his eyes away from me and cleared his throat. "Oh well, there's a part I need to go order and I can pick up on the mainland, it should take me a few hours, but I can have it done before you get off tonight." he said and I nodded.

"Okay, well, keep me updated." I smiled at him and he nodded.

"So, um, Miss Caroline," he started as I put my purse under my desk and straightened some pamphlets.

"Yes?" I asked slowly.

"Do you think- maybe- you'd like to go to dinner with me sometime?" To be honest, I know Robbie had a thing for me, but I wasn't expecting him to actually ask me out anytime soon. I was so surprised I stopped what I was doing and looked at him. He was nice, sweet, gentle, and was basically Amity's golden boy.

"Sure." I smiled surprising him and myself. I watched as his face broke out in a wide smile and then cleared his throat.

"Well that's- great- I um, I'll get that part for you, and then we can decide where to go." he stumbled over his words as he got his stuff and walked out of the information office. Mrs. Jerome walked in as he walked out and gave him an odd look as he rushed out, then looked to me.

"What on earth did you do to Robby Lancer?" she asked and I laughed lightly.

"I only agreed to go out to dinner with him." I said with a shrug and a smile.

The next evening I went out to dinner with Robby, we went to a nice restaurant, Zoe's, and the food was wonderful, I wore a nice dress, everything was perfect, except one thing.

That night at dinner I realized that Robby Lancer is without a doubt one of the most boring men I have ever gone out with. And that's not to say I went out with many men, I had a boyfriend when I was a teenager, and a live in boyfriend a few years ago, but lately it had just been dates here and there, and all of them were more interesting then Amity's golden boy. Even through that, I agreed to go on a second date with him, and while I knew it was probably cruel to do so, I thought, maybe, just maybe he was nervous and I wanted to give him a second chance.

"Hello Gustav," I said to my old Persian cat who was sitting on my couch when I got home from my date. I took my light sweater off- even though I didn't need it, it went with the dress I had worn. He mrowed at me and I chuckled before I went to the kitchen and opened a can of cat food as Gustav swirled around my feet. I smiled and put the food into a bowl and set it down in front of him. He gave an appreciative 'mrow' before he started to eat his food.

I went back to the living room and turned to the left, going to the stairs to the master bedroom. I changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top before brushing my hair into a ponytail and going to my bathroom where I washed all of the makeup off of my face, I went back to my room and grabbed a book off of my bookshelf and went to my bed, I laid down and was reading when I felt a pressure on my lower back. Turning slightly and craning my neck I laughed seeing Gustav making himself comfortable on my back. I turned and looked back at my book and turned the page, the written word of Charlotte Brontë, unaware that as I lay there reading a predator was slowly approaching the small island I called home.
