(Wolf pays the taxi driver and gets out. As he walks to the park behind the lake, a feeling of trepidation washes over him. He sits down at a bench and picks up a day old newspaper. He flips through it for a bit and then looks up.)
(It's a beautiful day. The sun is shining, the air is cool, there are a few clouds hovering in the lazy pre summer sky. Wolf leans back in the bench and lets himself take in some of the sun for a while. Then he straightens up and walks over to a nearby phone. He picks up the phone book that dangles from a cord and flips through it. He isn't granted the information he wants so he picks up the phone and hits operator. After five minutes of annoyance and holding, he's given the number to a mansion in northern Pennsylvania. He punches the digits into the phone and waits as the phone rings.)

(A soft, female voice tinted with a German accent answers the phone. It sounds like the voice is coming from an empty room.)
Liz: Guten tag. Who may I ask ist calling?

(Wolf takes a silent deep breath before he answers.)
Wolf: Yes, I'm looking for a woman by the name of Carina Van Dahl. I was wondering if anyone lived there by that name?
(Chaze holds his breath and waits for an answer.)

(Wolf broke a grin. He heard the gasp and knew he was talking to his love.)
Wolf: That's for her to find out. Could you be a doll and find out if she's interested. If she is, tell her that I'll be at the park behind Dave's Christmas Trees.
(Wolf hangs up the phone. As he goes back to the bench, he picks up the newspaper again and starts reading it to pass the time.)

(About fifteen minutes later, Liz rounds a bend in the parks path. She is in her human form, but her eyes are still their in their pupiless form and they are back to their deadsage color. She is also carrying her swords with her. She walks right past Chaze without even realizing who it is and takes a seat a near by bench. She crosses her legs and looks out over the lake.)

(Chaze is reading the sports section as he catches a scent of Elizabeth. He smiles and slowly lowers the newspaper. He looks out at her and grins. As he raises the newspaper back in front of him, he calls out to her.)
Wolf: Hey, Carina Van Dahl. I believe that you're looking for me.

(Liz's dead eyes narrow at the sound of her alias. She gets up and stands in front of the man. She hasn't spoken verbally since returning from Egypt and she wasn't about to start now. Even in his head, her voice sounds dead.)
Liz:Vas do you vant vith me? Und how do you know mein name?

(Chaze lowers the newspaper and looks up at her with his eyes.)
Wolf: Hello Elizabeth. How've you been?

(Liz shakes her dark head, her dead eyes wide with shock and fear. She begins to back away slowly.)
Liz: Nien. You died in mein arms. I built a tomb around you. YOU CAN NOT BE ALIVE!
(At first, Liz's words were soft and apprehensive, but her last words rang loudly in Chaze's head.)

(Chaze swallows hard at that statement and then gets up from the bench. He stands tall in front of Liz and holds his arms open for her.)
Wolf: Yeah, I died. I know I did. But now I'm back and I want to be with you. Please, don't turn me away Liz.

(Liz stares at Chaze's outstreched hands then back up into his eyes. Suddenly she flings herself at him and starts to cry into his chest.)
Liz: How? How did das happen?

(Chaze hugs Liz as firm and gentle as he can. He buries his face in her hair and kisses her head.)
Wolf: Don't worry about that. It's fine. I'm fine. What's important now is that you're safe and I'm alive. And now I have you.

(Liz changes back into her normal, furry form, not caring if anyone sees. She rubs her furred cheek against his chest, drinking in his sweet scent.)
Liz: Ich liebe Sie Chaze. I love you.

(Chaze kisses her head once more and looks down into her deadsage eyes. They've lightened up a bit, and he smiles at them. He closes his eyes and kisses her passionately. As he finally draws back he can feel Apocalypse start to stir in him. His eyes widen in fear, and he gently pushes Liz away from him.)
Wolf: Ok, good. That was good, I love you too. But now you have to leave, for your own safety. Please, get outta here.
